How I learned to stop smoking and love Global Warming | Watts Up With That?

My research demonstrated that humans had reacted to complex climate variation from Lake Baikal to Greenland over the past 100,000 years, climate variations that occurred in the complete absence of human greenhouse gas emissions. I see no reason to accept the automatic assumption that observed rising CO2 levels are solely the result of human emissions, or that the observed increase is significant with respect to the geological record of CO2 and temperature fluctuations.

Arctic Ice Now A Negative Feeedback | Real Science

After telling us for years that Arctic ice loss is a positive feedback, climate scientists now claim it to be a negative feedback.

Were you to list the factors that distinguish civilisation from barbarism, this would come close to the top: that the elderly are not left to die of cold. By this measure the UK is a cruel land. Although we usually have one of the smallest differences between winter and summer temperatures at these latitudes, we have one of the highest levels of excess winter deaths. Roughly twice as many people, per capita, die here than in Scandinavia. Even Siberia has lower levels than we do. Between 25,000 and 30,000 people a year are hastened to the grave by the cold here – this winter it could be much worse.

"Back in the Day, they didn't cancel the bivouac at Valley Forge or the War for Independence over a few flakes of snow or a strong breeze," writes commenter Eephus on Philadelphia Daily News. "Washington crossed the Delaware in worse weather than this. What a nation of quiche eaters we've become"

Any fuel will do for the global warming fire - JSOnline

South Carolina gets Christmas snow, Atlanta’s iced up, New Jersey gets 19 inches, snowdrifts stall the subway in New York, New Jersey is now up to not 19 but 31 inches, people are fatally shivering in Mumbai and freezing to death in Europe, and all of America’s East Coast is paralyzed and stuck inside.

Where they can read a weather forecaster, Judah Cohen, explain comfortingly in The Times (the New York one, don’t you know?) that this is all a sign of global warming. No, really. See, there’s more snow in Siberia, so it gets colder, which is all part of the plan . . .
