Physicist Gordon Fulks, 11 others file amicus brief “proving EPA’s ‘three lines of climate evidence’ are fatally flawed”
Physicist Gordon Fulks, 11 others file amicus brief “proving EPA’s ‘three lines of climate evidence’ are fatally flawed”
Gordon Fulks writes in The Oregonian: Because the president knows that Congress and the American people will never support carbon reduction schemes that seriously harm our economy, he is pursuing a strategy involving rhetorical subterfuges while his Environmental Protection Agency quietly moves forward with regulations. Consequently, 11 of us filed an amicus brief with the […]…

Warmist admits recent 97% ‘consensus’ survey paper is bogus

The Nonsensus (based on the recent survey of 65 papers) is actually more like less than 50%. The Reno Gazette Journal reports warmist Dana Nuccite Nuccitelli said, “We were always careful to say that while the survey involved 12,000 abstracts, the 97 percent consensus was among the ~4,000 abstracts that took a position on the […]…

U.S. Senate Hearings: Pro-AGW Experts Confirm Obama Lied About Global Warming
At the recent U.S. Senate hearing on climate change, the Democrats’ own anti-CO2 experts confirmed that global warming has disappeared over the last decade+, much to some joint chagrin…..their agreement with the known scientific evidence also confirms that Obama was……

Doug Hoffman: Requiem For The Electric Vehicle

This must be the season to bash electric automobiles. Even the staid IEEE Spectrum featured an article questioning the ecological soundness of electric vehicles on its cover. But aren’t electrics and hybrids supposed to be the way to a green future? Think again.

Environmentalists’ love affair with electric vehicles (EVs) seems to be over. “If you are thinking of buying an electric car for the sake of the environment, you may want to think longer.,” says Bill Sweet of IEEE’s EnergyWise. “You’re not doing the planet as much of a favor as you might think.” Does this make all those Prius drivers officially posers? Or were they all just duped by a passing green fad, which, like all green fads, was based on faulty reasoning and the triumph of emotion over reality?
Writing in the June edition of IEEE Spectrum, Ozzie Zehner has announced his change of heart regarding electric/hybrid vehicles. In “Unclean at Any Speed,” he declares that electric cars don’t solve the automobile’s environmental problems. Admitting that his is an unpopular stance, the author nonetheless states his falling from the faith:
The idea of electrifying automobiles to get around their environmental shortcomings isn’t new. Twenty years ago, I myself built a hybrid electric car that could be plugged in or run on natural gas. It wasn’t very fast, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t safe. But I was convinced that cars like mine would help reduce both pollution and fossil-fuel dependence. I was wrong.
How awkward, to decry the auto electric just as Obama is planning to shower more public monies on green industries, including those who make electric cars. How are Hollywood stars and entertainers supposed to prove their green cred while driving to the airport to board their private jets? This must not have been an easy position to take for a dedicated green, but then there are a number of other individuals and organizations who have come to question the greenness of electric vehicles. As Zehner explains in the article:
As with most anything else, the answer depends on whom you ask. Dozens of think tanks and scientific organizations have ventured conclusions about the environmental friendliness of electric vehicles. Most are supportive, but a few are critical. For instance, Richard Pike of the Royal Society of Chemistry provocatively determined …
Senate Climate Hearing analysis: ‘If Heidi Cullen and Frank Nutter are part of the global warming supporters ‘A-Team’, that we skeptical folk must be winning. That’s a pretty pathetic lineup’

More bad news for the UN IPCC.: ‘The two satellite records continue to show cooling; All three surface air temperature records continue to show negative temperature trend for the last 5 & 10 years’

Each month Professor Ole Humlum from the University of Oslo published the latest month’s data in a report called Climate4you. He has just issued the latest for June 2013. (link – pdf)Superimposed plot of all five global monthly temperature estimates. As the base period differs for the individual temperature estimates, they have all been normalised by comparing withthe average value of the initial 120 months (10 years) from January 1979 to December 1988. The heavy black line represents the simple running 37 month (c. 3 year) mean of the average of all five temperature records. The numbers shown in the lower right corner represent the temperature anomaly relative to the individual 1979-1988 averages The two satellite records continue to show cooling;All three surface air temperature records continue to show negative temperature trend for the last 5 and 10 years; howeveras seen by the Mauna Loa record below CO2 continues its rise:The former United Nations chief climate negotiator Yvo de Boer in Australia this week, regarding the forthcoming fifth assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said:”THAT report is going to scare the wits out of everyone,”Did he mean everyone, or did he mean those looking for further grant money for research into the “settled science.”…
