  The flat earth society...

  What is amusing are greens who think that man is causing the changes in climate trends when the changes are not unusual.  In this debate the senator is one of the sanest voices and has been asking for reason and evidence instead of faith.  From what I see the latest solar and temperature data have proven him right and the greens wrong.  On Inhofe digs deeper posted 1 year ago 6 Responses

  Subsidies..

  Government has no business subsidizing farmers by making consumers pay more for their food.  Both parties support redistributive policies that need to be ended.  Unfortunately, voters are too dim to do what they must.  On McCain's 'Farm and Ranch Team' is chock full of agribiz heavies posted 1 year ago 8 Responses

  Missing the point...

  No.  The point is clear.  When the temperature trend change leads the change in CO2 concentrations you can't make the claim that CO2 is responsible for past changes in temperatures as Gore and Hansen have.  Please note that we have dropped the term global warming for climate change.  I guess that is what happens when the temperature trend has diverged from what the models have been predicting.

  OOPS..

  I meant to write PDO, not the AMO in the posting above.On Author and physicist Richard A. Muller chats with Grist about getting science back in the White Hous posted 1 year, 1 month ago 15 Responses

  CO2 leads and lags

  Sorry but when you get a lag of 800 years or so it is hard to argue that the effect is the cause.  The bottom line is that we already have a century of observations regarding CO2 and temperature and there is no evidence of any positive feedbacks due to CO2.  It is also clear that the factor that is mostly correlated to temperature over the last century is the phase of the AMO.  We did have a strong cooling trend from 1945 to 1975 when the PDO was in its cool phase and scientists were talking about the next ice age.  When it went positive they started to talk about warming.  

  Sorry but the real science is against the AGW position and no amount of scrambling will overcome the lack of credibility of the, 'man is responsible for warming,' crowd.  As I pointed out above, that has now changed into 'man is responsible for climate change.'
