Dear readers, thanks very much for visiting Climate Debate Daily over the last nine years.

We hope it has been interesting! Sadly, the time has come to close the website down. Huge thanks to Peter Farrell, the website's funder since its inception. Peter is a climate change sceptic. The aim of Climate Debate Daily has always been to put the two sides next to each other and let readers decide for themselves which side is strongest.

Has the website been a success? It is hard to be sure, but our impression, based on reader feedback, is that it hasn't.

Few, if any, minds have been changed, in either direction. For the record, none of the three editors of the website have been in the least bit persuaded by the climate sceptics' arguments despite the many hundreds of hours we have spent reading them. We note that after the website started its life on January 1,new global temperature records were set in,andand that a new record for the Arctic sea ice area minimum was set in and almost matched in These, however, are not the sorts of facts that will change minds!

Climate Debate Daily is intended to deepen our understanding of disputes over climate change and the human contribution to it. The site links to scientific articles, news stories, economic studies, polemics, historical articles, PR releases, editorials, feature commentaries, and blog entries. The main column on the left includes arguments and evidence generally in support of the IPCC position on the reality of signficant anthropogenic global warming.

The right-hand column includes material skeptical of the IPCC position and the notion that anthropogenic global warming represents a genuine threat to humanity.

Many sites on the Internet, including some of those listed at the far left of the page, take firm views for or against the threat of anthropogenic global warming. As a matter of editorial policy, Climate Debate Daily maintains a studied neutrality, allowing each side to present its most powerful and persuasive case. Our object is to allow readers to form their own judgments based on the best available information. Climate Debate Daily offers new material at the tops of its main columns six days a week.

Many links, especially those to news periodicals, have limited shelf life, and we urge readers to save or print out contributions they regard as important. Although links are eventually transferred to our Archive pages, we retain no copies of material linked to here. Items removed from Climate Debate Daily can be found in our Archiveour Archiveour Archiveour Archiveour Archiveour Archiveour Archive and in our Archive.

We welcome reader suggestions for links to include on Climate Debate Daily. Please send them here. On questions of what ultimately goes onto the page, the editors' decisions are final. The editors are keen to be informed when readers notice errors or dud links on the page. Please let us know here. Patrick Whittle and Douglas Campbell. Patrick Whittle is completing a PhD in political philosophy at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.

His research into the social and political implications of Darwinian theory touches upon many disciplines, including anthropology, biology, human history and pre-history, economics and psychology, as well as social and political theory. His latest paper, "Health, Inequality and the Politics of Genes", in the New Zealand Medical Journalindicates the range of his academic interests.

Before returning to academia, initially gaining a Masters degree in linguistics, Patrick was an officer in the New Zealand Army. He has lived and worked as a teacher in the Middle East, and as a newspaper journalist and a sub-editor in New Zealand.

Patrick accepts that there is solid evidence for anthropogenic global warming, but is skeptical of many of the political proposals for remedying its possible impact. While he is a keen mountain runner and a passionate cycle commuter, Patrick does acknowledge that there is a place in the world for cars. It's called the garage! Douglas Campbell has a PhD in philosophy from the University of Arizona and is a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.

He has degrees in computer science and biology, and has worked as a wildlife ranger with endangered species in New Zealand. His areas of philosophical expertise include logic and the philosophy of science. He is impressed by the breadth and depth of the scientific evidence supporting the theory of anthropogenic global warming, and thinks that to the extent that the science remains uncertain the Precautionary Principle still justifies even relatively costly mitigation measures.

Like Patrick Whittle he is, however, open to being led by logic and good evidence to whatever the truth may be. His optimistic hope is that Climate Debate Daily will help focus minds on the very best arguments from both sides of the debate and help put the poor arguments of which there are many!

Climate Debate Daily is an independent website which began its life on the internet on January 1, It came into being after Doug Campbell and the University of Canterbury's Professor Denis Dutton had a spirited but friendly argument about climate change in the philosophy department's tea room, which resulted in a decision to set up a site dedicated to fairly presenting both sides of the issue. Professor Dutton, who was skeptical about the degree to which human activity has contributed to the general warming trend that began in the s, remained an active editor of Climate Debate Daily until late Climate Debate Daily has no financial or institutional connection with the University of Canterbury.

It is generously supported by a grant from Dr. Peter Farrell of ResMed Corp.

The property owners' message was simple: How did the soils of the drylands suffer in response to the concomitant increase in the atmosphere's CO2 concentration? Could you possibly believe not at all? Read on to see the real results If there is one area of climate prediction which demonstrates how disconnected from evidence climate science has become, it is tattered predictions that climate might cause food shortages A new study of the subject suggests that prior concerns about the presumed negative consequences of atmospheric CO2 enrichment may not occur in the case of certain juvenile oysters Massively wealthy climate fear prophet and green government subsidy profiteer Al Gore finally has something real to be alarmed about.

And yes, it's quite the opposite of rising sea levels New research by Dr. Roger Bezdek shows that excessive groundwater pumping, not manmade global warming, is the primary cause of subsidence in coastal areas studied Donald Trump's opposition to the global warming alarm is a refreshing change from the Obama Administration's naive and hugely expensive crusade to lead the world to save the climate Uncertainties associated with climate engineering are too great for it to provide an alternative to the rapid reduction of greenhouse gas emissions According to the latest international comparison, Australian kids are falling further behind, despite ever-larger sums of taxpayer cash being poured into the Chalk-Industrial Complex Larvae and pupae reared in elevated CO2 conditions showed lower fitness, including increased mortality, reduced pupal weight, and, in multiple generations, longer development times EPA celebrated its 46th anniversary Friday, just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump likely takes the agency in a totally different direction Green outrage is growing that Congress tweeted a link to an article by James Delingpole, which details how global average land temperature has just crashed by 1C While searching through historical archives to find out more about the 15th-century climate of what is now Belgium, northern France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, Chantal Camenisch noticed sth odd Until natural variability is properly replicated in OA experiments, the response of marine life to future declines in oceanic pH must be taken with a large grain of salt A meta-analysis reveals a positive relationship between the two variables that is enhanced the longer the duration of CO2 enrichment is applied Ever since the elections, our media, schools, workplaces, and houses of worship have presented stories showcasing the stages of grief: Sometimes, you just have to laugh.

In the rush to become politically correct and green, some companies really don't think their policies through very well Barack Obama saw the Paris Agreement as the keystone of a lustrous legacy but, like so many of his less-than-glittering achievements, the Trump victory has confounded that ambition Salon has helpfully provided Americans with a list of Federal climate budget cuts which can be applied on day one of the new Trump administration Although much has been accomplished since the early efforts of the s, modern models of tropical cyclones are still nowhere near where they need to be in order to be of much worth Secretary of State John Kerry took his last official trip to Antarctica, to try to cool down the Trump phenomenon that is threatening the wealth and power of the UN and worldwide climate alarm industry And they will likely be able to do it better and better, as the atmosphere's CO2 concentration continues to rise and enhance their productivity Interactive brokers forex charts UN climate talks in Marrakesh, Morocco, finished with demands for more climate cash, and pleas for incoming President Donald Trump to keep the U.

Yet since the EPA has failed to acknowledge erroneous ozone measurements biased upward by mercury vapor and other interference President-elect Donald Trump is not a "climate denier". He has never denied the climate. To my knowledge, no AGW skeptic has ever denied the climate Trump has promised to cut the EPA, scrap the Paris climate treaty and rollback rules holding back U. As part of the push for Leonardo DiCaprio's new climate documentary, created in cooperation with National Geographic, producers released a top ten list of ' climate deniers ' There is yet hope that America will choose to capitalize on its massive energy reosurces and keep energy costs down to facilitate competitiveness on the world stage Environmental activists and government bureaucracies are today shameless as they falsify documents, hide how to make money hauling junk cars, mislead and obfuscate as they collude to fabricate a case against glyphosate The formation of sulfur dioxide from the oxidation of dimethyl sulfide DMS and, thus, of cooling clouds over the oceans seems to be overvalued in current climate models The Weather Channel released a video featuring kids lecturing their parents about global warming.

How much should we believe children understand about the complexities of climate science? Global warming ranks dead last among a host of important issues that people across the world worry about, according to a yearly survey conducted by the United Nations The weekend ratings are out, and they aren't good news for Leonardo DiCaprio's Global Warming Epic 'Before the Flood'. Ironically, the kids show 'Bubble Guppies' beat it at no.

But is this really the case? They're at it again. The UN is gearing up once again to convene a major gathering for the purpose of micro-managing our lives.

This one is set for next week in South America From the AMERICAN THORACIC SOCIETY and the "consensus is the same as data" department comes this eyeroller of a claim that seems to confuse climate, real air pollution, and weather In the wake of his failed " ice free " prediction, Dr. Peter Wadhams has spoken up, claiming most scientists are frightened to speak up about the climate crisis Veteran meteorologist and Weather Channel founder John Coleman has been following Hurricane Matthew and has a message for environmentalists linking the storm to global warming.

It's not, he says A new study suggests that outbreaks of vegetation-devouring insects can actually promote something as beneficial as the reduction of the severity of regional forest fires Ryan Maue noted that the GFS model started to act a bit loopy when it came to forecasting the track of Hurricane Matthew.

Certain climate modelers suggest that many plants are currently at the thermal limits of their geographical ranges, when studies such as the one reviewed here suggest otherwise When the weather gets hot each year, coffee plants get by with a little help from their friends, one of the best of which is the ongoing rise in the atmosphere's CO2 concentration A study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research claims that global warming is the root cause of recent spate of cold winters in the Eastern United States.

It isn't just climate change where we see blunders being made daily, the mistakes made by some of history's greatest scientists are often useful, and they learned from them It's been a little over four years since an "Arctic expert" claimed the North Pole would be ice-free by the summer of In terms of both annual and multi-centennial timeframes, what occurs on the sun has significant impacts on both the occurrence and nature of floods here on earth Since hitting its earliest minimum extent sinceArctic sea ice has been expanding at a phenomenal rate.

It is the fourth highest extent in the last ten years Barack Obama has no intention of going quietly into the night. Canadians loved " Climate Hustle " in Alberta, they are tired of expensive climate policies that enrich a few and do nothing meaningful for the environment One of the major concerns about global warming is the fear that rising temperatures will cause an acceleration of sea level rise.

Experimentation is a major tool in the scientist's arsenal. We can put the same strain of bacteria into two Petri dishes, for example, and compare the relative effects of two different antibiotics The latest posting of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature is for Wheat Clearly, global warming, if it how do audio engineers make money turns out to be as dramatic as it is often predicted to be, may actually turn out to be a benefit to a number of different animals, one type of which is butterflies The planet is doomed unless humans achieve zero net "carbon" emissions within 40 years and maybe even if we do.

That's the word from the Stockholm Resilience Centre Erin Brockovich became rich and famous by promoting the notion that people in Hinkley, CA, got cancer because of hexavalent chromium Chromium-6 in drinking water The latest posting of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature is for Maize Everyone knows that before the global warming scare began in the s, scientists were much more worried about global cooling and the coming ice age Climate alarmists are quick to claim that global warming will bring more deaths to people living in relatively warm environments than in colder regions, but the truth of the matter is just the opposite While the anti-fracking crowd snarkily sought to blame hydraulic fracturing for the recent Oklahoma earthquake, the truth is that wastewater injection wells are the much more likely culpritnot fracking Warmists have no need for sacramental confession to expiate the sins of their wild inaccuracies and habitually incorrect prophecies.

They make up new "facts" and keep grants rolling in It wasn't just BLMUK's glaring diversity problem what, no black faces? After all the time and money that has gone into the enterprise, almost everyone is still asking the age-old question: Are we there yet?

But you know what they say about the best-laid plans of mice and men Contrary to alarmist expectationsrising temperatures and ongoing habitat disturbances have not negatively impacted bird abundances on Mt. As stubborn facts ruin their narrative that neonicotinoid pesticides are causing a honeybee-pocalypse, environmental pressure groups are shifting to new scares to justify their demands for "neonic" bans From Princeton University and the "it's not a lie, if you believe it" department comes this laughable study.

Opinion is not hurricane data, and opinion doesn't trump physical measurement A four-year FACE study reveals a stimulatory effect of atmospheric CO2 enrichment on these two crops under both ambient and elevated temperature conditions Coral reefs inconveniently bounced back and are bursting with color and life.

Corals are extremely old species. Coral thrived at far higher temperature and CO2 concentrations than anything we see today A study sheds light on the surprising role that haze in China plays in promoting the urban heat island effect, a process whereby city centers tend to be significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas Socio-economic and land use factors are more than capable of compensating for unfavorable changes in climate that can lead to malaria transmission and outbreaks The warning signs have been there for some time now, persistent failures of the wheat crop in Norway for example.

The North Atlantic is cooling. The cooling trend was evident Some of the seas' tiniest bottom-dwelling organisms are not harmed by increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Quite to the contrary, in fact, they are actually enriched by it A new FACE study reveals another significant benefit of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations for plants growing in phosphorus-limiting soils The latest result of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature is for Quinoa Most what we are expected to believe about climate change is presented by the media, which makes '60Minutes' worth noting but for the gullible vacuity of reporters and producers who should know better America will be " tantalizingly close " to being energy independent by the yearaccording to analysts at the Raymond James RJ investment firm A commentary published in Nature has claimed that careless human exploitation of natural resources poses a far greater threat to endangered species than climate change It would appear that the more the trees are exposed to greater-than-current atmospheric CO2 concentrations and temperatures, the more they are able to make better use of limited water supplies Donald Trump recently said he supports giving local communities control over hydraulic fracturing.

Imagine being a pro-coal activist, or a climate sceptic, for that matter, and enjoying open access to Australia's schools. But if you're pushing Oxfam's green myths China is getting way ahead of America in nuclear power, according to a study published Monday in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT Technology Review Air temperature and precipitation, in the words of Chattopadhyay and Edwardsare "two of the most important variables in the fields of climate sciences and hydrology" Here is a beautifully simple and elegant demonstration that IPCC has at least doubled true climate sensitivity, turning a non-problem into a wolf-criers' crisis How well have the models done in their "predicting" of the past?

One might assume quite well. But in doing so, one would be found to be quite wrong In the face of public ennui toward 'climate change', the Obama Administration is making one last push or putsch to flood crony corporatists with climate cash A recent Joe Mahoney article, NY looks to the wind to replace its fossil fuel diet, was full of half-truths and misinformation.

There is nothing "free", "clean" or "green" about industrial wind Even in times of drought, the second-growth evergreen forests of the region, which has a prior history of extensive forest logging, continue to increase their cover of the land Real-world observations demonstrate that storm-battered reef islands can take a real beating, leading to a significant loss of area, only to come back even bigger and more stable than they were before Republicansif left in charge of the government as of Januarypromise a balanced energy and climate policy that puts people first and focuses on costs and benefits of various policy options A new experimental finding suggests that if frogs can tolerate the heat of climate-model-predicted global warming, various other animal species may also be able to do so Perhaps because they know that teaching real climate science would turn alarmists into skeptics, some universities have resorted to indoctrination into climate politics as a total substitute for real science Drought is a natural hazard that climate models have predicted will increase in the future in consequence of CO2-induced global warming.

One way to gauge the validity of such predictions is Climate models projected that Antarctica would warm, but it has cooled. Apparently, cooling is always nature, while warming is always man-made In the future, the combined influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and elevated CO2 will improve the growth and production of this most important global food crop A group of adventurers, sailors, pilots and climate scientists that recently started a journey around the North Pole in an effort to show the lack of ice, has been blocked from further travels by ice Tim Kaine is a potential running-mate choice for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Yet he is among the leaders of a Senate cabal seeking to discredit climate skeptics In the wake of a dramatic rollback of climate policy in Britain and Germany, the UN has accused Britain and Germany of " betraying the spirit " of the Paris Climate Accord For only the second time in a year, a NASA camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory satellite captured a view of the moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth The New York Times ran an op-ed by Adam Sobel, an "atmospheric scientist at Columbia".

The gist of Sobel's article: Sincethe United States has been experiencing a hurricane " drought " A cynical coalition of environmentalists and corrupt dictators and bureaucrats is working overtime to keep most Africans poor and malnourished, without jobs or access to modern medical care Twenty-two free market and conservative groups called Democratic senators tyrants Tuesday for criticizing their opposition to global warming policies on the Senate floor Climate alarmists cannot separate human influences from natural causes for any recent changes.

They do not know how much Earth will warm by They cannot say at what point further warming will be "dangerous" The phrase " tipping point " passed its own tipping point and caught fire after author Malcolm Gladwell's so-named book. It's frequently used in climate discussions, but what are "climate tipping points"?

Another study adds to the growing mountain of evidence that suggests that global warming is a life-sustaining phenomenon, which is just the opposite of what climate alarmists continually claim Regardless of sufficient or insufficient soil nitrogen, this "fruit of angels" appears poised to benefit from the ongoing rise in atmospheric CO It's not just Greens who are worried about Europe, Jean-Claude Juncker stated in a speech that leaders of other planets are worried about the direction Europe will take A new study reveals the amazing power of the ongoing rise in the air's CO2 concentration to not only boost the crop's productivity but to increase its essential nutrient concentrations Throughout the past four years, climate change activists have been secretly coordinating with one another regarding ways to prosecute individuals, organizations, and companies that are their ideological foes The American people need a divorce from the elitist statists who have been running the United States without regard to law, due process.

The latest result of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature is for Common Seabuckthorn Tree President Obama is burning his so-called bridges to a "green energy" future that will leave America's families and industries powerlessly impoverished The Australian Academy of Science has just honoured a fresh draft of boffins, including a pair whose names will be instantly familiar to all who marvel at Big Climate's high-volume alarmism Could the climate-alarmist-predicted one-two punch of anthropogenic CO2-induced global warming and ocean acidification, acting together, negatively impact the benthic foraminifers of oceans?

Setting the stage for their study, Roy et al. Al Gore's steamy congressional hearing trumpeted a planet on fire, and the IPCC was created to produce pseudo-scientific evidence Illinois nuclear plant operators have demanded more subsidies, to help keep unprofitable nuclear plants open, to prevent a surge of fossil fuel usage which they claim will occur if they are closed New data clearly reveal the warmer-than-present temperatures that prevailed there when the air's carbon dioxide concentration was much less than it is today Scientists lost the scientific script somewhere in the 20th century.

The major loss involved the fact that correlation is not cause and effect. It was lost for several reasons Climate scientism aggressively misrepresents facts and refuses to discuss energy and climate issues with anyone who points out massive flaws in the man-made climate chaos hypothesis Unfortunately for Goreas the years go by not only are many of his film's predictions wrong, but Gore's own view of man-made warming becomes more alarmist while the science suggests otherwise Cambridge University electrical engineering professor Dr.

Kelly concluded in a peer-reviewed journal article that attempts to fight global warming with green energy will impoverish the world Ex "Think Progress" editor Zack Beauchamp thinks " Game of Thrones " Season 6 proves that the show is about Climate Change. The following contains some spoilers apparently As they don caps and gowns, endure commencement speeches, and take their diplomas, high school and college graduates face bleak prospects in an economy that grew a dismal 0.

The Obama administration's got more than 3, regulations at various stages of completion, including 2, active rules agencies are working to finish before President Obama leaves office There are roughlypeer reviewed journal articles that use at least one of the words model, modeled or modeling. This shows that there is indeed a widespread use of models in science There's a right way and a wrong way of determining how any future warming of the globe might impact the swimming speeds of Earth's fish, as is demonstrated by a recent study of the subject Climate hustlers tried to use the RICO law to chill the global warming debate.

They used publicly funded resources that subjected them to the Freedom of Information Act. Read what they didn't want to disclose. Climate alarmists appear to be getting desperate. For three decades, they've been forecasting the end of days, yet Mother Nature hasn't cooperated. We're told Arctic ice would be gone by now, but SolarCity has been subpoenaed by the Department of Justice as part of an ongoing corruption probe into New York Democratic Gov.

Even the most pessimistic levels of ocean acidification are not strong enough to impact fitness and reproductive traits of the two marine copepods examined in this study The long march toward July 2 staggers onward amid such limp and insipid performances on the stump that even Twitter's obsessive commentators are tuning out and turning off Some parts of the world would be able to produce even greater agricultural yields than they do currently, if the air's CO2 content and temperature were to rise as predicted by climate alarmists New research shows that the switch to fossil fuels preserved more forests to exchange CO2 for oxygen and also returning plant fertilizer to grow more food in the bargain Despite study after study confirming that fracking does not damage groundwater, the psychotic Left continues to spread fearful fictions that falsely link fracking to contamination of water supplies Jimmy Kimmel called those who question the narrative on "climate change" " insane ".

Count his friends and former co-hosts Ben Stein and Adam Carolla among the free-thinking deranged The Zika virus is increasingly linked to serious neurological complications for pregnant women and microcephaly in newborns: Most Americans do not consider global warming a pressing issue, despite campaigns by environmentalists to foist concerns of global warming into the election's spotlight The public policy debate about climate science shows the dysfunctional nature of the US media.

It's one reason why making effective public policy has become difficult or impossible Photosynthesis is a process used by plants to create energy-rich organic compounds, usually in the form of carbohydrates, and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water driven by light While hurricanes are a constant source of worry for residents of the southeastern United States, new research suggests that they have a major upside: Have you ever wondered how media always seem to present similar one-sided stories on climate change, fossil fuels, renewable energy and other environmental issues?

An important new study suggests that remote coral reefs have the ability to recover rapidly from extreme heat-induced reductions in their normal growth rates A new study of the effects of projected changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration, agricultural technology and climate reports significant positive results for the production of wheat in northwest Iran Without presenting it to the U.

Senate, as required by the Constitution, President Obama has signed the Paris climate treaty. Poor, minority, and working class families will suffer most Why would teaching people more about science, tend to reduce concern about climate change? The obvious explanation is there is something wrong with the science Now the President Obama has made good on his promise to bankrupt the U. As it does every year, Earth Day played out like a misanthrope's wet dream.

This year, Earth Day coincided with the toothless Paris climate agreement coming into force A glacial-interglacial perspective reveals there is nothing about the present volume of the ice sheet to indicate that CO2-induced climate change is having any significant effect on it or global sea level Obama administration officials are about to release regulations that could force states and cities getting federal transportation funding to cut carbon dioxide emissions Climate Hustle lays out the facts and asks the tough questions the global warming campaign does not want any of us to think about.

Unfortunately for them the conversation has only just begun Who would ever have thought that such a transformation was possible?

Apparently, five Japanese scientists did. And they went on to prove it at least in the case of two species of Japanese oak trees April 22 will mark the 47th Earth Day. You may think it's about planting trees and cleaning up neighborhoods. But this year's anniversary will be closer its radical roots than any other since its founding in China looks like it is positioning itself, to flood Europe with desperately needed cheap coal generated electricity, all completely within the letter of the various Paris climate agreements Another climate modelling enterprise continues to struggle to keep its head above water as it attempts to produce reliable projections of earth's future climate As is being recognized in many places around the world, cold-induced deaths are far more common than are heat-induced deaths.

In studying the nature of 20th-century global warming, we learn that Fear is the tool of choice of many climate alarmistswho seem to be working overtime these days in an effort to persuade the public to support legislation to combat dangerous climate change After the Paris powwow in December the action switched to Davos. During these meetings statesmen and NGOs repeated the same messages they had delivered dozens, sometimes hundreds of times The Obama Administration drive to eliminate U.

The results will either be catastrophic destruction of American cropland, fuel rationing and economic collapse It is becoming rather embarrassingor at least it should be, to find the number of significant failures in state-of-the-art climate models penetrating a goodly distance into the double-digit range Every warmish day inspires media references to broken temperature records, the implicit message being that we have just endured further evidence of a planet in its sweaty death throes Researchers from Sweden, Germany, and Switzerland have found that climate models overestimated the increase in wet and dry extremes as temperatures increased during the twentieth century In analyzing this particular aspect of climate modeling, five Australian researchers discovered that the most up-to-date climate models are unable to represent it very well Once again, politics interferes with real-world truth, and the losers will likely be beachfront homeowners and other property owners who will face astronomically higher flood insurance costs It was clever and humorous, but also fulfills Shakespeare's observation that What do you think would happen if cabbage and lettuce plants were grown in air containing anywhere from 2.

Read on to find the answer Grant-gobbling catastropharian fabulist Ed Maibach's plan to survey TV meteorologists must have seemed a good idea at the time, the object being to pump out fresh PR releases lambasting sceptics Al Gore and a small number of attorneys general gathered at a press conference Tuesday to bemoan what they see as the "fraud" and unlawful actions perpetrated by fossil fuel companies Canadian scientists once again debunk the notion polar bears are currently being harmed by global warming.

They found "no evidence" polar bears are currently threatened by warming Although the risk of flooding has increased over the past half-century due to various anthropogenic pressures, actual flood events from a climatological or meteorological perspective have not When a three-year-old tells whoppers it can be cute.

It's not so cute if the whopper-tellers are scientist Tim Flannery, aged 60, and his Climate Council. His Council website has this item With the aid of elevated atmospheric CO2, coastal marsh vegetation will be more than able to withstand the challenges of sea level rise, even under the worse-case scenarios predicted by climate models James Hansena former NASA scientist dubbed the "godfather" of global warming's new doomsday scenario suffers from one well, at least one major flaw Would you believe they are such as to actually enable the sea creatures to gain a greater ecological presence under future ocean acidification conditions?

Read on to discover the answer The Bangladesh government has blamed global warming for poor water flow from the Ganges River. This contrasts withwhen melting of the Himalayan Glaciers was blamed for flooding of the Ganges The islands of Tasmania and El Hierro tried to power their economies with percent green energybut both went back to diesel generators after suffering reliability problems and soaring energy costs Is there no end to the list of failures of climate researchers to accurately model the many climatic phenomena that are of great significance to the welfare of mankind?

The evangelical " creation care " movement professes to be pro-life and, for the most part, rightly so. But some creation care advocates give reason to wonder Too much heat or too much cold can be deadly for man and beast alike.

Chinese researchers address this question as it pertains to the human inhabitants of 66 communities spread across their homeland EPA workers made at least two major mistakes when they intentionally penetrated Gold King Mine in August The agency-led crew didn't test for pressure in the mine mouth and mistakenly dug at the bottom Researchers have found that some buyers are willing to pay for environmentally friendly products because those products are " status symbols " A new book named The Climate Wars How the Consensus is Enforced proves without a doubt that John Cook and his "Skeptical Science" team are nothing but a gang of "say anything" activists Earth's forests are defying climate-alarmist projections of their imminent demise, as they successfully cope with and adapt to the many challenges humanity and nature force upon them A challenge to Wyoming laws that protect private property may open the door for self-appointed environmental snoops to look for "pollution" anywhere they can find it on private land Future sea-level rise is a problem probably too big to be solved even by unprecedented geo-engineering such as pumping water masses onto the Antarctic continent Actors are a peculiar breed.

Ask them to play characters of intellectual depth, no problems. As global-warming worrywart Leonardo DiCaprio demonstrated at the Academy Awards, the trouble starts when they write their own lines Newly " adjusted " satellite-derived temperature data shows much more warming in the bulk atmosphere than previous data, but shows the Earth's atmosphere is still cooler than most climate models projected A paper claims that, more than half a million people per year will die due to lower food availability in It's a shocking figure.

However, such claims should be treated with a whole tub of salt Science is turning back to the dark ages Man-made global warming theory has been propped up by studies that many scientists have dismissed as methodologically flawed, ideologically bent or even fraudulent Environmentalists and media offered multiple explanations, except the most obvious and likely one: Open top chamber studies are much more likely than FACE studies to approximate reality when it comes to estimating the future impact of atmospheric CO2 enrichment on plant growth and yield Reuters reports that Osama Bin Laden intended to use the climate issue to spread chaos in the US, by calling for people concerned about greenhouse gasses to rise up and overthrow the government Specimens from "down under" in Australia appear to be able to tolerate significant increases in temperature, which in some cases can actually be beneficial for them Legendary businessman Warren Buffet has waded into the climate issue.

Buffet seems to believe climate change is likely to be a serious issue, but he is cautious about this belief A new study confirming the year "hiatus" in global warming made headlines, but what went largely unnoticed was a major admission made by the paperss authors: The two global environmental changes that are the result of the Industrial Revolution have been combining their individual influences to enhance the growth of the planet's plant life for quite some time now Global warming need not lead to an increase in extreme drought conditions, because it did just the opposite throughout a large chunk of China over the past millennium Cheap coal, oil and natural gas are outcompeting wind and solar power despite massive government support, and environmentalists are really upset about it Climate model ensembles tend to be overconfident in their representation of the climate variability which leads to systematic increase in the attributable risk to an extreme event Imagine a machine which can shoot mosquitoes out of the sky using a laser.

From the Arctic to the tropics, mosquitoes are a major nuisance, and in some cases a lethal threat Elevated CO2, alone or in combination with short-term environmental salt stress, increases the nutritional quality of lettuce without yield losses or even increasing production Fighting global warming will require "profound lifestyle changes" for millions of people, according to leaked European Union documents obtained by The Guardian.

Richard Lindzen is sick and tired of the media repeating the so-called "97 percent consensus" statistic to show just how strong the global warming agreement is among climate scientists Try as they might, it is becoming ever more evident that the world's climate modelers seem to be unable to even hind-cast the recent past correctly Frustrated that nobody seems to care about climate change, "the country's biggest individual political donor during the election cycle", has pledged even more in Boston breaks Valentine's Day cold weather record.

Of course this is weather, not climate. Remember that in August climate propagandists! New United Nations data shows deaths from natural disasters declined by 70 percent in relative to the average number of deaths of the previous 10 years Although death tolls were greater than what they would have been under normal summer temperatures, many of the recorded deaths were those of people suffering from various maladies Shrinking the CSIRO's multi-million dollar climate cookie jar in the Year of the Monkey was bound to cause a rumble in the jungle and shrieks of alarm For at least the past 12, years, civilization's advance has been slowed, brought to a halt, or even reversed as temperatures plummeted due to climate change.

A new analysis of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data shows had more days above degrees Fahrenheit than any other year. Recent years don't come close The two global environmental changes that are the result of the Industrial Revolution have been combining their individual influences to enhance the development of the planet's plant life for quite some time now Does the UN's Paris climate agreement provide EPA the power to unilaterally impose a cap and trade scheme on all 50 United States?

Lawyers for climate pressure groups claim it does The environmental lobby first cited salinity as the reason irrigators must have their access to water reduced. Next, farmers were Flanneried with warmist prophecies of drought and more drought NOAA ignored the large integrated network of Argo ocean buoys operated by the British Oceanographic Data Center in combination with satellite-enhanced data that revealed no statistical warming If rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2 are having any impact at all on Earth's climate, that impact it is certainly not manifest in this record They are physically cleaning up after the " Blizzard of " in the northeastern US.

The job is not as onerous as anticipated and is going slowly because the government is in charge. If press releases and photo ops could put out fires, no bush town would ever again need to fear the flames of summer. The sad and simple fact, however, is that they achieve little at enormous cost Along the Jersey shore, homeowners are willing to spend their own money to protect their homes from whatever Mother Nature serves up, and they are right to stand up to bullies in Trenton Bob Carter's passing is a great loss to those on the side of the angels and to the noble cause pure, non-politicised science in the debate on climate change NASA and NOAA's "hottest ever" temperature pronouncements rely on thermometers, but ignore the other two primary ways of measuring global air temperatures, satellites and radiosondes Newly elected Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, speaking at Davos, has strongly criticised Leonardo DiCaprio's recent pontification about alleged oil industry greed Simply put, it is time to get to work to defeat the enemies of freedom and prosperity who are running the show in Washington, DC The standard defence of the University of East Anglia's climate cabal is that its fiddling scientists were "cleared" by two allegedly independent panels In spite of all that has been accomplished over several decades of dedicated work, the climate models still fall short of accomplishing all that their developers had hoped they would someday be able to do President Obama and his billionaire friends who will profit financially from killing coal, though no one in the media will acknowledge this are hell bent on killing the coal industry Climatologist Bob Carter has died at 74 years of age.

He argues that scientific data does not support the UN's claims of catastrophic man-made global warming. He will be dearly missed That we are beset by halfwits is no less self-evident than the spectacle of reporters genuflecting before the alleged wisdom of the latest climate scientist to snaffle a career-boosting grant or three An eleven-station average reveals a relative rate of sea level rise in this region of 1.

Fishermen and seafood-dependent communities are battening down the hatches, fearing that an Obama administration move to create a giant Atlantic Marine Monument will spell the end to their way of life The Clean Power Plan will harm human health and welfare, wildlife and environmental quality, but will do nothing to prevent climate change, "dangerous" or otherwise Property rights continues to be a popular issue for most Americans, so popular that enterprising policy makers and others in public policy arena could use this often overlooked issue to significant effect Soil, logs, epiphytes and tree holes can sometimes mean the difference between a species surviving an episode of global warming or becoming locally extinct Former Vice President Al Gore shocked Americans in "An Inconvenient Truth" when he said polar bears were drowning because global warming was melting Arctic sea ice, but Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that paying his supporters to develop nano-technological breakthroughs could reduce carbon emissions enough to slow global warming Another experiment with another plant provides another set of data that reveals another means by which another plant species can adapt to another change in the physical environment Companies like Solar City need politicians to keep them afloat.

The best solution would be to rid ourselves of politicians who play favorites with other people's money An international pension-fund coalition showed great enthusiasm for decarbonisation in Paris last month.

The news in the UK over the holiday period has been dominated by flooding. The decision to name the storms causing the floods reveals our newfound fear of weather The only real 'change' that President Obama actually intends to accomplish under his climate change agenda is the destruction of the oil and gas, coal, and nuclear industries The decades-old legislation that prevented American producers from exporting oil is officially overturned, despite previous presidential threats to veto a bill to lift the oil export ban From Colorado State University and the "climate models still can't get clouds right" department comes this interesting new study: All the excitement, the back-slappings, the hubbub is over, and the 40 have jetted back home.

COP21 has come and gone.
