Leading Climate Scientists Don’t Really Believe Their Climate Theory (Part 1)
Belief in the truth of a theory is inversely proportional to the precision of the science. At least that is what someone called Harris once said. Modern climate science theory seems to be a case in point with imprecise extrapolation from often … [Read more...] about Leading Climate Scientists Don’t Really Believe Their Climate Theory (Part 1)
Bull Market in Environmental Guilt
"This is strange territory. The Dow is down. Wall Street needs a bailout. But in the Washington area and across the country, there is still a bull market in environmental guilt. Sales of carbon offsets -- whose buyers pay hard cash to make amends … [Read more...] about Bull Market in Environmental Guilt
Mobile Phones to Track Carbon Footprint
I gather there are three 'things' now shared by most communities on this earth: keys, money and mobile phones. So with the development of new software that enables mobile phones to track our carbon footprint, well, perhaps we can each soon be … [Read more...] about Mobile Phones to Track Carbon Footprint
New Detailed Analysis of Global Temperature Data Does Not Support Significant Role for Carbon Dioxide
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stated that: Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations, … [Read more...] about New Detailed Analysis of Global Temperature Data Does Not Support Significant Role for Carbon Dioxide
Temperature Trends and Carbon Dioxide: A Note from Cohenite
Hi Jennifer, Looking at the temperature trends from 1900-2008, it is not clear that there is a carbon dioxide signal. In a recent post I looked at how base periods can create an artificial upwards temperature … [Read more...] about Temperature Trends and Carbon Dioxide: A Note from Cohenite
