Huge Increase In Snow Cover Over The Last 10 Years | Real Science

Bare ground is a thing of the past.

Hansen’s Scam Science Dying A Rapid Death | Real Science

Last year Hansen tried to blame his useless predictions on solar minimum and La Nina. This year we are at solar max, and La Nina is in its death throes. There is no place left to hide. Rising CO2 has almost no impact on temperature.

Time to put this scam to bed.

Dumb And Dumberer – Stealing Your Money | Real Science

Targeting CO2 emissions is dumb. Targeting CH4 is dumber. Methane makes up barely one part per million in the atmosphere, and has almost no effect on the radiative balance of the atmosphere. Water vapour has thousands of times more effect than methane.

Why not sue the oceans to make them stop evaporating?

Extreme Cold and Deadly European Winter Weather in 2011/12

Cattiaux et al. further analyzed the severity of the winter 2009/10 over Europe and concluded that winter 2010, was comparable to the cold winter of 1963, adding their caveat that "future winters in Europe may NOT be as cold as 2009/10 winter, due to the warming of the climate (due to anthropogenic warming!)"

In contrast, the winter 2011/12 over Europe appears to be much colder and deadlier than the winter of 2009/10 thus far. It remains to be analyzed in detail to assess if this year's winter over Europe may turn out to be colder and more severe than the winter of 2009/10. But, as the Sun approaches a projected 'grand minima' in the next few years, winters over Europe may indeed become colder and longer and not warmer, as suggested by Cattiaux et al. in response to supposed CO2-induced global warming. Only time will tell which thesis is right.
