Bloggers' Hall of Amnesia
[Warmist Lewandowsky, who evidently remembers the details of every spam email that he's received over the last two years] I predict that attention will now focus on some of the other accusations and theories.
VPR News: When Heat Kills: Global Warming As Public Health Threat
The current poster child for global warming is a polar bear, sitting on a melting iceberg. Some health officials argue the symbol should, instead, be a child.   [Why would a child sit on a melting iceberg?  How would a picture of a child not freezing to death convince me not to eat a hamburger?]

That's because emerging science shows that people respond more favorably to warnings about climate change when it's portrayed as a health issue, rather than an environmental problem.
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, and Yukon cooling too « sunshine hours
In addition to BC cooling over the last 15 years, so are the following Canadian Provinces and Territories.

Alberta ( -0.366C / decade), Saskatchewan (-0.411C/ Decade) , Manitoba (-0.231C / Decade) , Northwest Territories (-0.28C/ Decade), Yukon (-0.411C)/ Decade
The Third ‘Skeptic’ « Climate Audit
Hanich’s justification for turning off the duplicate-IP function at kwiksurveys is to-say-the-least strained. My impression is that most skeptics operate from their own computers; missing a few skeptics who share a computer is a pretty small price. And why would he be trying to accommodate respondents from their own laboratory? What business do they have filling out the survey in the first place? I wonder how many responses came from his own university? And how many of the fake responses?

So Lewandowsky went out of his way to accommodate multiple respondents from the same IP address by turning off this option at kwiksurveys. The sentence from the article needs to be re-read very carefully now that we know this – it needs to be parsed word-for-word as though it was written by Gavin Schmidt.
