Nike Makes Environmental Strides — and Abandons Carbon Offsets - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com

A new corporate responsibility report issued by shoe and apparel manufacturer Nike highlights the progress the company has made in reducing its environmental footprint, and the ways in which its climate change strategy is evolving — including its decision to abandon carbon offsets and renewable energy certificates as means of achieving carbon neutrality.

Chinese Urbanization Study | Climate Skeptic

The real debate is over whether the climate’s sensitivity to CO2 is high or low. Skeptics like me argue for low sensitivity, on the order of 0.5-1.0C per doubling once all feedbacks are taken in to account. Alarmists argue for numbers 3C and higher.

The problem alarmists have is that it is very, very difficult to reconcile past warming to high-sensitivity forecasts. It takes a lot of mathematical contortions, from time-delays to cooling aerosols to ignoring ocean cycles and natural recovery from the little ice age to make the numbers reconcile. Halving the actual historic warming by attributing the other half to measurement biases makes it even, uh, more impossible to reconcile high sensitivity models to actual history.
