NASA's Hansen stands accused of 'blatant scientific fraud': 'Before Hansen tampered with data, temps in 1880s were nearly as warm in US as they were in 1990s'

'The rise has been an average of 5 human hair widths per annum, with most of that over 60 years ago...Sea level rise the second last refuge of the global warming scoundrel, with ocean acidification being the last refuge. It no longer provides any refuge now that the relationship with solar activity has been quantified'

'Extensive study of corals spanning more than 1000km of Australia's coastline that the past 110 years of ocean warming has been good for their growth. The findings undermine blanket predictions that global warming will devastate coral reefs'

Response: 'If my dentist tells me that my heart surgeon was caught emailing other surgeons about how to use tricks to hide declines, that he broke laws of reason, that his predictions are basically all wrong, or that his model of understanding is demonstrably wrong, then I'm listening to the dentist'

Climate Depot Response to Dan Weiss: 'You have your metaphors all mixed up. It should be: 'To accept these latest claims by quack doctors -- like James Hansen, Michael Oppenheimer and Kevin Trenberth -- is like ignoring reams of evidence that they should have their licenses revoked for repeated malpractice'

'This is what is known in the trade as a straw man. Nobody is arguing that temperatures have gone up, including the 16 signatories of the Wall Street Journal letter. Somehow one expects that Nobel laureates would be able to string together a logical argument'

'Data from Hadley shows that the temperature has in fact declined over the past decade'

North: 'McIntyre does have a point in that most of our research has been supported by US Taxpayers...as scientists we all owe it to each other to share information to the maximum extent possible'

'The travesty of Kevin Trenberth's climate predictions is only challenged by those of climate modeler James Hansen - they are both consistently wrong'

Habibullo I. Abdussamatov, Pulkovo Observatory of the Russian Academy of Science, St. Petersburg, 196140, Russia -- Applied Physics Research, Vol. 4, No. 1 February 2012: Abstract: 'We can expect the onset of a deep bicentennial minimum of total solar irradiance (TSI) in approximately 2042±11 and the 19th deep minimum of global temperature in the past 7500 years – in 2055±11.'

Rebuttal: 'Wrong answer!! If you need surgery you DON'T want 'a highly experienced expert in the field who has done a large number of the proposed operations.' What you want is 'a highly experienced expert in the field who has CONVINCING EVIDENCE THAT HIS OR HER OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL! (& Necessary) And if before I go to a dentist,I would like evidence that the dentist does not pull the wrong teeth (even on occasion)'

'This whole discipline stands on the assumption that there's something very interesting to study about the sufficiently significant and observable (by assumption) effects of the human activity (analogy of the planets) on the Earth's climate and ecosystem (analogy of the human fates in astrology)'

'Is the maths they use in climatology a bit different?'

'They used scientific language, a dash of humor and colorful quotes to make their cases...Professor Carter said distinguished scientists were ''in this game of hyping up' climate change and sea level rise. He said models that scientists were using to predict rising sea levels were ''sheer fantasy''. 'It's insane public policy to base planning regulations on average global sea level'

'The radiative forcing of the CO2 we have already put in the atmosphere in the last century is ... the equivalent in energy terms to almost half a billion Hiroshima bombs each year'

'The number of these 'heretics' is growing,and 'the reason is a collection of stubborn scientific facts.' The chief among these 'stubborn scientific facts' is that the global warming scare was bunk from the beginning,promoted by high priests of the great god Science,not actual scientists in pursuit of secular knowledge. (Think Al Gore.)'

'It should be part of a rethink of the world's economy, in which green issues and social questions should be integrated into the search for profit...'The new capitalism which emerges from the crisis has to be environmental, or it won't be new...We are looking for a new kind of environmental governance, something more inclusive, in which all parties have a stake and it's not just governments which have the right to speak'

'The area right where [Gore, Hansen, Branson, Trenberth,etc.] are is running about 15°C (27°F) colder than normal ... and normal even in the summer is kinda cold to start with. Thank goodness for the Gore Effect. Just think of what rubbish those jokers would have written if it had been 27°F warmer than normal down there,or 54°F warmer than what they are actually experiencing '

Sen. Inhofe responds to Nader and Rep. Markey

'Some, like the Weather Channel's founder John Coleman are vocal in their opposition: 'It is the greatest scam in history'

'The Romney campaign exploited a 2008 video in which Gingrich and Pelosi cooperated to promote action on climate change. Those attacks intensified when the campaign suggested that liberal billionaire George Soros helped to underwrite the video by giving $5 million in 2008 to the Alliance for Climate Protection, the nonprofit championed by Al Gore that produced the clip'

'Could lead to a catastrophic geyser shooting up up...weather above Antarctica could be altered'

UN panel: 'Current global development is unsustainable' - EU Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard, said report should be a 'wake up' call for action. Hedegaard said the Rio+20 summit was an opportunity to 'kick off this global transition towards a sustainable growth model for the 21st century'

'AGW theory proposes that increased CO2 levels lead to increased water vapor in atmosphere (despite empirical data which shows the opposite). A paper published in Nature Climate Change February 2012 studied rainfall over Indian subcontinent 1813-2006 & finds rainfall has decreased since 1930s as CO2 emissions markedly increased. The data instead shows a natural, cyclical variability in mean annual rainfall that peaked in 1870s and 1930s with absolutely no correlation to levels of CO2'

'They obviously think that some of their employees may not know the true gospel or (horrors) not agree with it. So they have circulated a catechism to all their employees in the form of a questionnaire with the 'correct' answers marked. The correct answers are also accompanied by scriptural (IPCC) references to support each answer. The catechism has been "leaked" to Climate Depot'

'The 79 scientist are those that said they have recently published 50% of their papers in the area of climate change. Of these, 76 of 79 answered 'risen' to questions one (96.2%). How this number is not 100% is very strange. As to question two 75 of 77 answered 'yes' (97.4%). This response does not necessarily mean that the respondent was attributing the significant human activity to the use of fossil fuels'

'You apparently get an 'A' if you believe in the unscientific Nonsensus'

For his advisers on energy policy, Romney has assembled...James Connaughton who headed of WH Council on Env. Quality for 8 years'

Flashback 2007: Warmist Connaughton bragged 'about U.S. 'commitment to leadership in effort to develop a new post-2012 UN framework on climate change' -- Claimed AGW 'science' had 'progressed' & 'has deepened our understanding'

Morano: 'Ad is an insult to space aliens. Why would space aliens be impressed with a car that already had the same results in 1896? The 1896 Roberts electric car got the exact same battery range as the Chevy volt -- 40 miles. If people are sober, they are not going to be swayed by this [Volt] ad. With all the govt mandates and subsidies, this is what is known as a huge government boondoggle'

'The German climate advisor has called for a carbon dioxide budget for every human being on the planet -- and Morano talks further about effor at UN conf. in Durban to recognize the 'rights of mother earth' -- 'White wealthy environmentalists are telling poor people of color worldwide that they are doing it right -- by remaining poor, with low life expectancy'

Kloor: 'The climate community is fighting a battle on Morano's terms...Climate scientists are the U.S. military presence & Morano & his like-minded band of ideologues are the Taliban...The Taliban, like Morano, are fiercely puritanical. They are not averse to cleansing their own side. Morano has shown that in GOP Pres. race, where he's gone after candidates...Not coincidentally, (AGW) has become a litmus test for GOP...The Taliban, like Morano, are excellent provocateurs'

'Once the temperature rises again, the landmark statue designed back in 1618, is set to resume its peeing duties'

'American Bird Conservancy, the nation's leading bird conservation organization, said the build-out of wind energy proposed by fed govt to meet a Department of Energy target of generating 20% of the nation's electricity through wind power is expected to kill at least one million birds per year by 2030, and probably significantly more'

'Wind turbine companies, officers and employees, however, are immune from prosecution, fines or imprisonment, regardless of how many rare, threatened, endangered or migratory birds and bats they kill. In fact, FWS data show that wind turbines slaughter some 400,000 birds every year. If “helter-skelter” applies to any energy source, it is wind turbines, reflecting their Charles Manson effect on birds'

Spain abolishes subsidies for new renewable energy sources

'It is hundredths of a degree F. difference between ['hottest'] years, well beyond anything that is in margin of error. Scientists have called idea that we are in hottest decade 'a joke'...In peer-reviewed journals they admitted global warming stopped in 1998...They are now saying our use of coal is preventing us from dangerous warming -- the irony! Warmists now 'shifting to blaming every flood, drought, tornado, hurricane, & even earthquake, on AGW. You can't falsify the theory'

Joel Connelly of Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Climate Depot 'deploys scattergun attacks. It sneers at 'power elites' and such prominent greens as Al Gore & Leonardo DiCaprio. (Big Oil & Big Coal are apparently not part of these 'elites'.) It debunks public investment in alternative technologies ('green failures'). It suggests, against all evidence compiled by U.N. & NOAA, that Arctic ice pack is not shrinking & 'Global Cooling Coming?'
