A mere twelve weeks had passed since he gaveled the close of the second International Conference on Climate Change in NYC.  Yet last Tuesday found Joseph Bast already delivering the opening speech to its follow-up event, again featuring an elite group of scientists, economists and politicians gathered to discuss climate science and policy.  But this time he stood in DC’s Washington Court Hotel, just blocks away from the chamber in which Democrats will soon attempt to pass the very legislation compelling this urgent session – the Waxman-Markey Cap-and-Trade bill.

If you listen to liberals, they are the "reality-based" people.  They contrast themselves to conservatives, who they claim are ideology-based or faith-based.

According to blogger Joe Romm of Climate Progress, websites and writers daring to question greenhouse gas orthodoxy are guilty of endangering the "health and well-being of countless billions of people."  And in a surprisingly erratic response to recent criticism, the dangerous "deniers" this modern day prophet of doom singles out for suppression are American Thinker and its new environment editor.

Rise of sea levels is 'the greatest lie ever told' 

The uncompromising verdict of Dr Mörner is that all this talk about the sea rising is nothing but a colossal scare story, writes Christopher Booker.

Funny how you have to go to England to get this information.  The MSM in the US just can't be bothered.

Clear Thinking on Global Warming

Randall Hoven
Many people write sensible things about anthropogenic global warming, but I find Professor William Happer's statement to the US Senate on February 25, 2009, especially clear and convincing .

Happer is the Cyrus Fogg Bracket Professor of Physics at Princeton University.  He was also the Director of Energy Research at DOE from 1990-93, where he supervised all of DOE's work on climate change.  He says this:

Carbon Regulation: One Scientist's Unscientific Dream?

By Marc Sheppard

There's an understandably growing unease about the likely prospect that the Obama administration will soon choose to regulate CO2 as a pollutant.  But that disquiet would likely turn quickly to rage if more people knew the truth about the scientific conclusions on which this unprecedented incursion on both industry and individual freedom was based.  You see, it appears that those conclusions weren't based on accepted scientific procedure at all, but were instead predetermined -- and perhaps by a single man.

A. Is it so cold that people are burning Al Gore's book to stay warn!

This cartoon is hilarious.

Let's start with the current favorite, Global Warming.  Oops, Sorry.  I meant to say Climate Change.  The MSM have bought this myth hook, line and sinker.  However, there are plenty of scientists out there who have given the data an unbiased once over.  Guess what?  Al Gore is wrong.

Here are some links to show you how there is NO CONSENSUS on AGW and man is NOT killing polar bears or the planet.

 

Let's start here with the "Climate Change issue with a visit to Environmental and Public Works.

Then, we will stop by the home of Dr. Roy Spencer.  Dr. Spencer is a climatologist, and former employee of NASA.

  • Global Urban Heat Island Effect Study: An Update

    - Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:43:52 +0000

    This is an update to my previous post describing a new technique for estimating the average amount of urban heat island (UHI) warming accompanying an increase in population density. The analysis is based upon 4x per day temperature observations in the NOAA International Surface Hourly (ISH) dataset, and on 1 km population density [...]

  • Spurious Warming in the Jones U.S. Temperatures Since 1973

    - Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:00:06 +0000

    INTRODUCTION As I discussed in my last post, I’m exploring the International Surface Hourly (ISH) weather data archived by NOAA to see how a simple reanalysis of original weather station temperature data compares to the Jones CRUTem3 land-based temperature dataset. While the Jones temperature analysis relies upon the GHCN network of ‘climate-approved’ stations whose number [...]

    INTRODUCTION Arguably the most important data used for documenting global warming are surface station observations of temperature, with some stations providing records back 100 years or more. By far the most complete data available are for Northern Hemisphere land areas; the Southern Hemisphere is chronically short of data since it is mostly oceans. [...]

  • The Stimulus Bill’s Hidden Attack on What We Eat, Drink, and Smoke

    - Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:06:36 -0600

    by Phil Kerpen

    One of the more extreme proposals floated early in the national health care debate was the idea of taxing soda and other sugary beverages. That trial balloon was almost immediately shot down by the American public, but the Obama administration is attempting to achieve, by subterfuge, soda taxes and a lot of other ways to micromanage our lives in the name of public health—whether or not ObamaCare passes. The mechanism is buried in last year’s $862-billion-and-counting stimulus bill, and works by diverting hundreds of millions of dollars that should be promoting economic growth to instead pay lobbyists to push for higher taxes and nanny-state controls over our lives.
