On Holland and Bruyère (2013) “Recent Intense Hurricane Response to Global Climate Change” | Watts Up With That?
Holland and Bruyère (2013) is yet another peer-reviewed study that relies on climate models as if the models represent reality, when climate models clearly do not. Eventually, the climate science community will have to come to terms with this—possibly not in my lifetime at the rate they’re going.

Slingo now tells us cold springs are also due to climate change.
WaPo Columnist: Government’s bad bet on Fisker | JunkScience.com
“Government can efficiently affect energy usage through fuel taxes and basic research. When it intervenes on behalf of specific technologies and specific companies, however, bad things happen — resource misallocation, windfall-seeking, even, sometimes, corruption. The Fisker debacle proves once again that, in the immortal words of former White House economist Larry Summers, ‘government is a crappy VC’.”

It is important to realize that economic models show that the overall impact of a moderate warming (1-2°C) will be beneficial whereas higher temperatures expected towards the end of the century will have a negative net impact. Thus, global warming is a net benefit now and will likely stay so till about 2070, after which it will turn into a net cost.
1.  If warming of 2 deg. C is a net benefit, why are we also told that warming of 2 deg. C might kill us all?
2.  How sure are we that the Earth will be 2 deg. C warmer in 2070?
