The Russian Meteor and Global Warming

http://rogerpielkejr.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-russian-meteor-and-global-warming.html
Overall, there appears to be an overwhelming consensus that the meteor strike was associated with climate change. A survey conducted by the Yale University Climate Change Communication project found that 97% of climate scientists and 4 out of 5 dentists agreed that the Russian meteor strike is consistent with climate change.

Climate Vatican Rules That These Scrolls Must Be Destroyed! | Real Science

Sandy has become a deeply important religious icon for the climate faithful, and it is very important that they not be exposed to information about the 1821 hurricane. Avert your eyes now!

In 1821, stunned colonial New Yorkers recorded sea levels rising as fast as 13 feet in a single hour at the Battery. The East River and Hudson Rivers merged over Lower Manhattan all the way to Canal Street. According to Coch, the fact that the 1821 storm struck at low tide “is the only thing that saved the city.”

Supply, demand, and activism: What should the climate movement do next?

The wider public, as I’ve said before, is in favor of more good things and fewer bad things. To them, more energy — of any kind — sounds good. Cutting off a source of energy sounds bad. Given the choice between dirtier energy and cleaner energy, they’ll choose cleaner. But they will rarely choose higher costs or reduced energy supply.

That's why Gallup found that majorities in both parties favor approving Keystone XL. To the public it means more energy, from a nice country.

Devastated Arctic Almost Identical To Twenty Years Ago | Real Science

Graph shows changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide seem to follow temperature changes (not the other way around)

Reader DB writes:

I came across a graph of land/sea temperature changes and atmospheric CO2 changes for the past 5 decades (below) , which appears to be devastating to the CO2-centric theory of warming. Am I reading it wrong?

Pachauri thinks it'll take another 13-23 more years--in addition to the past 17--to determine whether their crumbling catastrophic AGW theory is a bomb.

But I think all he needs to do is look back at their own datasets over the past 54 years (datasets the IPCC supposedly rely upon for their Assessment Reports) of land/sea temperature changes and atmospheric CO2 changes, and he should be able to see what I am seeing--which phenomenon occurs first--changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide seem to follow temperature changes (not the other way around). Even adding in the newest (adjusted) HadCRUT4 dataset still doesn't help them...

The doc is out: Why isn’t ‘Chasing Ice’ up for an Academy award? | Grist

But its viscerally emotional vistas and Manhattan-sized collapses were passed over by the Academy this year in favor of five other films, none of which have to do with what Chasing Ice director Jeff Orlowski told me was “the most important issue we’re ever going to have to deal with as a civilization.”

Warmist Auden Schendler, on why he crossed a "heavily trafficked four-lane road in defiance of the stoplight" during a global warming protest with his kids: "My children would be no safer in a world warmed by 4 degrees C than out on the most dangerous streets"

Welcome to the Revolution … I Think | ThinkProgress

Almost at the park where the rally was to be held, the crowd surged across a heavily trafficked four-lane road in defiance of the stoplight. In the streets the Marxists and the anarchists were exhorting people to ignore the lights. The traffic was honking now out of outrage, not support. A woman fell down and several people hauled her back up. “Now,” I thought, not particularly happily, “maybe something is happening.” I held my children well back on the curb and waited for the light.
...
And yet, waiting awkwardly at a stoplight in the middle of a revolution, we were no better off. My children would be no safer in a world warmed by 4 degrees C than out on the most dangerous streets. This corner was a place of false refuge. On my wife’s urging, we surged into the road, with the crowd, in defiance of the light.

Pachauri would not admit over a decade without warming when CFACT asked him in Mexico, but admits it now

In 2010, IPCC chief Rachendra Pachauri refused to acknowledge that global temperatures had not risen for over a decade when CFACT’s Josh Nadal interviewed him at the UN’s COP 16 in Cancun, Mexico.

This week Pachauri caved and conceded 17 years without warming at a speech at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia.

Pachauri is the IPCC’s highest climate official, but is not, by the way, a climate scientist. Rather (as Lord Monckton loves to point out), he is a railroad engineer. Remember this the next time you encounter a warming activist (who is also not a climate scientist) who insists that you may not evaluate global warming policy because you are not a climate scientist. Global warming advocacy is a world of double standards and double speak.

Environmentalism and NIMBYism: a changed equation | Carbon Counter

NIMBYism then is no longer something that environmentalists can rely on. If you wish to decarbonise the UK without nuclear power then you are going to have to cover a lot of the UK in wind farms, and I mean a lot. That will involve putting a lot of turbines in a lot of back yards. It also involves a deep challenge to the belief that wilderness should be kept pristine. The basic arithmetic of how much power you can generate from wind farms, combined with how much energy we use in the UK make it clear that we are looking at the large scale industrialisation of the natural world. If you reject nuclear power, then this is something you must accept and argue for.

Yes! We Should Defund The U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change - Forbes

It seems that along with 17 years of flat global temperatures there is some evidence that we are witnessing some cooling on global warming hype and hysteria in Washington as well. Following President Obama’s State of the Union pledge to double down on his frenetic “green” war to prevent climate change, U.S. Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO) has introduced legislation to discontinue any more taxpayer green from being used to advance the U.N.’s economy-ravaging agendas. The proposed bill would prohibit future U.S. funding for the alarmist Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and also for the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), a scam devoted to redistributing American wealth in penance for our unfair capitalist free market prosperity.

Congressman Luetkemeyer strongly objects to the UNFCC’s use of IPCC’s suggestions and faulty data to implement a job-killing agenda here in America.

U.S. has a growth industry in manufactured hysteria | George Will | National Post

Remember when “a major cooling of the climate” was “widely considered inevitable” (New York Times, May 21, 1975) with “extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciation” (Science magazine, Dec. 10, 1976) which must “stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery” (International Wildlife, July 1975)? Remember reports that “the world’s climatologists are agreed” that we must “prepare for the next ice age” (Science Digest, February 1973)? Armadillos were leaving Nebraska, heading south, and heat-loving snails were scampering southward from European forests (Christian Science Monitor, Aug. 27, 1974). Newsweek (April 28, 1975) said meteorologists were “almost unanimous” that cooling would “reduce agricultural productivity.”

Today, while Obama prepares a governmental power grab to combat global warming, sensible Americans, tuckered out with apocalypse fatigue, are yawning through the catastrophe du jour, the sequester. They say: Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the hamsters of sequestration.

Cheaper energy is more important than going green | Express Comment | Comment | Daily Express

Our energy policy is no longer dictated by the need to keep supply plentiful and cheap which for decades was the basis of all planning. Today energy policy is framed with only one factor in mind: satisfying the green lobby.
It is, to be blunt, mad. Next month we are forcing 10 per cent of our energy production plants to close in order to meet environmental targets.
They are in full working order.
No matter. They will be boarded up by order of the state.
There is no starker example of the disconnect between the political classes and the rest of us. For the political classes – all three main parties are as one over this – the only thing that matters is signing treaties on global warming.
They love nothing more than flying off to summits parading their green hearts. Only when they get home does reality strike and we have to start implementing their deals.

Warmists upset that new Energy Secretary won't try to prevent bad weather by attempting to power our economy with unicorn farts?

Environmental Groups Target Ernest Moniz, President Obama’s Likely Choice for Energy Secretary - The Daily Beast

“We’re not sure Mr. Moniz will keep his eyes where they should be: on a no-carbon future where we are relying on wind and other forms of energy,” says Mitch Jones, a program director at Food and Water Watch.
...
“Mr. Moniz is affiliated with the industry-backed MIT Energy Initiative, so we shouldn’t be surprised about his favorable position on fracking,” read the statement. “But President Obama could do a lot better. Appointing Mr. Moniz would be a nail in the coffin for one of his most lauded inaugural speech promises: a commitment to focus on climate solutions.”
...At Greenpeace, executive director Phil Radford believes Moniz will keep the administration’s energy approach in the dark ages.

“This is a fairly safe, uninspired pick,” says Radford. Moniz “knows fossil fuels and nuclear energy, which is old energy. And at the same time it doesn’t align with the president’s promise to move the country forward. It’s a strange choice to pair with the president’s choice to fight global warming.”

Isn't it ethical to use less heating? | Environment | The Observer

This year I've gone without heating apart from the rare use of a wood-burning stove. I've managed well, but friends and family take a dim view of my low indoor temperatures. Meanwhile I find their homes intolerably overheated. Can you back up my assertion that my way is the ethical way?

Her equally gaunt brother is playing with some toys which include a polar bear and an oil tanker (nice touch!) The message is clear: if we don't act now to curb global warming, this is the future which awaits us (and our children).

What 17-year pause? On their new "My Climate and Me" site, the Met Office uses a fraudulent graph as the basis of their entire global warming sales pitch

Key Facts | My Climate & Me

Scientific understanding has come on leaps and bounds in recent years. And no wonder, climate change has been the focus for 1000s of climate scientists globally for 20-30 years now. The Met Office alone has over 200 climate scientists, and they’re equipped with world-leading computing and software technology, processing vast amounts of data collected globally on a daily basis.

We can’t ignore the fact that climate and the factors that affect it are highly complex, and there are some aspects of it that aren’t fully understood. Nevertheless, there’s a large body of evidence at the core of climate science that is highly robust. Let’s start by looking at this.
Fact: Global temperatures are increasing
Global temperature data provides clear evidence of this. The long term trend is one of global temperatures increasing. Since 1850 global temperature has risen by 0.8°C. 2010 was the hottest year globally on record.


...Natural climate cycles can add to the long-term warming trend or slow it down as we’ve seen in recent years, but they’re not significant enough to explain it

Our Mission | My Climate & Me

We think people deserve a clearer understanding of what’s going on with their climate. My Climate & Me is dedicated to explaining the truth about climate change science. It’s your go-to resource for an unbiased account of the scientific evidence around climate change, straight from the scientists themselves.
