Hiding The Decline In Texas | Real Science

The raw USHCN data from Texas shows a decline of more than half a degree since 1930.

...Fortunately, NCDC was able to stop this unpleasant cooling trend by simply altering the data.

Raising Arizona | Real Science

The average of all measured USHCN temperature data in Arizona shows a long term cooling trend, with recent years being among the coolest on record.

...A cooling trend just didn’t fit the story line of permanent southwest heat and drought, so our government took the liberty of rewriting Arizona’s history.

The Government-Climate Complex | Climate Etc.

Since climate is intrinsically important, this situation reflects deeply on the present practice of science generally, and on its interaction with government policy agendas in many other areas. Grant money flows to consensus research in a closed loop system, as Dr. Paltridge pointed out in his article “Science held hostage in climate debate” recently posted on Climate Etc. The scarier the finding, the more money flows. That incentive reinforces the closed loop. There becomes less to gain, and more to lose, by scientifically challenging the consensus even though portions of it are not backed by replicated observations.

This is deeply concerning. It is an alternative form of what President Eisenhower warned about in his last speech before leaving office. Instead of a military-industrial complex, we have a UN sponsored, agenda rich government-climate research complex seeking to reorder the world.

GE Solar Delay Shows Timing Will Never Be Good | National Legal and Policy Center

It was timing with Solyndra. It was timing with Abound Solar. It was timing with BP Solar. It was timing with Google. It is timing with First Solar. All had the benefit of massive infusions of public and private cash, yet in none of their situations could any of them overcome the “timing” – all which appeared to be bad.

Climate Change Is a Factor in the Colorado Wildfires, But Population and Policies Play a Role As Well | Ecocentric | TIME.com

A June study predicted that wildfires will become more common in temperate zones—including much of the American West—as the climate warms, even as they become less common in the tropics. Wildfire is one more threats we’ll have to grapple with as the planet gets hotter, but it’s at least as important to grapple with the risks on the ground, including increased population and property in the red zone. Especially since the latter will be easier to deal with than the former.
