Aus: Carbon compo for brown coal a bigger waste than BER and pink batts
On Australia’s Green/Left policy train wreck:
“WHILE last week’s backflip by the government on the removal of the carbon pricing floor was broadly welcomed by those facing the prospect of paying the world’s highest carbon price, this most recent change in policy direction lays the foundations for more problems down the line.” Continue reading
Aus: Carbon payout to biggest polluters in doubt
Oh gosh oh darn. We don’t throw away a lot more of taxpayers’ money to shut down some of our cheapest and most reliable electrical generators? Oh the devastation… Continue reading

Andrew Simms: We can learn resilience from the natural world – but only up to a point
So, Andy, how’s that 100 months of world saving thing going? Must be near half-gone by now, eh? Since the world’s been cooling throughout the Obama Administration it’s been pretty successful then – ‘nother few years and you can relax, your world-saving done, right?
Good job. Let’s see what you’ve got for us today: Continue reading
New Report: Government Cannot Rely On Stern Review To Justify Costly Climate Policies
London, 4 September: As the cost of government measures to combat climate change hit households and businesses, a new study published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation casts grave doubts on the validity of the “Stern Review of the Economics of Climate Change” which the government relies on to justify its policies. Continue reading

Pierre Gosselin: German Professor Says We Are “Treading On Thin Ice” With Our Interpretation Of Warming
Online German daily Die Welt here published a surprisingly anti-alarmist article written by Prof Wolfgang Behringer, a science historian at the University of Saarbrücken. Continue reading
Imaginative feature on Paul Nurse: A Redoubt of Learning Holds Firm
Bizarrely Sir Paul conflates scientific skepticism with superstition and taints CAGW skeptics with anti vaxxers and fear of modernity. CAGW hysteria is doing more damage to science and society that even religious zealotry has done and that is desperately dangerous. See this item for a direct quote from the IPCC’s Working Group I disclaiming an ability to predict future climate states and the linked examination of probable climate sensitivity to enhanced greenhouse effect, drawn directly from Earth’s natural greenhouse effect and too trivial to worry about or even detect amid the noise of natural variation. Continue reading
Daniel Mason: Stern climate change review ‘not fit for purpose’ says Tory MP
A senior British Conservative has called for the commissioning of a fresh independent study into the economics of climate change and sharply criticised economist Nicholas Stern’s six-year-old report – which warned that the costs of doing nothing to prevent global warming significantly outweighed the costs of acting. Continue reading
Peter Lilley: Costly decarbonisation of the economy is based on a flawed review
BRITAIN embarked on a hugely ambitious policy to decarbonise its economy with virtually no scrutiny of the costs. Now those costs are starting to hit families and firms. Continue reading
Christopher Monckton of Brenchley: An independent constraint on climate sensitivity
Abstract: Global CO2 emissions per unit increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration provide an independent constraint on climate sensitivity over the timescale of the available data (1960-2008), suggesting that, in the short term and perhaps also in the long, climate sensitivity may lie below the values found in the general-circulation models relied upon by the IPCC.

Bangkok 2012: EU Signals It Will Not Adopt New Unilateral CO2 Target
The European Union appears unlikely to adopt tougher targets for carbon emissions this year after an official at the UN climate talks in Bangkok was quoted as saying further cuts were ‘wishful thinking’. Continue reading

Doug L. Hoffman: Where Did All The CO2 Go?
The subject of human carbon dioxide emissions and their build up in Earth’s atmosphere is at the center of the anthropogenic global warming controversy. It cannot be denied that humans produce CO2 in large amounts, both from burning fossil fuels and from land use changes. Continue reading
Fen Montaigne: Arctic Tipping Point: A North Pole Without Ice
Scientists say this year’s record declines in Arctic sea ice extent and volume are powerful evidence that the giant cap of ice at the top of the planet is on a trajectory to largely disappear in summer within a decade or two, with profound global consequences. Continue reading

New blockbuster paper finds man-made CO2 is not the driver of global warming
An important new paper published today in Global and Planetary Change finds that changes in CO2 follow rather than lead global air surface temperature and that “CO2 released from use of fossil fuels have little influence on the observed changes in the amount of atmospheric CO2″ Continue reading
GOP platform highlights the party’s abrupt shift on energy, climate
Over the past four years, the Republican Party has undergone a fairly dramatic shift in its approach to energy and environmental issues. Global warming has disappeared entirely from the party’s list of concerns. Clean energy has become an afterthought. Fossil fuels loom larger than ever. And one way to see this shift clearly is to compare the party’s 2008 and 2012 platforms. Continue reading
Unexpected finding shows climate change complexities in soil
In a surprising finding, North Carolina State University researchers have shown that certain underground organisms thought to promote chemical interactions that make the soil a carbon sink actually play a more complex, dual role when atmospheric carbon levels rise. Continue reading
