In the absence of timely technical support to fix our database issue, I thought I’d just a link to another site commenting on the recent paper by James Hansen, Gavin Schmidt et al purporting to show a smoking gun of "an imbalance between solar radiation and atmospheric emission" Luboà…⟠Motl : http://motls.blogspot.com/2005/04/earths-energy-balance.html If anyone knows of […]
There’s a problem with the weblog database, making posting beyond a certain length impossible. I’ve asked Steve to tell the webhost to put in more hamsters…. We hope to be back shortly with more good stuff. PS If someone could let me have a copy of "Hansen et al., Earth’s Energy Imbalance: Confirmation and Implications, […]
For those who have been following the posts on water vapor and its relationship to climate change, here’s an article on water vapor, radiative modelling and the effects on the greenhouse effect: http://www.sron.nl/www/code/eos/atmos/h2o/PWMAY03.pdf
A new video presentation from the University of Calgary on climate change has been published on the "Friends of Science" website at this link It’s an overview of the current controversies in climate science from a skeptical point of view in a simple presentation. I’m not aware that any television station has broadcast it, however. […]
(deliberate pun in title) Michael Mann has been interviewed by yet another journalist who didn’t do the background reading. Read it all at Mother Jones Roger Pielke has done a good job of exposing the politicization of climate science on the Prometheus blog. I think its very wrong to equate a view on a particular […]
Of all news outlets across the world, the supposedly unbiased BBC has been one of the greatest cheerleaders of global warming alarmism in general, and the Hockey Stick in particular. My encounters with the journalists who write on the BBC website have been brusque and condescending. As a mere taxpayer and license fee payer, I […]
I thought it would be interesting to look up more details of presentations made by people at the recent conference in Canberra. I found some materials at this site. Of more relevance to the research of Steve McIntyre is this presentation by Dr Bob Carter of the James Cook University on the question of climate […]
As one of our correspondants has pointed out, there was a conference on global warming attended by skeptics in Canberra, recently: The Sydney Morning Herald reports: Although heavily outnumbered, global-warming sceptics believe the stakes are so high they must step up their fight, as Michael Duffy reports. Members of a species widely believed extinct – […]
Sometimes the Mann Hockey Stick (1999) is eclipsed by another reconstruction which goes twice as far back and with even less statistical significance (if that’s possible) than the original. Yes, it’s the "Mann Hockey Stick mark deux" produced by Drs Jones and Mann to widespread indifference in 2003. Steve has tried replicating this one as […]
Just a short note about an article in the Skeptical Inquirer on the subject of "Judging Authority" and the necessity of critical thinking. Living well requires that we be able to evaluate our environment rationally. Simple things, like crossing the street, shopping, eating, and listening to our doctors, involve three skills: critical thinking, evidential reasoning, […]
