Apparently, some people know no boundaries for indecency. Take Joseph Romm for instance. Romm, a former member of the Clinton administration, claimed Monday that global warming might have played a factor in the collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis last week.

The “Unruly Sunne” cannot be ruled out as a Cause of Recent Climate Variation Print E-mail
Written by SPPI   
Thursday, 09 August 2007

On July 10, 2007, the Royal Society, one of the oldest scientific institutions in the world, published Recent oppositely-directed trends in solar climate forcings and the global mean surface air temperature by Lockwood and Frohlich . In the web-page of the journal (Fig. 1), the Society calls the paper “The truth about global warming!” and says, “The sun is not a factor in recent climate change!”

The Role of Greenland in Sea Level Rise: A Summary of the Current Literature Print E-mail

"Hence, we can be thankful that whatever the rest of the Northern Hemisphere may be doing, the part that holds the lion's share of the hemisphere's ice has been cooling for the past half-century, and at a very significant rate, making it ever more unlikely that its horde of frozen water will be released to the world's oceans to raise havoc with global sea level any time soon."

Polar bears of western Hudson Bay and climate change Print E-mail
Written by M.G. Dyck, W. Soon, R.K. Baydack, D.R. Legates, S. Baliunas, T.F. Ball, L.O. Hancock   
Tuesday, 24 July 2007

Abstract

Long-term warming of late spring (April–June) air temperatures has been proposed by Stirling et al. [Stirling, I., Lunn, N.J., Iacozza, J., 1999. Long-term trends in the population ecology of polar bears in western Hudson Bay in relation to climatic change. Arctic 52, 294–306] as the ‘‘ultimate’’ factor causing earlier sea-ice break-up around western Hudson Bay (WH) that has, in turn, led to the poorer physical and reproductive characteristics of polar bears occupying this region.

Shining More Light on the Solar Factor: A discussion of Problems with the Royal Society Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Joseph D’Aleo   
Friday, 20 July 2007

When Lockwood and Froehlich go on to say that the intensification of solar activity seen in the past hundred years has now ended, we don't disagree with that. We part company only when they say that temperatures have gone on shooting up, so that the recent rise can't have anything to do with the Sun, or with cosmic rays modulated by the Sun.

The Myth of Dangerous Human Caused Climate Change Print E-mail

Whether dangerous human-caused climate change is a fact, possibly a fact or a fabrication depends on who you choose to believe. Many of us line up somewhere between probable and possible on this spectrum.

Errors in Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth Print E-mail
Written by Viscount Monckton of Brenchley   
Thursday, 19 July 2007
Introduction: A cursory examination of the list of Gore’s errors is enough to demonstrate that each of them serves to magnify the supposed planetary threat posed by “global warming”, or to pour scorn and contempt on any who dare to gainsay the supposed “consensus”. Therefore we must conclude that Gore’s movie was not science: it was sophisticated propaganda that relied upon the ignorance of his cinema-going audiences and the fawning acquiescence of news media whose editorial and political predisposition was in any event in favor of presenting his Apocalyptic version of climate change regardless of the fact that at so many points central to his argument his presentation was fundamentally false.

“Consensus”? What “Consensus”?Among Climate Scientists, The Debate Is Not Over Print E-mail
Written by Viscount Monckton of Brenchley   
Thursday, 19 July 2007

Abstract

It is often said that there is a scientific “consensus” to the effect that climate change will be “catastrophic” and that, on this question, “the debate is over”. The present paper will demonstrate that the claim of unanimous scientific “consensus” was false, and known to be false, when it was first made; that the trend of opinion in the peer-reviewed journals and even in the UN’s reports on climate is moving rapidly away from alarmism; that, among climate scientists, the debate on the causes and extent of climate change is by no means over; and that the evidence in the peer-reviewed literature conclusively demonstrates that, to the extent that there is a “consensus”, that “consensus” does not endorse the notion of “catastrophic” climate change.

After a much publicized rapid retreat during the period 2002 through 2005, Greenland’s Helheim glacier,
has stabilized and begun advancing. The restabilization of the Helheim glacier alone could be responsible
for a reduction in excess of 10 percent of the current mass loss from Greenland.

The June 11th issue of the U.K.’s The Independent contained a story written by Andrew Gumble titled “The Wrath of 2007: America’s great drought.” The story leads “America is facing its worst summer drought since the Dust Bowl years of the Great Depression. Or perhaps worse still.”

Or, more accurately, perhaps not.

SIR JOHN HOUGHTON, who was co-chairman of the IPCC Scientific Assessment working group from 1988 to 2002, and Director General of the UK Meteorological Office from 1983 to 1991 has recently posted on the Web a blog attacking The Great Global Warming Swindle, a programme broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK on 8 and 12 March 2007. Sir John’s attack was inaccurate and unfair. The offending passages are here presented seriatim, with explanations of Sir John’s many mistakes in each passage.

Why Has “Global Warming” Become Such A Passionate Subject? Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu   
Tuesday, 30 November 1999

The new IPCC Report (2007) states, on page 10, “Most observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.” Their great effort in making progress in climate change science is certainly commended.
