- Forecasting23 August 2010, 3:34 pm
One of the defenses often used by climate modelers against charges that climate is simple to complex to model accurately is that “they do it all the time in finance and economics.” This comes today from Megan McArdle on economic forecasting:
I find this pretty underwhelming, since private forecasters also unanimously think they can make [...]...
- Why It Is Good to Have Two Sides of A Debate12 August 2010, 5:27 pm
With climate alarmists continuing to declare climate debate to be over and asking skeptics to just go away, we are reminded again why it is useful to have two sides in a debate. Few people on any side of any question typically are skeptical of data that support their pet hypotheses. So, in order to [...]...
- Just When I Thought I Had Seen the Worst Possible Peer-Reviewed Climate Work…12 August 2010, 5:09 pm
This is really some crazy-bad science in a new study by Welch et al on Asian rice yields purporting to show that they will be reduced by warmer weather. This is an odd result on its face, given that rice yields have been increasing as the world has warmed over the last 50 years.
Now, it [...]...
- Computers are Causing Global Warming12 August 2010, 4:55 pm
At least, that is, in Nepal. Willis Eschenbach has an interesting post looking into the claim that Nepal has seen one of the highest warming rates in the world (thus threatening Himalayan glaciers, etc etc). It turns out there is one (1) GISS station in Nepal, and oddly enough the raw data shows a cooling [...]...
- Garbage In, Money Out29 July 2010, 5:44 pm
In my Forbes column last week, I discuss the incredible similarity between the computer models that are used to justify the Obama stimulus and the climate models that form the basis for the proposition that manmade CO2 is causing most of the world’s warming.
The climate modeling approach is so similar to [...]...
- You Know it Has to Be A Skeptic Writing When You See This21 July 2010, 4:50 am
I have followed Roy Spencer’s work for a while on trying to measure climate feedback effects from satellite data. In general, I give him Kudos for actually working on what is really THE critical problem that separates climate catastrophe from climate rounding error. It is good someone is working on this, rather than, say, how [...]...
- Does This Sound Familiar to Anyone?16 July 2010, 6:45 pm
Greg Mankiw on scoring the federal stimulus package:
the CEA took a conventional Keynesian-style macroeconomic model and used those set of equations to estimate the effect the stimulus should have had. Essentially, the model offers an estimate of the policy’s effect, conditional on the model being a correct description of the world. But notice that this exercise is [...]...
- Might As Well Be Walking on the Sun14 July 2010, 4:48 pm
Steve Goddard and Anthony Watt have a series of posts on an old favorite topic on this site — how data manipulations back in the climate office is creating a lot of the “measured” warming. This particular example is right here in Arizona, and features several sites my son and I surveyed for Anthony’s site. [...]...

I know I am late on this but I am trying to spool back up on this site so allow me to catch up. It turned out that that the IPCC’s Amazon claim (that 40% of the rain forest was at risk from global warming) came from the Facebook page of a 12-year-old girl. OK, [...]...
- Great Academics Go Along With the Pack14 July 2010, 4:13 pm
It would be an understatement to say that much of the focus in villifying skeptics has been on the skeptic’s funding. The storyline goes that skeptics are only fighting the obvious because they are paid off by oil and coal companies.
But of course, it turns out that global warming alarmists get far more funding than [...]...

- ICOADS – Hawaii2 September 2010, 1:24 am
Although the formatting of the SST datasets needs to be completely freshened up, once again, before commenting, I commend the SST collaters for honoring their data by ensuring the preservation of comprehensive metadata – as opposed to their cousins at CRU and GISS. Unfortunately, there don’t seem to be any statistical analyses of SST measurements [...]...
- A First Look at ICOADS30 August 2010, 9:27 pm
For quite a while, I’ve urged people interested in gridded temperatures to really look at the SST data – realdata not adjusted data. SST makes up 2/3 of the record, but temperature critics spend 99.99% of their time on land data. In part, it’s because the data sets are much larger, but increased power of [...]...

Leo Hickman, Guardian’s ‘ethical’ agony aunt, usually occupies himself with the kind of pointless, trivial, and often completely bizarre ethical questions that only trouble the most moneyed and morally-disoriented environmentalist:

As has been said before on this blog, environmentalism is not as much an concrete idea in itself as it is a constellation of phenomena.

In the previous two posts, I looked at the first lectures by Royal Society president, Martin Rees. This post relates to his third of four lectures, ‘What We’ll Never Know’. Lighter on the doom, it is a less dark story than the previous lectures. Indeed, Rees makes little mention of the climate.
