[Environmental Economics] He described global warming as “the best example of externalities”. In other words, the cost involved of contributing to global warming is “external” to those producing the carbon emissions and is borne by others.

[Global Warming & Climate Change] Is climate change and global warming the same thing.?: It used to be global cooling and they were also thinking about changing it again to global climate disruption. I guess there is a reason for the name changes as I heard there was a lot of global warming and cooling throughout the last century.

[Dr. Leonard Coldwell] UN subterfuge”¦the global warming hoax: and Robert Matthews were the central figures in convincing the US government that climate change was a threat. Kukla worked with geologist Robert Matthews of Brown University, and presented the conference: “The Present Interglacial: How and When will it End?” Their presentation influenced President Nixon to create the “Panel on the Present Interglacial.”

[Climate Progress] Energy and global warming news for January 17, 2011: Bill Koch's ...: More than 2 million people, stretching from the Andes to the coastal cities, get their drinking water and irrigation from rivers fed by glacier runoff from Cordillera Blanca. But research by Cesar Portocarrero, the Peruvian government’s lead glacier scientist, shows the Cordillera Blanca has lost 30 percent of its glaciers since 1970.

[John Sunol] John Sunol: Global warming on other planets in the solar system ...: I find interesting that "skeptics" so eagerly recommend taking the enormous amount of highly accurate data available for Earth with a grain of salt (or the all shaker for that matter), while at the same time accepting wild conclusions on poorly understood extra-terrestrial "climates" based on very scant, spotty observations. If you want to tell me about climate change on outer SS planets, I'll take the skeptical approach and ask for some serious climate history and data before considering any conclusion.

[The SPPI Blog] Is Global Warming Driving Outbreaks of Tick-Borne Diseases? | The ...: After describing some of the outbreaks of tick-borne disease in Europe over the past couple of decades, Randolph states that “the inescapable conclusion is that the observed climate change alone cannot explain the full heterogeneity in the epidemiological change, either within the Baltic States or amongst Central and Eastern European countries,” citing the work of Sumilo et al.

[Universe Today] Sun Plays A Major Role In Climate Change: This baseline value will also help ensure that we can maintain this important climate data record for years into the future, reducing the risks from a potential gap in spacecraft measurements.” Lean said, “We are eager to see how this lower irradiance value affects global climate models, which use various parameters to reproduce current climate: incoming solar radiation is a decisive factor. An improved and extended solar data record will make it easier for us to understand how fluctuations in the Sun’s energy output over time affect temperatures, and how Earth’s climate responds to radiative forcing.” Lean’s model, which is now adjusted to the new lower absolute TSI values, reproduces with high fidelity the TSI variations that TIM observes and indicates that solar irradiance levels during the recent prolonged solar minimum period were likely comparable to levels in past solar minima.

[POWIP] Global Warming Hard Sell Gone Wild!! | POWIP: With the constant crying to media concerning their forced backtracking by industry Nazi’s and ignorant yahoos, AGW hard cores have been scrambling to try and come up with important, weighty tomes to convince people that the Earth is deep frying to a crackly crunch (as opposed to the top of the environmental haters “baking to a delicate crunch.”) This requires really big acts and really, really big sacrifices. Yawns have been spawned aplenty lately, especially the last month of creaming winter storms.
