Stop the Bear Hunt?
In June of 2015, the Florida Fish and Game Commission approved the hunting of black bears. The hunt took place in late October. Stop the Bear Hunt, an anti-bear hunting protest industry group, provides 4 reasons why the Florida bear hunt is a bad idea. Let’s take a look at each one and see if the Commission’s decision was misguided. Argument 1. The hunt is unnecessary and unwarranted. Stop the Bear Hunt claims that bear numbers have not reached habitat carrying capacity and that killing bears … [Read more...]
2015 Will be the 3rd Warmest Year in the Satellite Record
Way back in June, John Christy and I called 2015 as being the warmest year on record … in the surface thermometer data. Given the strong El Nino in progress, on top of the official thermometer data warming trend, this seemed pretty obvious. Of course, everyone has their opinions regarding how good the thermometer temperature trends are, with periodic adjustments that almost always make the present warmer or the past colder. But I’m not going there today …. Instead, I’m going to talk about our … [Read more...]
Is Our Position on Global Warming “Baffling”?
In our current public dialogue, people don’t often encounter our position on global warming, so when they do, they can find it surprising, even “baffling,” as one website visitor on the second day of COP21, the UN climate summit in Paris, put it. But if they take the time to investigate why we hold our position, we think they'll at least no longer be baffled, even if they're not persuaded. If we were persuaded by the empirical evidence that human use of fossil fuels was causing global … [Read more...]
It’s Okay to Laugh at COP21!
Honest, you can't make these things up! Here's a screen capture from WattsUpwithThat.com on November 30, first day of COP21, the UN climate summit in Paris. Here's what the blurry (because screen captured) text says: Laughable: COP21 and Comedy Central share a logo style Anthony Watts, 20 hours ago, November 30, 2015 From the truth is stranger than fiction department. I was sent a photo showing hte UN Logo being installed at the COP21 conference in Paris. Source: Inquirer.net where they say … [Read more...]
A Call for Accurate Language about CO2 in the AGW Discussion
In an otherwise fine article at WattsUpwithThat.com, Ari Halperin writes: For some time, the subject [of the residence time of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere] was surrounded by confusion, created by sloppy definitions and evasive statements in IPCC assessment reports. There was a mix-up between the residence time of a CO2 molecule in the atmosphere and the rate of change of the surplus CO2 concentration. The residence time (~5 years) is of little interest, except as an … [Read more...]
On Climate and Economic Policy, What do the World’s Poor Need?
Recently the Cornwall Alliance sent to over 2,900 faculty members of Christian colleges and universities around the country an email asking them to consider endorsing our An Open Letter on Climate Change to the People, their Local Representatives, the State Legislatures and Governors, the Congress, and the President of the United States of America. The email had the name of Dr. Roy Spencer, Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow and Principal Research Scientist in Climatology at the University of … [Read more...]
Preventing Climate Change does Not Help the Poor, It Dooms Them!
Many climate scientists argue that we need to mitigate global warming because otherwise it will be the poor who will be hurt the most. Apparently these scientists do not understand their own models. Projections from climate models are based on the rates of poverty reduction, with the highest (‘worst’) temperature projections resulting when the poorest people in the world increase their incomes from $246 (measured in constant 1990 USD) to $49,000 per year (approximately equal to U.S. GDP per … [Read more...]
How NOAA Lies with Global Warming Statistics
A subscriber to Cornwall Alliance’s e-newsletter recently wrote asking us if we have replies to the various graphs at “Climate Change: Global Temperature,” on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate.gov web page. Oh my goodness the misrepresentations of facts in those graphs are awful! Preparing refutations/analyses of all the graphs there would be a very long and complex project for which I simply cannot take time. But let’s take this one—probably the most … [Read more...]
