WESTVIRGINIA-THE STATE GLOBALWARMING FORGOT

by Edward R. Long and Jennifer M. Cohen | 21 July 2010

A survey of the WV temperature record reveals that temp. anomalies

were stable or fell from 1905-2009. Raw data from a set of

meteorological stations show cooling at the rate of ?0.60.2oC/century, while the USHCN Version 2 adjusted records for the same

station set yield no change, 0.00.2 oC/century. For the 1998-2009

interval the average temperature anomalies of the station set

declined at rates of ?6.83.6 oC/century and ?4.83.6 oC/century,

respectively for the raw and USHCN Version 2 adjusted data.

PROGRESSIVE ENHANCEMENT OF GLOBALTEMPERATURE TRENDSby Joseph DAleo | 21 July 2010

Recently we shared a story in the Wall Street Pit how NASA has

gradually reduced the warm middle 20th century blip and created a

more continuous warming. You can see in this 1976 National

Geographic graph, a rather significant warm period starting in the

1920s and peaking during the dust bowl era in the United States inthe 1930s and only slowly declining heading into the 1950s. It

showed more significant cooling in the 1960s and 1970s. The story

questioned where to from there.

CHANGING THE ENGINE OF THE GLOBALECONOMY: THE NEXT UNSTRATEGY

by Dennis Ambler|

20 July 2010

Recent remarks by Pres. Obama and Treasury Secretary Geithner,

promote the idea that the US can no longer be the primary driver of

world economic growth and that other world economies must grow

in preference to the US, to achieve global economic growth.

RIDING THE HEATWAVESby Dr. Richard Keen and Joe DAleo | 13 July 2010

Although Ive lived in Colorado for 40+ years, Philadelphia is

my ancestral home and I keep track of the weather there. Of

course, Im excited about any event that sets records there,

and last weeks heat wave set several. Apparently Michael

Mann is excited, too, and in his Victory and Vindication

interview, he said: Record heat wave in the US thats part of a

larger picture of early summer temperatures that are the

warmest on record, which is part of a larger picture of a globe

that is running warmer than ever before...

THE DAILYTELEGRAPH,TATA&DR.PACHAURI ANAPOLOGYTOO FAR?

by Dennis Ambler | 04 July 2010

At the time, Dr Pachauri demanded an apology and hinted at

legal action if none were forthcoming. I am not aware of any

such response, so it was somewhat of a surprise when an

apology did appear this month in the Telegraph, not to Dr

Pachauri, but to the Tata group, who felt they were maligned

by comments in the Pachauri article. What is the backgroundto this and why did the Telegraph apologise?

JIM HANSEN REALITYCHECKby Joseph D'Aleo | 05 June 2010

Hansen, NOAA NCDC, Hadley CRU/UKMO all have reason to

find warmth and verify their scary projections from their tinker

toy models despite the many shortcomings found in these

models. Hansen has a proven history of manipulating data to

come closer to verifying projections.

SURFACE TEMPERATURE RECORDS:POLICYDRIVEN DECEPTION?

by Joseph D'Aleo & Anthony Watts | 02 June 2010

Authors veteran meteorologists Joe DAleo and Anthony Watts

analyzed temperature records from all around the world for a

major SPPI paper, Surface Temperature Records Policy-

driven Deception?The startling conclusion that we cannot tell

whether there was any significant global warming at all in

the 20th century is based on numerous astonishing examples

of manipulation and exaggeration of the true level and rate of

global warming.

That is to say, leading meteorological institutions in the USA and around the world have so

systematically tampered with instrumental temperature data that it cannot be safely said that

there has been any significant net global warming in the 20th century.

PLANT ANDANIMAL RESPONSETO GLOBALWARMING

by Robert Ferguson | 24 May 2010

One of the grandest of all catastrophes

predicted by climate alarmists to occur as aresult of CO2-induced global warming is that

many plant and animal species will not be

able to migrate poleward in latitude or

upward in altitude fast enough to remain

within the temperature regimes suitable for

their continued existence, and, therefore,

many of them will likely be driven to extinction.

QUANTIFYING THE EFFECTS OFOCEANACIDIFICATION ON

MARINE ORGANISMSby Dr. Craig Idso | 24 May 2010

According to climate-alarmist theory, as the airs

CO2 content rises in response to ever-increasing

anthropogenic CO2 emissions, and as more and

more carbon dioxide therefore dissolves in thesurface waters of the worlds oceans, the pH

values of the planets oceanic waters should be

gradually dropping.

ACIDIFIED SHELLFISH:ADISTORTEDVIEWby Dennis Ambler | 03 May 2010

Jane Lubchenco, NOAA Administrator, is keen to expand her role, get

more funding and enlarge her organization. She sees Acid Seas as a

suitable vehicle and has given interviews claiming that the oceans are

becoming more acidic and threatening much of the life in the

oceans.

DR.RAJENDRAPACHAURI AND THE IPCCNO FOSSIL FOOL

by Dennis Ambler | 03 May 2010

Much has been written over recent months about the enigmatic

Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, (IPCC),Dr. Rajendra K Pachauri. He has been labeled a crook and a fraudster

by some, because of his extensive interests in companies that stand

to benefit from carbon trading, but those searching for direct and

actionable evidence of wrong-doing will be disappointed.

What they will find is someone who has used his position as IPCC

Chairman to attract major funding to his own organization, The

Energy and Resources Institute2 (TERI), known previously (and concurrently by some), as the Tata

Energy Research Institute.

COMMENTS ON THE 8TH REPORT OF SESSION'09-'10 OF UK'S HOUSE OF COMMONS ...

by Richard S Courtney | 07 April 2010

The Climategate affair originated in November 2009 when fileswere hacked or leaked from the Climate Research Unit (CRU)

of the University of East Anglia (UEA) and were published on

the internet at various places. These files especially the

emails they contained provide prima facie evidence of

scientific malpractice by climate scientists who call themselves

the Team. Several investigations of the affair have been

initiated and two of these are concluded. The concluded

investigations were by Penn State University (PSU) and the UK

Parliaments House of Commons Select Committee on Science and Technology. Both these

investigations have mostly exonerated the Team. But the findings of these investigations have

been widely excoriated as being a whitewash.

ADJUSTED TEMP RECORD FORPENN.by Jennifer M. Cohen, PhD. | 06 April 2010

This report compares the raw with the United States Historical

Climatology Network Version 2 (USHCN V2) adjusted

temperature records for the twenty-four USHCN listed

temperature stations in the state of Pennsylvania. Averaging

over the twenty-four stations the raw data yielded a small

linear decline with temperatures trending -0.1 0.1

C/century, while the U.S. Historical Climatology Network

(USCHN) Version 2 adjusted data revealed an increase of 0.7

0.1 C/century. Over the twelve year period 1998-2009 a drop

in temperature was observed in both data sets with a raw

trend of -0.75 0.1 C/decade and an adjusted trend of -0.65 0.1 C/decade.

ACADEMIC STATEMENTS SHOULD REFLECTDATA AND KNOWLEDGE,NOT BIAS AND

BELIEFSby Lee Gerhard | 30 March 2010

As science progresses, most scientists change their views based onnew knowledge. Those who will not recognize new information and

theory have often staked their reputations and careers upon out-of-

date science. So it is with climate science today.

EVALUATION OF KENNEDYJR'S STATEMENT IN

WESTVAABOUTWIND ENERGY,DELUDEDDELUSIONAL ORDISHONEST?

by Glenn R. Schleede | 17 March 2010

During a forum at the University of Charleston, West Virginia the

Forum, Robert Kennedy, Jr. made many statements about wind

energy that are false or misleading and should not be allowed to

stand without challenge. Its unclear from the transcript whether

Mr. Kennedy has been misled by the wind industry, whether he

really believes all that he said about wind energy, or whether he was

merely hoping that no one listening to the forum or reading the

transcript would challenge his false and misleading claims.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS CAUSES,ADISCUSSIONABOUT SOME KEYISSUES

by Nicola Scafetta | 04 March 2010

This article discusses the limits of the Anthropogenic Global Warming

Theory advocated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Aphenomenological theory of climate change based on the physical

properties of the data themselves is proposed. At least 60% of the

warming of the Earth observed since 1970 appears to be induced by

natural cycles which are present in the solar system. A climatic

stabilization or cooling until 2030-2040 is forecast by the

phenomenological model.

The Goddard Institute for Space science (GISS), the National Climatic

Data Center (NCDC), and centers processing satellite data, such as

the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH), have published

temperature and rate of temperature change for the Contiguous

United States, or Lower 48. Both GISS and NCDC have been

criticized for their station selections and the protocols they use for

NEWPROPAGANDAFILM FAILS THEACIDTEST OF REALWORLD DATA

by SPPI & Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide

and Global Change | 05 January 2010

First, they called it global warming. Then they noticed there hadbeen no warming for 15 years, and cooling for 9, so they hastily

renamed it climate change. Then they noticed the climate was

changing no more than it ever had, so they tried energy security,

and even named a Congressional Bill after it. Then they noticed that

most Western nations already had bountiful energy security, in the

form of vast, untapped domestic supplies of oil, gas, coal, or all

three, so they switched to ocean acidification. This is the new

phantasmagoric for the tired, old scare whipped up by the NRDC

and the environmental extremist movement for their own profit at our expense. The worlds corals, they

tell us, will be eaten away by the acidified ocean within not more than ten years hence. Shellfish will be

no more, their calcified carapaces and exoskeletons dissolved by the carbonic acid caused by our

burning of fossil fuels. The oceans will die. Sound familiar? Yet, as Dr. Craig Idso here demonstrates, thescientific consensus if science were done by consensus at all, which it is not is that the rising ocean

acidification scare is just more piffle.

AN OPEN LETTER TOAUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTERRUDDby the Viscount Monckton of Brenchley | 04 January 2010

Shortly before the Copenhagen Climate Conference, the Prime

Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd, delivered a canting, 45-minute

rant about the Denialists, Climate Change Deniers, and

Skeptics who, he said, were entirely funded by special interests

and who were now so dangerous that they were putting Our

Planets Future And The Future Of Our Children And Our

Grandchildren in jeopardy. Kevin Rudd seems not to like me very

much: he mentioned me by name six times in the speech, in

generally uncomplimentary terms. I was too busy to reply to him

before Jokenhagen, but, since I shall be travelling to Australia in acouple of weeks for a barnstorming three-week lecture-tour (watch

this space for dates and venues), I thought it was time to reply to

Mr. Rudd. On New Years Day I sent him the following letter, but I

am not holding my breath for a reply. The unanswerable is seldom

answered.

AMERICA'S RULING CLASS AND THEPERILS OF REVOLUTION

by Angelo M. Codevilla | 21 July 2010

Once an official or professional shows that he shares the manners,

the tastes, the interests of the class, gives lip service to its ideals and

shibboleths, and is willing to accommodate the interests of its senior

members, he can move profitably among our establishment's parts.

If, for example, you are Laurence Tribe in 1984, Harvard professor of

law, leftist pillar of the establishment, you can "write" your magnum

opus by using the products of your student assistant, Ron Klain. A

decade later, after Klain admits to having written some parts of the

book, and the other parts are found to be verbatim or paraphrases

of a book published in 1974, you can claim (perhaps correctly) that your plagiarism was "inadvertent,"and you can count on the Law School's dean, Elena Kagan, to appoint a committee including former and

future Harvard president Derek Bok that issues a secret report that "closes" the incident. Incidentally,

Kagan ends up a justice of the Supreme Court. Not one of these people did their jobs: the professor did

not write the book himself, the assistant plagiarized instead of researching, the dean and the committee

did not hold the professor accountable, and all ended up rewarded. By contrast, for example, learned

papers and distinguished careers in climatology at MIT (Richard Lindzen) or UVA (S. Fred Singer) are not

enough for their questions about "global warming" to be taken seriously. For our ruling class, identity

always trumps.

ACCESSING ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONRELATING TO CLIMATE CHANGE:

ACASE STUDY UNDERUKFREEDOM OFINFORMATION LEGISLATION

by John Abbot and Jennifer Marohasy | 15 July 2010

The UK Freedom of Information Act (FoIA) and the

Environmental Information Regulations (EIRs) are intended toprovide a mechanism whereby information held by public

authorities can be accessed by the public. The House of

Commons Science and Technology Committee recently

considered the disclosure of information from the Climatic

Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia and concluded that e-mails revealed

scientists encouraged colleagues to resist disclosure and delete e-mails, apparently to prevent

disclosure through FoI requests. The case study presented here focuses on requests under FoI

legislation to obtain climate information from the Met Office, particularly relating to

assessments of global warming and causal relationships with greenhouse gas emissions.

Evidence suggests both the CRU and the Met Office are part of a culture where institutional

climate scientists are antagonistic towards disclosure of information. This has serious

implications for both the effective operation of FoI legislation and the openness and

transparency of climate change assessments.

CLOUDING THE TRUTH:ACRITIQUE OF MERCHANTS OF DOUBT

by William O'Keefe and Jeff Kueter | 13 July 2010

The book Merchants of Doubt, written by Naomi Oreskes and Erik

Conway, ostensibly provides insight and understanding about the

challenge to the climate science orthodoxy. Although cloaked in

the appearance of scholarly work, the book constitutes an effort to

discredit and undermine the reputations of three deceased

scientists who contributed greatly to our nation. These men were

accomplished scientists, leaders of universities and major research

organizations, advisers to government, and the founders of the

George C. Marshall Institute. This book questions their integrity,

impugns their character, and

questions their judgment on

the basis of little more than faulty logic and preconceived opinion.

EARLYCLIMATE CHANGE CONSENSUSAT THE NATIONALACADEMY...

by N. Nierenberg, W. Tschinkel & V. Tschinkel | 06 July 2010

The 1983 National Academy of Sciences report entitled Changing

Climate, authored by a committee of physical and social scientists

chaired by William Nierenberg, was an early comprehensive review of

the effects of human-caused increases in the levels of atmospheric CO2.

Study of the events surrounding the committees creation, deliberations,

and subsequent report demonstrates that the conclusions of the reportwere the consensus of the entire committee and in line with the

scientific consensus of the time. This result contraverts a 2008 paper in

which Naomi Oreskes, Erik M. Conway, and Matthew Shindell asserted

that the report contradicted a growing consensus about climate change,

and that Nierenberg for political reasons deliberately altered the

summary and conclusions of the report in a way that played down the concerns of the other physical

OUT IN THEAMA-ZONEby Willis Eschenbach | 04 July 2010

There have been lots of articles lately discussing the retraction

by the UK Sunday Times of their claims about Amazongate.

Folks like George Monbiot are claiming that their point of view

has been vindicated, that Amazongate is rubbish and that

skeptics have been skewered. So I decided to follow the

tortuous trail through the Amazon jungle, to see where the

truth lies.

SUBSIDIZING CO2EMISSIONSVIAWIND-POWER: THE ULTIMATE IRONY

by Kent Hawkins | 16 June 2010

It is the irony of ironies. Taxpayer and ratepayer-forced

subsidies for utility-scale wind-power also subsidizes emissions

of carbon dioxide (CO2). The same would be true under a

national renewable portfolio standard as proposed in pending

federal legislation.

EPAENDANGERMENT SHOWDOWN:SHOULDCONGRESS HEED RUSSELL TRAINSADVICE?

by Marlo Lewis | 05 June 2010

On June 10, the U.S. Senate will debate and vote on a resolution of

disapproval (S.J.Res.26), sponsored by Republican Senator LisaMurkowski of Alaska, to stop the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency from enacting controversial global warming policies through

the regulatory back door. S.J.Res.26 would overturn the EPAs

endangerment finding, a December 2009 rulemaking in which the

agency concluded that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public

health and welfare. The endangerment finding is both trigger and

precedent for sweeping policy changes Congress never approved.

America could end up with a bundle of greenhouse gas regulations

more costly and intrusive than any climate bill or treaty the Senate has declined to pass or ratify, yet

without the peoples representatives ever voting on it.

EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR ACELESTIAL ORIGIN OF THECLIMATE OSCILLATIONS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS

by Nicola Scafetta | 05 June 2010

We investigate whether or not the decadal and multi-decadal climate oscillations have an astronomical

origin. Several global surface temperature records since 1850 and records deduced from the orbits of

the planets present very similar power spectra. Eleven frequencieswith period between 5 and 100 years closely correspond in the two

records. Among them, large climate oscillations with peak-to-trough

amplitude of about 0.1 oC and 0.25 oC, and periods of about 20 and

60 years, respectively, are synchronized to the orbital periods of

Jupiter and Saturn. Schwabe and Hale solar cycles are also visible in

the temperature records. A 9.1-year cycle is synchronized to the

Moons orbital cycles. A phenomenological model based on these

astronomical cycles can be used to well reconstruct the temperature

oscillations since 1850 and to make partial forecasts for the 21st

century. It is found that at least 60% of the global warming observed

since 1970 has been induced by the combined effect of the above

natural climate oscillations. The partial forecast indicates that

climate may stabilize or cool until 2030-2040. Possible physical

mechanisms are qualitatively discussed with an emphasis on the

phenomenon of collective synchronization of coupled oscillators.

OVERTURNING EPA'S ENDANGERMENTIS ACONSTITUTIONAL IMPERATIVEby George Allen and Marlo Lewis | 24 May 2010

To restore the constitutional separation of powers and

democratic accountability, Congress must overturn EPAsendangerment finding. S. J. Res. 26, a resolution of disapproval,

introduced by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), under the

PRIME MINISTER'S CHIEF SCIENCEADVISER AND CLIMATE CHANGEby Barry Brill | 04 May 2010

In creating the position of Chief Science Adviser (CSA) in May

2009, the Prime Minister commented that this role is one of

vital importance that demands not only a high level of science

expertise, but also the utmost integrity to fairly represent the

state of science knowledge. There is no detailed job

description, nor any body of precedent, to assist in defining theboundaries of the new position. However, it is clear enough

that the role does not extend beyond science and that heavy

reliance is placed upon the personal expertise of the

incumbent.
