Russians say Nyet! to the global warming scam | CLIMATEGATE
The RT does it again with another article questioning man-made climate change.
It’s the government’s garbage that’s the real worry | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
When you hear the word “green”, keep your hand on your wallet:
Scientist on fluctuating Pacific Northwest snowpacks: 'If you try to spin it that all of the loss we're seeing is evidence of what global warming is doing, you really risk undermining your credibility' | GORE LIED
Hmmmmmm. They say cite uncertainties in their modeling system, only sixty years of snowpack records, El Niño, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, statistical noise, and natural variations all as reasons that the Pacific Northwest snowpack is virtually impossible to predict. Oh, and their climate models have “a lot of uncertainties…that we’ve got to be honest about”.

So, basically the take-away message is (despite scads of research by highly educated scientists (many with the letters Ph.D. after their names) these guys don’t have a clue! And yet they assure us that “the scientific community is pretty unanimous this is a serious issue”. Yeah, right ;)
Flashback: Associate State Climatologist Fired for Exposing Warming Myths - by James M. Taylor - Environment & Climate News
University of Washington climate scientist Mark Albright was dismissed on March 12 from his position as associate state climatologist, just weeks after exposing false claims of shrinking glaciers in the Cascade Mountains.

Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels (D) had asserted in a February 7 Seattle Times editorial, "the average snow pack in the Cascades has declined 50 percent since 1950 and will be cut in half again in 30 years if we don't start addressing the problems of climate change now."
Flashback: RealClimate: Has Pacific Northwest snowpack declined? Yes.
So has Pacific Northwest snowpack declined? Emphatically yes. I say “emphatically yes” for three reasons. First, because Albright illustrates the supposed lack of a trend by comparing specific periods (e.g. 1940-1949 vs. 1997-2006), in which snowpack has increased in some locations.
