Tough Times For Arctic Alarmists | Real Science
We have been hearing lots of rumours of record low ice in 2011, but alarmists long sought Arctic Armageddon is falling apart very rapidly. The green area (2011 ice not present in 2007) is expanding rapidly and the red area (2007 ice not present in 2011) is shrinking rapidly. Weather forecasts for the Arctic look cold for the indefinite future, so it is likely to just get worse. The ice edge hasn’t been moving for several days.
C3: Major IPCC Climate Scientist Publishes Paper Listing Significant Failures of Climate Models
Kevin Trenberth, like so many of his IPCC AGW-comrades recently, is finally admitting there exists many shortcomings and failures in the global warming "consensus" science. In Trenberth's case, he body slams the climate models, which all the alarmist catastrophic predictions are based on.

Specifically, Trenberth takes issue with the climate models' inadequacies in regards to precipitation.
Tipping points and beliefs – the 10% solution | Watts Up With That?
Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that when just 10 percent of the population holds an unshakable belief, their belief will always be adopted by the majority of the society.
Tree ring widths more affected by sheep than temperature | Watts Up With That?
Nibbling by herbivores can have a greater impact on the width of tree rings than climate, new research has found.

Did you miss this line by the study's lead author in the press release on sheep and tree rings?

"This study does not mean that using tree rings to infer past climate is flawed as we can still see the effect of temperatures on the rings, and in lowland regions tree rings are less likely to have been affected by herbivores because they can grow out of reach faster."
