World Freezes With Record Cold And Snow During Hysterical Global Warming Convention Posted: 03 Dec 2010 11:39 AM PST Book burning during the dark ages. And we thought people in the Dark Ages were superstitious. It is the hottest year ever, and snow is disappearing, and icebergs are breaking off glaciers, and sea level is rising a metre, and Polar Bears are migrating south, and global warming causes AIDS and ….. Is there any limit to the dishonesty, corruption, and stupidity? Source

Avon Falling Posted: 03 Dec 2010 09:34 AM PST Cosmetics giant Avon is the latest company to join the anti-Canadian oil greenwashing parade organized by the hippies at ForestEthics. "Avon recognizes its responsibility to the environment and the world's forests," Tod Arbogast, Avon's vice-president of sustainability and corporate responsibility, said in a news release issued by ForestEthics. "That's why we've asked our transportation partners to take steps that will avoid high-impact, high-carbon fuels such as those from the tarsands."

Sen. James Inhofe Warns Against EPA Regulatory Agenda in Video to Cancun Posted: 03 Dec 2010 06:45 AM PST Image via Wikipedia Although the Obama Administration's anti-energy agenda has been defeated in the legislative arena, it remains alive in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) where backdoor regulatory efforts are now underway, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) warned in a video message to the U.N. climate change conference in Cancun. Below are his full remarks:

Book: ‘Slaying the Sky Dragon: Death of the Greenhouse Gas Theory.’ Posted: 27 Nov 2010 07:23 AM PST I can proudly announce that Amazon is now selling the ebook version of the groundbreaking climate science publication, 'Slaying the Sky Dragon: Death of the Greenhouse Gas Theory.' Our UK publishers, St Matthews Publishing and our US publisher Stairway Press will have their respective paperback versions for sale early in December.

THE PUBLIC IS NOW SO SCEPTICAL ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING Posted: 19 Nov 2010 06:26 AM PST IT SEEMS hard to believe now but until this time last year, declaring yourself a "climate change sceptic" was a bit like admitting to being a banker or the kind of person who puts cats in dustbins for fun. As a long-time "denier" I remember it well: the heated rows; the sneery  put-downs; the whispers that I'd joined the ranks of creation- ists, 9/11 "truthers" and David Icke-style conspiracy theorists who believe the world is secretly controlled by a lizard-headed master race.

Quoted as saying: Mann Posted: 08 Nov 2010 09:56 AM PST "That was bad." —Michael Mann, on his tree-ring data not reflecting true temperatures 50 years ago and then switching to different data set after 1960. A British inquiry into this revelation criticized the use of the mix-and-match data as a "misleading" portrayal of his tree-ring data and graph.

Vail Daily letter: Global warming stories are just hot air Posted: 15 Jul 2010 01:04 PM PDT Sun and Earth? Couldn't possibly have anything to do with global warming. I am thrilled to see that the Vail Daily has added a science fiction section to the paper in some issues. The report on global warming in last Friday's paper ("Study shows global warming will bring more heat waves") was a classic of the genre! It fascinates me to read about a fantasized future in which temperatures and heat have accelerated to the point that all of man kind is affected in wild, made-up scenarios.

Polar Bears Thrive, Contrary to WWF Claims Posted: 03 Jan 2010 12:16 PM PST You've probably seen the commercials; TV actor Noah Wyle (ER, The Librarian) somberly informs us of an impending grave catastrophe: "A tragedy is unfolding in the world today. Climate change is threatening one of the most magnificent wild animals on the planet. Polar bears. They're struggling to survive." Heart-tugging violins accompany video footage of a mother polar bear and her cuddly cub on a small ice flow.

Blam! Kapow! Climate Scientists in Verbal Brawl Posted: 03 Dec 2010 11:32 AM PST Blam! Kapow! Smack! The bell has rung for the latest round of climate talks, but the battle continues among climate scientists too, making only one thing truly clear -- the science of global warming simply isn't settled. Climate science suffered a black eye over the past 12 months, following revelations that the latest report from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) contained numerous errors and relied too heavily on questionable sources. At the latest climate conference in Cancun, the group will stress that its research must continue.

Cancun -- Latest Stop for the Great Global Warming Circus Posted: 29 Nov 2010 06:43 AM PST China is still chugging along the smoky road to prosperity and its carbon emissions are steadily increasing. And so the great global warming circus moves on. For the next two weeks the world's carboncrats will gather in Cancun for the latest United Nations climate conference. The aim is to negotiate a vast new international emissions trading scheme that Barack Obama wants the United States to join. But the delegates are in a state of severe, almost clinical, denial if they think they will sign a legally binding and genuinely global agreement to slash greenhouse gases. Al Gore's moment has come and gone.

IPCC Sea Level Nature Trick Posted: 29 Nov 2010 05:50 AM PST Excerpted: Global mean sea level has been rising. From 1961 to 2003, the average rate of sea level rise was 1.8 ± 0.5 mm yr–1. For the 20th century, the average rate was 1.7 ± 0.5 mm yr–1, consistent with the TAR estimate of 1 to 2 mm yr–1. There is high confidence that the rate of sea level rise has increased between the mid-19th and the mid-20th centuries. Sea level change is highly non-uniform spatially, and in some regions, rates are up to several times the global mean rise, while in other regions sea level is falling. There is evidence for an increase in the occurrence of extreme high water worldwide related to storm surges, and variations in extremes during this period are related to the rise in mean sea level and variations in regional climate.

Happy Thanksgiving from Climate Change Dispatch! Posted: 24 Nov 2010 12:51 PM PST For those of you in the U.S. and Canada, tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. As such, we'll be taking a mini-break.
