Paper Blames “Pause” On Natural Variability

And says it’s “not so unusual” (The Hockey Schtick) Shaun Lovejoy has published a new paper which cites his prior claim of 99.9% confidence that one of the two temperature graphs below is your fault, and the other due to natural variability. (snip-check the graphs at the link) In Lovejoy’s new paper, he acknowledges a […]

Jon Stewart Knows The Best Way To Turn Skeptics Into Climate Change Alarmists

Does it involve providing actual scientific evidence rather than hysterical talking points and failed computer models? Of course not (The Wire) On Wednesday, four former Republican Environmental Protection Agency administrators testified before Congress in an attempt to convince current Congressional Republicans on the threat of climate change. On last night’s episode of The Daily Show, […]

Pause Excuse #13: Colder Nights Getting Colder

Hot on the heals of excuse #12, “lousy data“, Warmists trot out excuse #13 (The Hockey Schtick) A paper published today in Environmental Research Letters finds a new excuse [#13 by my count] for the 15+ year ‘pause’ or ‘hiatus’ of global warming: “a coherent cooling pattern across the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes that has emerged […]

Skeptic Willing To Bet On Sea Level Rise

Will any Warmists back their predictions with cold, hard cash? Doubtful. Here’s David South, emeritus professor, School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, Auburn University (via Marc Morano) (IBD) Sometimes I can’t find anyone willing to back up popular predictions with their own money, even very modest sums. For example, in 2007, I offered to bet on […]

Latest Excuse For Warming Pause: “Lousy Data”

We’ve seen quite a few excuses run up the flagpole by Warmists attempting to explain away the almost 18 year pause in rising temperatures. In April the UK Guardian was a leader in trotting out #11, that surface temperatures do not matter. Now they position #12, which is just enough different from the seas ate […]

Surprise! Study Finds Western Antarctica Melting Mostly Due To Geothermal Processes

Obama’s “Carbon” Plan: Killing Jobs, Costing Americans Money

I’m still not that concerned with Obama’s climate change plan: there is a low probability that it will actually be implemented. There will be too many lawsuits filed and fought. Republican led states, and perhaps energy states with Democrat leadership, will blow the regulations off. A GOP president starting in 2017 will roll the regs […]

Oops: Washington Post Notices The Dearth Of Landfalling Major Hurricanes

Also, that Sandy was not a hurricane at landfall (via Steven Goddard) (Washington Post) The U.S. has been extraordinarily fortunate lately: we have not been witness to the fury of a major hurricane (category 3 or higher) landfall since October 2005 when Wilma hit southwest Florida as a Category 3 storm. (Other countries have not […]

Obama’s Power Plant Rules Seek To Reduce CO2 By 30%

Of course, not while he’s in office. Nor anytime soon. The full details of Obama’s energy cost skyrocketing plan will be released by the EPA today (Wall Street Journal) The Environmental Protection Agency will propose a draft rule on Monday seeking a 30% reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions by 2030 from existing power plants based on […]
