Doesn’t everyone believe that John Holdren’s ice-free Arctic winter is imminent? We just spent more than $55 million overhauling an icebreaker that can handle ice 21 feet thick

Refurbished Coast Guard Polar Sea icebreaker heads to Alaska Arctic | Alaska DispatchThe freshly painted red Polar Star is 399 feet long, supports a crew of 134, and can conduct scientific operations with a staff of 32. Unlike the Coast Guard’s medium-class icebreaker, the Healy — a 420-foot vessel — the Polar Star is equipped to smash through up to 6 feet of ice at 3 knots and 21 feet if backing and ramming. The Healy, which helped the Russian ship the Renda make its fuel delivery to Nome last winter, can break through 4.5 feet of ice at 3 knots, but only 8 feet when backing and ramming.With increased interest in the Arctic, traffic through the region from Russia has increased exponentially. That, combined with oil development interests in the Arctic, led to a call for more icebreakers to serve U.S. waters. Unfortunately, at the time, two of the nation’s three ice breakers, both heavy class, were high and dry. A call for refurbishing the Polar Star was made and with political backing, the ship received an overhaul that was estimated to have cost more than $55 million. The coast guard reportedly hopes to get a decade’s use out of the aging ship thanks to the makeover.Flashback: John Holdren And The Ice Free Arctic Winter | Real Science[Holdren] …if you lose the summer sea ice, there are phenomena that could lead you not so very long thereafter to lose the winter sea ice as well.…
Researchers question proxy temperature studies — ‘Living things grow differently in different years depending on what is happening in the local area’
Researchers question proxy temperature studies — ‘Living things grow differently in different years depending on what is happening in the local area’
ABC Australia reports: Growth rates of coral can override the climate information held in their skeletons, a study of giant corals has found. The study, published in Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems, indicates that scientists need to analyse multiple coral cores to build a picture of past climates… “People speculate that we can reconstruct past climates from […]…

“Solving the “faint young sun paradox” — explaining how early Earth was warm and habitable for life beginning more than 3 billion years ago even though the sun was 20 percent dimmer than today — may not be as difficult as believed, says a new University of Colorado Boulder study.” The media release is below.

Does frustrated warmist Phil Plait need anger management training?: When he reads Mann’s latest global warming book, his “jaw hurts from being clenched so tightly”; people who don’t fear CO2 are “fiddling while the world burns”

Michael Mann: Climate scientist talks about the attack against him.Mann gave a talk about the attacks he has endured. It’s only 20 minutes long, and summarizes the current situation engagingly and enragingly….But the “enraging” part is still there—that duly-elected public officials would waste so much time, effort, and tax dollars on witch hunts like these is galling, amplified even more so by the import and stakes involved. …Mann has written a book about his trials and tribulations, called, “The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines.” It’s a great read, but I get so angry reading it that I can only take it in small chunks; my jaw hurts from being clenched so tightly. I’m glad he wrote it, though; the attacks on science truly are enraging, and that’s why I keep writing about them, too. They must stop.So watch the video, read Mann’s book, and keep yourself up-to-date on what the forces of antiscience are up to. As I have said, and clearly as I need to continue to say, they are fiddling while the world burns.…

From CSIRO: Increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) have helped boost green foliage across the world’s arid regions over the past 30 years through a process called CO2 fertilisation, according to CSIRO research. In findings based on satellite observations, CSIRO, in collaboration with the Australian National University (ANU), found that this CO2 fertilisation correlated with […]…

Update: Murry Salby and Macquarie University – University Replies
Murry Salby and Macquarie University – MU Reply
http://theclimatescepticsparty.blogspot.com/2013/07/murry-salby-and-macquarie-university-mu.html
The Professor and the Media ManagerProf Murry Salby and Joanne WheatleyNCTCS feels that it is a disgrace that Universities are pushing for a consensus ( a non-scientific rather a political term) and are terminating their arrangements with outstanding Professors likeDon EasterbrookBob CarterMurry SalbyHowever, NCTCS Blog has received the following from [email protected] in response to Professor Murry Salby’s termination from Macquarie University. See Murry Salby’s initial thoughts HERE. Fairness says that NCTCS should publish Macquarie University’s response.It is up to the reader to make up their own mind. STATEMENT REGARDING THE TERMINATION OF PROFESSOR MURRY SALBY 10 July 2013Macquarie University does not normally comment on the circumstances under which employees leave the University. However, we feel in this instance it is necessary to do so in order to correct misinformation.The decision to terminate Professor Murry Salby’s employment with Macquarie University had nothing to do with his views on climate change nor any other views. The University supports academic freedom of speech and freedom to pursue research interests.Professor Salby’s employment was terminated firstly, because he did not fulfil his academic obligations, including the obligation to teach. After repeated directions to teach, this matter culminated in his refusal to undertake his teaching duties and he failed to arrive at a class he had been scheduled to take.The University took this matter very seriously as the education and welfare of students is a primary concern. The second reason for his termination involved breaches of University policies in relation to travel and use of University resources.The termination of his employment followed an extensive and detailed internal process, including two separate investigations undertaken by a committee chaired by a former Australian Industrial Relations Commissioner and including a union nominee.Media Contact:p: (02) 9850 1039 e: [email protected] A copy of this release is available online at www.mq.edu.au/newsroom…

Climate Change Is a Health Hazard: How Obama Is Using Healthcare To Make People Care About Climate Change – ABC News the White House bestowed what they’ve dubbed the “Champions of Change” award on 11 people they say are “protecting public health in a changing climate” on Tuesday morning….Doctor Linda Rudolph, head of the Center for Climate Change and Health at the Public Health Institute, said during the panel that “climate change is the greatest global health challenge of our time.”So what can people do about it?Hospitals and healthcare providers should play a big role, experts say. Hospitals themselves are actually big producers of waste. They use lots of fossil fuels and their attention has been focused on helping people, not the environment.They need instead to recognize that by shifting some focus to their environmental impact, they can actually help keep people out of the emergency room. By reducing waste output, they can combat things like allergies and asthma, panelists said.…
