[Science and Health Blog - Mirror.co.uk] The Mount Pinatubo eruption in 1991 is believed to have offset global warming but the effect is small. Natural factors like solar activity and volcanic eruption don't account for the 0.75C rise in temperatures around 1850.

[LYNN SAMUELS] LYNN SAMUELS:: A new study by the influential American Scientist, hardly a right-wing global warming sceptic group, indicates that the Kilimanjaro glaciers are not being affected by global warming. Yet the melting of this glacier is frequently sited by Al Gore and other eco-worshipers as proof of global warming.

Of the saga of the leaked emails, he said: “If you have to argue your science by using fraud, your science is not valid.”
[Tribune-Review News] PSU professor feels fallout of e-mails - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Critics last month began attacking Mann for e-mails he received and wrote during at least a 10-year period with Phil Jones, former director of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in England. Penn State officials began an inquiry into the allegations, said Lisa Powers, a school spokeswoman, but she would not say whether university officials are investigating the integrity of Mann's research.
[New Cool Thang] New Cool Thang » Global Warming TEDTalks 2: I think it is unrealistic to believe that the recent Climategate stuff will invalidate all of the global warming research for the last fifty years. There are multitudinous points to debate in the argument about what is happening in the climate, what is causing it, and what we should do about it, but referring to all the climate scientists as “scientists”

[DailyFinance] China's $9 trillion global warming problem -- DailyFinance: But the report may not have accounted for mitigating factors resulting from global warming, often cited by global warming skeptics, that could actually reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions. One example: longer growing seasons and milder winters in the Northern Hemisphere could help plants absorb more carbon, and the types of plants that thrive could likewise suck up more carbon than their cold-loving predecessors.
[Blogger News Network] » Honest Skepticism on Global Warming - Blogger News Network: In regular arguments over the last decade or so with college chums, men and women of good will and intelligence who were convinced that AGW was real and a huge problem, they have regularly pointed to the science and the positions of the leading climatologists. I applied some discount to these evidences because of their source - climatologists are a lot more likely to get funding for detecting huge threats than they are for studying how clouds make pretty patterns, so they have a natural bias towards wanting to find something - but, though skeptics make a brave case of the dissenters, there were just so many climate people saying “oh my, it’s such a problem”
[small dead animals] small dead animals: Rex Murphy ~ Climate Change: Science or Politics?: People make various claims, but the fact of the matter is, people in the science generally cannot routinely predict what will happen two weeks, a month, or a season ahead. Some people are better than others at it, but nobody is so routinely good at it that we could turn to them and ask for their infallible opinion about what long-term trends will be.
