What is going on Heavy snow forecast for many parts of UK 20CM of snow, Blizzards, Drifting?

I have reposted because some people tried to say I was faking the weather… Well I have added a link to the BBC Weather Warnings for everyone to see below http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8416010.stm I’m not kidding when I say we have 20cm of snow on the way! Last year was very cold in the UK this year [...]

IUFRO reports that forests could become carbon sources – what do you think?

the International Union of Forest Research Organizations, a nonprofit network of scientists, reports: "If the Earth heats up 2.5 degrees Celsius (4.5 degrees F) or more, evaporation from the additional heat would lead to severe droughts and heat waves that could kill wide swaths of trees in the tropics of Africa, southern Asia and South [...]

Do you think the data behind the science of global warming is flawed?

"[t]he Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis (IEA) issued a report claiming that the Hadley Center for Climate Change had probably tampered with Russian climate data. Apparently, Hadley ignored data submitted by 75% of Russian stations, effectively omitting over 40% of Russian territory from global temperature calculations — not coincidentally, areas that didn’t "show any substantial [...]

Why are people arguing that Paltridge 2009 proves climate sensitivity is low?

The new denier argument – if I’m understanding it correctly – is that climate sensitivity is low because water vapor isn’t a significant positive feedback, which we know because of the results of the recent Paltridge paper. The paper in question examines atmospheric water vapor data take from radiosondes (weather balloons) and finds "the face-value [...]

Is this letter signed by 141 scientists to the SG of the UN a bunch of nonsense?

8 December 2009 Dear Secretary-General, Climate change science is in a period of ‘negative discovery’ – the more we learn about this exceptionally complex and rapidly evolving field the more we realize how little we know. Truly, the science is NOT settled. Therefore, there is no sound reason to impose expensive and restrictive public policy [...]

Isn’t this a KEY example of just how corrupt the surface data is? Is it time to call a time out on AGW craze?

http://wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com/ NOAA Claims: Global Summer Temperature Was Ninth Warmest – Questionable 9/16/2008 This just doesn’t seem to add up given what we’ve seen from anecdotal weather information and satellite data. For example the UAH global temperature for the lower troposphere shows that the temperature in 2008 doesn’t get anywhere close to this claim made by [...]

Do the AGW Activists realize that their propaganda is fooling no one?

August 26, 2010 Over e-mail Transom: Extreme Weather and Climate Change Russ Steele “I got this email from RePower America an Al Gore organization promoting the dangers of human caused global warming. ‘Extreme weather is putting hundreds of thousands of lives and livelihoods at risk all around the world. In order to avoid the worst [...]

Why are proponents arguing that Paltridge 2009 doesn't prove climate sensitivity is low?

The new proponent argument – if I’m understanding it correctly – is that climate sensitivity is not low because water vapor is a significant positive feedback, which we know is not true because of the results of the recent Paltridge paper. The paper in question examines atmospheric water vapor data taken from radiosondes (weather balloons) [...]

The Earth has a “Fever” Is there a cure?

The symptoms are showing – the temperature is rising. A case in point is the Alaskan Village Newtok, located in the subarctic. The once frozen subsoil-known as permafrost-on which Newtok is built is melting. "I don’t want to live in permafrost [anymore]," lamented a resident named Frank. "It’s too muddy." Studies say that within ten [...]

What do you make of the programmers comments in the hacked data file "HARRY_READ_ME.txt"?

Here is the actual file: http://www.anenglishmanscastle.com/HARRY_READ_ME.txt Here is subset of what is in this file: – "But what are all those monthly files? DON’T KNOW, UNDOCUMENTED. Wherever I look, there are data files, no info about what they are other than their names. And that’s useless …" (Page 17) – "It’s botch after botch after [...]
