Roger Andrews: Chunder down under – How GHCN V3.2 manufactures warming in the outback « Tallbloke's Talkshop

So while we ponder the question of whether UHI impacts, poor station quality, land use changes etc. might have introduced spurious warming into the surface temperature record, Team AGW is busily manufacturing it. And getting away with it too.

Alfred Wegener Institute: Arctic Ice Melt Due To CO2, But Record Antarctic Freeze Due to Wind and Weather!

My conclusion is borrowed from that Eagles song: “I’d thought you’d realize by now. There aint no way to hide your lying eyes.”

The science is just getting worse and worse, and is turning into a freak sideshow. Nobody can take this nonsense seriously anymore.

Untested claim: increased CO2 helps glacier ice to crack | Watts Up With That?

From the Institute of Physics , something so overreaching I just can’t believe the Institute of Physics would put out a press release on it. Where does one start with stuff like this? This is all modeling, they haven’t even tested any actual sea ice to see if it follows the theory. Their premise would be easy to test with some glacier water, a freezer, a controlled gaseous CO2 source, and a tensile/ductile strength mechanical force tester for brittleness. But that sort of basic testing wasn’t done. Yet, they equate their modeled posited effect to be the cause of the Pine Island Glacier breakoff, as if somehow events like that never happened before CO2 was at 392PPM. Note the abstract and link to the paper below. – Anthony
