Damaging allegations about Warmism and Science:
This is what worries me about the ever extreme expressions of the Warmist movement - that eventually it is science that will be damaged for a generation.

Yes this is a blog
I've been having a bit of difficulty getting Technorati to register this blog.
I have to say I think it might be the subject rather than the content that's giving the problem ... if there's another reason please let me know in comments ( after all this is a blog you know ).
What they say is:

Banned by Technorati
Its not through lack of trying - they didn't like my site description initially, and have now come to this conclusion.You have to wonder if its not the subject that's the problem for them ...

Cheating Warmists
The truth is getting lost in the Amazon - Telegraph mobile This article tells how the best sellers on climate change list has been censured to prevent people learning about the full scientific debate.
This attempt to censor the debate is just another worrying expression of the Warmists 'the science is settled' lie. (We now know it isn't and we were deliberately deceived.)

Uncertainty over Ice loss rates in Greenland and Western Antarctica
TU Delft - Melting rate icecaps Greenland and Western Antarctica lower than expected - what's interesting here is the discussion of modeling issues. Issues the public is not encouraged to think about with the 'science being settled' and all ....

Quotes fon AGW from emminent scientitsts
This post over at Watt's up with that is worth a read ...
Scepticism is the basis of science. Which may explain why the Warmists assertion based approach has caused so much embarrassment.

Further news on the Warmist's new line of defence
Christopher Booker is worth reading as he reminds a tired and broke world of some of the Warmists tricks that have been played recently .... See here in the Daily Telegraph.

The new certainty
Its all been a bit quiet here - as I've blogged on other interests over on my Man in a Shed blog.
But Warmism hasn't gone away and it now has a new form.
I'll call it "the new certainty".
The aim is to reassert access to the special privileged position Warmism had when "the scienceis was settled". That position that allows billions of pounds to be spent ( or wasted ) just because the warmists demand it. It also allows there mainly left wing co-travellers to establish the mechanisms of command and control they have been unable to achieve by democratic means.
The new tactics - probably coordinated somewhere as the former ones were - are as follows:
1) Admit debate is good, and scepticism is good science. ( See how reasonable we really are ).
2) Say a few bad words were used in "some emails" but that investigations have shown that nothing bad was meant by it. ( Don't for goodness sake mention the code or the systematic distortions in the base data. )
3) Now everyone can see how reasonable we warmists are - hit them with the certainty (Just don't let them know how little of the overall picture it covers). CO2 is a greenhouse gas ( shock horror ). Then add a simple experiment to show members of the general public ( preferably Top Gear petrol heads ) it acting as a green house gas. (Do not mention the facts the experiment has vastly higher concentrations of CO2 or that water vapour is a vastly higher contributor to the green house effect.)
4) Don't even bother with the issues about computer modelling and the unknown unknown's.
5) Hint at dark motives for theevil deniers - are they not in the pay of the evil oil companies ?
And there we have the new climate change requires world socialism and the destruction of western economies kit ready to issue to shallow journalists.
PS Although the UK TV documentary on climate change on Panorama, which I suspect will use this new line, was last night I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Will get back when I have.

The first UK professional body to go sceptical
The UK's Institute of Physics (IoP) has broken ranks and suggested that a wider enquiry is needed into the "settled science" of climate change. ( IoP submission available here ).
This has happened at the UK Parliamentary enquiry into the emails and computer code ( journalists - please remember the code ! ) leaked from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia ( American TV Journalists you might want to get some help on pronouncing Anglia based on what I've heard on you tube clips etc ).
Bit by bit the Warmist edifice based on "The Settled Science" is falling down.
The only question is when UK politics will catch up.
See:
The First Post : ‘Something rotten’ at the core of climate science
The Register : UK Physicists on Climategate - Intolerance, sub prime stats, wider enquiry needed

Computer modelling shows its limits
I'm just watching KGMB Hawaii New Now as it looks like the predicted Tsunami from the Chile earth quake has come in around the time predicted, but in a much different profile than predicted.
Of course Hawaii has put on an impressive emergency response for the potential wave(s) to strike, but people don't like making massive preparations with no large waves resulting. ( There were in fact some very impressive tidal type surges ).
But of course the models have failed in the sense of the accuracy of their wave height prediction.
There is a representative explaining this now in terms of the simplicity of the models for generating the Tsunami and the need to be conservative. He's of course entirely right. And the correct and responsible actions have been taken, even if in the end they weren't needed.
However what it does show is the limitations of computer models.
A lesson for all those predictions on climate change issues.

The scare stories keep on coming
I guess we have journalists to thank for some of this - but the same themes keep getting recycled.
Today's its climate instability due to methane hydrates and trapped methane in permafrost.
Its often hidden away that the Warmist campaigners require climate instability to make their wild predictions come about.
However the historical ( which means geological ) evidence for this suggests the opposite, that our climate is internally stable. ( All bets are off if the Sun increases / reduces its output ).
The truth is they don't know, but they won't be adding that to any iPhone apps...

Climate scepticism on the verge of crossing a threshold and going mainstream
This article in Smazidata, cited by James Delingpole in his blog today (read here ), shows that climate scepticism is closing on on the Warmist establishment rapidly.
This week the warmists have been forced to role out the - its weather not climate - argument to explain why nearly everyone in the Northern hemisphere is so bloody cold right now.
Just the argument they avoided making over hurricane's and warm days over the last few years. ( Indeed UK govt advice of Warmism suggest that government bodies have "experts" ready to jump up in front of camera for any unusual weather event to claim it climate change ).
The big question in the UK is which of the main UK political parties will break ranks with the Warmist religion first ?
