Guessing At CO2 Emissions | The Resilient Earth
This goes back to the three pillars of climate science: incomplete theory, erroneous computer models and inaccurate data. Here is an admission that the connection between human activity and CO2 emissions has not been accurately measured. Climate scientists have inferred mankind's contribution from measurements in overall atmospheric content, blaming humanity for the sharp rise in GHG levels even though there is considerable evidence that levels of such gases have been higher during previous interglacials than they are today. New sources and new sinks are being discovered every day, and nature's response to changing CO2 levels is to change itself. No wonder climate scientists haven't guessed right yet.
Brendan DeMelle | Christopher Monckton Brings His Brand of Crazy To Bonn Climate Talks
Climate deniers often like to talk about “global warming profiteers,” some mysterious breed led by Al Gore who, so the story goes, are out to make the big bucks off scaring people about climate change. But if there’s anyone making money off lying about global warming these days, it is “Lord” Christopher Monckton, who continues his globetrotting tour to hawk confusion and misinformation at the Bonn climate talks this month.

[Monckton] Just about every one of the 115 slides presented by Abraham in his shoddy little piece of lavishly-funded venom contains serious, serial, material errors, exaggerations, or downright lies. All I have been able to do here is to give you some flavor of how unscientific, inaccurate, and deliberately mendacious Abraham’s video is.
Climate change leading to major vegetation shifts around the world
BERKELEY —  Vegetation around the world is on the move, and climate change is the culprit, according to a new analysis of global vegetation shifts led by a University of California, Berkeley, ecologist in collaboration with researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service.

"The dieback of trees and shrubs in the Sahel leaves less wood for houses and cooking, while the contraction of Arctic tundra reduces habitat for caribou and other wildlife," said Gonzalez, who has served as a lead author on reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
