PLAN FOR CLIMATE CHANGE

November 2, 2009: "We have no chance of stopping climate change" - letter to the editor by Dr. Tim Ball, environmental consultant, ICSC Science Advisory Board member and past climatology professor at the Univerity of Winnipeg, Canada.  The Ottawa Citizen, Canada.

"... we have absolutely no chance of stopping climate change. It has always happened and always will so we also need to continue to research the causes of climate variations to better predict what will happen in the future to assist with adaptation efforts."

NO NET GLOBAL WARMING IN PAST THREE DECADES

July 8, 2009: "It's getting chilly but still not cool to be a sceptic", by Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun, Australia.

"Last weekend we could understand better why Wong [Australian Senator Penny Wong, Minister for Climate Change and Water] is no longer keen on data on surface and atmospheric warming. NASA's Aqua satellite - one of the four main measurements of world temperature - found June had dropped back to just .001 degrees above the average for the past 30 years."

Read the whole piece.  Also read new Climate Science Coalition of America Chair, Dr. Roy Spencer's take on this.

TEMPERATURE INDEX BACK DOWN TO 30 YEAR AVERAGE:

Above graph explained by Dr. Ole Humlum, Professor of Physical Geography at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo on www.climate4you.com: "Global monthly average lower troposphere temperature since 1979 according to University of Alabama at Huntsville, USA. This graph uses data obtained by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) TIROS-N satellite, interpreted by Dr. Roy Spencer and Dr. John Christy, both at Global Hydrology and Climate Center, University of Alabama at Huntsville, USA. This temperature record show good agreement with the independent radiosonde temperature record. The thick line is the simple running 37 month average, nearly corresponding to a running 3 yr average. The cooling and warming periods directly influenced by the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo volcanic eruption and the 1998 El Niño, respectively, are clearly visible. IPCC = foundation of the International Panel on Climate Change (November 1988). Last month shown: June 2009. Last diagram update: 6 July 2009."
 
MIT AND IPCC CLIMATE FORECASTS 'UNSCIENTIFIC'

June 17, 2009: "MIT's unscientific, catastrophic climate forecast", by ICSC Advisors, Dr. Kesten C. Green of the Business and Economic Forecasting Unit at Monash University in Australia and Professor J. Scott Armstrong, of The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, Financial Post, National Post, Toronto, Canada.

"Policymakers and the public should be made aware that the forecasts from the MIT modellers, as well as those used by the IPCC, are merely the opinions of some scientists and computer modellers. It is not proper to claim that these are truly scientific forecasts."

DEVELOPED NATIONS' CLIMATE POLICIES INCONSISTENT WITH SCIENCE

July 11, 2009: "Climate change: The sun and the oceans do not lie - Even a compromised agreement to reduce emissions could devastate the economy - and all for a theory shot full of holes, says Christopher Booker", The Telegraph, United Kingdom.

 "In March, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has a key role in President Obama's plans to curb CO2 emissions, asked one of its senior policy analysts, Alan Carlin, to report on the science used to justify its policy. His 90-page paper recommended that the EPA carry out an independent review of the science, because the CO2 theory was looking indefensible, while the "counter consensus'' view – solar radiation and ocean currents – seemed to fit the data much better. Provoking a considerable stir, Carlin's report was stopped dead, on the grounds that it was too late to raise objections to what was now the EPA's official policy."

Read whole piece.  Note that second, smaller part of piece is on a different topic.

Watch Dr. Carlin's comments in TV interview.

Watch Senator James Inhofe's comments on the EPA's action on Carlin's report.

Read an early draft of the suppressed Carlin report.  According to this reference, "Carlin has been transferred off all climate-related work...."
 
PAYING THE PRICE FOR POLITICAL CONVENIENCE IN CANADA

June 18, 2009: "Waiting for the Other Shoe to drop on the Climate File - Canadians about to pay the price for Conservative's failure of nerve to alter the language of the climate debate", by Tom Harris, Executive Director, ICSC, Canada Free Press, Toronto, Canada.

"Rather than attempting to give comments on the arcane logistics of a program that will undoubtedly cause significant economic harm, Canadians should demand that Prentice delay the ’greenhouse gas’ offset program until the government has first asked for public comment on draft documents that supply answers to the sort of questions average citizens naturally ask when such a vast and expensive undertaking is planned:

  • What will this cost me, either directly through increased consumer prices or indirectly through greater taxes or reduced government services or in increased national debt?
  • Will I, as a consumer, ultimately be the one who pays for the credits about to be awarded?
  • What are the benefits of your program?
  • etc."
