Shell pulls out of CO2 injection project | The Martinez News-Gazette

Shell has abandoned plans to truck CO2 into the Montezuma Hills near Rio Vista, for which it had joined with the West Coast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (WESTCARB). The intent was to demonstrate the viability of pumping excess CO2 emissions more than two miles under ground.

According to Shell spokesperson Barbara Kornylo, Shell has decided to pull out of the project because the company has become aware of two other options to mitigate CO2 emissions. As for the other two options, “I can’t say what they are right now,” Kornlyo stated.

The first 10 (Set 1) of Tony’s target stations, which at this point I should say seemed to be a randomly chosen set, were:

* Brazil – Curitiba (1885 to 2009) Cooling 1955 to 2009
* Canada – Edmonton (1881-2009) Cooling from 1886 to 2009
* Chile – Puerto Montt (1951-2009) Cooling from 1955
* China – Jiuquan (1934-2009) Cooling all years
* Russia – Kandalaska (1913-2009) Cooling 1933-2009
* Iceland – Haell (1931-2009) Cooling all years
* India – Amritsar (1948-2009) Cooling all years
* Morocco – Casablanca (1925-2009) Cooling all years

Al Fin: The Impending Cult of the Great Green Global Suicide

The fantasies of leftists have taken on macabre and disturbing overtones as of late. Mr. Lee's suicide by SWAT is but one of the unsettling directions such fantasies can turn. Expect more occurrences of leftist inspired eco-terrorism in the not-so-distant future.

Climate CO2 Sensitivity Overestimated | The Resilient Earth

More plainly put, making simplifying assumptions about nature has led to an over estimation of carbon dioxide's impact on temperature. As experienced modelers will tell you, simplifying assumptions can be the death of any simulation. Here is more proof that the climate models used by the IPCC and other climate researchers don't have a chance in hell of getting future climate change correct. The closer science looks at the real world processes involved in climate regulation the more absurd the IPCC's computer driven fairy tale appears. Instead of blithely modeling climate based on hunches and suppositions, climate scientists would be better off abandoning their ivory towers and actually measuring what happens in the real world.
