- Climatologist Dr. Tim Ball: ‘Temperature: The Blinding Obsession. It’s The Precipitation Stupid’
'Temperature predictions fail, primarily because [warmists] ignore or lack data about water and secondarily because they assume CO2 causes temperature increase'
- Prof. Pielke Jr.: ‘Despite all the hype, 2012 was just below average for natural catastrophe costs and way below average for lives lost’
- Warmists go unhinged: ‘Global warming is to blame’ for lightning strike which killed Mt. Kilimanjaro climber — ‘It was quite freaky and probably it’s because of the global warming’
'It is very unusual to have thunderstorms and rain at that particular level of the mountain but it is just the whole climate is changing'
- Climategate’s Michael Mann Reveals Why He Refuses To Debate — He ‘would have been laughed off the stage’ for his uninformed claims
Analysis: 'Alarmists make ridiculous claims in the hope of swaying an uninformed populace. They refuse to allow critical objective critiques of their work. And when a skeptical scientist presents objective data that call the ridiculous claims into question, they accuse the skeptical scientist of being “anti-science.” Thank you, Michael Mann, for perfectly illustrating why global warming media hounds are so frightened of public debate'
- The Paper Tiger — No Wonder Michael Mann Will Never Debate: Mann ‘still thinks snows of Kilimanjaro are receding due to ‘climate change’
'Mann is still pushing the now long debunked claims about the Snows of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Even Mann's buddies Lonnie Thompson and Phil Jones privately admit the issue is local deforestation/evapotranspiration and not 'climate change.' It is mind blowing he's still pushing this'
- Al Gore wrong again! ‘Mount Kilimanjaro is slowly building up its snow cover, allaying fears of prominent scientists who had predicted witnessing the eminence lose its famous white hat’
'The drifts are slowly thickening on the top point of this summit...The snow, which once had disappeared on some parts of the mountain, is piling up again gradually there was a deepening of the snow, which had once practically disappeared'
- ‘Death threat’ fictions — Alleged death threats against Aussie warmists fizzles
'It's a bit clumsy to call this entire saga 'death-threat-gate'. But it is weird how many of the iconic warmist narratives (e.g. hockey-sticks, polar bears, melting-Himalaya-glaciers, Hansen-congressional-testimony, snows-of-Kilimanjaro...) turn out to be crocks'
- Mt. Kilimanjaro’s snowcap ‘no longer shrinking, but growing’: ”A guide who’s been hiking the mountain for the past 7 years laughed when asked about likelihood snowcap would disappear soon’
'Before, we were seeing glaciers melting,' he explained during a recent descent from the summit. 'But from 2010 to now, we have been seeing new glaciers.'

- Georg Kaser of Innsbruck U.: ‘The Kibo glaciers shrink & will disappear not because of changing climate conditions…It is simply too dry for these glaciers to exist under normal Holocene conditions’
Kaser: 'The much less clear question is on how the glaciers came to exist, & there are indications that a series of exceptional wet years allowed them to build up during first half of 19th century'
2010 study in journal Global & Planetary Change found 'deforestation in Kilimanjaro's lower rain forests could be accelerating glaciers' retreat because it leads to drier air around the mountain's peak'
- Al Gore’s global warming claims on Kilimanjaro glacier – finally dead and buried in the Climategate 2.0 emails – even Phil Jones and Lonnie Thompson don’t believe it
'Would you agree that there is no convincing evidence for kilimanjaro glacier melt being due to recent warming (let alone man-made warming)?'

‘Gross misinformation’: Extreme weather expert Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. Slams New hurricane study – ‘Re-invents history by using modeled historical hurricane activity to find the right trends’

The new global warming ‘pause’ increases to nearly 8 years – No warming since March 2014
On the HadCRUT4 data, there has been no global warming for close to eight years, since March 2014. That period can be expected to lengthen once the HadCRUT data are updated – the “University” of East Anglia is slower at maintaining the data these days than it used to be.

The Real Threat to Banks Isn’t From Climate Change. It’s From Bankers.
Michael Shellenberger: A major new staff report from the New York Federal Reserve Bank throws cold water on the over-heated rhetoric coming from activist investors, bankers, and politicians. “How Bad Are Weather Disasters for Banks?” asks the title of the report by three economists. “Not very,” they answer in the first sentence of the abstract.
The reason is because “weather disasters over the last quarter century had insignificant or small effects on U.S. banks’ performance.” The study looked at FEMA-level disasters between 1995 and 2018, at county-level property damage estimates, and the impact on banking revenue.

UK Independent promotes ‘personal carbon quotas’ as ‘demonstrably do-able’ – ‘Every person in UK be given a monthly carbon budget to balance between heating, travel, energy & food’
UK Independent: "Your home, sometime in the next decade. You click the heating on and receive an app notification telling you how much of your carbon allowance you’ve used today. Outside in the drive, your car’s fuel is linked to the same account. In the fridge, the New Zealand lamb you’ve bought has cost not just pounds and pence but a chunk of this monthly emissions budget too. Welcome to the world of personal carbon allowances – a concept that is increasingly gaining traction among experts as a possible response to the climate crisis. Each month, it would see every person or household in the country given a limited emissions quota to spend on heating, energy, travel, food and possibly consumer goods. Those who wish to expend more could buy top-ups. Those who require less would be able to sell their left-overs back to the ‘grid’." ... Now, in the wake of Cop26, many feel the concept – radical, perhaps, but demonstrably do-able – has never been riper for consideration. So, could this be our future? ... “By establishing an equal monthly budget for everyone, you create a sense of a shared effort to address a shared problem,” says Fawcett.#Covid/Climate: "Enamoured by lockdown, the puritans wish for a perma-pandemic in which no-one, nowhere, will be happy"- Ron Clutz: "This all sounds like one’s entire life would be recorded and regulated and monitored and meddled with by politicians who’ll punish or praise, all in pursuit of a vague utopia."
