Fraudster from US sends letter to people in Scotland
A leading climate change scientist from Nasa has called on First Minister Alex Salmond to put plans for new coal-fired power stations on hold.
Dr James Hansen says they should only be built if they are fitted with technology to capture and store the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
...
Dr Hansen states his concerns in a letter to the First Minister which has been published in the Scotsman newspaper.
BBC abandons 'impartiality' on warming - Telegraph
Londoners might have been startled last Monday to see a giant mock-up of a polar bear on an iceberg, floating on the Thames outside the Palace of Westminster. They might not have been so surprised to learn, first, that this was a global warming propaganda stunt and, second, that the television company behind it is part-owned by the BBC.
...
One of the madder instances was the 15 hours of airtime it gave in 2007 to the dreary Live Earth pop concert at Wembley, which was no more than a commercial for the views of Al Gore. Another was last year's lavish Climate Wars series, designed by the BBC's science team as an answer to Channel Four's The Great Global Warming Swindle. Nothing was more laughable than the sequence showing a huge poster of the infamous "hockey stick" temperature graph being driven round London on the back of a lorry, without any mention of the expert studies which have made the "hockey stick" one of the most comprehensively discredited artefacts in the history of science.
Joseph D'Aleo's long-range forecast? Global cooling - Lowell Sun Online
Q: But isn't the Arctic melting beneath the polar bears' feet?

A: That's another Al Gore creation. Many people don't realize there's currently a record-high world population of polar bears. We've gone from 10,000 to 25,000 globally. In fact, there's a concern right now that the sun might be going into one of its very long-term (cooling) cycles. We're looking very much like the early 1800s, a very cold period when Charles Dickens was writing his novels about the icy streets of London. We're heading back into that kind of mode, I think, where the sun and the ocean cycles are about to give us a couple of decades of cooler temperatures.
