Fred Pearce: Climate migration is a solution, not desperation | JunkScience.com
It is a potent image: desperate refugees fleeing environmental apocalypse, crossing boundaries to save their very lives. But this notion is flawed, said geographer David Thomas of the University of Oxford at the Planet Under Pressure meeting in London last week. Rather than seeing environmental migration as bad, we need to see it as part of the solution to environmental change.

Warmist Michelle Obama: "I'm a lawyer because I was bad at [science and math]" | Psychology Today
"I know for me, I'm a lawyer because I was bad at [science and math]. (Laughter.) All lawyers in the room, you know it's true. We can't add and subtract, so we argue. (Laughter.)"
The attack on Lindzen by Warmists
Prof. Lindzen is well able to defend himself but I would like to note just one thing that throws all the Warmist criticisms into a cocked hat: The effect of clouds. It is undoubted that cloudiness correlates with warming but does that cause warming to accumulate or do clouds shelter the earth and hence lead to subsequent cooling? Do clouds provide a positive or a negative feedback? And answering that is absolutely crucial. Because it is only a postulated accumulation of warming from clouds that allows Warmists to claim that future warming will deviate from its present trivial trend.
So what evidence do the Warmists put forward for their unlikely view that clouds do not shelter the earth from warming? All they offer -- wait for it -- is "models" again. They have no facts, just an unlikely opinion. How well justified are their other niggles at Lindzen just does not matter in the light of that central failure.
