[Tim Worstall] Oh dear Richard, oh dear: The position has remained unchanged whether I’ve been writing for Techcentralstation (which if you are to believe certain stories was funded by Exxon, just as Murphy himself is sometimes funded by the Ford Foundation), the Adam Smith Institute, The Register, the Guardian’s CiF, this blog, in fact anywhere that I’ve been writing.

[GreenBusinessAfrica.com] GreenBusinessAfrica.com » Climate Change Concerns by African ...: Driving the growing concern are findings that apparently buttress fears already expressed by experts commissioned by the UN to ascertain the state of the Earth’s weather and its implications for the future, through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - a 2,500 strong body of experts whose work form the basis for negotiations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

[Greenfyre's] Climate change Bytes and Blogs V « Greenfyre's: The latest output from the “Institute of a Stable climate” that suggests “invisible plasma comets” are responsible for Australia’s record high temperatures and drought, has sealed the reputation for climate change deniers as”¦differently-abled in the sanity sphere.

[Climate Progress] Energy and Global Warming News for July 27th: The Fertile Crescent ...: Is it the final curtain for the Fertile Crescent? This summer, as Turkish dams reduce the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to a trickle, farmers abandon their desiccated fields across Iraq and Syria, and efforts to revive the Mesopotamian marshes appear to be abandoned, climate modellers are warning that the current drought is likely to become permanent.

[Global Climate Change Information] Important Resource Material on Climate War Scenarios | Global ...: “The IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report says that the Himalayan glaciers - which form the largest body of ice outside the polar caps and which are the source of water for the ”˜innumerable rivers that flow across the Indo-Gangetic plains’ - are receding faster than in any other part of the world, primarily because of climate change. The report adds that, at their current rate, the glaciers are likely to disappear by 2035, if not sooner.

[Crikey » Politics] Kiribati and Tuvalu climate change strategy: total evacuation - Crikey: Both Oxfam and the Australia Institute note that Australia (and New Zealand) appear unwilling to develop a strategy for, or even discuss, forced migration among the Pacific’s 8 million people. The Institute reports that Department of Immigration officials as recently as October last year were explaining the lack of planning for displacement of Pacific people by climate change on the basis that mitigation was the key to addressing climate change, followed by “internal relocation” and international resettlement as a last resort.

[Voices] 21st CENTURY CLIMATE BLUEPRINTS: PERSPECTIVES FROM THE RECENT ...: Based on the recent Copenhagen Synthesis Report [2], climate change trends at the top range of IPCC 2007 projections [2], and the identification of tipping points in the recent history of the atmosphere/ocean system i.e. at 14 - 11 and 8.2 thousand years-ago [3], the scale and pace of 21st Century climate changes [4] require re-consideration of mitigation and adaptation strategies.

[Watts Up With That?] Lindzen on Climate Hysteria « Watts Up With That?: So, although a basic training in environmental sciences (ecology, geology, climatology, biology etc.) will be included, you will also get a foundation in social science (politics, economics, sociology etc.) However, it is probably only in the first year that you will encounter these traditional disciplines as separate subjects. A genuinely inter-disciplinary Environmental Studies degree will offer integrated modules in areas like waste management, rural and urban planning, ecotourism and resource management, gradually becoming more specialised as you progress to your final year.

[Whatanews4u.Sports] BBC - Climate Change: The Blog of Bloom: Deep-sea heat: now ...: In Colorado (and elsewhere in the USA and Canada) milder winters, earlier springs and droughts in the recent past have encouraged the spread of Beetles that infest trees to such a great extent they kill them in great numbers. Thats another example of an alteration to the disturbance regime.

[Climate Thinkers Blog] The Climate Imperative - COP15 United Nations Climate Change ...: In order to focus on this set of outcomes, the IPCC has come up with a best estimate at the lower end of this range of 1.8ËšC, and 4ËšC at the upper end. Even at the lower estimate, the consequences of climate change could be severe in several parts of the world, including an increase in water stress, serious effects on ecosystems and food security, and threats to life and property as a result of coastal flooding.

[Jennifer Marohasy] Jennifer Marohasy » Australian Liberal Party Dumps Climate Sceptic ...: None of the IPCC’s scientists, including its Australian contributors like Pep Canadell and Mike Raupach at CSIRO and Will Steffen at ANU, has explained why the world should reduce emissions to 40 per cent of the 2000 level when uplifts average 57 per cent of ongoing post-2000 emissions. Steffen presides over the ANU’s Climate Change Institute, which is having an Open Day (27 July).

[WE Blog] Open thread 7/27 | WE Blog | Wichita Eagle Blogs: Recent work (Tsonis et al, 2007), suggests that this variability is enough to account for all climate change since the 19th Century. Supporting the notion that man has not been the cause of this unexceptional change in temperature is the fact that there is a distinct signature to greenhouse warming: surface warming should be accompanied by warming in the tropics around an altitude of about 9km that is about 2.5 times greater than at the surface.

[Solve Climate: Daily Climate News and Opinion] Today's Climate: July 22, 2009 | SolveClimate.com: The head of the IPCC warns that trade tariffs in a House-passed bill to limit greenhouse gases have only served to irritate international negotiations and could undermine efforts to persuade developing countries to join a new global warming treaty.

[Dewayne-Net Technology Weblog] Australian Government: “Climate Change Science - Faster Change and ...: Climatic features such as extreme events, abrupt changes, and the nonlinear behaviour of climate system processes will increasingly drive impacts on people and ecosystems. Despite these complexities, effective societal adaptation strategies can be developed by enhancing resilience or, where appropriate, building the capacity to cope with new climate conditions.

[Climate Thinkers Blog] Climate Change Impacts in Eastern Ganga Basin: Responding within a ...: The Eastern Ganga Basin (EGB), consisting of parts of Tibet, North India, Nepal and Bangladesh, is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, in part because a large proportion of its population is engaged in primary sector livelihoods, like agriculture and fishing, which depend on favorable climatic conditions. A combination of geographic and climatological factors also exacerbates the region’s vulnerability: millions will be affected when the pattern of the monsoon and the hydrologic characteristics of EGB rivers alter.

[MoJo Blogs and Articles] Climate Change and Failing States | Mother Jones: It's also worth pointing out that severe climate events can occur even in the absence of global warming. [And of course severe climate events can occur in the presence of global warming but be fairly independent of that warming, a point that appears to confound advocates on both sides.] It is in this light, IMHO, that arguments against making any attempt to aid other countries deal with climate-related problems (whether due to natural or man-made variability) are more clearly seen to be made in bad faith.
