- 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)?'

Meteorologist Cliff Mass faces ire of climate establishment by rejecting heatwave climate connection
Meteorologist Cliff Mass: Without global warming, we “still would have experienced the most severe heat wave of the past century.” ... Mass concluded climate change didn’t play a central role in an event largely caused by the natural variability of our regional weather. He notes the temperature soared by more than 40 degrees above the normal high, and climate change added only a few degrees, thus “a record-breaking unique heat wave” would have occurred even without global warming. In his blog, he lays out a golden rule that — based on this analysis — the bigger the temperature surge in an extreme event, the smaller the role of climate change, and accuses the World Weather Attribution report of “misinforming millions.” Mass says his criticism is grounded in a deep knowledge of the intricate mix of ocean, mountains and atmospheric flows that help to produce Northwest weather, as well as climate models he runs. ...
“I don’t believe we are facing any kind of existential threat,” Mass said. “But it is not a good idea to muck around with the climate of the planet.”
