Guest Post By [Alarmist] Andrew Dessler On The Water Vapor Feedback « Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.

Thus, we can conclude with extremely high confidence that the water vapor feedback is strong and positive (I would categorize it, in the IPCC’s parlance, as being unequivocal). And I would categorize it as very likely that models are accurately simulating this phenomenon.

But it's been hundreds of years since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.   Where's the warming?

That Washington Post Piece on Science Communication and ClimateGate | [Alarmist Chris Mooney] | Discover Magazine

Things have been so nuts for me over the past few days, I haven’t even been able to blog my Washington Post Outlook piece from Sunday about the need for better science communication in the wake of the devastating blow dealt by the ClimateGate scandal. The piece has been drawing tons of supportive private emails, as well as lots of online critiques and reactions, and fully 800 plus comments on the Post’s website, many of them from climate deniers.

‘Snow blindness’ spreads in newsrooms « Harold Ambler

...That is why the blogsosphere has come to play a vital role for those interested in both weather and climate. Sites such as wattsupwiththat.com raise the hackles of global-warming alarmists simply by reporting weather news that the mainstream media misses. While there have been many instances of “warmist” bias and “snow blindness” in the past several years, not one compares with the Northern Hemisphere winter of 2009-10.

Pajamas Media » James Lewis - Global Warming as Climastrology

The good news for 2010 is that the climate fraudsters are on the run. The bad news is that they are hoping against hope that the sheriff’s posse won’t catch ‘em. Because the real reason for “global warming” is now clear beyond any reasonable doubt. The reason is ten trillion dollars in taxpayer dough for politicians, transnational bureaucrats, and phony science types. Put away those old world records for the Great Train Robbery and Bernie Madoff. You can junk Bonnie and Clyde. The climate fraudsters have now set the biggest record for massive fraud in human history.
...
Now the New York Times actually had to go out and find an honest man to break the news to its readers (John Tierney). Its global frauding correspondent, Andrew Revkin, has resigned and fled the scene of the crime.
...
The biggest news for scientists: Science magazine has dropped any mention of “global warming” or “climate change” in its latest issue.

Even the Staunchest Supporters of Global Warming Scam Forced to Report on Brutally Cold Winter (Wizbang)

It has been most interesting (and mildly entertaining) to see the mainstream media try to ignore the weather. That may be a lot harder to do this winter... and the televised coverage of fans huddled with ear muffs at the Orange Bowl in Miami last night certainly didn't help.

Ocean Acidification: Another Failing Scare Story? | The SPPI Blog

[Chip Knappenberger] Overall the SPPI report makes for a fascinating (although quite technical) read. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get into the nitty-gitty details of how marine organisms from corals, to phytoplankton, to fish respond to changes in the ocean’s chemistry as a result from atmospheric CO2 enrichment. By the end, after turning page after page full of examples from the scientific literature that seem to run counter to the ocean-acidification-is-most-certainly-going to-be-bad mantra, you really begin to wonder whether ocean acidification is any more than much ado about nothing.

Cold snap spurs power rationing in China | Reuters

BEIJING (Reuters) - Cities across eastern and central China are rationing power for industry and urging residents to limit gas use after a wave of icy weather sent energy demand soaring while straining supplies of coal that were already tight.
