[TreeHugger] Scientists are studying the effects of a higher variability in temperatures and more frequent thawing/refreezing of the soil on certain plants and found that some might benefit. Well, you can't say we only report the bad things about global warming, though in this case, it's not yet clear if this the news for these specific plants is all good...

The size and extent of the data allowed researchers to contrast the effects of, say, fires or pollution with the temperature changes that have occurred over this time.

In a recent study, published in the journal The Cryosphere, Stroeve and her colleagues showed that in areas where summer sea ice already has disappeared, autumn air temperatures have been more than 5 degrees F warmer than the long-term average, in large part because the exposed ocean absorbs far more heat than sea ice.

The simplistic notion that "CO2 causes global warming and controls climate" is ...... Now, a variability this small would produce, at first order, a change in temperature of less than 0.1ºC. In other words, solar variability should have very minor effects on climate. Moreover, you are incorrect in stating that changes in solar ...

[Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming RSS Newsfeed] North Atlantic is world's 'climate superpower': In past studies, Anastasios Tsonis and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have shown statistically that climate features like El Niño and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which drives weather across Europe, become synchronised for a few decades, before the links abruptly break down and a new pattern emerges. They call it "synchronised chaos".

[Global Warming] AccuWeather.com: Global Warming News, Science, Myths, Articles: Slow day on the global warming site.Now we've got to insert an article on Micro Climate changes.I've lived in New Jersey all my life,49 yrs.During the mid to late sixties there was a small pond down the street where my friends and I caught the bus to school.During the winter we would show up early with our ice skates and skate till the bus arrived.Now the pond is gone,due to urbanization and progress.A large house now sits where the pond was.Even if the pond was still there the winters don't seem like they did back then,so i doubt that much skating would go on.But I don't sit and wonder why this is,and blame global warming to be the cause.Thousands of years ago this pond was an inland sea,and the climate was much warmer.I know this because I was taught this in my gealogy class in high school.And this inland sea became frozen and consumed by advancing glaciers.They in turn retreated after thousands of years and left this little pond on which we skated.Its called climate cycles folks and they will come and go, just as they have for millions of years.Let us as humans channel our energy towards helping the less fortunate and not get caught up in something we cannot control.This earth is too large and self regulating and is not something humans can manipulate.But we can manipulate what we do to each other.I think what is happening to the worlds economy has far more dire consiquences than do the earths Natural Changing climate.When was the last time the climate paid your mortgage.Al Gore doesn't care about whether you just lost your job, just as the greedy wall street broker who just bilked you out of your pension doesn't.WAKE UP PEOPLE,and focus on what is real and not what is being fabricated by the greedy politicians that have nothing in mind but to squeeze every hard earned dollar from your bank and savings account.

[Watts Up With That?] Jim Hansen supports civil disobedience « Watts Up With That?: “Two years after Hansen and other agency employees described a pattern of distortion and suppression of climate science by political appointees, the agency’s inspector general report said “our investigation found that during the fall of 2004 through early 2006, the NASA Headquarters Office of Public Affairs managed the topic of climate change in a manner that reduced, marginalized or mischaracterized climate change science made available to the general public.”

[mothanskin.blog-city.com] "Al Gore, Global Warming And The Economic Stimulus Plan": West faults the IPCC and other scientific groups have "conclude[d] that the contribution of solar variability to global warming is negligible." He argues that these groups have done a poor job modeling the Sun's impact, however, and that's why they have "significantly over-estimated"

Facts are simply look outside, we are in the coldest year of the decade and temperatures according to NOAA are below the level of 1900.

Every left-wing polititian is going for broke trying to stop climate change by killing the auto industry, when making people buy a car with a 6 "global warming" rating instead of a 4 will still have less impact than making big rig trucks reduce emissions by 25%, or put catalytic converters on lawnmowers and stuff like that.
