Rick Santorum, who surged at the last minute to give Mitt Romney a real run for his money in Tuesday's Iowa caucuses, is less green than his rival, and decidedly nuttier when it comes to climate change...
Ron Paul finished a strong third in Iowa, but there's no hope for the environment in that showing. Paul is just about as wacky on climate change as Santorum.
New Antarctica evidence conclusively refutes IPCC global warming scientists' speculation that modern temperatures are "unprecedented" and "accelerating" higher
THE GREENS - A Warning from History (Volume One) | martindurkin.com
What are we to make of the morose nostalgia of the greens? Why do today’s posh rebels yearn for the world as it was before capitalism? What was it about the Middle Ages that appeals to them so much?
I’m not sure that there exist any strong evidence that the models are able to accurately predict either changes in large scale ocean and atmospheric circulation patterns, or changes in statistics of these patterns. The variations of the global temperature data during the past 10-15 years as compared to the predicted change is one example of a non-accurate forecast of temperature. I have seen little evidence that large scale circulation patterns such as ENSO, PDO, etc can be predicted over short time periods, let alone 50-100 year periods. I also think there are serious questions as to the accuracy of feed back processes and errors here could cause major errors in long term predictions. Finally, the ability to predict precipitation changes, even over short time periods, is very questionable. So, while overall it is clear that the introduction of “greenhouse gases” into the atmosphere must result in a warming of the troposphere, I can make that prediction without a model. The question as to how much warming will result, and how this will effect overall circulation patterns, precipitation, etc. are questions that I believe have not, to date, been answered with any confidence.
