50 Blogs About Global Warming | Environmental Science Degrees
Both sides present compelling points, as evidenced by the 50 blogs listed below.
The Reference Frame: Global climate disruption: Holdren orders new terminology
We will see the fate of this new order. My guess is that Johnny Desperate, as Anthony Watts called him, will fail. When he does, he may try an even better term: a "lethal man-made decay of the Universe". ;-)
- Bishop Hill blog - Beddington: "We need error bars!"
This appears to be an admission that we don't as yet have error bars on "the knowledge we have". An important statement, I would say.
Climate Observations: The Declines In Global Temperatures From El Niño To La Niña
It’s quite obvious that 2010 global temperature anomalies are near to record levels. And if we refer to Figure 11, for the years included in this post, we can see that the January 2010 NINO3.4 SST anomalies were third highest since 1979; that is, the strength of the 2009/10 El Niño was a distant third compared to the 1982/83 and 1997/98 El Niño events. Some might take the elevated 2010 global anomalies as proof of the continued impact of anthropogenic global warming.

In reality, much of this rise in global temperature is, of course, caused by the fact that the East Indian and West Pacific Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies can rise in response to El Niño AND La Niña events and the fact that these warmings can be cumulative when El Niño and La Niña events occur in sequence.
