Keith Kloor's thinking on climate change : Deltoid

Keith Kloor says that this "concisely expressed" his thinking on climate change:

I categorise myself as somebody who recognises that additional CO2 in the atmosphere as a result of man's activities (fossil fuel burning and land use change) will have an effect on the balance of radiation coming into and leaving our atmosphere.

I do not have a confirmed view as to exactly what the impact of the CO2 will have (feedbacks etc being uncertain) but I know that it must have an effect - that's physics.

Monckton would not disagree with any of this.

Brrr Sydney, it's warmer in Melbourne

"At the moment, it's looking like it's going to be at least the coolest December since 1960," Ms Pepler said, adding that Sydney's historical average for December was 25.2 degrees.

...Forecasters from Weatherzone said it was possible Sydney could finish the month close to the record low average of 22.5 degrees, which was set in 1924.

Blog: DOE must release climate data

Imagine if the NIH sponsored research at Yale Medical School, and then the federal agency allowed the professors to decide that the clinical data was proprietary, withheld from the public indefinitely on behalf of the university and its pharmaceutical interests.  Further, the pharmaceutical interests claimed that the withheld data REQUIRED world governments to adopt its costly prescriptions for world health - saying "trust us, you just have to take our word for it". The liberal outcry would be enormous.  Yet substitute DOE for NIH, University of East Anglia for Yale, climate for clinical, and global warming alarmists' for pharmaceutical -- that is exactly the situation reported here.

Since this situation is favored by liberals, the DOE expects the MSM to cover for them.  The Department's strategy as reported by FOX News is to  "stonewall" until the controversy dies down.  We cannot let this happen.
