Stand-off as nations retreat to old climate change lines | South China Morning Post
China, the world's top emitter, has not reported its annual output of greenhouse gases since 1994.

The exclusive focus on developed country action was the central reason why the US Senate did not ratify Kyoto.

"Unseasonably cold air is prevalent throughout the country, coming at a delicate time for wheat, which is in its growing stage. This can cause difficulties, but it shouldn't be anything catastrophic," De Benedictis said.

“The climate change brainwash needs to end!” says Dr. Klaus L.E. Kaiser. “If you really want to help subsistence fishermen families in the Bay of Bengal, then don’t brainwash them into believing that their diminished fish catches are due to climate change.”
THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Evidence solar radiation dominates climate change, not greenhouse gases
A poster presentation from Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science - ETH Zurich finds that "Diurnal temperature range, solar radiation and sunshine duration are closely correlated on decadal timescales." The authors also conclude, "solar radiation has experienced not only a brightening towards the end of the 20th century, but also an earlier period of brightening in the first half of the last century." Figure 2 from the poster shows a dimming of solar radiation at the surface of the Earth during the 70's ice age scare from 1970 to ~1987, and a subsequent brightening of solar radiation by almost 5 W/m2 from ~1987 to the end of the record in 2005. The data shows the change in solar radiation corresponds to an increase in diurnal temperature range anomalies by almost 0.5C.
Popular Technology.net: Skeptical Science: Too Inaccurate for Joe Romm
In March of 2012, the climate alarmist website Skeptical Science had their forums "hacked" and the contents posted online. In these it was revealed that Skeptical Science was found to be even too inaccurate for fellow alarmist Joe Romm of Climate Progress
