Bees Just Won’t Know What Warmth Is: BBC: ‘This winter’s losses of honey bee colonies were the worst since records began six years ago, according to a survey carried out by the British Beekeepers Association. It says more than a third of hives did not survive the cold, wet conditions’
…UK Guardian Express: Global Warming Fanatics and Three Good Reasons Not to Trust Them
…Prof. Murray Salby presents ‘evidence that the ice record heavily underestimates the fluctuations of the CO2 concentration, especially the high-frequency (short-period) oscillations that occurred a long time ago. If that’s true, it’s pretty likely that concentrations above 400 ppm may have been rather mundane even before the industrial activity’

…Climate Depot’s Round Up on Global Warming and Meat Eating, Agriculture and Cows
The warmists have proposed really disgusting “solutions” to meat eating: See: ‘Poop burgers’ to save the planet! Japanese scientist creates artificial meat from human feces
In 2006, a UN report blamed cows for global warming: See: Cow ’emissions’ more damaging to planet than CO2 from cars: UN report: ‘Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together’
But then, these claims fell into dispute: UN admits flaw in report on meat and climate change: Admits ‘a report linking livestock to global warming exaggerated impact of eating meat on climate change’
Science not so ‘settled’: Study rebuts UN livestock emission claims – Meat Eaters Off the Hook?
Then, we have very frightening activists proposing new “solutions” to correct meat eaters. See: NYU Bioethicist S. Matthew Liao again suggests ‘voluntarily’ medicating the public and shrinking humans to make them care more about global warming — Liao: ‘The stuff that we looked at are things we currently already can do. So they are not meant to be very farfetched scenarios. They are meant to be realistic. — ‘Screen for embryos that are expected to be shorter. Another possibility is you can get hormone treatments…We can use that technology to have smaller children’
NYU Bioethicist Prof. Liao on Eating meat: Seeks to ‘Make ourselves allergic to those proteins…unpleasant reaction…The way we can do that is to create some sort of meat patch’ — ‘Kind of like a nicotine patch where you put it on before you go to dinner go out to restaurant and this will curb your enthusiasm for eating meat’
The global warming activists are still convinced meat eating is evil for our climate:
Animal Rights’ Peter Singer: ‘Why are they serving meat at a climate conference?’ — The best thing conference could do for climate is to remove meat from menu —and to make a big deal about it’ — ‘No one really believes Rio+20 meeting will result in a new …

…New peer-reviewed paper finds the ‘hot spot’ predicted by climate models doesn’t exist — Published in Geophysical Research Letters
The authors “suggest that the vertical amplification of warming derived from modelled simulations is weighted with a persistent signal, which should be removed in order to achieve better agreement with observations.” Most likely, that “persistent signal” that “should be removed&quo t; from the models is the core assumption of an anthropogenic ‘hot spot’ present in all climate models.…
