Climatologist Dr. Pat Michaels on Typhoon Haiyan: ‘Was Typhoon Haiyan the Most Intense Storm in Modern History?’ – ‘There’s a variety of evidence arguing that [1969’s] Camille is going to be able to retain her crown’
…New paper finds warming has also ‘paused’ in the Arctic; debunks warmist study that claimed to get rid of the ‘pause’ – Published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
The findings differ substantially from the new warmist study by the SkS secret forum participants Cotwan & Way that claims to get rid of the 17+ year pause in global warming by a reanalysis of extrapolated Arctic data. The authors advise “extreme caution” in using reanalyses of Arctic temperatures, such as has been done by Cotwan & Way, stating, “Our results also suggest that studies of the Arctic climate based on reanalyses should be undertaken with extreme caution.”…

Background on Sachs via “United Socialist Nations” http://scienceandpublicpolicy.
…In 2009, Sachs addressed the annual conference of the Party of European Socialists: http://vimeo.com/8673040He described the “profound honour “ of addressing the Party of European Socialists and said they were heirs and leaders of the most successful economic and political system in the world, Social Democracy. Social equity, environmental sustainability and fiscal re-distribution were the successful elements, in marked contrast to the US whose taxes were too low and where the poor were ignored.He asked for PES leadership “for the sake of the world” on social principles, financial regulation and solidarity with the poor. In advance of Copenhagen, he claimed that millions were suffering because of drought caused by western induced climate change and a carbon levy was needed.He singled out the US as the biggest emitter of CO2 per capita and said it must spend more to save the planet. He promoted the UN Millennium Development Goals and the global target of 0.7% of GDP to fund development. He wants a carbon tax and a financial transactions tax, a global health fund, a global education fund and a global climate fund.Earth Institute at Columbia- Jeffrey Sachs – DirectorMembers of the external advisory board include George Soros and Rajendra Pachauri, IPCC chairman.Soros has funded Sachs via his Open Society Institute. Pachauri is also a member of the Earth Institute’s Commission on Education for International Development Professionals and on the board of their International Research Institute for Climate and Society. Pachauri and Sachs are also co-chairs of the Indian Commission (Council) on Sustainable Development. http://www.icsusdev.org/council.htm
