New doubts cast on man-made warming

Sounds like the labs involved need to get some serious tech writers who know what they're doing, and start turning out mass-public reading level material that everyone can understand, directly, not through the political machine that is the IPCC. You've been complaining about the Mass Media getting the science wrong, Matt, but the scientific papers with their facts and figures are still too much for the average person to solidly get. Well trained tech writers are supposed to fix that problem.

I don't personally think it would, the temperatures in those regions tend not to vary as much. But I will have a look around and see if I can find anything. I personally believe we are going to see another ice age, I also believe that fossil fuels may have some type of impact. Well that said I do not have any hard data just my opinion.I do not know enough to debunk anyone or any group but wish I did! Buy beach front property in Missouri at a bargain today in years it will be worth a fortune!!!

Buy beach front property in Missouri at a bargain today in years it will be worth a fortune!!! The ice core graphs support your position, and the science has a very good account of why this might happen. Every time there is a rapid rise in CO2 levels and temperature it is quickly followed by an ice age. Ocean currents are the key to understanding this... [More]

If emissions are not enough to overwhelm the trend, though, would that buy us enough time to get our act together before hitting the point we're at now again?

And HERE'S how the data is collected. Again, sorry for FauxNews... I'll happily accept another news source... or a solid debunking of this one.

It is hardly a difficult task is it? Watts can whinge about it all he likes, he is just crying to avoid having to talk about his data being the same as the other weather stations produced and the fact that it is similar to satellite readings.

And HERE'S how the data is collected. Again, sorry for FauxNews... I'll happily accept another news source... or a solid debunking of this one. The reason that this methodology is still used is because it is a tried and tested approach. It is the standard for all world wide weather stations (apart from the automated ones). It has proven itself very effective and the most accurate at recording data and trends. The volunteers are skilled in their technique and can be trusted to provide accurate data. If someone comes up with a superior system it will be adopted. As my instrumentation lecturer ha... [More]
