The CLIMATE SCEPTICS Blog: New Paper: Tropical Cyclone activity unrelated to Warmer Temperatures

...it would appear that the long-held climate-alarmist contention that global warming increases the frequency and intensity of tropical storms is simply not true.

2011 Record Arctic Ice Melt? Not Even Close!

When it’s the 2nd coldest year of this century, sea levels are dropping and you’re a warmist desperate for headlines, what do you do? You resort to using outlier and obscure data sources – like the warmist University of Bremen – and claim Arctic ice is “dramatically shrinking” and has reached “a record low” (since satellite measurement began 30 years ago).

Too bad all other datasets show the opposite is true. Using the other well-known sources, the NOAA IMS, NSIDC, JAXA, NORSEX, DMI, or AMSR-E, 2011 was not even close to 2007.

By most accounts, 2011 fell about 300,000 sq km short of 2007. That’s more than 8000 Manhattans.

The CLIMATE SCEPTICS Blog: Deniers and Pushers - stop denying and push off.

Who are the pushers? The pushers are those people - scientists, politicians, journalists and bankers - who are for various reasons pushing and continue to push the falsified hypothesis that man made carbon dioxide emissions are causing runaway global warming.

Who are the deniers? Well, although they say that the realists and sceptics are the deniers, these same pushers - scientists, politicians, journalists and bankers - are in fact the deniers.

The CLIMATE SCEPTICS Blog: 1.6 million green jobs created means over 3.5 million normal jobs destroyed

May I explain Julia Gillard's Carbon tax.

Our PM claims 1.6 million green jobs will be created by it by 2020.

If so, then according to the Spanish and UK experience (where 2.2 and 3.7 normal jobs respectively were destroyed per each green job created), the figures of 3.5 million and 5.9 million jobs would evaporate via the new green economy.
