More Impact from Climategate

Mar 14, 2010 11:14am

Having the blog on which Climategate was noticed is kind of fun. At my request, my immediate family and friends don’t tell people about it though – haha. It didn’t stop the big-brother British anti-terror cops from finding me. Everyone in the media assumed that the tAV crowd doesn’t believe...

Symptoms in America

Mar 13, 2010 6:30am

I’m back from the trade shows and fully exhausted. This time I was in St. Louis during a time when Barack Hussein visited. I’m told he discussed health care and there were dueling protests between two distinctly different classes of individual on either side of the street. St. Louis is...

Banned in China

Mar 10, 2010 6:35am

For some of the new crowd here, tAV is considered a banned site (on and off) in China. I was able to get to WUWT but not tAV, then on a different trip, could get to both. It appears our free speech labor friends overseas see all of blogland as...

Improved Offset Temperature Calculation

Mar 9, 2010 6:21am

Roman has been working into the wee hours of the night in order to provide climatology with an improved method for anomaly calculation. As before it uses seasonal information to calculate an optimum offset. It’s exciting to me because it represents one more of the true improvements coming from skeptical...

IPCC Ignored Wildfire Corrections — 3 times

Mar 8, 2010 4:54pm

Three times the IPCC was warned that the obviously, blatantly idiotic global warming wildfire claims in the 3000 page AR4 report were actually idiotic. Three times the warnings were ignored. Climatequotes – click the headline below to go to the article. ——— IPCC reviewers pointed out wildfire mistake, ignored by authors In a...

Culture of Certainty

Mar 7, 2010 10:21pm

I’ve spent several hours today looking at gridded temperature but didn’t finish again. It was only at a quarter to eleven tonight that something struck me which seemed to need to be said. All my favorite blogs are overrun by new readers ready to slaughter any climate scientists AGW conclusions...

Gutting the credibiltiy of question?

Mar 4, 2010 9:42pm

This is big news, simply because it’s insane. More emails were released regarding the fight back plan by climate science. If you guessed they would open the data and methods for review and discuss reasonably the solutions they present — you were wrong. Climate scientists plot to hit back at...

Where Has All the Carbon Gone?

Mar 3, 2010 11:33pm

This post covers a very important topic which is a new interest of mine. Understanding how climate works is a series of layers, in this case DeWitt discovered some interesting discrepancies between atmospheric carbon models and measured results. Guest post by DeWitt Payne. ——— Where Has All the Carbon Gone? (Sung to the...

Natural Cycles

Mar 3, 2010 8:27am

There is so much to write on, but my frustration with what is happening to this world is overwhelming. It’s impossible to write anything, I spent my last few days in hiding. Buried in math, hoping that some sanity will return when I pop my head back up. Instead...

Gridded GHCN Temps R2.5

Mar 1, 2010 8:01pm

In recent months, several bloggers have worked out their own gridded temperature series. I’ve made several attempts, gradually improving each one. This particular version isn’t yet perfect but it’s getting to a point where the quality isn’t far off from what the pro’s do, not that there aren’t errors lurking...

A Half Hour of Wrongthink by Michael Mann

Mar 1, 2010 7:30am

I couldn’t finish this, there is an MP3 at the bottom of the page linked below. Michael Mann defends……well everything ….the team has done. Listen to it at your own risk, I linked it here with the warning that you must understand it will cost you IQ points and you...

UEA Culture of Corruption

Feb 28, 2010 6:16am

After reviewing some of the links people have left here, my opinion on this is that Lulu is probably unable to substantiate his accusations. This Parliament comment should probably be ignored until some substantiation is offered. —- It appears the Parliamentary submissions are heating up. Reader Curious left a link to a...

EE Editor Submission to UK Parliament

Feb 28, 2010 5:57am

Dr. Peiser’s complete submission to the UK Parliamentary Committee is complete below. Dr. Peiser was editor of the journal which handled the fraud allegations on the urban warming papers by Jones and Wang. These papers were used to present urban warming as having a minimal effect on the surface temperature record,...

Evil Denialist Blog Polls

Feb 26, 2010 5:13pm

I’m curious what the readers here think about the effect of CO2 on global warming. Writing a poll which will please a bunch of natural skeptics is about as likely as the moon exploding tomorrow but I’m going to write one anyway. The purpose of this isn’t to pick which...
