Climate Skeptic: Global Warming "Fingerprint"

Many climate scientists say they see a "fingerprint" in recent temperature increases that they claim is distinctive and makes current temperature increases different from past "natural" temperature increases.

So, to see if we are all as smart as the climate scientists, here are two 51-year periods from the 20th century global temperature record as provided by the Hadley CRUT3. Both are scaled the same (each line on the y-axis is 0.2C, each x-axis division is 5 years) -- in fact, both are clips from the exact same image. So, which is the anthropogenic warming and which is the natural?

The Narrow Perspective On Climate Science Being Communicated To Physics Teachers

The article clearly misinforms the students and the physics teachers as to the actual diversity of issues with respect to the human role within the climate system, as well as the significance of natural climate forcings and feedbacks.

Climate Science recommends that physics teachers read more widely than the list in the American Association of Physics Teachers resource list.

The Problems With On-Grid Wind Power « Blowing Our Tax Dollars on Wind Farms

Here is a paper for dullards like me who didn’t understand the implications of trying to hook highly variable wind power into a power grid. The bottom line is that effective usage is low and that actual replacement effect is even lower...
