Methane Leak
Scientists have discovered the Arctic ocean seabed is leaking huge amounts of methane into the atmosphere.  The research published in the journal Science shows the permafrost under the East Siberian Arctic shelf, which was thought to be a barrier sealing methane, is perforated.  Read more here.

NYT: Pachauri Faces Credibility Siege
The New York Times is reporting that: Dr. Pachauri and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are now under intense scrutiny, facing accusations of scientific sloppiness and potential financial conflicts of interest from climate skeptics, right-leaning politicians and even some mainstream scientists.  More here.

UK Met Office Can't Forecast Weather
The UK Met Office is debating what to do with its long-term and seasonal forecasting after criticism for failing to predict extreme weather.   It was predicted that this winter would be warmer than average – yet it has been unusually cold.  Read more here. (2)

Australian IPS Space Weather Agency Moves Solar Cycle 24 Predication Away by 6 Months

Due to the proximity of the IPS predicted rise of solar cycle 24 to observed solar cycle 23 solar minimum values, and the apparent lack of new Cycle 24 sunspots, IPS has again moved the predicted solar cycle away by 6 months.

Ionospheric Prediction Service (IPS): CYCLE 24 PREDICTION MOVED AWAY BY 6 MONTHS

    Louis – all you have to say is that you fully support Archibald’s papers. Is that what you’re saying?

  2. Comment from: Louis Hissink


    Luke,

    No, I never ever said that – what jooo-joo juice are you on in Canberra?

    NEWS FLASH: The IPS has been using the numbers: 2, 5, 14, 19, 22, 29, 34 and 38 for TattsLotto for the past few years. These numbers were based upon the results of 18 months analysis using the most powerful supercomputer in Australia.

    However, it has become increasingly apparent that these numbers are “unlucky” numbers, because…well…they just haven’t come up!

    Therefore, the IPS has decided to commission a new, more powerful, hideously more expensive supercomputer, which we fully expect will have complete accuracy at predicting the TattsLotto numbers.

    For the sake of clarification, the IPS stresses that it was not the theory, the algorithim, nor the skill of the researchers which was at fault in this latest attempt – it was the fault of all levels of government, as they would not spend sufficient money on programs which would have ensured that reality conformed with theory.

    The IPS affirms the IPCC’s position that, given sufficient funding, the rules of logic and science will give way to the shear weight of money and the future will become predictable.

    Well if it isn’t the Archibald hahahahaha argument. What an idiot you are Luke. Archibald is mostly just reporting what the solar people already know. So whats your problem. You are not a scientist Luke. You are an idiot. Nexus has no valid argument against Archibald. Nexus is just another idiot like yourself.

  5. Comment from: Luke


    Mate are you really that thick. Seriously? Well I guess your photo answers that eh?

  6. Comment from: GraemeBird.


    No no. You’re an idiot. Archibald was reporting a scoop. It wasn’t primary research. It was an important article and a very good one. You are just a moron.

    What he reported was that temperature follows solar activity. This knowledge had been forgotten and bludgeoned out of us by leftist liars like yourself.

  7. Comment from: GraemeBird.


    You’ve got to remember Luke. You fell for this baseless racket. I didn’t. That makes you the blockhead.

  8. Comment from: gavin


    Luke: Was that pic the Dobell one?

  9. Comment from: GraemeBird.


    You too gavin. You fell for this nonsense. That makes you the dunce-cap-wearer. And me the smart guy, even if only in comparison to you.

    Imagine you clowns being so stupid that you fall for something for which you yourselves can find no supporting evidence.

    Thats a whole lot of dumb going on between your ears gavin.

  10. Comment from: gavin


    Resonance hey!

    Luke: We’ve right on that cavity.

  11. Comment from: GraemeBird.


    You are not right on anything gavin. You are an idiot. And evidence-free blockhead.

  12. Comment from: Luke


    Gavin – it’s a wonder he’s allowed day leave – I guess it’s an outlet for him.

  13. Comment from: GraemeBird.


    You and Gavin are the idiots here mate. I’ve watched this blog a very long time and neither or your morons have come up with any evidence yet.

  14. Comment from: GraemeBird.


    Come on you two incompetent idiots. Lets have that evidence. And when you find it can you for the love of God go tell that moron Barry Brook.

  15. Comment from: TheWord


    Hmmm…Just to try and ask a serious question here for a minute: can anyone tell me why the BOM is still operating with a climate normal period of 1961 to 1990, when calculating anomalies?

    Considering the last year of this “normal” period occurred 18 years ago, it just seems a bit odd.

  16. Comment from: GraemeBird.


    Its blatant obscurantism in the general. And specifically it can be used to dupe people into thinking the weather isn’t colder than “usual”

    There is no objective need to graph “anomalies”. Its bad practice. What they ought to be graphing is temperature. People are always doing this. Making up imaginary constructs and throwing them into the works to make matters less clear to the laity than they ought to be. Actually the Doctor was probably committing some sort of heresy by bringing some attention to this shabby practice.

    Specifically It allows them to pretend that we are now warmer than “normal”. But that would be a surprise to anyone on the ground and not subject to the warmers propaganda.

    We ought to be pedantic about this sort of thing. Systematically cleansing the science of any misleading practices or terms. Like for example their ought not be such a term as “forcing” This is a highly processed and hypothetical concept and so its extremely misleading.

    I couldn’t even figure out what these people were on about when I first heard this jive about anomalies and forcing. Forcing really means “hypothetical changes to a hypothetical equilibrium global temperature as expressed in an hypothetical increase/decrease in watts per square metre due to an hypothetical one-step change in something or other.”

    So the very term “forcing” imbeds circular reasoning into the process. And the term “anomaly” is an unnecessary bit of idiocy meant to confuse people and make insiders feel special about themselves.

    Graeme, re anomalies, humans have always blamed the sun gods when they could not work out the forcings for anomalies like crop failures. So nothing new under the ………..

    Jennifer,
    I understand you were the defendant in the court case about Global Warming causing damage to coastline, because of the claimed rise in ocean levels.
    If you would like to have copy of the report I recently completed showing the results from the study of 287 locations, covering all 100 years of the 20th century, I would be glad to send it to you, via “snail mail”, as it is not something I did with Windows, so I cannot send it via an e-mail attachment.
    Briefly, the results are as follows for the 20th century, all 100 years for each location, 1900-1999. The figures I will show here are the rate direction and rate of temperature change for three different regressions on each location, results shown as change in degrees F., per century.
    Average of all 287 locations:
    All 100 years +0.82
    1900-1933 +3.21
    1934-1999 +0.08

    In other words, the period 1900-1933 warmed at 40 times as rapid rate as did the remainder of the century! Most important, the really rapid rate of warming took place decades prior to the large scale usage of fossil fuels. There is no way Carbon Dioxide can be causing warming, because there isn’t any significant warming, and the rate of warming essentially stopped after the early 1930’s. In the 66 years 1934-1999, the TOTAL amount of warming, as an average of all these 287 locations was approximately 0.05 degrees F. 268 of these locations were from the US, 265 of them from the NOAA file on temperature data. All as rate/century.
    The environmentalists, the media, and “Vested Interest Al Gore” try to tell us the high latitudes are warming more rapidly than in the more temperature parts of our planet.

    For the non-US locations in this tabulation referred to above, the below gives the details for some “Far North” locations.
    Avg., Temperature Change Per Century
    Nation/Location No. locations 1900-1999 1900-1933 1934-1999
    Denmark 2 +0.84 +1.88 -0.41
    Greenland 5 +0.43 +12.39 -3.74
    Iceland 2 +0.72 +6.26 -1.75
    Norway 6 +1.09 +3.78 0.00

    Average of the 15 locations above +0.79 +7.14 -1.53

    A bit dificult to make a case for Global Warming isn’t it?
