		<description><![CDATA[SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia, June 8, 2010. &#8220;Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the Philippines.&#8221; Not all of those posh looking people who paid at least 10% of an ordinary Filipino&#8217;s monthly salary to attend this one-way-conference bothered to stand up on this announcement. The days of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo were counted, and President elect Benigno Simeon &#8220;Noynoy&#8221; Cojuangco Aquino III with his slogan &#8220;Kung walang corrupt walang mahirap&#8221; (If there is no corruption, there is no hardship) was not yet proclaimed officially. There was at least a foretaste of the new hope with five multimedia screens, a team of (Gaia?) worship singers and dancers: &#8220;We are the world&#8230; we can make a difference &#8230; if we just help each other&#8230;&#8221; Many songs that are 30 years old are en vogue in the Philippines. Then along came the opening speaker. SM Prime President Hans Si urged people to minimize their carbon footprint without sacrificing comfort. He knew what he was talking about since he counts as one of the richest people in the Philippines. And when Al Gore eventually started his two hour one-man-show, he praised him and SM Prime repeatedly as a business leader (and main [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Swiss-airshow.ch This is the monstrous helicopter used by Swiss Minister Pascal Couchepain when he attended a ceremony in the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland. Maybe he forgot that the guest of honor was Al Gore who came instead with a hybrid limousine Or maybe Couchepain forgot what the honoring award is for. Because in his speech during a conference before the ceremony, he emphasized according to the English online version of &#8217;24heures&#8217; , that the nuclear option was a “necessary solution” because electricity needs are rising and alternative energy sources are not convincing. He said wind-powered generators use a lot of concrete and steel while solar power “is not yet competitive.” Alternative energy sources must be “supported, developed, practised,” but they will not be able to fill the energy gap expected in the next 50 years.   The honorable Doctor Al Gore was not only given the opportunity to deliver a free speech this time. He was even given the opportunity to debate with a climate change skeptic. But unfortunately again, the media were not allowed to attend. Because Al Gore insisted on receiving the honorable degree behind closed doors.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HatCRUT3 is the global temperature Index of the U.K. Hadley Metoffice. In another post, I will attempt to combine the 3 land-ocean indices of GISStemp, HadCRUT3 and NCDC in one graph with 1900-2000 as the 20th century reference period, because there seems to be a bit of a confusion regarding the different developments of the temperature networks. Here are the temperature anomalies for the 3 surface temperature networks for the first quarter 2008 compared to the 20th century average.                             GISStemp   HatCRUT3  NCDC January                   0.13              0.19           0.20 February                 0.27              0.32           0.38 March                     0.68              0.56           0.70 1st Quarter 2008    0.36              0.36           0.43 The hypothesis of &#8220;the great pacific climate shift&#8221; having occured around 1976-1978, which lead to a big junk of the warming of the eighties, can be read here. In a later post, I like us to also discuss why when looking at the temperature history graphs of the various networks, some graphs make believe that the warming will continue, others don&#8217;t. For a comparison between surface stations and mid tropospheric satelite measurements, see this graph by noaa. The climate research unit informs here that the dataset HatCRUT2 was replaced by HatCRUT3 from January 2006. The old version which will not be updated anymore [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Professor Stefan Rahmstorf, climatologist at the University of Potsdam, Germany took the risk to justify himself to sceptical commenters of his post &#8220;Ist die Erderwärmung vorbei?&#8221; (is global warming over?) at Wissenslogs (powered by Spektrum der Wissenschaft). For this challenging task (during his &#8220;sparetime&#8221;), this co-author at realclimate.org deserves great respect. However, the following commenters&#8217; speech gets to the heart of global warming scepticism. [Update] For your guidance, here is Rahmstorf&#8217;s controversal claim: How „climate change skeptics“ take us for a ride and fight against effective climate protection policies. [Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf] What happened &#8211; why haven&#8217;t we got anywhere in climate politics those past 15 years? To explain this, all it takes is to switch on your TV (RTL, 11 June; ntv, 7 July; ARD, 9 July 2007). and we see Fred Singer who explains us that climate change is no reason for concern&#8230;Singer explains us the same thing for 15 years, over and over again. It&#8217;s just one little detail that has changed: Until two years ago, Singer stated that there isn&#8217;t such thing as global warming. Satellite data supposedly proof that. Meanwhile, this kind of arguing has become ever so dubious. (Satellites show the same warming as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Climatatologist Dr. Roy W. Spencer from University of Alabama raises tough questions regarding a supposed linear upward trend of global average surface temperature of the past 30 years, which is attributed to human activities with a confidence of 90%. 1) Why are ALL of the 20+ IPCC climate models more sensitive in their total cloud feedback than published estimates of cloud feedbacks in the real climate system (Forster and Gregory, J. Climate, 2006)? &#8230; 2) And regarding those observational estimates of (somewhat) positive cloud feedbacks: How do you know that the cloud changes that have been observed during temperature changes really are &#8220;feedbacks&#8221;? &#8230; 3) &#8230;we all agree that there has been strong global-average warming since the 1970’s. Well, how do you know this wasn’t the result of a small, natural change in cloud cover? Doesn’t it seem like (another) coincidence that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) just happened to shift to a different mode in 1977, about the time that the warming started? &#8230; The fact is, we DON’T know how much of recent warming is natural, simply because we don’t have good enough global cloud observations back to the 1970’s (and earlier) to measure any long-term changes in cloudiness to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  January 2008 has been a month that does not fit into the general global warming scare at all, except perhaps for the Chinese meteorologists who blame global warming for the harshest winter for 100 years!. I kid you not.  Meanwhile, it is most interesting to have a look at the newly released global temperature anomalies for January 2008 by NCDC NOAA. We are just 0.17°C above the 1951-1980 mean, which is in fact the coldest January since 1989, and the smallest monthly warm anomaly since November 2000.   Source data: NCDC NOAA        Chart: Climatepatrol  Is this just the cold girl &#8216;La Nina&#8217; and thus a temporary thing within the global warming curve? Former television meteorologist Joe Bastardi calls this past January &#8216;colder than the 20th century average&#8217; following NOAA&#8217;s respective announcement. He has a great presentation of the Northern Hemisphere snow cover of that January in his blog here. ICECAP (International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project) reported about this the same anomaly graph as presented by Rutgers Global Snow Lab. It in fact shows that January 2008 had the largest Northern Hemisphere snow cover for the period of 1966-2008 with 50.13 millions of square kilometers covered with snow, slightly larger than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The above graph shows that the 29-year average temperature lies now about 0.5 C above the period before the proxy records stop in 1935. For the Loehle reconstruction graph, please click at: http://www.oekologismus.de/?p=883. The supplementary information was published as “Correction to: A 2000-Year Global Temperature Reconstruction Based on Non-Tree Ring Proxies” by Craig Loehle, J. Huston McCulloch, in the Journal &#8216;Energy and Environment&#8217; (2008), vol. 19 No. 1, pp. 93-100, &#8216;a correction to Loehle Energy and Environment (2007)&#8217;.  The paper was also published under the title &#8216;a 2000-year global temperature reconstruction based on non-treering proxies&#8217; at the National Council for Air and Stream Inprovement, Inc. (ncasi) Now it seems to me a good approach to use the same smoothing of a 29 year running mean as Loehle used for his graph and apply it on the accurate temperature history since 1880. In the above chart, I used the data which can be downloaded at the NOAA Satelite and Information Service here: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/2007/ann/global.html#gtemp . Professor Stefan Rahmstorf, German oceanographer and climatologist at the Potsdam University, recently claimed on TV that a dozen recent research papers agree without exception that it is now &#8220;deutlich wärmer&#8221; (significantly warmer) than anytime during the last millenium. We often hear about a debate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Data source: GISS NASA GHCN &#8211; meteorological stations only; Chart by Climatepatrol The above ranking shows that 2007 has been the second warmest year on record (since 1880). Average global surface temperature was at 0,73°C above the standardized average of 1951-1980, whereas the year 2005 was at 0,76°C. The orange line shows the running mean of the past 12 months. The trend is flat at the moment. Although the global all-time peak was in January 2007 with 1,09°C above average when the Northern Hemisphere experienced a very mild winter. However, this winter started off well for the skiers in the U.S. and Europe despite December&#8217;s  0,60°C above average worldwide. We note that there have been six warmer months of December before 2007. According to a forcast by the Met Office Hadley Center, 2008 should be cooler. January started off very cold on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean with snow gaining new ground in the desert of Iran. Sea ice extent in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere is even slightly above average at the moment with Arctic Sea Ice recovering from its record low very fast. I have not read of any climate forcast which could have foreseen this last September. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: NASA &#8211; widespread twilight zone detected around clouds Temperature and humidity biases in global climate models and their impact on climate feedbacks We often read that the climate models, which plot scenarios for a rise in the globally assessed SST-temperature of 2 &#8211; 8 degrees C until 2100, are being evaluated by means of &#8216;real life&#8217; measurements. In this draft paper dated July 6, 2007, V. O. John and B. J. Soden from the Rosenstiel School for Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami, specifiy the newest data set available (since August 2002) &#8211; the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), a high spectral resolution radiometer which was designed &#8220;to provide vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and humidity with higher accuracy and better resolution than previous satellite instruments&#8221; (p. X-4). By means of this latest technology, the study draws the following conclusion (p. X-9): &#8220;The above comparisons have identified significant biases in the ability of current climate models to simulate the zonal, annual mean distribution of water vapor and temperature. However, the influence of water vapor and temperature on the climate response depends primarily on the projected perturbations to these fields, rather than on their mean state (which makes it even more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Chart and analysis adopted from giss nasa Average mean cloud cover worldwide (1983-2006 over the sea) Such variations are referred to as &#8220;natural&#8221; variability, that is the climate varies naturally for reasons that are not fully understood. The problem for understanding climate changes that might be produced by human activities is that the predicted changes are similar in magnitude to those shown here. The difference between natural and human-induced climate change will only appear clearly in much longer ( &#62;= 50 years) data records. This is exactly what I have been looking for all along. How much is the difference between natural and human-induced climate change? The answer is &#8211; we will probably know in about 20 years from now. Peer reviewed papers of solar science and atmospheric sciences have a hard time to draw any conclusions from solar output, cosmic ray flux, cloud cover and thermohaline circulations that could explain most of the warming of the past 30 years or so (ever since satellite mesurements are available). But I believe it is important that all sides &#8211; global warming alarmists, realists, skeptics or even so-called deniers should keep an open mind free from any ideology and funding biases.
