Climate Research News » BBC Gives BNP a Voice, but Not Climate Sceptics

So, another free ride for baseless, unopposed climate alarmism, which is really aimed at global governance, no genuinely tough questions from a well infromed climate realist, but a voice for the BNP. Thanks BBC, great use of licence fee payers’ money!

Kerry becomes all-around adviser to Obama - Politics | Tri-City Herald : Mid-Columbia news

"Obviously, Sen. Kerry is somebody who has a broad range of experience and an in-depth knowledge of issues, ranging from energy and climate change to health care to foreign policy," said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. "I think it's that experience and insight that (Obama) certainly greatly values."

[August '09: John Kerry unhinged]: Global Warming Is The Next 9/11

Kerry reaches deep into the bag of global warming hysterics to uncork this piece, saying that the fate of the nation hinges upon the passing of some sort of climate change legislation.

It's ridiculously over the top, but we suppose it might get a few supporters all riled up and ready to fight for the bill this fall. Of course, it's so over the top that it might just turn off a bunch of people

Anti-Gore film doesn't help climate-change skeptics

The film includes a graph indicating that the late 20th century was significantly cooler than the Medieval Warm Period (MWP). This is highly unlikely. Temperatures by the late 1990s were in fact very close to those of the MWP.

[See for yourself:  In 1995, here's how the IPCC depicted the Medieval Warm Period]

Mathematicians working with the IPCC possessed a significant set of temperature observations made by weather observations during the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, ice core drillings, and tree ring proxies (which reveal temperature trends from rate of tree growth). As described by Canadian economics professor Ross McKictrick, researchers using this data set initially produced a graph published in the 1995 IPCC Second Assessment Report in which the second millennial climate history includes both the Medieval Warm Period as well as a subsequent Little Ice Age (see below).

CO2 Science

Our Medieval Warm Period Project is an ongoing effort to document the magnitude and spatial and temporal extent of a significant period of warmth that occurred approximately one thousand years ago. Its goal is to ultimately provide sufficient real-world evidence to convince most rational people that the Medieval Warm Period was: (1) global in extent, (2) at least as warm as, but likely even warmer than, the Current Warm Period, and (3) of a duration significantly longer than that of the Current Warm Period to date.
