It’s been somewhat challenging to keep up with the soporifics emanating from the various and sundry UN gatherings of the great and the good as part of the run-up to the annual December Dance of the Dynamos (aka the UN’s Conference of the Parties, in this instance COP21) being held this year in Paris. As…
One of the not particularly “inspiring” virtual conglomerates purporting “excellence” — and/or facsimiles thereof — is The Conversation. With a virtual presence in Australia, Africa and the U.S., their motto is “Academic rigor, journalistic flair”. Some time ago (i.e. prior to the original Australian site’s virtual expansion), I had signed up for their E-mail notifications.…
If you happened to miss the release of the first batch of Climategate files, Paul Matthews has a summary you might want to read. And if you’re looking for an “alternate” view, you might want to check the … uh …”revisionist scholarship” of former BBC-nik, Richard Black. During the five years that I’ve been following…
By way of introduction, just in case you missed it, there are at least two new kids on the new, improved, ever-growing UNEP (United Nations Environment Program) block (or maze to be more precise), The first (which I wrote about here) is called “United Nations Environment Assembly of the United Nations Environment Programme” or UNEA,…
So, while Stephan <even when I’m wrong, I’m right> Lewandowsky continues to defend his indefensible Recursive Fury against Frontiers’ retraction – aided and abetted by his dutiful little gophers (aka Dana Nuccitelli and John Cook) – thereby planting himself (and his over-inflated ego) firmly in the ranks of those whose signature anthem should be “Mediocrity…
[Please note UPDATE below -hro] Canada’s National (taxpayer funded) Broadcaster, the CBC has rarely – if ever – missed an opportunity to unquestioningly promote the alarmist “cause” along with its made in Canada green activists and advocates. Andrew Weaver is one of the CBC’s favourite idols. Weaver – who has never demonstrated any understanding of…
In a somewhat remarkable departure from the longstanding IPCC tradition of delaying by several months the release of the “reports” underlying its Summaries for Policymakers (and the very carefully prepared Press Releases on the line-by-line Approval of the latter), it seems that when the IPCC gathers for the “very intensive” process of “approving” the Summary…
In the last year or so, the alarmists (and their army of MSM message massagers) have made much ado of “extreme” weather events – particularly those on the warm side, such as heat waves in Russia, no matter how tenuous the link. YMMV – as the saying goes – but I’m inclined to think that…
As we approach the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s planned late September release of the first “Book” of the latest version of the Climate Bible (or at least the much abbreviated version thereof, known as the Summary for Policymakers), it is difficult not to notice the flurry of advance activities on the eco-activist front,…
If you’ve been following the climate wars, you will know that for the past couple of years there have been numerous scientists and commentators who have discussed what has come to be known as “the pause” in “global warming”. As each declaration made its way into public consciousness, someone or other from a “jewel in…
