How climate models dismiss the role of the Sun in climate
How climate models dismiss the role of the Sun in climate http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-climate-models-dismiss-role-of-sun.html The IPCC attributes 20th century global warming primarily to CO2 on the basis climate models, claiming that the increase in solar activity during the 20th century was insufficient to cause the observed warming. Thus, it is claimed, CO2 is by default the only […]

EPA mandates that new coal plants prevent nonexistent climate problem with unavailable solution http://junkscience.com/2013/10/01/epa-mandates-that-new-coal-plants-prevent-nonexistent-climate-problem-with-unavailable-solution/ Carl Erickson writes at Forbes: Am I missing something? Now, as the UN’s IPCC frantically attempts to explain how its alarmist predictions based upon theoretical climate models got it so wrong, the EPA has issued a new regulatory assault on coal […]
IPCC On Antarctic Sea Ice: The IPCC ‘models forecast less ice, and they cannot explain why there is instead more ice’
IPCC On Antarctic Sea Ice http://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/ipcc-on-antarctic-sea-ice/ By Paul Homewood The newly released IPCC Fifth Assessment Report has a few things to say about the increasing Antarctic sea ice extent:- 1) Available evidence precludes us from making robust statements about overall changes in Antarctic sea ice and their causes. 2)There has been […]
Study Finds ARGO Buoys Show No Evidence Of Missing Heat
Study Finds ARGO Buoys Show No Evidence Of Missing Heat http://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2013/09/30/study-finds-argo-buoys-show-no-evidence-of-missing-heat/ By Paul Homewood Further to recent debate about missing heat disappearing into the oceans, it is worth recalling a study from 2010 by Knox & Douglass. ABSTRACT A recently published estimate of Earth’s global warming trend is 0.63 ± 0.28 W/m2,as […]

Physicist explains why increased CO2 has a trivial effect upon climate http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2013/09/physicist-explains-why-increased-co2.html Climate science in a Styrofoam cupby Mal Wedd September 30, 2013 Quadrant OnlineWhen I went to university to study physics, serious scientists observed patterns, developed hypotheses to explain them, developed experiments to test the hypotheses, and wrote papers on the experimental data to […]
Insurer: Climate not a main driver of rising losses; ‘Main drivers are increases in population and in wealth’
Insurer: Climate not a main driver of rising losses; ‘Main drivers are increases in population and in wealth’ http://junkscience.com/2013/09/29/insurer-climate-not-a-main-driver-of-rising-losses-main-drivers-are-increases-in-population-and-in-wealth/ The Financial Times reports: However, the role of climate change in contributing to the rise in insurance losses remains contentious. Economic growth has played a much more important role, say several scientists and insurance executives. Rising […]
Rupert Darwall: ‘The Political Science Of Global Warming: the most revealing aspect is that none of the climate scientists involved seems embarrassed at this nonsense or protests at the manipulation of science for political ends’

Global Temperature Standstill May Last 30 Years, Climate Scientist Predicts: Prof. Anastasios Tsonis at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee,: ‘I would assume something like another 15 years of leveling off or cooling’
Global Temperature Standstill May Last 30 Years, Climate Scientist Predicts http://www.thegwpf.org/global-temperature-standstill-30-years-climate-scientist-predicts/ An enormous U.N. report on the scientific data behind global warming was made available Monday, yet it offers little concrete explanation for an earthly oddity: the planet’s climate has hit the pause button. Since 1997, there has been no significant increase in global average […]
