Called Decadal and Regional Climate Prediction Using Earth System Models (EaSM), the program is designed to generate models that -- significantly more powerful than existing models -- can help decision-makers develop adaptation strategies addressing climate change.

[Global Issues News Headlines] Climate Change: Hope in 100000 Flavours ”” Global Issues: In Copenhagen itself, in Halmtorvet near the site of a parallel conference organised by civil society, Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) held the Flood for Climate Justice.

[Larvatus Prodeo] Climate change and climate science at Larvatus Prodeo: In fact, the existence of additional dimensions beyond the scientific has no bearing whatsoever on the relevance of the tiny minority of scientists who think that the consensus science of anthropogenic climate change is fundamentally wrong. But since it seems to be confusing one of Australia’s most prominent journalists (one whose work I have long admired, for instance, his work on energy topics at Four Corners was truly excellent), it’s worth examining what the role of science, and scientists, in the broader public discussion on climate change is, and the role of journalists in reporting it.

[News] Does even Ian McEwan know what Ian McEwan really thinks about ...: McEwan is in many ways the closest thing we have to a national novelist - he is a winner of the Booker Prize, his books are frequently transferred to the screen and he is the only literary novelist to find himself with any regularity on the bestseller lists. He has long been celebrated as a master of macabre, and of the realist novel, and with Solar he has proved, after the qualified success of Saturday, that he is a fine proponent of the state-of-the-nation novel, too - one delivered not as a polemic, such as the Poet Laureate’s poem “Atlas”, but as a dark satire.

Delegates renewed their conclusion from previous meetings that the greatest conservation challenge to the polar bear is ecological change in the Arctic related to climate warming.

[Mises Economics Blog] Malthus and Mein Kampf come to Cork ”” Mises Economics Blog: The Gaia principle puts forward the concept that the biosphere is a complex system of feedbacks involving biological and non-biological elements operating over a wide variety of timescales. There is much evidence to suggest that this is how earth’s climate has remained so stable over geological periods of time (in spite of insolation increasing steadily over billions of years) –

[BraveNewClimate] Do climate sceptics and anti-nukes matter? or: How I learned to ...: Lastly, I said above that I’d hand over to Barry, but now it is becoming less about Barry interacting with you on the science and more about Barry protecting this blog from trolls. You repeatedly assert bizarre conspiracy theories and nasty allegations of professional misconduct (with all climatologists falling prey to jumping to conclusions without scientific evidence, and falling into a religious mode of thinking) while your OWN posts lack evidence, rationale, or links to peer reviewed literature.

[The Irish Economy] The Irish Economy » Blog Archive » Is Dublin Missing out on ...: Walsh’s exercise on the met data for Dublin Airport points to a problem that may be part of climate modelling in general : the timescales that are used. Fifty years of data is far too short a timescale to tell you anything useful about climate change - a hundred, ten thousand or 100,000 years may not be enough.

[The Blog] David Gilmour: The Blog: A product (PG Tips, for example, made by the world’s largest tea company, Unilever) only has to contain 30 per cent of the certified ingredients, rather than the 100 per cent that the Fairtrade mark demands, to be stamped with the very snazzy Rainforest Alliance logo. So I do think it’s convenient that they can reach out to all those ethical shoppers and gain sales on the basis of a label that doesn’t have to make it clear, for obvious reasons, that only 30 per cent of its contents are helping to make a difference for the better.

[BBC NEWS | The Editors] BBC - The Editors: No line: I have to agree with many that, whilst the BBC may say it doesn't have a line on climate change, it most certainly gives the strongest of impressions that it does!I do believe in climate change - there's more than enough evidence for that in both geological and historical records) but am not entirely convinced about AGW. Nor do I think that the subliminal message given each time renewable energy is mentioned of wind turbines being pictured is coincidence - of course the excuse is that this is the most advanced of green technologies, but the BBC manages to conveniently ignore putting up pictures of the destruction the basic infrastructure for these factories causes - just look up Derrybrien, people!
