CER supply to shrink as Chinese firms abandon U.N. carbon market

BEIJING, April 18 (Reuters Point Carbon) - China’s drive to cut emissions by launching regional greenhouse gas markets could help erode a surplus of carbon credits that has plagued the world’s biggest carbon offset market, but only because companies abandon the scheme, according to project developer Climate Bridge.

Time to shoot the husky, Dave – Telegraph Blogs

[Delingpole] There is so much good news about the collapse of the EU's carbon trading scam, that I'm not sure where to begin. But let's start with the fact that it has really, really annoyed Bryony Worthington - the activist from the hard-left anti-capitalist pressure group Friends of the Earth who wrote the most economically suicidal piece of legislation in British history, the Climate Change Act. Even more delightfully, it will also have upset Tim "Trougher" Yeo and Lord "King Trougher" Deben, both of whom were not only fully behind this latest planned EU conspiracy against the energy user and the taxpayer but who also had the sublime gall to suggest that this market rigging is what Margaret Thatcher would have wanted

Gore effect again: As Al Gore visited Ireland this week in an attempt to sell his global warming hoax, many winter-killed sheep there were still buried in snow

Sheep death toll tops 20,000 but many more still buried in snow - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

The number of dead sheep cleared from farms hit by the recent snow blizzards has now topped 20,000 — and many more are still to come.

Farm fund to help remove dead sheep - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

National Farmers' Union deputy president Meurig Raymond said: "This very welcome move by Defra will come as a huge relief to those farming families who have struggled with the worst snow in living memory and have since faced the very specific problem of the cost of removal of large numbers of dead animals. The NFU will now continue to work very closely with the Government on the detail of exactly how this money will be distributed."
...
In Northern Ireland, where farmers were severely hit by the snow, more than 8,000 sheep and other livestock were collected in a state-funded disposal scheme which formed part of an aid package to farmers. And in Wales, the Government has taken a series of steps, including providing £500,000 to several charities to help farming families affected by the extreme weather.

Part 2 Thomas Stocker Interview…Lüning: “IPCC Increasingly Unable To Maneuver, Detached From Reality”

Lüning: Indeed there is a discussion where the evidence is growing that so-called climate sensitivity is significantly over-estimated. However, one has to know that the climate models for the forthcoming climate report have long since been calculated and there is no longer the possibility of making modifications without starting over from scratch and losing face. The IPCC therefore will hardly be able to back down from its mean of 3°C per doubling of CO2. This means that Stocker’ IPCC is increasingly unable to maneuver and is detached from reality.

Quadrant Online - The 'settled science' and its leaning tower

It would be unsettling if scientists started describing the global warming theory as “settled” or of giving that impression to impressionable commentators. That is a layman’s term properly reserved for describing things like the coincident landing of two cannon balls of different weight dropped from the same height at the same place at the same time.

What I want to know is that climate scientists are, figuratively speaking, scaling the heights of the Tower of Pisa cannon balls in hand. Nothing that I read or hear gives me confidence that this is happening with any conviction. Is this simply a communications problem? Has every country got a Tim Flannery front-man inadvertently queering the pitch and putting science in a bad light? Or, is there really something rotten in the state of climate science?

Climate Change Dogma Killing the Economy as EU Carbon Crashes on Vote against High CO2 Prices says Friends of Science

Carbon prices in the European Union crashed up to 45 per cent as Members of the European Parliament voted against a climate change policy of high prices on carbon dioxide (CO2), due the burden on economy, industry and families.

Dube was speaking on the sidelines of a parliamentarians’ workshop on climate and sustainable development organised by the SADC Climate Services Centre in conjunction with the Meteorological Services Department held from April 11-12. “Some people still believe that climate change is linked to sin. Some are of the view that the erratic rainfalls or flash floods are largely because of lack of adherence to cultural values and practices,” said Dube.

Dube urged fellow legislators to embark on educative programmes concerning climate change in their constituencies.

“We should embark on programmes to educate our people on climate change. They really need to know that it’s human behavior that is to blame,” he said.

Is climate change taking a break? | Environment | DW.DE | 18.04.2013

The cold start into spring has made people in parts of Europe wonder if the climate is really warming. Global temperatures have not been rising in recent years. Is the earth cooling instead of warming?
...The long period of cold spring weather would seem to confirm the theory expressed by Vladimir Petoukhov from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. When he published his paper in late 2010, his comment was "hard winters do not contradict our image of global warming. On the contrary, they complete the picture. "

[Warmist Mojib Latif] Last winter, we had two weeks that were extremely cold. So winters like that are not going to disappear.

A paper published today in Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics reviews recent satellite data finding that variations in solar UV within solar cycles are up to 6 times greater than previously believed, and that these variations have a significant influence upon the atmosphere and regional climate change. The authors also find that current models don't reproduce these observations. The IPCC dismisses the role of the Sun in climate change by only considering small changes in total solar irradiance [TSI], while ignoring amplification mechanisms such as the large changes in solar UV within and between solar cycles.

NPR visits a Warmist experiment in Australia

And the experiment makes it look like coral reefs will be in trouble if the much-foretold global warming ever arrives. Would Warmists ever get any other result?

In real-life, however, corals survive well in a whole range of temperatures. Australia's Great Barrier reef stretches over 1600 miles roughly North to South, including temperate zones and near-equatorial zones. It is one vast natural experiment on the effect of temperature variation on coral growth. And guess where in those 1600 miles corals grow best? The warmest part!

So the Warmists on the reef fiddle around with fishtanks and ignore the reality just out the window. What a joke! But reality never has suited the Green/Left. It's a sad commentary on a lot of people but, basically, you have to be a crook to be a Warmist
