More On Climate and Energy Procrastination - NYTimes.com

[Harold Fethe] It’s the scope and complexity of the task, Mr Revkin, not the bad character of those living comfortable lives. Looking to Machiavelli for a way to put some martial arts move on the West, and flip it into dense urban housing, bicycle commuting, and radical decreases in energy consumption may allow the green elite to feel superior. But the worldwide greening of industrial processes is more like a gentle fog creeping in to cool things off a bit than a revolutionary tsunami of raised consciousness and voluntarily changed lifestyles. Sorry about that.

Climate models' historical accuracy no guarantee of future success

The authors find that of the 11 models analyzed, 8 have global average, Arctic, and tropical temperatures that fall within an acceptable range of historical temperature observations for the past century. However, most are unable to capture a warming period that occurred in the 1920s and 1930s. Three models fall outside of the researchers' limits for acceptable historical accuracy.

Climate campaigners @thinkprogress misuse photo...Revkin

Climate campaigners @thinkprogress misuse photo of starving Somali, says @keithkloor. I agree. Joe Romm’s defense of science misses the deep uncertainty about impact on rainfall in Somalia from warming, including warming Indian Ocean. Nameless icon of starvation? Fine, if your goals would actually avert such outcomes. Given the human, on-the-ground causes of famine in most dry areas, using such a photo to drive action on CO2 is way off base.

Where Did Global Warming Go? On the Pile of Debunked Media Scares

The New York Times will be the last media outlet in the world to admit that it was taken in by the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) delusion...The NYT used the issue to demonize Republicans and idolize Democrats for nearly two decades, and now wonders why Republicans believe it is a myth while only liberal Democrats believe it is a problem. It will forever deny that the science was uncertain and predictions faulty.

So the closest the NYT can come to admitting it was wrong is to publish stories wondering, “Where Did Global Warming Go?” as it did last week. To me, the article spells victory for The Heartland Institute and other groups that have been working hard to expose the fraud.
