Vietnam: Long spells of biting cold trouble flower growersHanoi and northern provinces have been suffering biting cold for a week, which is warned to continue, making flower growers “like to be a cat on hot bricks” as the biggest holiday is approaching.
Peach flower growers in Phu Thuong and Nhat Tan wards in Tay Ho precinct, two largest flower suppliers in Hanoi, complained that just over 20 days away from Tet, but weather forecasters have warned of several other spells of biting cold ahead.
If the forecast comes true, peach flowers are in a threat to be unable to blossom at the Lunar New Year festival (Tet).

Rival plays on climate change go head to head on London stage | Stage | The ObserverThe National Theatre's Greenland will attempt to give an overview of the dangers posed by climate change and will broadly support the idea, shared by the vast majority of scientists, that global warming is occurring because humans have been pumping more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. By contrast, The Heretic, at the Royal Court, will provide support for those who deny mankind is causing climate change.
...
The Heretic will focus on the work of a single, fictional scientist, Dr Diane Cassell, played by Juliet Stevenson, who finds herself at odds with her colleagues and is forced to ask if the issue is becoming political as well as personal.

Dr Raman Pratap Singh, however, claimed that the doctors have not been negligent and attributed the recent two deaths to severe cold. “The patients died of extreme cold and people have been affected by the cold wave that started a week ago,” Dr Singh said.
Politics of climate expertise | Climate Etc.Looking at Steve Schneider and Jim Hansen in this context, we see two very different strategies re playing politics with climate expertise. Jim Hansen has become an activist, and IMO has lessened his political influence (others have different opinions on this, I’m sure). Steve Schneider is a far more interesting case in this regard (and ultimately more effective IMO), using the strategies of consensus (particularly in the context of the IPCC), elitism in terms of the science and scientists (e.g the PNAS article), and organizing statements from prestigious institutions like the NAS and professional societies. In short, much of the strategy that proved to be pretty effective until . . . well, climategate. While effective over a fairly long period, these strategies are no longer effective.
...
As per the IPCC/UNFCCC ideology, the reason climate scientists want to get the message across is to influence politics and policy to do something (preferably the UNFCCS solution) about climate change. My thoughts on playing politics with climate expertise? Don’t, unless you are knowledgeable about policy and understand politics. Michael Oppenheimer in his recent AGU talk has some sage advice in this regard.

It is one of the most tempting fallacies of the pundit and the ideologue to image the rest of humanity as clones of themselves, which is precisely why so many attempts at building their utopias involve the unplanned need for a lot of force to get compliance from their strangely unwilling subjects.

Measures to Save Ozone Stemmed a Lot More Global Warming - [Junk] ScienceNOWSAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA—Now, for a change, some good news on the environmental front. Global efforts launched in 1989 to stem emissions of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)—volatile chemicals, used as refrigerants and propellants in spray cans, that break down ozone—have borne fruit not only by protecting ozone in the atmosphere but also by preventing even more dramatic atmospheric heating. That's because, like carbon dioxide, CFCs in the atmosphere trap heat. New studies, presented here last month at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, show that had humanity not cut this pollution, Earth would have experienced as much as 1.5ºC of additional global warming by 2070. Moreover, the new projections show, CFC pollution would have thinned the layer of ozone in the upper atmosphere, which blocks harmful ultraviolet radiation, even more than scientists expected, as a result of an unforeseen "feedback" effect.

Bearing the chill...this winter, the chill was too cold for many Bangaloreans to step out, a scene that had many old tongues wagging whether the climate change had finally transformed the City’s weather decisively.
...
Yet, the scientists have an explanation for the perceptible rise in summer temperatures. “In scientific terms, we call the increase in temperature the urban heat island effect,” says Ravindranath. “Tar and cement roads, concrete buildings, infrastructure projects, lack of greenery and pollution are some of the contributors to the change in the weather pattern,” he explains.
The big spurt in the City’s population has invariably been a factor.
...
However, the Director of the Bangalore Meteorology Department, B Puttanna, is not convinced by that argument. “It is a common practice that whenever sensitive people find a slight change in the weather, they react immediately. But the data available with us show that there is no substantial change in the weather in the last 100 years,” he says.
...In relative terms, Bangalore’s summers are perceived as hotter and winters colder. The man-made eco-disasters triggered in the name of development is not doing anything to change that perception.
Climate change a major threat to Bahamas, say Greenpeace activists GREENPEACE activists, currently docked in Nassau on one of the environmental group's ships, say climate change is a major threat to the Bahamas.
According to Joel Stewart, a 22-year veteran of the organisation and captain of Greenpeace's "Arctic Sunrise" icebreaker ship, climate change is very serious issue for a maritime state like the Bahamas.

Natural Variability, Not CO2, Accounts for Late 20th Century WarmingIn considering the latter portion of the record (1946-2008), results indicated that the internal variability component of climate change (the IMP) operated in a cooling mode between 1946 and 1977, but switched to a warming mode thereafter (between 1977 and 2008), suggesting that the IMP is strong enough to overwhelm any anthropogenic signal. Of this the authors state: "Specifically, the trend due to only the forced component is statistically the same in the two 32-year periods and in the 63-year period. That is, the forced part is not accelerating. Taken together, these results imply that the observed trend differs between the periods 1946-1977 and 1977-2008 not because the forced response accelerated, but because internal variability lead to relative cooling in the earlier period and relative warming in the later period" [italics added].
Guest Post By Madhav Khandekar From India | Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.“For last two weeks or about most of north and central India are witnessing cold wintry weather; some places in Kashmir and the Himalayan foothills have low temperatures at -5C to -20C! This is cold for India, since most houses are not insulated, not heated (except some small room heaters in north India) so most people, especially elderly people feel cold all day long and become sick with a cold, cough, flu etc. In Mumbai it is reported that about 40% of the sick children had contacted pneumonia, due to low temperatures in Mumbai ( at 15C or below). Mumbai is the largest Indian city with a population of over 25 million and many people live in poorly built houses and are feeling the impact of this cold winter. In north India, many large cities reported temperatures as low as 3c to 5C and TV footage show people huddled around roadside campfires to keep themselves warm.
IPCC science did NOT adequately analyze the impact of cold events on world humanity.

Celestial Junk: Internet Killed the Global Warming StarThe transnationals and fraudsters who hoped to enrich themselves off of warmist alarm, and who hoped to exercise ever more global governance, would have ruled by now were it not for the net.

And, those citizens endowed with common sense who were disturbed by the political nature of the global warming "science", had a venue to express their doubts.
The Met Office fries while the rest of the world freezes - TelegraphLet us begin with last week’s astonishing claim that, far from failing to predict the coldest November and December since records began, the Met Office had secretly warned the Cabinet Office in October that Britain was facing an early and extremely cold winter. In what looked like a concerted effort at damage limitation, this was revealed by the BBC’s environmental correspondent, Roger Harrabin, a leading evangelist for man-made climate change. But the Met Office website – as reported by the blog Autonomous Mind – still contains a chart it published in October, predicting that UK temperatures between December and February would be up to 2C warmer than average.
So if the Met Office told the Government in October the opposite of what it told the public, it seems to be admitting that its information was false and misleading. But we have no evidence of what it did tell the Government other than its own latest account. And on the model of the famous Cretan Paradox, how can we now trust that statement?

A dangerous sting for agriculture: climate change implicated in bee decline | Indymedia Australia "Bee numbers may have declined at our research site, but we suspect that a climate-driven mismatch between the times when flowers open and when bees emerge from hibernation is a more important factor," said James Thomson, a scientist with University of Toronto's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
The 17 year examination of the wild lily in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado is one of the longest-term studies of pollination ever done. The study was published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences in September 2010.

May Berenbaum, an ecologist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and lead author of a National Academy of Sciences published report in 2007 that highlighted the precarious status of pollinators in North America said "To borrow an old analogy that Paul Ehrlich often used, with the wild pollinators, losing a species is a bit like losing screws in a plane. If you lose a few here or there, it's not the end of the world, and your plane can still fly. But if you lose too many, at some point, the whole plane can suddenly come apart in mid-flight."

Al Gore in China: “Efficiency is the Number One Solution” Praises Their “Unusual Success” | hauntingthelibraryYou might think – “Yeah, that was awful, but China’s not as brutal now as it was in the past. I mean, even people like Al Gore are praising their approach to solving global warming these days”. But news reports from November 2010 show that China’s “efficiency” still extends to tactics such as kidnapping relatives and holding them in detention centres until pregnant mothers come in for abortions and forced sterilizations, as women’s magazine Marie Claire revealed recently in an investigative report:

Where’s the “missing” heat? | Climate Etc.This week, there is discussion about a new paper by Willis, Knox and Douglass entitled “Recent Energy Balance of Earth” is in press at the International Journal of Geosciences. Knox and Douglass have written a blog post at WUWT, with the following overall punchline: they find that estimates of the recent (2003–2008) ocean heat content rates of change (observed from ARGO floats) are preponderantly negative, which does not support the existence of either a large positive radiative imbalance or a “missing energy.”
Die Klimazwiebel: Interviews with and analysis of climate scientists' attitudes[Hans von Storch] Climate has become the most important environmental concern, maybe because concern about a “worsening climate” is an old cultural construct in the west, where the concept had flourished for a long time that a higher power would punish people for sinful behavior. The traditional sins have been replaced by sins against the environment in general and against climate in particular. Climate stands for all these problems, and the climate problem is easy to grasp, has simple answers, which are consistent with traditional knowledge claims.
...The climate problem is well suited for a global debate, because it may be framed so that almost all relevant problems, the north-south problem, inequality of development, injustice due to former colonialism, environmental degradation are included.

Lawmaker blames GOP for energy policy's failure » Ventura County StarHELENA, Mont. — HELENA, Mont. (AP) - State lawmakers failed to come up with a proposed energy policy over the legislative interim because of the Republican committee members' denial of climate change, a Democratic senator said Friday.
Sen. Ron Erickson, of Missoula, told a group of industry leaders at Helena conference on Montana energy the science is clear, but that GOP resistance prevented the interim committee from forwarding a bill to the full Legislature.
"We had a really difficult time in the interim committee on energy. I will blame that on the fact that Republican members of that committee do not think that climate change is real, nor do they think that it is caused by man. And they are wrong," Erickson said.

‘Ozone hole’ hoax was the preview for ‘Global Warming’James Lovelock’s reaction to first reading about the stolen CRU emails in late 2009 was one of a true scientist. “I was utterly disgusted. My second thought was that it was inevitable. It was bound to happen. Science, not so very long ago, pre-1960s, was largely vocational. Back when I was young, I didn’t want to do anything else other than be a scientist. They’re not like that nowadays. They don’t give a damn. They go to these massive, mass-produced universities and churn them out. They say: “Science is a good career. You can get a job for life doing government work.” That’s no way to do science.
I have seen this happen before, of course. We should have been warned by the CFC/ozone affair because the corruption of science in that was so bad that something like 80% of the measurements being made during that time were either faked, or incompetently done.
Fudging the data in any way whatsoever is quite literally a sin against the holy ghost of science. I’m not religious, but I put it that way because I feel so strongly. It’s the one thing you do not ever do. You’ve got to have standards.”
Driving US families into fuel poverty | CFACT...Britain’s “shiny new green” turbines were able to supply only “one-500th of the exceptionally large demand” for electricity during the frigid weather of early December, Sunday Times columnist Dominic Lawson ruefully observed.

"When you see a tree growing," Anderson said, "it's a lot easier to believe that tree is somehow coming out of the soil rather than the scientific reality that it's coming out of the air."
Analysis: Asia's climate steps could delay global CO2 [swindle] | Reuters(Reuters) - Asia's powerhouse economies are turning cautious on national plans to price emissions and instead pursuing incremental steps that could delay a global carbon offset market.
Pressures from business and uncertainty over the shape of a U.N. climate pact mean the region will be reluctant to impose steep carbon costs while competitors such as the United States struggle to take action on emissions caps.
Don't the people of Asia realize that without a global CO2 swindle, all of our grandchildren will die of kidney stones during warm blizzards while being strangled by pythons?
Coldest Air of Winter 8-10 Days Away? | Minnesota Coldest air of the winter possible January 17-20, subzero highs possible for 2+ days, nighttime lows may dip to -20 in the suburbs. The good news: the latest guidance is hinting that this Arctic outbreak will be relatively brief.
A nation choking on endless laws - NYPOST.comNever mind that the "science" is far from settled, that the Climategate e-mails showed active collusion among researchers to misrepresent the facts about alleged "global warming," that some of the 1,700 British scientists who signed a declaration defending the researchers' professional integrity have said they felt pressured into doing it (or didn't work on "climate change" at all) and that Al Gore is a certified crackpot.
Never mind, as well, that the US Senate rejected the Kyoto Treaty by a vote of 95-0 -- during the Clinton administration. Never mind that the Waxman-Markey anti-warming "cap and trade" bill died in the Democratic-controlled 111th Congress. Jackson will simply "phase in" the regulations.
Estimated 40 Percent of Scientists Doubt Manmade Global Warming | TTKN NewsPRINCETON, NJ S. Fred Singer said in an interview with the National Association of Scholars (NAS) that “the number of skeptical qualified scientists has been growing steadily; I would guess it is about 40% now.”

So yes, there are apparently parts of the Indian Ocean where sea level has declined. This just leaves more water to pile up elsewhere. In fact, it shows how powerful the forces of climate change already are, in order to be able to outweigh the generally rising ocean volume in a limited area.

[Larry Bell] The Northwest Passage has certainly opened up before.
This is untrue in recorded history. The traversals prior to 2007 were in very specialized boats and often took years. In 2007 and 2010, genuine shipping lanes opened up for the first time. It was possibly open in the mid-Holocene about 6,000 to 8,000 years ago and was certainly open millions of years ago. But since the opening of the passage itself received far too little attention (in our opinion), it is hard to see what Bell is complaining about.
Tom Nelson: northwest_passage [Time Magazine, 1937] Last week this new, shorter Northwest Passage's navigability was dramatically demonstrated as Hudson Bay Company's Eastern Arctic Patrol Nascopie sounded her way through Bellot Strait.

Tell us what you really think « the Air VentNothing would be worse than surrendering personal decision making to the likes of Rajendra Pachauri. The people at the top of the AGW scandal are very corrupt, typically (not atypically) have multiple conflicts of interest and a great deal of money to gain from promoting the scam of extremist AGW – not to be confused with actual physics. Al Gore is abused enough but a perfect example. Unfortunately, there seems to be quite a few scientists caught up in the game themselves.
So when people see Libertarian resistance to the solutions of AGW, they shouldn’t be surprised. The UN stands for everything I despise about human politics, were it my choice, the UN would be the first funding cut the US government made – and I do know it is used as a coercion tool to force smaller governments to stay in line. It is a highly corrupt and IMO evil organization bent on ever expanding global governance and personal influence. It needs to be dismantled before it grows any more.
The Reference Frame: Climate sensitivity from a linear fitIn this text, I would like to settle the question what is the climate sensitivity - warming attributed to CO2 doubling - from the observed CO2 concentrations and global mean temperatures from 1850. At the very beginning, let me tell you that the result will be 1.66 °C if all observed warming were due to the CO2 growth.
...
Clearly, even if you attribute everything to CO2, a warming by 1 °C per century would still represent no threat in any sense. After all, we have tried it in the 20th century, too.

More Data Refusal – Nothing Changes « Climate AuditPhil Jones and his coauthors in the recent multiproxy study (Neukom et al 2010, (Climate Dynamics) Multiproxy summer and winter surface air temperature field reconstructions for southern South America covering the past centuries) did not archive proxy data in the Supplementary Information. Many proxy series used in the study are not otherwise publicly archived.
Destroying the Credibility of ScienceBack in 1990 when I founded The National Anxiety Center as a clearinghouse for information about “scare campaigns” designed to influence public opinion and policy, I was mainly concerned about the torrent of lies about global warming.
Their beginning is usually dated to an appearance by James E. Hansen before a congressional committee in 1988 in which he claimed that global warming would destroy the earth. To this day Hansen heads the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and has held that position since 1981. There is no rational reason why he continues to be employed by the U.S. government.
Global warming has been widely discredited thanks to the November 2009 release of thousands of emails between UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change “scientists” that revealed their collusion to rig the data that supported the fraud.

GOP Targets EPA Rules To Address Global Warming : NPROn their second day in power, Republican lawmakers introduced several bills that would hamstring the Environmental Protection Agency from moving forward with regulations to reduce heat-trapping pollution from factories and other sources that they say contributes to global warming.
Express.co.uk - Global warming quango racks up £36,000 flight billSTAFF from a quango set up to lecture Scots on global warming have taken more than 100 flights around the world in just three years.
Despite preaching about air travel’s carbon footprint, bureaucrats from the Scottish Government’s Climate Change Division take regular flights to London, Brussels and even Bali.
Officials squandered even more public cash on paying “carbon levy” charges in a bid to offset the emissions generated as they jetted off to global warming events.
[Because you're stupid]: Climate change deniers don't even understand the languageNative tribes in the Arctic have to move their historic villages as the Arctic ice shrinks and Pacific nations are preparing to evacuate as sea level rise submerges their homes. To continue to ignore the obvious is to put the future of our children at risk. The world as we know it will be vastly different for them unless we act. Perhaps we should start with more emphasis on science education so that everyone can understand what is happening.

Virginia Politics Blog - U-Va. receives new FOIA for global warming documentsThe group notes that FOIA law gives the university just one week to respond to the request. If the school legally resists, it says it is prepared for a court fight.
"We can then, finally, determine what it is that so many have gone to such great lengths to keep the public from knowing about that which the public has paid for," they said in a statement.
The group's senior director of litigation, Christopher Horner, has written two books on why he believes global warming is a hoax and gives frequently speeches on the subject. He is also a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
In a statement, Mann noted that the think tank receives funding from ExxonMobile and other corporate groups.
"Industry-funded lobbyists like Horner have been using precisely the same tactics for decades to intimidate scientists whose scientific findings proved inconvenient to the vested interests they represent such as the tobacco, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries," he said.
E.P.A.

Franz Matzner, climate and air legislative director at the Natural Resources Defense Council, an advocacy group, decried the move.
"It sure didn't take long for big polluters to show what money can buy," Matzner said in a statement. "Banning or delaying the EPA from issuing any health safeguards whatsoever against carbon dioxide pollution would be nothing less than a dream-come-true for industries that would put profits ahead of our health and too many House members seem willing to do just that. It would be irresponsible for lawmakers to abolish the EPA's ability to cut carbon pollution, leaving polluters free to dump into our air without limit."
Al Gore urges China & U.S. to build greener cities | GristBEIJING -- Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore said Thursday that China and the United States -- the world's biggest polluters -- should work on designing greener cities as part of their efforts to tackle climate change.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner told an urban development conference in Beijing that energy-efficient buildings, low-emission vehicles, renewable energy resources, and more trees in urban areas would help reduce pollution.

A half million dollar coverup – and going « the Air VentSPPI sent me their press release on Cuccinelli’s efforts to make Michael Mann’s email public. I don’t for a minute believe that Cuccinelli is interested in protecting government money already spent – which is what the law is supposed to protect – he’s trying to make public Mann’s emails. This story is getting more interesting because anyone who has payed attention understands that Mann’s emails are probably so full of advocacy and underhanded dealings with the climate science community that it will make climategate look like a junior high love letter. It seems that the university is highly aware of the problems these emails will create as apparently they have spent over a half million making sure they don’t become public.
A Constructive Approach on Energy? - NYTimes.comBut I find it hard to reconcile the group’s financial support for Climate Depot with its rhetorical embrace of Richard Smalley’s vision of a sustainable energy future — which was premised on an inevitable transition away from carbon-rich fuels and included a modest tax on liquid fuels.
Smalley also was crystal clear about the need to speed the shift from energy choices that produce greenhouse gases for the sake of limiting risks of disruptive warming:
Most people who bother to read the literature about global warming agree that 750 [parts per million, or ppm, of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere] will produce a major change in the global climate. Even 550 ppm is probably high enough to kill all the coral reefs on the planet.

Opinion: Victor Davis Hanson: On climate and economy, the 'experts' are great at blather - San Jose Mercury NewsIn classical sophistic fashion, rhetoric is never far from personal profit. Multimillionaire Al Gore convinced the governments of the Western world that they were facing a global-warming Armageddon, then hired out his services to address the hysteria that he helped create.
How many climate Cassandras have well-funded research positions predicated on grants and subsidies that depend on convincing the public and government of impending disasters that they then can be hired to monitor and address? Are there no green antitrust laws? In contrast, how many of our climate theorists run irrigated farms and energy-intensive businesses at the mercy of new regulations that emanate from distant theorizing?

Are we to wonder why an angry, grass roots tea party spread -- or why it was instantly derided by our experts and technocrats as ill-informed or worse?
Barbara Boxer takes shot at GOP agenda - Darren Samuelsohn - POLITICO.comThe Environment and Public Works Committee chairwoman joined the chorus of Senate Democrats who have quickly criticized the House GOP majority as it targets rules covering everything from health care to the environment....
Boxer said she’d use press conferences and other public forums to highlight the potential political peril for Republicans who go after the Environmental Protection Agency’s rules that are directly tied to protecting public health.
“I want to tell him that I will use every single tool to me as chairman of this committee and as a senator from California to oppose any legislative effort that threatens the health or safety of the well being of the people of this great nation,” she said.

What's New by Bob Park - Friday, December 17, 20102. CANCUN: LOOKING FOR PROGRESS IN THE SECOND DERIVATIVE.
China pledged to reduce the rate at which its emissions are increasing. Well, at least they're talking, but emission rate is a second-order problem. First we should worry about the worlds uncontrolled fertility rate. Reduce the population and emissions will be reduced proportionately. It is the only emissions-control policy that is guaranteed to work. Chinas leaders know more about the population problem than anybody, having undertaken the courageous one-child policy to avert an inevitable catastrophe from Maos wacky economic theories. The mere mention of population inevitably draws comments that the industrialized nations have already achieved zero population growth and warnings by futurists such as Fred Pearce about a "population crash." The bitter truth is that Earth's population must be reduced.
Famed global-warming critic speaks in O.C. - The Orange County RegisterDavid Therox, the founder and president of institute where Singer is a research fellow, said Singer is helping his group show that the science surrounding climate change is unreliable, the consensus is questionable and that climate science has been elevated to undeserved prominence because of a desire for grant money -- all assertions rejected by mainstream climate scientists.

Wimp & Sellout Watch — No. 2 « Green Hell BlogSo Graham is trying to use the current rise in gasoline prices as a reason for his coming “clean energy standard” bill which would put a cap on carbon emissions. But the primary sources of energy that would be affected by such legislation — i.e., coal, solar & wind — have nothing to do with the price of gasoline. A carbon cap, moreover, would make gasoline even more expensive. Keep in mind that USCAP member General Electric has a wind turbine manufacturing plant in Greenville, SC.
