THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Water vapor, not CO2, controls climate and acts as a negative feedback

Physicist Daniel Sweger refutes the catastrophic AGW hypothesis in his paper The Climate Engine, showing that CO2 has a negligible effect upon climate and that water vapor acts as a negative feedback to global warming. Dr. Sweger uses data from 3 locales to show an inverse relationship between humidity and temperature. He notes, "In the positive feedback mechanism as proposed by the global warming proponents this behavior would be reversed. Then the data would show a positive relationship between moisture content and temperature. But it does not. As suggested before, data is the language of science, not mathematical models."

- Bishop Hill blog - When do windfarms work?

It is interesting to wonder if building a windfarm, in the full knowledge that it will kill bats, counts as "deliberate". No doubt there are legal precedents here. If it does then no doubt windfarms across the UK will be closing down at dusk, at least during the warmer months of the year.

Oh well, at least solar power stations keep working at night.

“The snow in the Alps hasn’t been this good since 1984,” said Laurent Reynaud, director of Domaines Skiables de France, “…some stations have six to eight metres on the ground.”

NOAA SWPC updates their solar cycle graphs – 3rd straight month of dropping sunspot numbers | Watts Up With That?

What we see are three months of dropping sunspot numbers when they should be on the rise. While some variability is normal, compare this drop to the previous cycle.
