		<description><![CDATA[New E-Cat website here. Nice. Patronizing essay at the Conversation. My guess is that as the "Climate Crisis" continues to fizzle, the less gullible skeptical scientists will take a more prominent place. The credibility of CSIRO, BoM and Astronomers will likely suffer for the certainty they have voiced, their deference to the IPCC, and defense of poor practices. Newt Gingrich now leading in the GOP polls. A man for the time? UPDATE: Good article on why Newt will lead - its his command of Read more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paraphrasing Steve Jobs -- reasons not to pursue renewables: 1. Anti-environment. Increasing the concentration of generation allows larger areas of land to be retained in their natural state. In contrast, harvesting of land for biomass, wind or solar or energy damages more land. Advocates of renewable energy damn the natural environment with ugly, dangerous solar and wind structures. 2. Backwards. The progress of civilization is characterized by the utilization of denser, more intense energy Read more [...]]]></description>

Peer-reviewed publication demonstrating that policy-makers are being misled by inadequate climate models. Hosted a venue for the "Watts Up With the Climate" Tour of Australia. Gave four public lectures on climate skepticism, arguing that the forecasts of prominent climate modelers are not reliable.

		<description><![CDATA[Another day, another half-baked green scheme busted as $150 million is blown on a clean coal scheme. Common sense tells us that burning a bulk substance, only to recapture it and return it back to where it came from will be very expensive. And, OMG, that's what they found. Its a good example of moral hazard, as the scientists, policy makers and advisers bear none of the costs that all fall on the long-suffering taxpayer. The list of green debacles in the state of Queensland (with a GDP about Read more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Roger Pielke Sr. reviews another very important new paper showing the abuse of models. In the opinion of the editor Kundzewicz (who has served prominently on the IPCC), climate models were only designed to provide a broad assessment of the response of the global climate system to greenhouse gas (GHG) forcings, and to serve as the basis for devising a set of GHG emissions policies. They were not designed for regional adaptation studies. To expect more from these models is simply unrealistic, Read more [...]]]></description>

Everything that has been done in the last year has been designed to silence debate The appallingly tendentious APS statement on Climate Change The original Statement, which still stands as the APS position, also contains what I consider pompous and asinine advice to all world governments, as if the APS were master of Read more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Attributed to NEIL BROWN, December 26, 2009 UNLIKE most people, who think Copenhagen was a failure, I think it was a great success. It has preserved the golden rule of international diplomacy. Years ago, when I was a young fellow and started to go to international conferences, an old hand who was about to retire took me aside. ''I'll be shoving off into retirement soon,'' he said, ''so I thought I might pass on the golden rule of international conferences." I was fascinated. I was sure he would Read more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Validation of climate models is like finding someone to cement your drive. You ask one contractor, and they say they can do it, sometime between now and Christmas. Thatâ€™s a high level of uncertainty. You ask another, and they say they can do it, but itâ€™s their first time. Thatâ€™s a low level of skill. You ask another, and they say that they will do it, but the result is not going to be any better than what you have already, or may even be worst. Thatâ€™s an honest vendor, Read more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I write this, my wife of 46 years is in intensive care fighting to live. She is there partly because of bad medical science and partly because of what had become a widespread syndrome in many scientific disciplines, the demonization of a person or a concept by people who can be wrong. My wife does not provide the best example of demonization, but it is current, motivational and recent and on my mind. Please excuse me if I become too personal. The important part is not the personal part. It is Read more [...]]]></description>
