Paul Dreissen, writing at Town Hall.com A Conversation … or a Lecture?

Unfortunately, the pontiff seems more interested in a lecture than a conversation on climate change, energy and economic development, and improving the lives of Earth’s poorest families.

There is a bipartisan movement between the three parties to move forward with plans to sign the UN Climate Change Agreement in Paris in December. They're all in this together.

AGW disproved again. Alarmism is a sham.
* Anthony Cox* I have written before about two absolutely fatal contradictions to alarmism. The first is that CO2 and temperature are not correlated. Beenstock et al 1 and 2clearly show that CO2 and temperature are not (causally) correlated, that CO2 will only have a temporary effect on temperature if its rate of increase is sufficient and even this temporary effect is problematic since it is clear that CO2 follows temperature and often they move in different directions. The second is that humans are not responsible for the increase in atmospheric CO2. Knoor, Gloor and Essenhigh s... more »

AS the global price of coal falls, coal becomes more attractive. From BloombergBusiness (LINK) Japan’s regional power utilities burned the most coal on record in August, flouting calls from the nation’s environmental minister to rein in use to control greenhouse gas emissions. The nation’s 10 power utilities used 5.82 million metric tons of coal in August, the Federation of Electric Power Cos. reported Friday. That’s the most in monthly usage since the group started compiling data in April 1972. While total power generation and purchases fell 0.9 percent, liquefied natural gas u... more »

Under the new proposals, the amount paid to homeowners under the “feed-in tariff” from next year will fall by nearly 90 per cent. Experts said that it will lower the payments to households by around £192 (AU$ 412) a year. Solar subsidi... more »

Anthony says: *Climate sensitivity is low*. (See Myth items 101 and 145.) Climate sensitivity (CS) is defined by the shrill (eg the alarmists, the warm-mongers) as the temperature increase to a doubling of CO2 (2XCO2) from its level of 280 parts per million (PPM) in about 1890 before Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) allegedly began.

In the 70s, Global Temps were going down and an Ice Age was predicted
*UN*Skeptical *UN*Science (SS) and their amazingly incorrect list of "myths." Here we debunk No 11. "Ice age predicted in the 70s"The vast majority of climate papers in the 1970s predicted warming.

Condoms for Sea Otters: More Warmist Idiocy!

The shrill alarmists claim that all the scientific bodies agree with the AGW hoax. This is known, in logic, as an appeal to authority. When is appeal to authority abused: 1.

Anzac Day: Centenary of Anzac Celebrations
In most ceremonies of remembrance there is a reading of an appropriate poem. One traditional recitation on Anzac Day is the Ode. The Ode comes from For the Fallen, a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon and was published in London in the Winnowing Fan; Poems of the Great War in 1914. The verse, which became the League Ode, was already used in association with commemoration services in Australia in 1921. *"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; * *Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. * *At the going down of the sun and in the morning * *We wi... more »

Too Many Wild Cards in the Climate Game
*Too Many Wild Cards in the Climate Game* *Another Issue of "Carbon Sense” prepared for The Carbon Sense Coalition * *by Viv Forbes and volunteer helpers.* Climate alarmists claim incessantly that all bad weather is caused by man’s use of hydro-carbon fuels - oil, gas and coal. They insist that man-made carbon dioxide is the trump card in the climate game. Their computerised models of doom assume ever-rising levels of carbon dioxide which will trump all natural climate controllers. Unfortunately for their credibility, since at least the year 2000 global temperatures have trended l... more »

There is no rational, scientific basis for Alarmists' call for AGW action.
As part of a reply to a fatuous column "What Evidence Would Persuade You That Man-Made Climate Change Is Real?" Christopher Monckton wrote (LINK - WUWT): The answer: a rational, scientific case rooted in established theory and data would convince me that manmade climate change is a problem. That it is real is not in doubt, for every creature that breathes out emits CO2 and thus affects the climate. The true scientific question, then, is not the fatuous question whether “*Man-Made Climate Change Is Real*” but how much global warming our sins of emission may cause, and whether that ... more »

Freeman Dyson: "The whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide."
In an interview with the Vancouver Sun, Princeton University’s preeminent physicist Freeman Dyson says, “as measured from space, the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide, so it’s increasing agricultural yields, it’s increasing the forests and it’s increasing growth in the biological world and that’s more important and more certain than the effects on climate.” When first asked whether man-made climate change existed, Professor Dyson answered that it did exist, but the real question is how much and is it good or bad. It is probably much less than is generally... more »

Differences between Real Science and Man Made Global Warming Science
Mike Herman writes (LINK) Note: Mike uses MMGW, we have substituted AGW There are at least a dozen differences between man-made global warming (AGW) and real science. While science follows a defined scientific method, AGW uses political campaign tools like polls, demonizing opposition, scare tactics, deception, and propaganda. 1. Real science says "Question everything". AGW says "Questioning AGW is reckless because it threatens the planet." 2. Real science never ends, but is an ongoing cycle of testing and correction.

Exporting Australia's control of Environmental Policies to the United Nations
*Graham Williamson*SourceControl of Australia’s environmental policies, including climate change, AG21 and sustainability is increasingly being exported to foreign countries, especially through the UN. Since this is all part of globalisation however, control of other policies, even including our human rights, is also being exported to the UN. This exporting of control typically occurs gradually and involves various stages.
