China Rejects Paying EU ETS Carbon Emissions Surcharge | Climate Etc.

JC comment: James Stafford, who runs the website oilprice.com  has contacted me about cross posting some of my posts at his site, and also about writing a guest post for Climate Etc.  This post is a result of this interaction.  Note, I am looking around for good energy blogs.  Joe Romm used to be my go-to site, but I haven’t found that site useful since 2009 (Romm seems to have gone off the rails in the wake of climategate).

Climate Common Sense: Surprise! Kiwi tide data contradicts wild IPCC sea level claims.

Fundamental to the IPCC scary scenarios is that huge sea level rises are going to swamp coastal areas around the world. However research in New Zealand shows sea level changing at 1.7 mm per year as it has done for 2 centuries with no acceleration as claimed by the climate doomsters. As usual the IPCC is found out when their predictions are compared to real world data. Similar findings have been made in Australia and the US.

Nature and the Inundation Legend « Climate Audit

In conclusion, the role of both Nature and Nature reporter Olive Heffernan is disquieting. Nature suppressed Jones’ candid admission that he simply didn’t see why he should provide data to people that wanted to criticize him and substituted a fabricated explanation more suitable to a hero of the revolution. Had Nature placed Jones’ actual answers on the record, the evolution of events might have been different. In this episode, Nature news reporting unfortunately seems more concerned about hagiography of its principal constituency (institutional scientists) than with accurate reporting.
