Snowstorm and climate change - latimes.com

For starters, the amount of recorded warming over the last century, about 1 degree Fahrenheit above preindustrial levels, is nowhere near enough to eradicate winter in the mid-Atlantic.  [but if it warms that much in the 21st century, will our descendants perish in fiery floods?]

"All you need is cold air and moisture to meet each other" to make snow, said Jay Gulledge, senior scientist for the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. "And with global warming, the opportunities to do that should be more frequent."

The late, great global warming scare: Ben Lieberman

...skeptics are facing a new challenge: overconfidence.

That's because everything of late has been breaking their way. OK, overconfidence may be an exaggeration. But the wheels are really coming off the global-warming cart. "Climategate" -- the recent leak of e-mails showing gross misconduct among scientists with key roles in the U.N. report -- raises serious questions about how much of the global-warming science we can really trust. They were, after all, manipulating the temperature data to show more warming, and subverting requests by independent researchers to see the underlying data.

European carbon scheme is a success, research says | Reuters

LONDON (Reuters) - The European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is a success and its flaws have not harmed its basic aim of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, multi-national research showed on Friday.

Experts at French state bank Caisse des Depots, the Paris-Dauphine University, the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research in the United States and University College Dublin collaborated to evaluate the scheme's trial period, which has widely been viewed as a failure.

World may not be warming, say scientists - Times Online

...new research, including work by British scientists, is casting doubt on such claims. Some even suggest the world may not be warming much at all.

“The temperature records cannot be relied on as indicators of global change,” said John Christy, professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, a former lead author on the IPCC.

Kevin Trenberth, a lead author of the chapter of the IPCC report that deals with the observed temperature changes, said he accepted there were problems with the global thermometer record but these had been accounted for in the final report.

“It’s not just temperature rises that tell us the world is warming,” he said. “We also have physical changes like the fact that sea levels have risen around five inches since 1972, the Arctic icecap has declined by 40% and snow cover in the northern hemisphere has declined.”

Dr Vicky Pope, head of climate change advice at the Met Office, said: “This new set of data confirms the trend towards rising global temperatures and suggest that, if anything, the world is warming even more quickly than we had thought.”
