Summer can't be on its way. After all, Monday and Tuesday were a lot colder than last weekend." Hopefully, this seems like a silly thing to say. We all know the inevitability of the seasons, but we also know that any particular day can bring a variety of weather. For reasons having to do with the tilting of the earth's axis, summers are warmer than winters, yet I've been jogging here in my shorts in January and I've seen it snow in the summer. And yet, most global warming detractors use some variant of the above statement as evidence against increasing global temperatures. "The world can't be getting warmer, after all, International Falls recorded its coldest temperature in 100 years last week" or, "NYC has piled up record snowfalls this winter." Transient and local weather is used as ...

Americans have been rope-a-doped into believing that global warming is going to destroy our planet. Scientists who have been skeptical about man-made global warming have been called traitors or handmaidens of big oil. The Washington Post asserted on May 28, 2006, that there were only "a handful of skeptics" of man-made climate fears. Bill Blakemore on Aug. 30, 2006, said, "After extensive searches, ABC News has found no such (scientific) debate on global warming." U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer said it was "criminally irresponsible" to ignore the urgency of global warming. U.N. special climate envoy Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland on May 10, 2007, declared the climate debate "over" and added "it's completely immoral, even, to question" the U.N.'s s...

The last months of a presidential administration are often dangerous. Presidents - looking to their legacy - go to desperate lengths to try to enhance their reputation for posterity. A pungent example of such practices by the Bush administration was reported above the fold on the front page of The Washington Times Monday: "Bush prepares global warming initiative. Oh dear. Just as an increasing number of scientists are finding their courage to speak out against the global warming alarmists, and just as a building body of evidence and theories challenge the key elements of the human-centric carbon-based global warming theories - President Bush takes this moment to say in effect: "We are all global alarmists now."

Last March, Ceres persuaded the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to require all US-domiciled insurers with annual premium of more than $300 million to respond to a climate risk disclosure survey. This article evaluates the insurer climate risk disclosure mandate against the backdrop of traditional rationales for mandatory disclosure, and analyzes the NAIC survey's potential impact on insurers, their policyholders, and public policy. Given the difficulty insurers face in trying to assess the impact of global warming on their business operations, they are in no position to "encourage policyholders to reduce the losses caused by climate change-influenced events." Insurers could promote carbon-free energy and engage in "carbon trading" not because evidence exists that ...

Here's what I wrote in last year's column titled "Global Warming Rope-a-Dope" (12/24/2008): "Once laws are written, they are very difficult, if not impossible, to repeal. If a time would ever come when the permafrost returns to the northern U.S., as far south as New Jersey as it once did, it's not inconceivable that Congress, caught in the grip of the global warming zealots, would keep all the laws on the books they wrote in the name of fighting global warming. Personally, I would not put it past them to write more." On June 28, 2009, the House of Representatives, by a narrow margin (219-212), passed the Waxman-Markey bill. The so-called "cap and trade" bill has been sold as a system for cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the struggle against global warming. There's a full-court press ...

IN NOT, FLAT AND Crowded, his best-selling 2008 call to action on climate change, pundit Thomas Friedman employs a familiar analogy. A society unconcerned about climate change, he writes, is like a frog in a pot of water whose temperature is slowly rising. But the increase in temperature is so gradual that before the frog realizes what" s up, he's cooked. Likewise, experts have long said that climate change would have such contrary results as making deserts bigger in some places, and flooding others. Thaf s why scientists like [Mike Rosenmeier] prefer "climate change" to the more familiar "global warming. Rosenmeier worries that any analogy risks oversimplifying something as complex as climate change. And [M. Granger Morgan], director of CMU's Climate Decision Making Center, says the p...

My host is Javier Sellanes, a scruffy young researcher who studies bottomdwelling marine life in the OMZs. He's skeptical of the idea floated by MBARI and COPAS scientists, that the oxygen minimum zone has gotten thicker over time. "The truth is that I don't know," he says. "I don't think anyone in Chile knows. Most of his subjects-including urchins, roundworms and microscopic foraminifera- didn't like it. "A 0.2 unit pH change is pretty harmful for most of the animals we see down there," [JIM BARRY] explains from his ocean-view MBARI office. "We're asking animals in the deep ocean to live in a completely different environment than they evolved in." We're all gonna weasel-word this, because ya can't prove it," he says gruffly. "We have compelling evidence that these things are related...

The court enumerated nine discrete non-truths that Gore perpetrates in his celluloid screed against letting other people use energy. * The government's expert was forced to concede that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro and Lake Chad's drying up were not caused by global warming. * The film claims that ice-core evidence proves that rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes temperature increases. The court found that the evidence showed the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2,000 years. * The government's expert had to accept that it was "not possible" to attribute Hurricane Katrina, et al. to global warming. * The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing Arctic ice.
