The Climategate Whitewash | MND: Your Daily Dose of Counter-Theory
Since Climategate, it’s been clear that the UK Met Office and the UN Climate Czars would need to investigate themselves before anyone else did, and equally apparent that they would find little fault in themselves. Results of their “reviews” have the feel of partially digested left-overs from last night’s bongy bash.

The UK Met Office is back to square one – the idea that there is a “scientific consensus” backing Al Gore’s dire warnings based on a “study” that polls peer-reviewed literature; despite the fact that the only evidence supporting the view is now known to have been faked.
GLOBAL WARMING: TRUTH BEHIND THE SCIENCE: "Probabilistic" forecasting will and is failing more and more
In an age which I strongly believe is turning colder once again for the next 30 year period, the method of seeing warmer and warmer weather will always result in egg on the face on those promoting a warming world simply because the evidence is all around that earths temperature is not warming but quite the opposite and has been for roughly 10 years.
Al's Journal : Extreme Ice [Fraud]
NOVA has produced an extremely informative hour-long show called Extreme Ice. For example, the first section of the show, titled “In Extremis,” explores how:

"Around the world, glaciers and ice sheets have begun breaking apart and accelerating toward the oceans faster than ever imagined possible. With his Extreme Ice Survey, photographer James Balog is trying to alert the world to this unsettling fact."
Climate Common Sense: How to get carbon-free power in Australia - Ignore Reality!
Reality check - it has been overcast for the past week in Southeast Queensland and much of Eastern Australia and winds have been low so planned solar and wind power would be unavailable. Under the new Greens system the lights would be out for most the last week. There is always hydro-electric power of course, which need dams which are routinely opposed by the Green Left - sort of a Catch 22 situation.
This whole approach by the Greens is strictly Loony Tunes and is based on complete ignorance of the operative requirements of a power grid.
Hot Air » Blog Archive » Ehrlich’s lifetime of hot air
His body of work – at least, his work that impinges on politics and human events – has had three things in common.

He’s blamed Western Civilization – especially our economic freedom – for successive waves of self-caused, predicted catastrophes.

He’s prescription to deal with these catastrophes has been, in every case, for the individual to surrender his/her autonomy, and even future, to an all-wise, all-knowing, all-powerful central entity that’ll make all the hard, life and death choices for them.

And he’s been wrong on every count.
Food Under Fire | The Resilient Earth
So, can cutting down on meat save the planet from global warming and ease world hunger? Are there bug burgers or cricket casserole in our future? Here in the US it is highly doubtful that even the government-knows-best Obama administration will try to force all Americans to become vegetarians, even gradually.
The Reference Frame: A U.S. president describes climate change: a puzzle
I remember that when I was a small boy, say sixty years ago, snows were frequent and deep in every winter, to my knee very often, to my waist sometimes, and that they covered the earth long. And I remember while yet young to have heard from very old men that in their youth the winters had been still colder, with deeper and longer snows. In the year '72, thirty-seven years ago, we had a snow two feet deep in the Champain parts of this state, and three feet in the counties next below the mountains...
