The Utah State Legislature produced HJR 12, calling for the EPA to substantiate its claims about carbon dioxide. It’s the most obvious of statements, so mundane it shouldn’t even be necessary. How, you wonder, could any scientist complain about that? (What is science if its claims are not substantiated?) Nonetheless, the Utah Legislature have been criticized (and twice)… Read More »
In an interview and paper published in 21st Century in 2007, I have shown that global sea level is not in an alarming rising mode, which is the main threat in the International Panel on Climate Change scenario.
In view of the rejection by the EPA of challenges to their endangerment finding, why would we be surprised to find that they have a long-term stake in the IPCC’s climate models and in the continuance of the IPCC itself.
Whilst everyone has been occupied with EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson’s defense before Congress of the EPA’s attempts to regulate CO2 emissions, the Administration has continued to move towards International Ocean Governance with the establishment of a Governance Coordinating Committee for the National Ocean Council, (NOC). The NOC has been long in the making and earlier history of Ocean… Read More »
America urgently needs a rational energy policy. Such a policy should be based upon economics and reliability, yet options favored by our current government provide no real solutions to meeting future energy needs in a responsible and cost effective way. Science & Public Policy’s readers are aware of the abundant empirical evidence that the earth’s climate is predominantly… Read More »
Global Warming: How to approach the science. Richard S. Lindzen Program in Atmospheres, Oceans, and Climate Massachusetts Institute of Technology Testimony: House Subcommittee on Science and Technology hearing on A Rational Discussion of Climate Change: the Science, the Evidence, the Response November 17, 2010
Summary: A new paper from a group of IPCC authors in conjunction with the re-insurance industry, now claim they have found the Holy Grail; they can definitely say that the year 2000 floods in the British Isles were made worse by global human CO2 emissions and they imply that they can make this attribution for any event in… Read More »
Summary: For good or ill, climate has grown to become a central issue over these decades. Claiming that people are poor and helpless beginners who need experts to think for them is years past its best before date. But this claim is just great if you believe that only an elite is capable of making intelligent decisions and… Read More »
Dan intriguing article regarding the influence of the number of stations on the global temperature measurement has been written by Ross McKitrick and published on his website here: http://www.uoguelph.ca/~rmckitri/research/nvst.html. Looking at his graph, the eye is instantly drawn to the apparent correlation between the stations and temperature. There is a huge step in the raw mean temperatures around… Read More »
Dr. James Hansen of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) has announced that 2010 was the “hottest year on record” – by 0.01 degrees. His claim has been widely touted in the press as strong evidence that the climate is rapidly heating – due to human generated CO2 emissions. Dr. Hansen has also stated: “I would not… Read More »
