Global warming

By Matt Dernoga Bin Laden has attacked the US and industrialized nations for their greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and calls for the wheels of the American economy to be brought to a halt to stop global warming. bin Laden Hates Global Warming, Global Warming Hates Him

By LeisureGuy For the world as a whole, 2009 was the second warmest year on record, and the 2000s were the warmest decade. (See NASA/ Goddard Institute for Space Studies report here.) As more and more people have heard, this winter’s we-are-no-longer-amused cold siege in the middle latitudes of North Am...

There was a major station dropout — and an increase in missing data from remaining stations — which occurred suddenly around 1990. Just about the time the global warming issue was being elevated to importance in political and environmental circles.

By JR(jonjayray@gmail.com) All industrial nations, mainly the big ones, are responsible for the crisis of global warming," the message went on. Figure 1: Temperature changes since 900 AD (Source: IPCC 1990 Figure 7c) ANOTHER GREENIE ROUNDUP FROM AUSTRALIA

By webmaster@nationalreview.com (Iain Murray) This isn't the first time OBL has condemned America for contributing to global warming. I wrote the following in The Really Inconvenient Truths: Perhaps Al Gore could take a lesson from one unlikely convert to the cause of global warming alarmism. In his September 2007 rant from the cave, O...

By Joe Actually, there isn’t much disagreement on what happens if we listen to Wallace and stay on our business as usual emissions path, which takes us to 800 to 1000 ppm or higher.  Either it is likely to be a incomprehensible series of disasters by the end of the century (see “Intro to global warmi...

By David Adam The experts say their research does not undermine the scientific consensus that emissions of greenhouse gases from human activity drive global warming, but they call for "closer examination" of the way climate computer models consider water vapour.

By Johann Hari To understand the impact this will have, you need to grasp how smaller sums of corporate money have already hijacked American democracy. Let's look at a case that is simple and immediate and every American can see in front of them: healthcare. The United States is the only major industriali...

By ryanm First up is the Washington Post (online edition…the print edition used the Headline “Winter offered as proof of warming”),  “Harsh winter a sign of disruptive climate change, report says” Second is the Detroit News. Study:  global warming means wacky weather near the Great Lakes.

By emergingrenaissance I care deeply about environmental conservation, but I must confess that I was not convinced to be an environmentalist by rational arguments. No accumulation of statistics, carefully crafted arguments, or scientific reports was necessary. I wasn’t brought around to conservation by ne...

By webmaster@nationalreview.com (Iain Murray) As for Glaciergate, the hysteria about sea-level rise is overdone. The IPCC itself estimates the current contribution of glacial melt to sea-level rise is 1.19 mm a year. The specific issue at play in glaciergate, the melting of Himalayan glaciers, has been a major factor in Indian politic...

By webmaster@nationalreview.com (Andrew Stuttaford) Via the London Times: The impact of global warming has been exaggerated by some scientists and there is an urgent need for more honest disclosure of the uncertainty of predictions about the rate of climate change, according to the [British] Government’s chief scientific adviser. John B...

By webmaster@nationalreview.com (Jack Fowler) Is Richardson stacking the court that can order a state-wide emissions cap of so-called greenhouse gases? As it is, the Environmental Improvement Board is chaired by a man paid by global warming activists to be their spokesman and lobbyist. Now a leader of one of the most aggressive and ra...

By Neil Aquino “The decade ending in 2009 was the warmest on record, new surface temperature figures released Thursday by theNational Aeronautics and Space Administration show. The agency also found that 2009 was the second warmest year since 1880, when modern temperature measurement began. The war...

By JR(jonjayray@gmail.com) Have the voters of a small and rather gullible American State just knocked global warming on the head? IS it too much to ask for a measured climate change debate in 2010? Looking back at 2009, it's hard to think of a more frustrating debate than the one about anthropogenic global warming.

By David Adam Unlike carbon dioxide, methane lasts only a decade or so in the atmosphere, which has led some experts to call for greater attention to curbs on its production. Reductions in methane emissions could bring faster results in the fight against climate change, they say.

By papundits “Since the Earth’s atmosphere is not lacking in greenhouse gases [water vapor], if the system could have increased its surface temperature it would have done so long before our emissions.

By webmaster@nationalreview.com (NRO Staff) Maximalist positions -- “The World Is Ending!” vs. “Global Warming Is a Hoax!” -- are emotionally satisfying, and therefore to be regarded with suspicion.

By Joe No, I’m not taking about a simple analysis of what happens if the nation and the world just keep on our current emissions path.  We’ve known that end-of-century catastrophe for a while (see “M.I.T. doubles its 2095 warming projection to 10°F — with 866 ppm and Arctic warming of 20°F“).  I’m talk...
