The real climate change conspiracy – or is it a cock-up? – Telegraph Blogs

The Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) is guilty of a couple of horrors. At one point they proudly pointed out that renewables would be cheaper than gas. Which, given that each renewable is more expensive than any gas, is quite a trick to pull off. What they had actually done is assume that if we had renewables then we'd all use much less electricity because it would be so expensive. In fact, the renewables calculation assumed that we would use half as much power as the gas calculation. I can do that sort of thing too, prove that 50 apples will be cheaper than 100, but I'd like to think that a government department would be able to come up with more sophisticated trickery than a newspaper hack.

Global Climate Justice gets its 15 Minutes | Planet3.0

It would be a bit of an understatement to say that Bonn didn’t go well.  See this rollup or, if you’re braced for the details, see the Climate Action Network’s coverage and commentary, and the Third World Network’s coverage and commentary, and the IISD’s summary.  The UNFCCC Secretariat will also be doing a report; no doubt it will be soon.

...Kartha showed that, if we’re to avoid climate catastrophe, developing-country emissions will have to peak while their per-capita incomes are still extremely low.

Michael D. Lemonick: 400 ppm: A Milestone that Means Everything, and Nothing | JunkScience.com

Using the IPCC’s simplified formula to calculate increased forcing from increased atmospheric CO₂ the ooh-scary 400ppm CO₂ amounts to 5.35*LN(400/280) = 1.9W/m² or 0.19 °C of already equilibrated warming.

Fakegate exhonerations | Planet3.0

Looks like an independent investigation done at the behest of the Pacific Institute has confirmed that Peter Gleick did not write the disputed fakegate memo

Quark Soup by David Appell: Gleick Review Won't Be Made Public, Pacific Institute Says

I asked them for a copy of the independent report; they told me it won't be made public as it's a personnel matter...
And let's be real: without the report, or not even knowing who did it, or without being able to talk to Gleick (I've asked), we really don't know anything at all.
