Al Gore to give Duke Environment and Society Lecture - Triangle Business Journal:

Gore, who won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his environmental advocacy, will deliver the Duke Environment and Society Lecture at 6 p.m. April 8 in the Page Auditorium on Duke’s West Campus.

“Since the beginning of his career, Al Gore has been relentless in his quest to bring the truth about global warming to the world, even when the world wasn’t listening,” said William L. Chameides, dean of the Nicholas School. “But the world can hear him now. We are fortunate and thrilled to have him bring his message to Duke.”

The Real Ocean Acidification Story

In summation, Hendriks et al. write that the world's marine biota are "more resistant to ocean acidification than suggested by pessimistic predictions identifying ocean acidification as a major threat to marine biodiversity," noting that this phenomenon "may not be the widespread problem conjured into the 21st century" by the world's climate alarmists. We agree, having reached much the same conclusion back at the turn of the last millennium (Idso et al., 2000). Hence, we are happy to endorse Hendriks et al.'s conclusion that "biological processes can provide homeostasis against changes in pH in bulk waters of the range predicted during the 21st century."

Thirty Years of Antarctic Snow and Ice Melt

Tedesco and Monaghan write that "efforts to understand the relative roles of the natural and anthropogenic mechanisms that influence Antarctic climate variability will be crucial for projecting future melt in Antarctica and subsequent impacts on ice sheet mass balance and sea level," and for all of the climate alarmists who contend that we are already deep into a climate crisis, which will lead to catastrophic sea level rise as a result of anthropogenic CO2-induced melting of earth's polar ice sheets, this finding of the two researchers would be expected to be embarrassing, because there is not the slightest hint of trouble, in this regard, with respect to the Antarctic Ice Sheet.

Who are the people in your denial neighborhood? : The Island of Doubt

McKitrick may have once been a genuine skeptic, but long after the hockey stick was revised, confirmed and validated a dozen times over, he's still at it, suggesting no real devotion to science as such.

Fourth is Richard Lindzen, the once-respected scientist who is now largely considered a crank.

The inevitable Anthony Watts makes an appearance. He has a popular blog, but doesn't quite get the whole science-as-process thing. As the FP entry points out, his efforts to find flaws in the U.S. temperature-recording network have failed, but he isn't letting a little thing called peer review get in his way,
