NASA scientist Hansen responds in rather abusive terms (pdf) to folk making an issue of the revisions in US temperature data. Responding to the response. The detective work outsiders have to go to to try and work out how NASA adjusts temperature data. NASA has now released the code used to adjust station readings. Where ground stations are around the globe.
The Danish physicist who has been promoting his theory that the Sun is a significant contributor to recent warming has found that he is being treated like a heretic: I remember being shocked by how many thought what I was doing was terrible. I couldn’t understand it because when you are a physicist, you are trained that when you find something that cannot be explained, something that doesn’t fit, that is what you are excited about. If there is a possibility that you might have an explanation, that is something that everybody thinks is what you should pursue. Here was exactly the opposite reaction. It was as though people were saying to me, “This is something that you should not have done.” That was very strange for me, and it has been more or less like that ever since.
Assessing empirically climate sensitivity to CO2 increases. Natural climate cycles change the underlying math. New studies find lower climate sensitivity to CO2.
Senior BBC executives are unhappy over the proposal to have a climate change program. Which is cancelled. Global warming seems to be something of a popular bust. Noting that warming has good and bad effects.
A study finds that 48% of scientific papers published in recent years on global climate are neutral on the question of significant anthropogenic effects.
Sweden is having the coldest August for 60 years. It is unseasonally cold in the North Pacific too.
