[Outside The Beltway | OTB] Conservative Policy Solutions: “With the advent of man-made warming political correctness in the beginning of 1980s, I already had a lot of experience with polar and high altitude ice, and I have serious problems in accepting the reliability of ice core CO2 studies,” Jaworowski added. Jaworowski, who has published many papers on climate with a focus on CO2 measurements in ice cores, also dismissed the UN IPCC summary and questioned what the actual level of C02 was in the atmosphere in a March 16, 2007 report in EIR science entitled “CO2: The Greatest Scientific Scandal of Our Time.” “We thus find ourselves in the situation that the entire theory of man-made global warming””with its repercussions in science, and its important consequences for politics and the global economy””is based on ice core studies that provided a false picture of the atmospheric CO2 levels,” Jaworowski wrote.

[Comments for RealClimate] RealClimate: I agree that those journalists you list , touch on the subject now and then, and make known their scepticism re the anthropogenic nature of any warming that’s happening—and for that I applaud them—–[ all of them have been treated as pariahs—as stupid—as ”˜dinosaurs’, the epithet used by the poster I replied to here—-all the invective that anyone showing even the vaguest possibility of scepticism or questioning of the ”˜consensus’ must endure] —but it’s Andrew Bolt who raises it in a sustained way, and he who cites various views, research etc on a regular basis.

[The Chem Blog] Fuck oil, we may run out of catalysts | The Chem Blog: SAN FRANCISCO, California ”” A new calculation of the world's coal reserves is much lower than previous estimates. If validated, the new info could have a massive impact on the fate of the planet's climate. 

[Global Warming] AccuWeather.com: Global Warming News, Science, Myths, Articles: From Knight et al (2005) "A Signature of Persistent Natural Thermohaline Circulation Cycles in Observed Climate": "The regression of simulated global and Northern Hemisphere mean decadal temperatures with the THC are 0.05 +/- 0.02 and 0.09 +/- 0.02_C Sv_1 respectively, implying potential peak-to-peak variability of 0.1 and 0.2_C." Peak to peak changes on the AMO are on the order of 0.45 deg C. If global temperature varies 0.1 deg C with a 0.45 deg C swing in the AMO, and if the AMO rose 0.3 deg C since 1950, the AMO raised global temperature 0.067 deg C ((0.1/0.45)*.3).

You say you are working “as hard as possible” to prevent the disaster you fear, so presumably you have thought through how that might be achieved.

[Watts Up With That?] GISS’s Gavin Schmidt credits WUWT community with spotting the ...: More likely the rising trend is a result of the garbage stations which were affected noticable by rising UHI during the postwar boom which forced up the average over the thirty years bewtween ‘51 and ‘80 higher than it would have been absent an outside trend, which was then was baked into their long term average acting like a thumb on the left side for that green line, and also threw off GISSTEMP in a similar fashion. The assumption that there was no UHI trend in the ‘51 to ‘80 data when your normalizing average was calculated is the Achiles heel of your argument.

[Jennifer Marohasy] Jennifer Marohasy: How Much Hot Air?: Nevertheless, changes in radiative forcing related to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations could not be experimentally detected at Earth's surface so far. Here we show that atmospheric longwave downward radiation significantly increased (+5.2(2.2) Wm−2) partly due to increased cloud amount (+1.0(2.8) Wm−2) over eight years of measurements at eight radiation stations distributed over the central Alps.

[The Swamp] Gore's new anti-global warming marketing effort: The Swamp: The graph of temperature change versus century showed the general trend that you stated, with some fluctuations. My question for the GW experts however, would be: What happened in the 15th Century to significantly drive the temperature down?
