Strong Negative Feedback from the Latest CERES Radiation Budget Measurements Over the Global Oceans By Dr. Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. Discussion and blog at Watts Up With That, 2008 "Best Science Blog" award winning site...

For those who don't know, "Skeptical Science" is a website that deals with the various GW-skeptic & denial claims (it's good for both, because some people are genuinely skeptical of GW while others merely deny it out of ideology). This seems like a growing trend... deniers seem to be resorting...

Post your warmer lies, propaganda and exaggerations here folks Here's a couple to get things going. TWO government advertisements that use nursery rhymes to warn people of the dangers of climate change have been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for exaggerating the...

Why is there such polarisation / correlation between political leaning and opinion on climate change? To the extent that knowing somebody's political stance is a remarkably good predictor of their stance on global warming? The only half-decent explanation I have seen is the affect heuristic...

I think it would be interesting to ask those who voted in the other poll http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167746 that human CO2 CAN affect climate whether they regard themselves as "denialists" or "warmers" (using terms that seem to carry the same mildly pejorative...

I voted for Option A

I just wanted to pass along a great website - ClimateGate - Anthropogenic Global Warming - History's Biggest Scam - which is an index of common claims against Climategate and effective counter-arguments. This is very similar in format to the famous Index to Creationist Claims by Talk...

I just wanted to pass along a great website - Skeptical Science: Examining Global Warming Skepticism - which is an index of common claims against GW and effective counter-arguments. This is very similar in format to the famous Index to Creationist Claims by Talk Origins. There's even a free...

Let's face it. It's time to talk about the elephant in the room. Finally. It's been covered extensively in mainstream media across the world in the past couple of weeks. Now the highly reluctant and shamed American mainstream media has no choice but to start to report on it. Extraordinary...

We have been gored by Gore! Strange case of moving weather posts and a scientist under siege http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/feb/01/dispute-weather-fraud …..It is well-known that the concrete, bricks and asphalt of urban areas absorb more heat than the countryside. They result in...

Lately many folk here and elsewhere have been going on and on about how the recent cold snap "proves that global warming is false" and that "the Earth is cooling". Well, here north of Chicago we've fallen victim to that nasty cold snap - record breaking cold temperatures have been pounding us...

What do you found your scepticism regarding AGW on? :covereyes AGW=Anthropogenic Global Warning=Manmade Global Warming I am myself probably one of the most sceptical persons alive but i find that it is very likely that manmade global warming is a fact, and i'll tell you why i lean towards that...

A happy New Year to all 27 of Michael Mann's colleagues, who have received this fine letter. In the US, whistleblowers can receive large sums of money whether or not a prosecution occurs. Of course this post having to do with scientific fraud needs to be in .... hmmm.... well the Science...

Hmm.... http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2009/2009GL040613.shtml Despite the predictions of coupled climate-carbon cycle models, no trend in the airborne fraction can be found. This study re-examines the available atmospheric CO2 and emissions data including their...

In reading and contributing in other posts, a thought came to me. I remember reading some of Janis some years ago and wondered whether the currect AGW phenomenon is another large example of the groupthink phenomenon. It certainly appears to have all the traits - or minor variations therein...

Does anyone else have a problem with this? In short, climate scientists created Realclimate (no surprise there) for their self indulgence, mutual ego stroking and selective science, but then placed a staff member on to write or rewrite (hijack?) over 5000 Wikipedia articles on climate science...

As sceptics we seek the truth, we consider evidence without prejudice. We have no predetermined opinions. The internet has filled our lives with information, but not necessarily with facts. The truth is out there, somewhere, but often hidden in a sea of opinions and rhetoric. So what can we do...

A cap on plane travel for airlines has been talked about, but that would presumably just jack up the price of travel. What do you think of a cap on the amount a single individual can fly per annum? By the way, this is in relation to AGW, if you thought I just wanted to deny travel for kicks.

Coepnhagen appears to have failed to set any realistic, achievable and binding targets from much of what I read and heard today. Agreements appear to be mere lip service rather than anything meaningful. Assuming for the moment this is the case, what does that say about about the opinions of...

Why do environmental activists continue talking about the danger of increasing global warming effects even though it's been proven that the data that showed that since 2000 there has not been any evidence to suggest an increase in temperature (Even the BBC wrote this), and that conclusive...

Just in: 22% of the Dutch population do not believe in man-made global warming. I realise that AGW is a complex problem and there is a discussion about the validity of the theory. But there seems to be a strong trend of believing it is faked by the elite or something and this takes it into CT...

It seems to me that almost all librarians agree that AGW is real and that climate change is a very important issue. Why is this? Is it perhaps because librarians are trained to judge the validity of their sources on scientific matters?

Is the goal of the Copenhagen climate change conference to halt and lower the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, or is it an effort to exact a measure of social justice on wealthy nations to redistribute wealth to the rest? The question arises because the math is quite clear: humans, according to...

From Global Research; "As I have previously shown, speculative derivatives (especially credit default swaps) are a primary cause of the economic crisis. And I have pointed out that (1) the giant banks will make a killing on carbon trading, (2) while the leading scientist crusading against...

How do CO2 emissions correlate with happiness, both at a personal and national level? If substantial limits are placed on CO2 emissions, do you think will it have a net positive or negative impact on your lifestyle? In the long run, which populations will suffer and which will gain?

How exactly do Libertarians square their theory of Government with the march of AGW? Is the free market relied on to deliver us from disaster?

Found this http://clivecrook.theatlantic.com/archives/2009/11/more_on_climategate.php Clive Crook on climategate, a few extracted comments as follows: "The stink of intellectual corruption is overpowering." ...plain statistical incompetence.." "And these guys call the other side...

I really dislike the term climategate when referring to the hacked emails and fallout from same Can we find a better name? Whilst at it, some better terms for warmers would be appreciated also.
