Report: Oceans' deteriorating health nearing 'irreversible'
"It's a lot worse than the public thinks," said Nate Mantua, an associate research professor at the University of Washington's Climate Impacts Group.

Mantua, who's read the report, said it was clear what was causing the oceans' problems: greenhouse gases. "It is not a mystery," he said.
C3: More Democrat Lies About Global Warming: Actual Temperature Data Refutes Their Bogus Claims
Democrats and the Obama administration will attempt just about every lie and any misrepresentation in efforts to pass some form of the global warming, cap and trade, energy legislation. As long as the mainstream media refuses to do any fact checking, the global warming lies will continue.

A recent example of the propensity to mislead and lie is the Democrat's web site pushing the Waxman-Markey cap and trade legislation.
The Reference Frame: How likely it is for 2010 to be warmer than 1998
Whether the odds are 6-to-1 or 17-to-1, you should better assume that 2010 will be cooler but you don't want to bet your life on it. ;-)
The Unskeptical Guide to the Skeptics Handbook « JoNova
It’s taken 21 months, four professors, and three associate/assistant professors, and THIS is the best they could come up with? It lists no author yet wears the logo of the University of Western Australia (UWA), which will embarrass that university no end as word spreads of the intellectual weakness and foggy confusion of their “Guide“.

Did UWA commission this piece of inept, innumerate science and clumsy reasoning?
Climate Common Sense: Solar Aircraft- An Expensive Boy's Toy!
Although a pretty toy the Solar Impulse is basically a powered glider with the lawn-mower size engine usually used replaced by a bank of solar panels and electric motor. This type of design has as much commercial application as a chocolate tea-pot but will have greenies all over the world wetting themselves at the prospect of solar powered flight. Putting it in perspective a solar panel can develop up to a maximum of 100 watts per square meter - a commercial 747 uses 140 million watts in normal flight .A solar panel area of 1Km by 1.4 Km would develop that power at midday with the sun directly over-head which would present a few minor aircraft design problems that even the NYT should be able to understand!
