Public Funding of Science and Taxing Air

Getting to the truth does not seem to be the aim of the global warming alarmists that seems to be to promote only their version of the truth to the exclusion of any other evidence. This would not really make that much difference except in this case we are all going to have to pay a very heavy price for the government funded version of truth.

The biggest discover by far in the AGW debate is that the politicians have fund a way of taxing air and we should all understand that they are not going to let go of their new found tax stream and will always find willing scientists to assist them because they are paying the fiddler.

When you fool yourself

The snow is a notable event, well actually according to the met office it is ‘extreme snow event’
With the country grinding to a halt under a blanket of around 4 inches of snow it is tempting to ask why such an event as a moderate fall of snow can bring the country to a complete [...]

The Strange Retraction of Peter Jones

I do not often watch BBC News and it was only by accident that I did so on Monday  night when they showed an item about recycling. This item was based on comments made by Peter Jones and I suppose hit the headlines because Jones is a key adviser to environment ministers and the London [...]

Vote blue go to pot

What a Waste

In my local paper the Shropshire Star, I have been having a debate with a member of the Green Party sparked by a letter commenting on Eric Pickles the Tory spokesman on the environment; who told radio listeners recently that the whole waste collection policy is a fiasco with economic and revenue concerns rather than [...]

New GW Site

Believe it or not, very little research has ever been funded to search for natural mechanisms of warming…it has simply been assumed that global warming is manmade. This assumption is rather easy for scientists since we do not have enough accurate global data for a long enough period of time to see whether there [...]

Users of these data should be aware that data selection is a difficult but necessary aspect of the analysis and interpretation

The answer is not blowing in the wind

The wind farm industry has been forced to admit that the environmental benefit of wind power in reducing carbon emissions is only half as big as it had previously claimed.
“The fact is we need to reduce carbon emissions, however you account for them. But there are people who just don’t like wind farms and [...]

The end of all life if the Irish Vote No

As if the Irish did not have enough to worry about with their referendum coming up in a couple of weeks on the impenetrable rehash of the EU Constitution. What with their own political leaders and just about every EU schemer letting them know that a no vote would create untold doom laden inconvenience for [...]

From Global warming Politics
Tags: BlogDesk
Of course, those who have deep, vested interests in promoting the ‘global warming’ scare are going to have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, away from their precious toy. As one of my excellent correspondents observes, with so much taxation, control, and carbon trading involved, the fight could become rather nasty. [...]

Global Warming this morning

A Tangled Web posts that 2005 data from NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide “ice caps” near Mars’s south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row. So it would seem to add to the evidence that the long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both [...]

I didn`t know that

Christopher Booker informs readers of his Notebook in the Telegraph that “In terms of meeting the EU’s targets, the moment when waste disposal counts as “recycling” comes when it is collected and registered for that purpose.”

After that it can be and in many areas, often is simply dumped in landfill sites, there would [...]

Global Cooling

The argument advanced by scientists who study the sun is that too little respect is given to the effect of the sun on climate change.
If these scientists are right, those who argue that even if the likes of Al Gore are wrong about the causes of global warming, it is better to something [...]

Nothing More Than Hot Air?

There are two MSM articles that coincide with two separate themes this blog has referred to recently,
The first was in yesterdays Telegraph “There IS a problem with global warming… it stopped in 1998
By Bob Carter”
For many years now, human-caused climate change has been viewed as a large and urgent problem. In truth, however, the [...]
