The Washington Independent » Barton’s Greatest Hits: Wind Power Might Mess Up Global Wind Patterns and Make the Earth Warmer

Speaking of Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) — who apparently is weighing a run for the Senate seat being vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) — Kate just passed along the all-time money-est Barton quote ever (and that’s saying something) about how wind power might aggravate climate change.

For those who have zero tolerance for the slightest anthropogenic climate change: why wouldn't altering natural wind flows change the climate?

Climate change campaigners should not have fixated on carbon dioxide - Telegraph

Concentrating on carbon dioxide was understandable. It is, after all, the biggest single cause of climate change.

Iceberg Stories Are a Wet Lettuce — Climate Resistance: Challenging Climate Orthodoxy

It’s not entirely Goldenberg’s fault. She has been primed by years of press releases from the likes of NOAA and USIDC to believe that the ice is retreating on an almost daily basis. As we have noted before, in their attempts to maintain the excitement, these agencies are caught between the temptation to overplay the importance of new datapoints that reinforce the idea of a downward trend, and the need to downplay those that don’t fit easily with the catastrophe narrative. Regardless of where a new datapoint falls on the graph, it’s a portent of doom.

China Fights Back: Scientists Find ''no solid scientific evidence to strictly correlate global temperature rise and CO2 concentrations'' | Climate Realists

The IPCC’s estimate of a global temperature increase of 2.5 degrees C due to CO2 emissions increase is an average value obtained by some meteorologists through multiple model calculations. Ding’s report found that there is no solid scientific evidence to strictly correlate global temperature rise and CO2 concentrations. Some geologists believe that global temperature is related to solar activities and glacial periods. At least human activity is not the only factor to cause the global temperature increase. Up to now not a single scientist has figured out the weight ratio of each factor on global temperature change.
