UN Claims There’s An ‘Alarming Rate’ Of Global Warming By Ignoring The 15-Year ‘Hiatus’ And El Niño
The head of the United Nations’ meteorological body warned the world was going through an “alarming rate” of global warming due to rising carbon dioxide emissions — but his statement ignored the 15-year “hiatus” in warming and 2016’s incredibly strong El Niño.
“The alarming rate of change we are now witnessing in our climate as a result of greenhouse gas emissions is unprecedented in modern records,” Petteri Taalas, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization, said March 21 in a statement on the release of the group’s’ new climate report.
WMO’s new “State of the Climate” report says the global average surface temperature was 0.76 degrees Celsius above the 1961-1990 average because of man-made global warming and the current El Niño — something Taalas glossed over in his remarks.
Taalas also neglected to mention the recent rise in global average temperature, spurred by El Niño, came after a 15-year or so “hiatus” in global warming. During this period, from 1998 to 2012, global surface temperatures rose at a much slower rate than in previous decades.

…Dr. Curry Vanishes! 20 Women Reduced to 19! Warmist Aussie Climate Council Deletes Dr. Judith Curry from list of 20 Women in Climate Debate
Mandrake the Magician has nothing on Tim Flannery & Co when it comes to vanishing acts, from geothermal investors’ equity to those frothing predictions of endless drought and “ghost cities”. But the excision of sceptic Judith Curry from a list of female climate experts takes the cake
When a three-year-old tells whoppers it can be cute. It’s not so cute if the whopper-tellers are scientist Tim Flannery, aged 60, and his Climate Council. Flannery is Chief Councillor of the crowd-funded body, which is dedicated to “accurate and authoritative information on all aspects of climate change”.
His Council website has this item:
19 climate champions, who also happen to be women… To celebrate International Women’s Day, here’s a list of nineteen women kicking goals in the climate change debate — from scientists to politicians, diplomats, community organisers and more. (My emphasis).
It begins, “This article originally appeared on the International Council for Science’s Road to Pariswebsite.” Click through to that site (a spin-off from the International Council for Science, ICSU) and you find the original was not about 19 women but was headed, “20 women making waves in the climate change debate”.[i]
Even more mysterious, the Climate Council website has a Facebook prompt (left) headlined:
Kicking goals: 20 climate champions, who also happen to be women…From scientists to politicians, community organisers to diplomats – here are 20women fighting for climate action around the world. Climatecouncil.org.au
But click it and the original 20 women suddenly become the Climate Council’s 19. (below right)
So what’s going on? The ICSU’s 20 women were meant to reflect women’s contribution to the “diversities of the climate debate”. The 20 included distinguished scientist Dr Judith Curry, who doesn’t toe the doomsters’ party line on climate. The Climate Council simply couldn’t bear to list her – even though she has a peer-reviewed publication list of 150+, dwarfing that of the other women cited in the top 20 (or top 19). So the Climate Council simply clipped her from the list, notwithstanding the ICSU’s copyright.
The Climate Council’s tampering was done without public acknowledgement or apology to the original compilers, namely three editors associated with ICSU and the Stockholm Resilience Centre. The editors in turn had compiled the list by an extra survey in the wake of their unisex survey about top 15 climate news-makers a year ago. That list of 15 included

“As we all know, the United States and China are the two biggest contributors, and I think that China has made radical movements forward as far as alternative energy and ways to be sustainable,” he said at a press conference.
China has the opportunity “to change the world and I have all the confidence in the world that that is their intention,” DiCaprio added.

Germans Worry ‘Climate Dictatorship’ Will Trash Their Economy
Paris Fallout: ‘Radical’ Climate Bill Stuns German Industry …Warn Of ‘Climate Dictatorship’
Paris Fallout: “Radical” Climate Bill Stuns German Industry …Warn Of “Catastrophic Consequences” And “Climate Dictatorship” …”A Poison List Of Draconian Measures”!
Here’s the latest on plans by some overly overzealous German government leaders to get the country to commit economic suicide through decarbonization. In the wake of the lofty declarations made at the Paris Conference to roll back CO2 emissions, a number of high level Environment Ministry bureaucrats in Germany’s government have been eagerly concocting a “radical bill” dubbed “Climate Protection 2050″ designed to make Germany almost carbon-free by 2050. Already the bill’s extremism and disconnect from reality is coming under heavy fire. Online German national daily Die Welt has a piece by Daniel Wetzel titled: German Economy Fears Eco-Dictatorship. High costs would devastate the poor In the wake of Paris, Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks has put together a “catalogue of measures” which she and her Ministry hope will passed into law by early summer. Should the proposals be enacted into law, Wetzel writes that it would mean “higher rental prices for apartments, higher taxes, mandatory renovations by building owners, speed limits and massive cost hikes for industrial enterprises“. The proposals call for the mandatory, comprehensive renovation of buildings that owners would be forced by law to carry out. Such huge costs of course would have to be passed on to the occupants who rent or lease the buildings. Wetzel writes that Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks is moving rapidly to get the bill enacted before summertime. Industry, Wetzel writes, warns of “catastrophic consequences” should the CO2 restricting proposals be adopted. The catalogue of measures designed to lead Germany to a near zero-carbon society by 2050 has the industry spooked. Wetzel writes of an “urgent letter” by leading industry trade organizations to the Environment Ministry – one that used uncharacteristically harsh terms such as “threatening ecology or climate dictatorship”. Copies of the letter were also send to the heads of other German federal ministries, such as the Ministry of Transportation and Ministry Of Commerce. “Poison list of draconian measures” According to Wetzel some of the proposals include severe tax penalties for owners of “energy inefficient” buildings should they refuse to implement costly renovation works. The catalogue also calls for excruciatingly high taxes on heating oil and natural gas. Wetzel quotes Andreas Lücke of the German Heating Industry Association BDH: who calls the “Climate Protection Plan 2050″ a “poison list of …

Skeptical ‘Climate Hustle’ Film Coming to Theaters Nationwide May 2, for a One-Night Event
http://www.cfact.org/2016/03/21/press-release-cfact-inks-deal-hustle-in-theaters-may-2/
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 21, 2016
(March 21, 2016) CFACT and CDR Communications, in partnership with Event Cinema provider SpectiCast, are pleased to announce the release of “Climate Hustle,” a one-night engagement in theaters nationwide on May 2, 2016 that debunks the myths and hype about man-made global warming in an informative and entertaining style. Additional details, including a very special bonus event featuring a newsworthy name, will be released very soon.
On the heels of Earth Day (April 22nd) and the opening of the signing of the Paris Agreement on climate change at the United Nations, the “Climate Hustle” May 2 event examines the question of whether there is a genuine scientific consensus about alleged man-made global warming. With more than 30 scientists and experts featured, the film reveals the history of climate scares, examines the science on both sides of the debate and digs into the politics and media hype surrounding the issue. It has been called “brutal and extremely funny” by National Review and “dynamite” by Breitbart News.
“Climate Hustle” is hosted by award-winning investigative journalist Marc Morano. A former communications director for the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Morano is publisher of CFACT’s ClimateDepot.com, one of the world’s top sources for scientific information skeptical of climate alarm.
“‘Climate Hustle’ is an extremely timely film, especially given the relevant political discussion surrounding global warming,” said Mark Rupp, Co-founder and President of SpectiCast Entertainment. “We feel it is important to share all viewpoints on the climate change issue and ‘Climate Hustle’ provides a perspective not generally shared with the public at large in an informative and engaging way.”
David Rothbard, Executive Producer of the film and President of CFACT, said “The issue of global warming is certainly a ‘hot’ topic and what better way to educate the public than through a film that presents a much-needed perspective based on hard science with a humorous tone.” Added Chris Rogers, Director of “Climate Hustle” and President of CDR Communications, “In the midst of this year’s election, it is of the utmost importance that voters hear both sides of this much-hyped issue, in order to make more educated decisions about climate and energy policies that will affect generations to come.”
