Morrissey: Sky-high hole blown in AGW theory?

Two stories have dropped that may blow big holes in the anthropogenic global warming argument — one of which is literally sky-high. Forbes reports on a peer-reviewed study that uses NASA data to show that the effects of carbon-based warming have been significantly exaggerated. In fact, much of the heat goes out into space rather than stay trapped in the atmosphere, an outcome that started long before AGW alarmists predicted...

NASA doubts climate model certainty

WATTS UP WITH THAT, 4/27/2010 by Anthony Watts - Amazingly, this one is from NASA, citing doubt in the climate models that have become the mainstay of the AGW issue. This is from a NASA publication.

Global records of surface temperature over the last 100 years show a rise in global temperatures (about 0.5° C overall), but the rise is marked by periods when the temperature has dropped as well. If the models cannot explain these marked variations from the trend, then we cannot be completely certain that we can believe in their predictions of changes to come.

Understanding Climategate's Hidden Decline

AMERICAN THINKER, 12/6/2009 by Marc Sheppard (Hat tip: Jean Nelson) - Close followers of the Climategate controversy know that much of the mêlée surrounds an email in which Climate Research Unit (CRU) chief Phil Jones wrote about using “Mike’s Nature Trick” (MNT) to “hide the decline.” And yet, 17 days and thousands of almost exclusively on-line op-eds into this scandal, it still seems very few understand exactly which “decline” was being hidden, what “trick” was used to do so, and why Jones’s words have become the slogan for the greatest scientific fraud in history.

Monckton: Caught Green-Handed ClimateGate Scandal

UPDATE: Changed from embedded report to a link.
Read the comprehensive report "Caught Green-Handed!" from Lord Christopher Monckton, who warned that U.S. sovereignty may end in Copenhagen." The table of contents is an impressive list of obvious topics the mainstream media, the president, congressional Democrats and world leaders have failed to address appropriately, especially following the Climategate revelations. TOC follows:

Climate change data dumped

UK TIMES, 11/29/2009 - SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based. ∴ It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years. ∴ The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.

Video: Dr. Tim Ball on the CRU emails

From the Corbett Report (via Anthony Watt) - Retired climatologist Dr. Tim Ball was interviewed to discuss the significance of the recently leaked emails and documents from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University. These emails reveal stunning behind-the-scenes details, and Dr. Ball shares his insights on what they show. Of interest is what he has to say about the Wegman report.
