    Tol to warmist promoting Politifact site: 'It is all wrong...It’s incorrect...I see you have yet to correct your articles. Please explain why this takes you so long.'
    'I never claimed that the consensus rate is 91%...I see that you have yet to correct yesterday's post on the same topic. Please correct these errors post haste.'
    Tol on warmist John Cook's 97% consensus study: 'Cook's analysis is a load of old bollocks'
    Tol calls warmist Peter Doran's defense of his 97% consensus study 'silly'
    Politifact claimed GOP Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum's debunking of the 97% consensus claims on Bill Maher's HBO program were 'false'

  • Santorum: ‘The idea that the science is settled, to me, tells me that this is political science, not real science’

    "I always have problems when people come up and say the science is settled," said Santorum, a Republican presidential candidate and winner of the 2012 Iowa caucuses. "That's what they said about the world being flat. When someone says the science is settled you're not a scientist, because scientists never say the science is settled." He added: "The idea that the science is settled, to me, tells me that this is political science, not real science."

    NYT: Santorum on global warming: ‘Climate change’s Pharisees reassure us that the global-warming science is still settled’

    Santorum: 'Yet we all know that the world has been both much hotter and much colder than it is today, and that temperatures have changed dramatically over the millennia for a multitude of reasons. And there is so much we don't know about this complex field, which is made even more difficult by our inability to make predictions and test climate hypotheses, except with computer simulations that have questionable assumptions built in'

  • Santorum: Democrats are ‘anti-science,’ not me: ‘Climate change science is little more than ‘political science’

  • Fmr. Harvard U. Physicist Dr. Lubos Motl Praises Santorum’s skeptical climate view: ‘I would subscribe every letter Santorum has said’ (Video clip of Santorum’s views)

    Motl: 'Santorum's attitude is much more reasonable and scientifically well-informed than the attitude of dozens of people who consider themselves natural scientists and who are sometimes considered to be scientists even by their environment. In some sense, I think that Santorum is more liberated from some of the ideological misconceptions commonly associated with Christianity than the atheist scientists and left-wing candidates'

  • GOP hopeful Santorum on global warming: ‘An absolute travesty of scientific research…I for one never bought the hoax’

    Santorum: 'I for one understand just from science that there are 100 factors that influence the climate. To suggest that one minor factor of which man's contribution is a minor factor in the minor factor is determining ingredient in sauce that affects entire global warming & cooling is just absurd on its face and...unfortunately politicians who happen to be running for the GOP nomination for president who bought into man-made global warming and bought into cap-and-trade'

  • The Return of the Dead: Countering Species Extinction Claims – The most aggressive claims rest on shaky foundations’

    In the last 500 years only some 80 mammals are recorded as having gone extinct. In his book, More From Less, Andrew McAfee, a board member of HumanProgress.org, discusses how relatively rare recorded extinctions are – with some 530 across all species in the last five centuries. More importantly, he notes, the rate of extinction “appear[s] to have slowed down in recent decades; for example, no marine creatures have been recorded as extinct in the last fifty years.”

    Matt Ridley, another board member and frequent contributor to this site, argues that despite the human population doubling in the last half-century, “the extinction rate of wild species, especially in the most industrialized countries,” seems to have fallen rather than increased. While absence of evidence isn’t the same as evidence of absence, and there might be millions of unrecorded species in the world’s oceans and tropical forests, the most aggressive claims rest on shaky foundations.

  • CNN report buries this good news in paragraph 12 on polar bears: ‘They are doing quite well…Svalbard’s polar bear numbers do not appear to have decreased in the last 20 years’

    CNN: Jon Aars, a senior researcher at the Norwegian Polar Institute: "Polar bears are optimistic animals," Aars says. "It seems that they are quite resistant, and they are doing quite well despite the fact that they've lost a lot of their habitat." Despite the odds, Svalbard's polar bear numbers do not appear to have decreased in the last 20 years, he says.

  • Statistical politics: Prof. Mike Hulme on ‘politically charged’ climate baseline changes from 1961-1990 to 1991-2020: ‘In an instant; today, the world’s climate has ‘suddenly’ become nearly 0.5°C warmer’

    Hulme: "January  12021, a new World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) climatological standard normal came into effect. The ‘present-day’ climate will now formally be
    represented by the meteorological statistics of the period 1991-2020, replacing those from 1961-1990. National Meteorological Agencies in member states are instructed to issue new standard normals for observing stations and for associated climatological products. Climate will ‘change’, one might say, in an instant; today, the world’s climate has ‘suddenly’ become nearly 0.5°C warmer. It is somewhat equivalent to re-setting Universal Time or adjusting the exact definition of a metre." ...

    "So, what is the significance of the move to a new 1991-2020 WMO normal in January 2021? On the one hand, it is a pragmatic move to redefine ‘present-day’ climate for operational applications to that of the most recent 30-year period. On the other hand, it puts into play a third climatic baseline. Already existing is the ‘pre-industrial’ climate of the late nineteenth century and the ‘historic’ climate’ of 1961-1990, the latter about 0.3°C warmer than the former. And now there is the new ‘present-day’ climate of 1991-2020, in turn about 0.5°C warmer than the ‘historic climate’ of 1961-1990." ...

    "Combining a climatic tolerance of 2°C—or indeed 1.5°C—with a pre-industrial baseline yields a very different climate target than, say, using a 1986-2005 baseline, the period widely adopted by IPCC AR5 Working Group I as their analytical baseline. The choices of both baseline and tolerance are politically charged. They carry significant implications for historic liability for emissions (La Rovere et al., 2002), for policy design (Millar et al., 2017) and for possible reparations (Roberts & Huq, 2015)."

  • A new temperature pause? Zero global warming for 5 years 4 months

    Christopher Monckton: "At long last, following the warming effect of the El Niño of 2016, there are signs of a reasonably significant La Niña, which may well usher in another Pause in global temperature, which may even prove similar to the Great Pause that endured for 224 months from January 1997 to August 2015, during which a third of our entire industrial-era influence on global temperature drove a zero trend in global warming. ... As we come close to entering the la Niña, the trend in global mean surface temperature has already been zero for 5 years 4 months. 

    However, the new Pause is at a surface-temperature plateau 0.3 C° above the old Pause."
