Al Gore Admits Errors in Climate Claims

Bad Hog — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 20:35:00 GMT

Newsmax Former Vice President Al Gore admits that mistakes have been made by the scientific community regarding the issue of climate change. In an op-ed piece for The New York Times, Gore said: "It is true that the climate panel published a flawed overestimate of the melting rate of debris-covered glaciers in the Himalayas, and used information about the Netherlands provided to it by the government, which was later found to be partly inaccurate. In addition, e-mail messages stolen from the University...(read more)

Climate scientists withdraw journal claims of rising sea levels

UK Mail Online Data for vital 'hockey stick graph' has gone missing There has been no global warming since 1995 Warming periods have happened before - but NOT due to man-made changes The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information. Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the...(read more)

#CLIMATEGATE - World may not be warming, say scientists

Bad Hog — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 15:25:00 GMT

Times Online The United Nations climate panel faces a new challenge with scientists casting doubt on its claim that global temperatures are rising inexorably because of human pollution. In its last assessment the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the evidence that the world was warming was “unequivocal”. It warned that greenhouse gases had already heated the world by 0.7C and that there could be 5C-6C more warming by 2100, with devastating impacts on humanity and wildlife. However,...(read more)

Christopher Monckton: Dense fog in Copenhagen

From Christopher Monckton of Brenchley: Copenhagen, 7 December 2009 The opening day of the largest international conference ever held has dawned with dense, wet fog blanketing the city of Copenhagen – a metaphor for the two weeks of obnubilation, obfuscation, and obscurantism that are upon us. Copenhagen is usually a beautiful city, but it has been disfigured by mawkish Green propaganda exhibits in every public place, reminiscent of the Nazi propaganda that dismally blanketed the city during World...(read more)

UN Climate Treaty: A Sneak Attack on Humanity

Bad Hog — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 03:34:00 GMT

By Alan Caruba It’s ironic that the United Nations Conference on Climate Change began on December 7th. For an aging portion of the U.S. population, December 7, 1941 will always mark the Japanese Empire’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. It drew the U.S. into World War Two. Humanity has been threatened for decades by the effort of the United Nations, through its environmental program in general and its Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in particular, to impose an international treaty that...(read more)

Understanding Climategate's Hidden Decline

By Marc Sheppard Close followers of the Climategate controversy know that much of the mêlée surrounds an email in which Climate Research Unit (CRU) chief Phil Jones wrote about using “Mike’s Nature Trick” (MNT) to “hide the decline.” And yet, 17 days and thousands of almost exclusively on-line op-eds into this scandal, it still seems very few understand exactly which “decline” was being hidden, what “trick” was used to do so, and why Jones’s words have become the slogan for the greatest scientific...(read more)

Alaskan Glaciers Grow for First Time in 250 years

Bad Hog — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 05:18:00 GMT

High snowfall and cold weather to blame. A bitterly cold Alaskan summer has had surprising results. For the first time in the area's recorded history, area glaciers have begun to expand, rather than shrink. Summer temperatures, which were some 3 degrees below average, allowed record levels of winter snow to remain much longer, leading to the increase in glacial mass. "In mid-June, I was surprised to see snow still at sea level in Prince William Sound", said glaciologist Bruce Molnia. "In general,...(read more)
