Fossil Raindrops And The Faint Young Sun
Friday, 18 May 2012 07:58
Doug L. Hoffman, The Resilient Earth
It is accepted that the ancient Sun was considerably cooler than our local star is today, so much so that Earth a few billion years ago should have been a lifeless frozen ball. But scientists have also shown that the planet was not frozen—shallow seas warmer than any modern ocean abounded with microbial life. A recent study, detailed in the...

Is Sea Level Rise Accelerating?
Thursday, 17 May 2012 09:20
Paul Homewood, Not a lot of people know that
It is generally accepted that sea levels increased during the 20thC at a rate of about 185mm or about 7”. Furthermore studies suggest that there was no acceleration in this rate during that time. One of the best known studies was by Bruce Douglas, who produced this graph from Tide Gauge records for 23 geologically stable sites.

UK Government Confirms IPCC Has A Transparency Problem
Monday, 14 May 2012 12:21
David Holland, Bishop Hill
Simon Anthony’s excellent report on Thomas Stocker in Oxford reminds me that I should add a postscript to the piece that Andrew and I posted after the 33rd IPCC Session when the IPCC decided to make the drafts and comments of its Assessment Reports confidential. We did not say so at the time but that was the handiwork work of Thomas Stocker...

Did Climate Scientists Lie About Death Threats?

Tim Blair, The Daily Telegraph
'If these people can’t get a simple conversation right, why should we trust them on complicated matters like global warming?'
Retired Canberra public servant John Coochey attended a dinner two years ago at the Australian National University during a “deliberative democracy” project on climate change.
At the dinner, Coochey – a global...

Haeckel’s Monism And The Birth Of Fascist Ideology
Sunday, 13 May 2012 07:16
William Kay, Environmentalism is Fascism
Gasman’s thesis is that fascism was a coherent intellectual doctrine advocating a scientist-led social transformation. The biological sciences were key factors in fascism’s birth and development. Fascist intellectual doctrine crystalized before 1919 in a process inseparable from the widespread Haeckelian cultural reformation. Monism...

Is Bias Destroying Science?
Saturday, 12 May 2012 07:52
Judith Curry, Climate Etc.
Alarming cracks are starting to penetrate deep into the scientific edifice. They threaten the status of science and its value to society. And they cannot be blamed on the usual suspects — inadequate funding, misconduct, political interference, an illiterate public. Their cause is bias, and the threat they pose goes to the heart of research....

Crying Wolf? World Newspaper Coverage Of Climate Change On Decline
Friday, 11 May 2012 11:38
The Hockey Schtick
According to a study from the Center for Science & Technology Policy Research, world newspaper coverage of 'climate change' or 'global warming' has been on a declining trend since 2007 to some of the lowest levels since the study began in 2004.
Coverage spiked shortly after the premier of Gore's science fiction movie An Inconvenient Truth...

No Sea Level Rise Catastrophe?
Thursday, 10 May 2012 11:19
World Climate Report
The current speed up of glacier across Greenland is “far below” even low end projections and that there is “little potential” in reaching the high end scenario for the rate of flow.
As one of the central tenets of climate change catastrophe involves inundation by rapidly rising seas, we like to visit the issue from time to time here at...

Solar Quiet Spell Cooled Climate In The Past
Wednesday, 09 May 2012 13:47
Lewis Page, The Register
German researchers say they have found solid evidence that a past "solar minimum" period of prolonged low solar activity – of the sort which some hefty physicists believe will commence within a few years – significantly cooled the climate. The research flies counter to theories offered by carbon-alarmist climate scientists, who contend that...
