American Thinker: The Global Warming Court Battle

[Fred Singer] Some final thoughts: Being charitable, I will assume that Mann made honest statistical and other errors in his 1998 and 1999 papers. But after these errors were published widely by M&M, Mann's behavior has been unethical to say the least. He has not replied to the critiques, nor even referenced them. He has just ignored them and tried to muddle the situation. (The National Academy report did the same.)

Is Mann guilty of fraud? I don't know; much depends on what Cuccinelli uncovers. But I am of the opinion that Mann should formally withdraw his flawed papers and no longer refer to them in his bibliography or in grant applications without at least a footnote. Formal withdrawal could create a storm, however, since the 2001 IPCC report built its case for man-made global warming on the validity of the hockey stick. There may be interesting times ahead.

The American people oppose government intervention into the climate, especially if that intervention is for the purpose of burdening us with massive new taxes and also for the purpose of applying more rules, regulations, and red tape to our normal business activities.

Obama has awakened the American people. The people are now restoring our country to sanity and logic.

Graciela Chichilnisky's innovation: carbon capturing | Environment | The Observer

There are several reasons why Graciela Chichilnisky can claim to be an innovator. She was the architect of the Kyoto Protocol's carbon market, the lead author on the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that won a Nobel Prize, and reputedly even created the term "sustainable development".

Estimating the Pace of Sea-Level Rise - NYTimes.com

As I report in Sunday’s Times, many climate scientists are frustrated by the lack of good information about the status of the world’s land ice. Yet they have nonetheless come to an informal consensus about the extent to which the sea may rise in the course of this century: roughly three feet.

NOAA Global Sea Level Rise Far Below IPCC Estimates | Real Science

NOAA has 159 global sea level monitoring stations used to calculate trends. The graph above plots all of them, with the pink region showing the IPCC projected range of 19-59 mm/century.

The average of all stations is 6 cm/century, which is less than one third of the IPCC minimum, and 69% of their stations are below the minimum forecast. 26% of the stations are showing sea level decline.

As Glaciers Melt, Scientists Seek New Data on Rising Seas - NYTimes.com

A few days after the helicopter trip, an old Greenlandic freighter nudged its way gingerly up Sermilik Fjord, which was so choked with ice that the boat had to stop well short of its goal.
