Al Gore Introduces The “Droughtflood” | Real Science
During the past year we learned about hotcold, slowfast and now Nobel Laureate Al Gore introduces the droughtflood.

2007 AL GORE: Australia, they have what some of them are calling a 1,000 year drought now.
...
2010 AL GORE: the Nobel laureate cited devastating floods in Australia and Pakistan and last year’s drought in Russia as evidence that unchecked global warming threatened famine, poverty and wide-scale destruction.

Damian is right of course, but I do wonder if he is going to raise the subject of George Monbiot too, the great man having opined thusly?
...every time someone dies as a result of floods in Bangladesh, an airline executive should be dragged out of his office and drowned.
THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Climate Models Differ on CO2 Warming Effect by over 32°F
A paper published today in the journal Climate of the Past illustrates the magnitude of confusion in climate science regarding the 'settled' 'basic physics' of the CO2 'greenhouse effect.' The climate model results of this paper are compared to 2 other recent peer-reviewed papers and show that the 3 climate models differ by over 32 degrees F (18.3°C) in explaining the 'greenhouse warming' effect of CO2 during the period of time when the entire Earth was covered by ice (the "snowball Earth").
