BusinessWorld Online: Obama as climate change villain

For me, the image that remains of Copenhagen is that of Obama appearing at a press conference to announce an agreement that only five countries had yet seen, and then rushing off to the airport to fly back to Washington, DC, to avoid a snowstorm back home.

Global Warming Hysteria: Excuse For Oligarchy » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog

I just knew the global warming that hysterics wouldn’t learn humility from their recent debacle. Unable to impose their will in Copenhagen, some of the more hysterical warmers apparently now want to junk the UN approach and impose their will on the world by a supposed “majority” vote of countries. The point person for this bad idea is the politically desperate Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

C3: The Very Unsettled Science: Why Oceans Cooled In Recent Years Still Has Scientists Baffled; Cooling Contradicts Climate Models

Read here. Article reviews a long list of ocean/sea temperature studies that confirm the recent ocean cooling. But scientists are unable to explain why oceans lost such a massive amount of heat, especially since climate models predicted the exact opposite. What these findings suggest are earth's warming/cooling climate cycles are dominated by natural causes yet to be identified, let alone being understood.

FT calls Copenhagen Accord ‘dismal’, ‘fiasco’ « Green Hell Blog

[FT] An empty deal would be worse than no deal at all, said the White House before Mr Obama travelled to the Copenhagen summit. As the meeting ended, Barack Obama was calling the Copenhagen accord – the emptiest deal one could imagine, short of a fist fight – an “important breakthrough”. Mr Obama’s credibility at home and abroad is one casualty of this farcical outcome.

Real World Libertarian: Turnbull on “reckless" climate realism.

Only an extreme leftist could even begin to imagine that a totally government tax based price imposition on all Australian businesses and households is in some ways “market based” because they will allow the victims to trade part of their ration cards.

World Climate Report » A Christmas Story: Some Facts about Greenland

Annual Greenland temperatures were higher in 1930 than today. The rate of warming in the past was much greater than the current rate of warming. Greenland warmed fastest before the concentration of greenhouse gases increased substantially. Greenland cooled substantially from 1930 to 1980 … during a period of greenhouse gas concentration increase. Box et al. note in their abstract that “The annual whole ice sheet 1919–32 warming trend is 33% greater in magnitude than the 1994–2007 warming.”

Climate Change Fraud -  Paul Driessen - Life in a box

Copenhagen and the circling of alarmist wagons over the climate change email and computer code scandal has made one thing absolutely clear, to anyone with open eyes and minds. The caterwauling over warming has nothing to do with science or saving Planet Earth.

It has everything to do with global governance, UN control of energy, economies and lives, and of course money – for research, renewable energy, bureaucracies, and international welfare.

The State of Climate Science – Fox Special « the Air Vent

Fox News Hour special on climate science. Featuring Steve McIntyre, Ross McKitrick, Pat Michaels, Bjorn Lomborg and others. Fox wasn’t able to get too many believers, but they did get Gerry North who happens to simply lie his butt off to the reporters in support of the AGW cause. I’ve used that L word pretty often lately here, but in my opinion there is no other word for it. North chaired the NAS panel which reviewed the validity of Mann’s hockey stick after Wegman reported his conclusions. The panel ended up trying to find a balance between the reality that it’s crap and the need for it to exist.
