Climategate now in a Law and Order episode « Watts Up With That?
I’m sitting in my study and Law and Order came on on NBC 10PM PDT. They have a fictional crime episode regarding a climate scientist where stolen emails are mentioned in the first ten minutes, “climate deniers” are named, and it looks like they are interviewing a fictional GISS scientist in NYT.

Cap and Trade shenanigans with the word “scam” are mentioned too.
...
The preview doesn’t show the Climategate portion, apparently it starts out with a skeptic being poisoned at a conference breakfast.
A Look at the Australian Climate Network: More Dodgy Post Offices
The two "Dodgy Post Offices" posts detail eleven stations (out of a total of 103 RCS stations) that have, shall we say, less than optimal placement. On rudimentary examination of the "official" BoM photographs and Google Earth, none of them appears to meet CRN1 specifications. And yet the BoM and CSIRO feel comfortable in making the assertion that "all of Australia has experienced warming over the past 50 years". Extraordinary.
C3: Will Climate Models Continue High Degree of Prediction Failure? It's An Absolute 'Yes' Because of Ocean Oscillations
Whether it's El Nino, the ENSO, the PDO, the NAO, or whatever, the climate models don't do ocean oscillations. They can't predict when they will happen or their intensity/severity, which makes predicting climate conditions just about impossible.
[Maybe we'll get the entire 4C on the last day of the century?]: - Bishop Hill blog - Sir John Lawton on AGW
When you look at the report, it's clear that by "above the worse [sic] case scenario" he is referring to carbon dioxide emissions. However it's an interesting position to state that we are going to hit 4 degrees of warming by 2100. If we equate that to 4C per century, then it's fairly clear that the models are far, far out in falsification territory. As Lucia is fond of pointing out, they are meandering around the brink of being falsified at 2C/century.
