More IPCC Misdirection: Its Dodgy Sea Level-Rise Assessment — Scientist rebut UN claims: ‘Recent scientific findings argue that rate of sea level rise since 1993 is little different than the long-term (20th century) rate of sea level rise once natural variability and non-climatic influences are accounted for’

New paper finds sea levels rising at less than 4 inches per century, with no acceleration: Study ‘finds global mean sea levels rose at only 1 mm/year, equivalent to less than 4 inches per century, over the 203 year period from 1807-2010’ — ‘The authors also find no evidence of acceleration of sea level rise, which indicates that there is no evidence of a human influence upon sea levels’
New paper finds sea levels rising at less than 4 inches per century, with no acceleration http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2013/09/new-paper-finds-sea-levels-rising-at.html A new paper finds global mean sea levels rose at only 1 mm/year, equivalent to less than 4 inches per century, over the 203 year period from 1807-2010. The finding is remarkably similar to the sea level rise […]
Antarctic sea ice expands to all-time record — baffling scientists
Polar Bear Expert: ‘The annual minimum reached in late summer has little impact on polar bear health and survival. What matters most to polar bears is the presence of ample ice in spring and early summer (March-June), which is their critical feeding period’
What polar bear habitat could look like in another 5-6 weeks http://polarbearscience.com/2013/09/22/what-polar-bear-habitat-could-look-like-in-another-5-6-weeks/ According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC, Sept. 20 report), the annual sea ice minimum extent was reached on Sept. 13, 2013. At 5.10 million square kilometers, this year’s low was a whopping 1.69 million square kilometers above the minimum […]
Access: The ‘leaked’ IPCC AR5 draft Summary for Policymakers
Access: The “leaked” IPCC AR5 draft Summary for Policymakers http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/09/23/access-the-leaked-ipcc-ar5-draft-summary-for-policymakers/ For weeks, this document has been put in the hands of most every journalist that writes about climate issues, and many articles have been written about its contents. Given that much of the work done in it was publicly funded at universities, and because the […]
Contrary to reports, global warming studies don’t show 97% of scientists fear global warming: ‘The 97% figure represented just 75 individuals’ – – Another study’s ‘results add up to little more than ‘carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas’ and ‘mankind affects the climate.’
Contrary to reports, global warming studies don’t show 97% of scientists fear global warming http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2013/09/contrary-to-reports-global-warming.html Meaningless consensus on climate change Andrew Montford, Special to Financial Post | 19/09/13 8:51 AM ETMore from Special to Financial Post NASA file/APa wealth of new empirical and semi-empirical evidence is now suggesting that any warming is likely to be far, far less […]
Reality Check: The ‘1000 year Colorado flood’ is actually a 25-50 year flood
Shocker: The “1000 year Colorado flood” is actually a 25-50 year flood http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2013/09/shocker-1000-year-colorado-flood-is.html How Fantasy Becomes Fact Reblogged from Dr. Roger Pielke, Jr. 9/19/13: The flooding in Colorado has wreaked tremendous devastation, by one estimate the costs will total about $2 billion. Some people remain unaccounted for and it will be many months if not longer […]
UK Guardian calls UN report ‘the most comprehensive and convincing yet’ — UN IPCC issues stark warning over global warming — ‘Call to ‘stop dithering about fossil fuel cuts’ as expert panel warns entire globe is affected’
Claim: Global warming causing Antarctic ice to hit record level!
CLIMATE STUDY: EVIDENCE LEANS AGAINST HUMAN-CAUSED GLOBAL WARMING — Group of 50 international scientists releases comprehensive new 1200-page report
Excerpt: The report dismisses these claims with peer-reviewed evidence and concludes that “neither the rate nor the magnitude of the reported late twentieth century surface warming (1979–2000) lay outside normal natural variability,” “solar forcings of temperature change are likely more important than is currently recognized, and evidence is lacking that a 2° C increase in […]
