Support Judith Curry As Head Of (Reformed) IPCC « The Unbearable Nakedness of CLIMATE CHANGE

I have a strong feeling that anybody else selected to carry forward the (reformed) IPCC will look far lesser capable than Prof Curry.

Judith, I love ya, but you’re way wrong … « Watts Up With That?

[Willis Eschenbach] The problem is that 71.3% of what passes as peer reviewed climate science is simply junk science, as false as the percentage cited in this sentence. The lack of trust is not a problem of perception or communication. It is a problem of lack of substance. Results are routinely exaggerated. “Scientific papers” are larded with “may” and “might” and “could possibly”. Advocacy is a common thread in climate science papers. Codes are routinely concealed, data is not archived. A concerted effort is made to marginalize and censor opposing views.

American Thinker: The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory

An idea has been drummed into our heads for decades, that roughly 1% of the atmosphere's content is responsible for shifting the earth's surface temperature from inimical to benign. This conjecture has mistakenly focused on specifically light-absorbing gases, however, ignoring heat-absorbing gases altogether. Any heated atmospheric gas radiates infrared energy back toward the earth, meaning that the dreadful power we've attributed to light-absorbing molecules up to now has been wildly exaggerated and must be radically adjusted, indeed, pared down perhaps a hundred times. Because all gases radiate the heat they acquire, trace-gas heating theory is an untenable concept, a long-held illusion we'd be wise to abandon.

Touché: Clive Hamilton gets taste of his own medicine | Australian Climate Madness

Uber-Green Clive Hamilton bleats on the ABC that he's received "threatening emails". Diddums. My heart bleeds. Maybe it makes up for calling sceptics worse than Holocaust deniers.

John Graham-Cumming: The station errors in CRUTEM3 and HadCRUT3 are incorrect

I'm told by a BBC journalist that the Met Office has said through their press office that the errors that were pointed out by Ilya Goz and I have been confirmed. The station errors are being incorrectly calculated (almost certainly because of a bug in the software) and that the Met Office is rechecking all the error data.
