Townhall.com on the NASA "Y2K" Error

Here’s an interesting article on the NASA “Y2K” error from Michael Fumento of Townhall.com that steers between the over-reaction of some commentators that this error somehow disproves global warming and the claims of NASA spokesmen, James Hansen and Gavin Schmidt, that the error “doesn’t matter”. NASA spokesman Schmidt uses the realclimate.org website to advance the […]

CTV News

The 6 pm promo for the 11pm CTV news (a Canadian national network) featured – guess who. You’ll recognize some graphics. The 11pm news is online here (only up to yesterday at present – I’m not sure whether they stream it at 11 pm or whether it’s just an archive.) I’m on at the very […]

Short hiatus while moving to new home

Today Tomorrow (Thursday) sometime around 11am Pacific Standard Time, this server will go offline to be moved to its final home inside a colocation data center in California. The IP address will change, so give Anthony and team a couple of hours to move the server and reconfigure. Steve will change the domain climateaudit.org to […]

Roundup

Well, welcome back. The operating problems have resulted either from an increase in volume, or a DOS attack or both. Any time that we’ve tried to open up the site, the site has been knocked over. This has been true even on the weekend. Even after the climateaudit IP address was pointed away from the […]

Does Hansen’s Error “Matter”?

There’s been quite a bit of publicity about Hansen’s Y2K error and the change in the U.S. leaderboard (by which 1934 is the new warmest U.S. year) in the right-wing blogosphere. In contrast, realclimate has dismissed it a triviality and the climate blogosphere is doing its best to ignore the matter entirely. My own view […]

“Lights Out Upstairs”

Hansen has published an online letter entitled A Light On Upstairs? The letter concludes by saying: My apologies if the quick response that I sent to Andy Revkin and several other journalists, including the suggestion that it was a tempest inside somebody’s teapot dome, and that perhaps a light was not on upstairs, was immoderate. […]

If it seems a little quiet…

I’ve had to radically filter the connections to the weblog until we get our webhosting sorted out (hopefully this weekend). If you can read this, then you’re fortunate to be on a restricted number of subnets. The rest are getting a “403 Forbidden” error. We’ve had to block pretty much everybody because of the enormous […]

Sorry for the loss of service

The server slowed down and stopped repeatedly as CA was either a) under a DDOS attack and/or b) got mentioned by Instapundit (the result is the same, the question is intent). I’ve changed the theme temporarily to make the site a bit faster. We are currently building a new server able to withstand these sorts […]

A New Leaderboard at the U.S. Open

There has been some turmoil yesterday on the leaderboard of the U.S. (Temperature) Open and there is a new leader. A little unexpectedly, 1998 had a late bogey and 1934 had a late birdie. (I thought that they were both in the clubhouse since the turmoil seemed to be in the 2000s.) In any event, […]
