Hey Warmists! Whats the point of building wind turbines if all your
highly paid climate high priests are predicting extreme weather w/ high winds that will just rip them to pieces?
Must see 328ft tall wind turbine exploding, several videos from nearby residents give different views of this engineering oops.

German Climate And Energy Experts To Publish Controversial New Book – Reject
Alarmism, Call For Reopening The Debate.
"The Cold Sun, Why The Climate Catastrophe Is Not Taking Place"
synopsis: The IPCC is in error, the models are bogus, and the climate
catastrophe is not coming.
The book also underscores that a transition to renewable energy source is
essential and that we need to do it. But it has to be done rationally and in
a sensible step-by-step approach. Only in this way will it be possible to
make the energy transition while assuring the needs of billions of people on our home planet are humanely met.

EU carbon emissions trading scheme is a waste - UBS Report
The Australian reported that Swiss banking giant UBS said that the European
Union's emissions trading scheme has cost the continent's consumers
USD 287 billion for almost
zero impact on cutting carbon emissions, and has
warned that the EU's carbon pricing market is
on the verge of a crash in 2012.
In a damning report to clients, UBS Investment Research said that had the EUR 210 billion the European ETS had cost consumers been used in a targeted approach to replace the EU's dirtiest power plants, emissions could have been reduced by 43% instead of almost zero impact on the back of emissions trading.

One more witness, this time from Mt Everest.
Few things come as a surprise to experienced climbers, who must constantly be ready for treacherous terrain or life-or-death changes in the weather. But, when mountaineer and Mt. Everest expert David Breashears first compared his high resolution photographs of the Himalayas with the first Everest photographs taken by George Mallory in 1921, he was floored by the surprising differences.
"I never expected to see climate change at the roof of the world," Breashears recalled. "These glaciers were immutable, the first explorers thought. We all thought they would be here forever, and now we are seeing glaciers sublimate. They are literally turning from solid to gas."
Breashears, the award-winning filmmaker of the IMAX hit Everest, shared his personal stories from multiple Everest expeditions and offered USC students, staff and faculty a special preview of his latest internationally-acclaimed project, a series of high-resolution photographs of Mt. Everest. The October 4th event, sponsored by the Center on Communication Leadership & Policy in conjunction with the USC US-China Institute, was an opportunity for Breashears to share with a younger audience his passionate appeal for action on climate change.
"I hate to say it, but the world is a mess," Breashears cautioned the audience as he began his presentation. "We aren't just standing still; we are working backwards."

The American Association for the Advancement of Science is having its 2012 annual meeting here in Vancouver. Tens of thousands attend. Should be an interesting week, with the tar sands/global warming conspiracy crowd out in full force, denying like mad.
Are any SuperTopians planning to attend? If so, we could plan a get together.

bookworm's persona here on ST reminds me of those loudspeakers blaring propaganda in villages of Mao-era China. About as worthwhile to argue with, as well.

DrDeeg - I'll 2nd that about bad science from the IPCC.
Although as an excuse to party down for another week with other peoples
money the COP17 Conference in Durban South Africa was a smashing success.
Millions were pumped into the economy of this remote city. Huge amounts of
alcohol were consumed. New friendships were made and appropriate antibiotics
administered afterward. People gave speeches and then returned home.

Climate Change Skepticism Seeps Into Science Classrooms
Wednesday 18 January 2012
by: Neela Banerjee, McClatchy Newspapers | Report
Washington - A flash point has emerged in American science education that echoes the battle over evolution, as scientists and educators report mounting resistance to the study of man-made climate change in middle and high schools.
Although scientific evidence increasingly shows that fossil fuel consumption has caused the climate to change rapidly, the issue has grown so politicized that skepticism of the broad scientific consensus has seeped into classrooms.
Texas and Louisiana have introduced education standards that require educators to teach climate change denial as a valid scientific position. South Dakota and Utah passed resolutions denying climate change. Tennessee and Oklahoma also have introduced legislation to give climate change skeptics a place in the classroom.
Last May, the school board of Los Alamitos, Calif., passed a measure, later rescinded, identifying climate science as a controversial topic that required special instructional oversight.

Weathermen face jail for getting it wrong!
Yikes! I hope they don't start applying that to econometricians. Otherwise we'll have to go back to the golden rule of accurate economic forecasts: Give them a number or give them a date, but never give them both!

Interesting op-ed in yesterday's LA Times by Naomi Oreskes, professor the history of science at UC San Diego and co-author of the provacative Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming.
The "skepticism" about evolution, smoking, ozone depletion, and climate change have troubling parallels.

B K - so you confess willingly that you have failed to learn the
lesson of diversity.
What sort of Liberal are you to speak ill of people that are different

Leaked documents from the Heartland institute...
Heartland’s “climate strategy” also includes a new anti-science climate education program designed to convince teachers that the science of climate change is both “controversial and uncertain”, two points said to be “effective at dissuading teachers from teaching science”.
That's right - dissuading teachers from teaching science.
And what is the Heartland Institute? Their original role was to spread uncertainty about the link between cigarette smoke and cancer, funded by tobacco industry. Worked for a while. After that became a lost cause, their new role is to do the same for the links showing anthropogenic global climate change - funded of course by the oil industry.

Nice photo essay from BBC on Uganda's vanishing glaciers:
From an earlier BBC story reporting research on these equatorial glaciers:
Trends point to an air temperature rise of roughly half a degree Celsius per decade since the 1960s without any significant change in annual rainfall.
