LED "climate" [hoax] dress monitors greenhouse gases - Green House - USATODAY.com
Want to stand out at your New Year's Eve party? The new "Climate Dress" would do just the trick. It's hand-stitched with hundreds of tiny LEDs that light up, depending on the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
Errors in IPCC climate science » Blog Archive » Hide the decline – new Jones station data file from 1999
I was amazed to find that the 1999 station list (2664) has fewer stations than the 1994 update (2961 quoted in the paper but 3555 in the digital download from CRU).

What about Gore’s Copenhagen prediction of an ice-free Arctic Ocean by 2014? The researcher whose work Gore said he was citing, Wieslav Maslowski of the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, repudiated Gore’s assertion the next day. The Melting Snow and Ice report cites modeling studies that find that the Arctic Ocean in September could be ice-free by 2100, or perhaps as early as 2037.

Del and his fellow warmers are becoming increasingly panicked as they realize their opportunity to redistribute the world’s wealth is fading fast. Their true motives were betrayed by the socialist slogans and Soviet-era flags displayed in Copenhagen. In addition to Climategate, Gore has been busted several times recently for spouting made-up statistics, effectively waking up the populace to the scam.

"Venus has gone terribly bad since it first formed," [CU-Boulder Professor Larry Esposito] said. "The surface pressure is 100 times that of Earth and its temperature is similar to that of a self-cleaning oven. We are very interested in what sent Venus down this hellish path, including its runaway global warming."

Venus also has a toxic atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide gases and acid rain, he said. "Understanding the physical and chemical reasons for this uncontrolled warming may help scientists better understand the eventual fate of Earth."
