An overview of the political process from Climategate to present.

For various reasons, my first ever article on the “Global Warming Scam” done in 2008 is no longer easily thorugh the Lenzie Village website where it was published. 6 years on, how good was it?
 Global Temperatures & CO2
February’s Update news: According to revised official Met office1 figures, January 2008 was still the coldest month globally in 14 years2. At only 0.056°C higher than the nominal reference3 We must look back to February 1994 to find a colder month. Global temperatures peaked in February 1998 at 0.75°C and with February coming in at 0.194°C there is a definite and accelerating cooling trend of -0.1°C/decade.
By the Met Office’s own statistic’s it is highly unlikely that the forecasts could be consistently too high by chance and therefore this is clear proof of a consistent error in the forecasting model. That is to say, the cooling temperature clearly contradicts the theory of manmade global warming, because although CO2 levels continue to rise, global temperatures have cooled. Continue reading |
How often have we read “the Main Stream Media don’t ever report climate”? Written by citizens, on the Citizen News Media (CNM) bemoaning the lack of coverage on the MSM. Are we bloggers, this new CNM part of new “supermarkets” of news which are killing off the old “high-street” retailers in the MSM? Continue reading
There’s an excellent piece by by Gerald Warner in today’s Scotsman.
CLIMATE change is real and it is happening very fast. The climate of opinion, that is, regarding the rapidly imploding fantasies of the global warming alarmists.
This would be unusually vehement – albeit honest – in any country, but in Scotland where global warming was almost the state religion and sceptics were viewed as morally equivalent to paedophiles and deserving their place in concentration camps etc., this is a remarkable turn around.
After a decade in which sane commentators have been angered and frustrated by the purblind adherence to the warmist superstition by followers of the Al Gore cult – prominent among them our own esteemed First Minister and President for Life Designate – the whole climate change scam has finally degenerated into a joke, provoking widespread derision.
And it will be particularly unwelcome news in the Scottish Government where the SNP are even now trying to portray themselves as “competent” to govern Scotland ahead of the referendum on Scottish independence this year. The truth is that the Scottish government were gullible, corrupt and incompetent. The SNP ignored numerous warnings this was hocus pocus non-science dreamed up by a small group of academics. They told MSPs lies about the economic case to get the legislation through. And this Nationalist party ended up taking money from the poor in Scotland to help the rich in England.
How could anyone trust the SNP? The Scottish parliament was only really given one bit of extra power over the previous Scottish office. And that was to promote … I was going to say wind … the in truth it was to promote global warming. To promote global warming so that the Scots politicians desperate to do something with this new power would rush to turn Scotland into an industrial wind park – for whose benefit? Tto save the English countryside from being similarly dispoiled.
Yes! The SNP of all people were hell bent on destroying Scotland to help English politicians achieve the EU imposed “green” targets by ensuring that Scotland had far more than its fair share of renewables. In 2010 it was 18% in Scotland and about 10% – since when the SNP have forced the poor in Scotland to pay even more to benefit the rich in England who sit in their London clubs raking in the wind grants.
You could hardly make it up.

I’m a little late, but its still the best news I’ve heard all day.
This is an excellent article which is well worth reading in full.
I don’t know about anyone else but I’m already addicted to uClimate.com. But it is certainly bringing up surprises. The first was that WUWT is not the top blog – at least in terms of posts with Stephen Goddard producing some 269 articles and Climate Depot some 184 compared to WUWT’s 97. Obviously there’s no comparison in terms of quality but even so it was a surprise.
But the real eye opener has come from the new addition which records clicks on articles. It is so new, that it is not publicly available (sorry I’m still trialling the software). But what do you suppose the top article is? Was it …
Yes, they are all in the top few, but no they are not top. Instead, if the number of clicks are to be believed, what is the most important issue flexible the combined intellect of sceptics? It’s this:
Warren Meyer: Windows 8 Even Worse Than I Thought
Up to this point, after some initial bad impressions trying Windows 8 briefly, I have avoided it like the plague. However, my son needed a new laptop and the only ones that really met our requirements only came in Windows 8 flavors, so we bought one. What an awful mess. The system boots up into …
2014-01-08 06:08 1 Comment … and the worst thing is that I too hate Windows 8.
I think I got there first:- in a letter on 10th December 2009 in the Irish Independent
As I listen to the claims of Climate Chaos, with its “imminent threat” and undeniable evidence, I wonder where I have heard this all before.
Wasn’t it Tony Blair who also told us that there was an imminent threat?
A threat so serious that we could not gamble, that we had to invade Iraq on the “precautionary principle” to prevent weather . . . sorry I mean weapons of mass destruction.
This is what happens when experts/scientists become politicised. The spin doctors come in, the evidence gets sexed up to “hide the decline” and in the end the public is misled.
Following the latest revelations on Climategate there is now very little doubt that these ‘scientists’ have been adjusting the temperature data in a way that can not be explained in scientific terms.
If people really feel we “can’t gamble” with the minuscule bit of warming we saw in the 20th century and believe it really amounts to the greatest problem in the world, why aren’t they shouting out the obvious solution?
The “scientists” themselves tell us that the reduction in atmospheric pollution from particulates (smoke) which had blocked out the sun led to an increase in global temperatures in the 1970s.
Have the environmentalists forgotten their nuclear winter caused by sun-blocking dust being taken up into the atmosphere? Why aren’t they telling the public they already have the solution: get rid of the clean air acts, bring back that lovely sun-blocking smog!
Hypocrites all of them! We don’t need to gamble, we already have the solution and if any environmentalist can’t believe how quickly we can fix all this manmade CO2 they should go to a small offshore island, where we can detonate a few nuclear bombs and demonstrate how quickly we can get rid of this global warming scare.

In my previous post I asked whether it was time to up our standards to reflect the growing importance of the “citizen scientist“. I started by thinking about what I thought was important and … where I could/should do better. This may be entirely the wrong way forward – but I think it is worth publishing for discussion.
uClimate.com has been improved. The main change is that the list of sceptic and non-sceptic blogs can now be viewed separately and the sites are listed with the number of posts in the last month. This gives us the following league table:- Continue reading
