I’ve upgraded the site, and experimented with a few themes (which I’m not completely happy with – suggestions please), implemented a new spam plug-in (Spam Karma 2) and threaded comments. There’s still some extra stuff I want to put on (including a comment verification CAPTCHA to get rid of automated spam) but it’ll have to […]
"The time has come", the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings" – Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872 The time has arrived to upgrade the WordPress software to the latest version (1.5). Amongst the new features will be […]
I’ve just been informed that a new paper is ‘in press’ snappily called "Testing the Fidelity of Methods used in Proxy-based Reconstructions of Past Climate", by Mann M.E., Rutherford S., Wahl E., Ammann C. It is due to be published in "Journal of Climate". If anyone can get a copy of this paper, then let […]
‘Tis nearly the Atlantic hurricane season, a traditional time for battening down the hatches, making sure the family are safe in the storm shelter, and making sure you are safely marooned in the local bar (this is what I did during one hurricane in the Bahamas in 1995). ‘Tis also the time for people to […]
A new study on Alpine glaciers has shown that the recent melting since the lowest point of the "Little Ice Age" in the 17th Century is not extraordinary in the context of climate change since the end of the last Ice Age: The Alpine glaciers are shrinking, that much we know. But new research suggests […]
Realclimate have removed their links to Roger Pielke’s Prometheus blog, as a demonstration of their commitment to rational, scientific dialogue. Update: They’ve put the link back now. It looks like the tantrum is over. Just another ripple in the ocean of climate science.
Benny Peiser sent in this link to a speech delivered by David Henderson, formerly head of the department of Economics and Statistics at the OECD. What it’s really about is the rise of an illiberal, collectivist and anti-market economic consensus in important political insitutions and western societies in general. But it also touches upon issues […]
Apologies for the delay on this article. We’ve now fixed the weblog issue The BBC reports on yet another discovery of the "Smoking Gun" of anthropogenic global warming.
Dr Benny Peiser has put his full correspondance on the Internet regarding his replication of Naomi Oreskes’ "research" claiming that all or practically all scientific papers backed the "consensus" view on global warming. I put the words "research" in scare quotes, because frankly, if this is research it’s not as I understand the term. "Limited […]
Another article which points out the blatently obvious (especially if your surnames are McIntyre or McKitrick) Two of the world’s leading scientific journals have come under fire from researchers for refusing to publish papers which challenge fashionable wisdom over global warming. A British authority on natural catastrophes who disputed whether climatologists really agree that the […]

The Atlantic Hurricane season
