Climate links
Useful piece on ice ages: we are currently in a cooling period in terms of very long term trends.
A blog which examines tropical ocean oscillation data (it is fairly technical).
The biosphere is getting bigger.
Study finds that increased oxygen levels are connected to global coolings.
Study finds human actions have reversed long-term cooling trend. IPCC scientist warns of cooling trend for the next 10-20 years:
In candid mood, climate scientists avoided blaming nature for their faltering predictions, however. "Model biases are also still a serious problem. We have a long way to go to get them right. They are hurting our forecasts," said Tim Stockdale of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in Reading, UK.
Data on energy radiance undermines current climate models.
More fun with hockey sticks. It looks like the “hockey stick” is definitively dead. And also. With a certain amount of crowing. The long and dogged struggle to get the original data publicly released. It has implications for the failure of peer review and papers which will have to be revised. The scientist in charge of the original work says they are working to develop a better methodology. (I am reminded of C19th peppercorn measurements of skull sizes.) Except new “hockey sticks” have to be created to get doomsaying predictions by c.2050 working.
Being really unimpressed with the IPCC’s highly divergent from the scientific literature estimate on how long CO2 remains in the atmosphere.
Official response to the (pdf) surface data assessment project. Response.
Prominent Oz climate scientist unhappy and pessimistic about the implications for free enquiry and science of CAGW orthodoxy.
A polar bear expert with 30 years experience told to stay away from a research group whose meetings he has been attending since 1981 because he does not have the correct views on climate change. [Or perhaps things are not as reported.]
Catastrophist expedition trapped in Artic ice.
China’s top climatologist is not convinced a 2oC rise in global temperature is all that much to worry about.
Deepak Lal sees the emissions control push as an attempt to stop India and China getting wealthy. India and China are in agreement on climate policy.
A nice clear statement of scepticism. Scepticism derived from examining the climate models.
Offering a climate plan.
A post on where public opinion and the language of catastrophism is.
Up to the same point in their respective Presidencies, who had spoken more on climate change President Obama or Dubya? The answer is … President Obama speaks to the UN on climate change.
The Obama Administration is keen to educate schoolchildren on climate change and energy efficiency.
