Dust on a solar panel will reduce its efficiency by up to 50%.In northern North America, what are the logistics of keeping solar panels free of snow?
In the brave green Australia of 2020, just a decade away, Canberra has mandated that about half the Simpson desert will be covered in solar panels.
Have they allowed for the army of cleaners and the giga-litres of water that will be needed to clean the panels after every dust storm?
Maybe this where the Green jobs are coming from, and where the Cubbie Station water is going to?
The United Nations is pulling out the “big guns” in an attempt to create a climate of urgency about climate change so that the meeting of over one hundred world leaders in Copenhagen some 75 days from now can produce an agreement to replace to failed Kyoto accord.
Nature, however, is not co-operating.

"The Arctic melting, the world's high-altitude glaciers melting, epic droughts and then epic flood in dry and wet areas. Those kinds of changes are going to be so destructive. And that's with 1 degree of temperature increase, never mind the 5 that scientists think are coming in the course of this century," continued McKibben.Townhall.com::Talk Radio Online

I can understand his desire for a focused discussion on the problems in the park, but I find it a bit troubling to intentionally steer away from discussing such a fundamental assumption.

If global warming is the main reason for the bark beetle outbreak today, what explanation is there for the bark beetle problems Colorado had in the 1970s? Though not quite as widespread, I remember the bark beetle devastation southwest of Denver at that time. Back then, a drive down U.S. 285 showed the same tree kill as a trip along I-70 does today. How could that have been, as Colorado temperatures were, in the 1970s, at the lowest point we have seen in the past 80 years?
It’s time for those who believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming admit they have been taken in by lies, mistruths, and their own fundamental lack of scientific experience. This is the truth. All it needs is the light of day to prove the AGM myth. Consider this a bright sunny day.

We learned, for example, from President Obama that under his cap-and-trade plan, "electricity prices would necessarily skyrocket."
We learned from Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) that cap-and-trade is "a tax, and a great big one."
We learned from Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) that "a cap-and-trade system is prone to market manipulation and speculation without any guarantee of meaningful GHG emission reductions. A cap-and-trade has been operating in Europe for three years and is largely a failure."

Washington DC: Veteran CBS newsman Charles Osgood, the host of the CBS News Sunday Morning show since 1994, has released an April 21, 2009 surprise “The Osgood File” radio report questioning man-made global warming predictions.=====
In the radio report, Osgood reveals that “the sun is the dimmest it's been in nearly a century” and noted that previous quiet sun periods have “led to a mini-Ice Age here on Earth.” Osgood even admonished himself for questioning man-made warming fears by declaring "Hush, Child! You're not even supposed to suggest that."
Osgood asked: “Right now, global warming is a given to so many, it raises the question: Could another minimum activity period on the Sun counteract, in any way, the effects of global warming? Hush, child! You're not even supposed to suggest that. The only thing that can change global warming is if we human beings --- we Americans, especially --- completely change our ways and our way of life. I'm sure you'll be hearing more about this solar dimming business, now that the story is out. Remember, you heard it here first...”
Osgood, a long-time environmentalist with close ties to the Nature Conservancy, has not always sounded so skeptical of global warming.

Global Warming: Science vs. Politics
We constantly hear about the politics of global warming. But what about the science — does it justify the economic impact of President Obama's proposed policies?
S. Fred Singer, president of The Science & Environmental Policy Project and a renowned pioneer in the field of weather satellites, discusses the common — and dangerous — misconceptions about climate change.
In this exclusive interview [MP3] , you'll hear how and why:
» Satellite data proves human-caused warming is "negligible and insignificant"
» Despite recent increases in CO2 emissions, the climate has actually cooled
»UN climate models used to predict climate change are "crude and naive"
A panel of experts recently took on these questions in an Oxford-style debate. The motion for the Jan. 13 debate, part of the Intelligence Squared U.S. series, was: "Major Reductions in Carbon Emissions Are Not Worth the Money."More about the above debate
Three experts argued in favor of the motion; three against. Before the debate, the audience at Symphony Space in New York City voted 16 percent in favor of the motion and 49 percent against, with 35 percent undecided. By the end of the debate, those arguing for the motion had changed the most minds: Forty-two percent voted in favor of the proposition "Major Reductions in Carbon Emissions Are Not Worth the Money," while 48 percent voted against it and 10 percent were still undecided.
Speaking for the motion: Peter Huber, Bjorn Lomborg and Philip Stott
Speaking against the motion: WL. Hunter Lovins, Oliver Tickell and Adam Werbach
Moderator: John Donvan

Chris Horner, "Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud and Deception to Keep You Misinformed," interviewed by Jed Babbin, Editor, Human Events. [Podcast here, 50.4 MB]
Congressman James Sensenbrenner joins me to talk about why he wants to talk to Obama about Global Warming (MP3)
SPOKANE, Wash. — Road crews worked around the clock to remove two feet of snow from Spokane, Wash., streets early Friday as the winter storm that set records in the West moved through the Great Lakes region and bore down on the Northeast.Podcast Reviews: Lord Lawson and The Alarmists - global warming review
The storm left thick ice in central Illinois, where up to 14 inches of the snow was expected by morning. Heavy snow started falling before daybreak in Michigan and was forecast to start in the Northeast by midmorning, with up to a foot expected by the evening commute.
...
Records were similarly smashed in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, with 25 inches of snow. The past record was 16 inches in 1955.
"It has eclipsed any previous records by a significant amount," said John Livingston, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in eastern Washington.
...
Hundreds of schools and school districts from Michigan to New Jersey, New York and New England called off classes.
...
In the mountains of Southern California, thousands of motorists began moving Thursday after being stranded overnight as snow and ice made several major arteries impassible. A segment of Interstate 5, the main link between Los Angeles and the Central Valley and Northern California, was closed for nearly 24 hours by treacherous conditions in Tejon Pass. Two portions of Interstate 15 were also closed including a 50-mile stretch in the Mojave Desert that is on the main route between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
I thought there was consensus. At the UChannel Podcast we have had many speakers who build on the assumption there is consensus about global warming and rush to tell us what dramatic policy changes we need to take up. We have had Lord Stern and more recently Thomas Friedman and many others. I can recall only one who took a contrary view in account and this was on waste management. There the word religion was applied. And Lord Lawson, in a recent UChannel Podcast speaks of the likes of Stern and Friedman as alarmists and warns of the alleged consensus also in a way of a intolerant religion.More from fool/fraud Andrew Dessler
Lord Lawson propagates a cool look at global warming and in short argues that the warming may not be half as bad as the alarmists claim it to be. He also claims that the time span in which the warming will take place gives ample window for man's adaptation so in his view, global warming, if at all happening, is not a problem. Consequently, the economics of the 'alarmists' are completely wrong in his view. Not only won't they be applicable, or if applied won't work, but also the divert the attention from much worse and pressing problems.

Over on Rabett Run, Eli looks into Fred Singer's finances. Turns out you get paid pretty well to be famous skeptic. I should note here that I don't believe skeptics are doing it for the money. I am quite convinced that they would be saying exactly the same thing even if they were not getting paid for it. The huge amounts of money they get paid (according to Eli, Fred got $143,000 for his work on the NIPCC) is just a nice bonus. Hey Fred, can I get a job with SEPP?
An issue I explore in Red Hot Lies is how, although alarmists assail skeptics who prefer anonymity (to avoid being the latest victim of a demonstrated pattern of retribution for speaking out), several of the nastiest alarmists themselves hide behind pseudonyms and pen names.
Along that line, one scientist wondered to me rhetorically, “Why is Joshua Halpern, a chemist at Howard University with connections to NASA hiding behind the [blogger] name ‘Eli Rabett’? Skeptics being attacked had the courage to speak out independently and publicly, yet criticisms of these people are mostly from people that hide their identity.” To the extent that “Rabett” is substantively memorable for anything it is for a miserably failed effort to discredit Nir Shaviv over the Svensmark cloud experiment, “getting his scientific butt well and truly kicked” in the words of one scientist. But substantive commentary is not the distinguishing characteristic of “Rabett’s” public utterances; instead, he likes to call names as much as hide his own.
The decision by “Eli Rabett” to engage in personal attacks does not come in a vacuum; he may simply not want people to know of his financial ties to NASA/GISS. That, after all, might cloud their judgment about his ceaseless cheerleading for GISS’s results (which stand out for their deviation from the three other major temperature measuring programs). NASA has a joint fellowship program alternating years with Howard University (even years) and the University of Maryland (odd years). The funding is generated by the NASA Faculty Fellowship Program, NASA’s point man at Howard is Joshua Halpern. In other words, this is significant funding for the graduate program in meteorology at Howard U. is provided by NASA through Halpern, the financial link between GISS and “Eli Rabbet’s” rabid support of the Hansen crowd, another page lists Halpern as a staff member.
It seems likely that “Rabett’s” fear driving him to anonymity is that his alarmism will be frowned upon by those actually guarding the taxpayers’ interests...
