ABC The Drum Unleashed - Joanne Nova - The money trail
Money for the Climate Industry: The US government spent $79 billion on climate research and technology since 1989 - to be sure, this funding paid for things like satellites and studies, but it's 3,500 times as much as anything offered to sceptics. It buys a bandwagon of support, a repetitive rain of press releases, and includes PR departments of institutions like NOAA, NASA, the Climate Change Science Program and the Climate Change Technology Program. The $79 billion figure does not include money from other western governments, private industry, and is not adjusted for inflation. In other words, it could be…a lot bigger.
Why scientists must be the new climate sceptics - opinion - 04 March 2010 - New Scientist
Science needs to fight back, but not just by attacking its critics. Scientists need to reclaim the badge of "scepticism". They need to show that although the essentials of global warming are settled, the field itself is alive with debate and revision, as all science should be. They need to tell the public that there are things in the science that are open for debate, even if those things do not detract from the case for action.
NYTimes.com: [Still trying to rebrand the global warming/climate change hoax as "global weirding"]
Global weirding means the number of places with truly dependable Winter Olympic weather will probably shrink, not increase.
C3: Recent Study Indicates "Global Warming" Is Not Causing Tree Lines To Move As Predicted
New research finds that the tree lines are not moving northward as predicted by global warming advocates and climate alarmist scientists. The research also found that winter temperatures have more influence over tree lines than summer temperatures, a complete contradiction of established "consensus" science.
"Facts" on climate change science - chicagotribune.com
...sea ice in the Antarctic has increased since satellite measurements began in 1979, even though the oceans have been getting warmer. Scientists attribute that to a variety of factors, including strong winds that create more open water conducive to forming sea ice.
