The 2006 Hurricane Season

Does anyone think that Kerry Emanuel and Judith Curry each have an obligation to issue a report in Nature and/or Science on the 2006 hurricane season? Corporations can’t just issue financial statements when they have good years; they have to issue reports in bad years. And let there be no doubt – 2006 was a […]

Al Gore's Letter to the Telegraph

here . Gore has much to say on the hockey stick.

Elephant Seals and PNAS Bias

Ralph Cicerone, President of NAS, personally reviewed Hansen’s recent article, which is available for free at the PNAS website here. George Denton, a very distinguished paleoclimatologist of the older school – one whose work will undoubtedly long survive that of the Team, recently contributed an article entitled Holocene elephant seal distribution implies warmer-than-present climate in […]

Domack on the Larsen 1-A Ice Shelf

Proxy attention seems to have migrated away from things like bristlecones (still waiting for Hughes’ 2002 Sheep Mountain update) to the Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves, with the major break-ups of the Larsen 1-A and 1-B ice shelves. An interesting illustration of NH-SH asymmetry is that the latitude of the Larsen 1-A ice shelf is 64 […]

Monbiot v Monckton Round Two

As a workaround to the server configuration issue, I have moved the last 45 comments from the original Monbiot v Monckton thread so that the conversation can continue. This will mean that the numbering will refer to what it was in the orginal and not what it is here, but c’est la vie

Monbiot v Monckton

I can’t say I’m impressed with Monbiot’s arguments because they appear to be of the distinctly strawy kind. He does mention asking Gavin Schmidt about blackbodies (in relation to Monckton’s use […]

Cornell University, Nov. 17, 2006

I’m going to Cornell University on Nov. 17 at the invitation to give a lecture to Sinan Unur’s economics policy class on my adventures in climate. Oddly enough, I’ve never given a presentation to a university class in my life. It wasn’t something that you did in math classes in the olden days. My only […]

Weblog update imminent

Steve has received yet another note about the vulnerability of our software from the webhost and somehow we are being used as a spam relay of some kind. So I’m going to update the software after first making sure I’ve got a good backup or three. So if CA disappears or looks peculiar, try not […]

Annals of Glaciology 43 Online

The 2005 volume is online here although earlier issues seem to be pay-as-you-play. It has many interesting articles, including ones on Puruogangri and tropical glaciers. Enjoy.
