Climate change denier misleads the public - Forum
As a faculty member at the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences I've been involved in climate science for more than 10 years. I've been participating at many scientific conferences, such as the recent meeting in Portland on ocean sciences.

Among the thousands of scientists assembled, there were none that questioned the scientific consensus of climate change as published in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Reports.

I have made my forecast, that by 2030 we will return to where we were at the end of the last cold PDO, in the 70's. No one on the AGW side of the issue ever had defined the optimum temp or co2 levels that are ideal for the planet. At the very least I am willing to make a forecast based on what I know, not on what I dont know.
A Look at the Australian Climate Network: Where is the Quality Assurance?
In their Climate brochure, the CSIRO+BoM make the assertion that "since 1960 the mean temperature in Australia has increased by about 0.7°C". Over a 50 year period, this represents about 0.014°C per year, and for this conclusion to be drawn, some exceedingly accurate record keeping would clearly be required. Of the stations which have been examined so far, it is hard to see how either of these assertions (namely, a quality assurance process or the temperature increase) can be supported.

IceBase: the stove in the scientists' tent broke last night freezing all their copepod collections. Need then to catch more of them today.
