Following the second of the only-two commenting sources listed in the new Google News Comments feature aimed at responding News sources on 'Global Warming' leads us to a rather interesting summary of last month's climate conference. No wonder it wasn't heavily reported, because whatever may be said about the whole Climate Change thing, it seems quite evident that what we'd been told before was, well, kinda based on wildly distorted data that's now been corrected or retracted. Move along folks, nothing to see here ...
- the UN's "hockey-stick" graph falsely abolished the mediaeval warm period
- Global temperature had risen by only half as the official records showed.
- Changes in the deep oceans accounted for two-thirds of the warming that has recently been observed.
- There are very close correlations between changes in solar activity and changes in global surface temperature. ... the sun was more active (and for longer) than at almost any similar period in the past 11,400 years
- Now that solar activity is declining, so is global temperature: January 2007 to January 2008 was the greatest since the 1880s.
- The UN's climate-change panel noticed that global temperature is not rising anything like as fast as its climate assessments in 1990, 1995, 2001, and 2007 had predicted and say the UN's calculations need to be reviewed.
- A Nobel-prizewinning contribution to the UN's 2007 report corrects a table of figures - inserted by the UN after the final draft - in which the contributions of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice-sheets to sea-level rise had been incorrectly multiplied by ten.
- The UN's rounding of a key value had led to a 50% overstatement of the effect of all greenhouse gases
- The UN had increased the temperature-feedback multiplier by 71%
- Correcting these embarrassing errors and exaggerations suggests global temperature would rise by less than 1 degree Celsius with a doubling of CO2 concentration.
"Ordinary voters, faced with absurd intrusions into their private lives in the form of compulsory poison-filled light-bulbs and fraudulent 'carbon trading' schemes, are beginning to ask the searching questions that the news media would have asked if they had not been so mesmerized by the circulation increases that their original stories of doom and disaster had engendered. Now, the hype is wearing off"
[ Christopher Monckton, The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley ]
Well now that sure puts a damper on things! First we find out plastic bags are innocent, then they tell us buying Kenyan greens is actually 'greener' than serving local produce ... and now this??

The latest news about
The latest news about climate change is so alarming (the right wing would say alarmist) as to make many people want to plant their aching heads in the sand. Some scientists using advanced computer models now argue that if we want to stop the Earth from warming, the amount of carbon we should be emitting is ... none. None? As in, zero? As in, shutting down the global industrial economy? After all, global energy demand is expected to accelerate until at least 2020. Yet attempts even to slow the rate of increase of carbon emissions have paralyzed world politics for more than a decade.
Global Warming Doomsday
Global Warming Doomsday Called Off is a CBC Newsworld documentary from last April, and no, not April Fools, and yes, the evidence that was presented above is largely echoed in this report, and yes, the evidence against the hockey-stick is pretty solid and if you ask me, the evidence from the ice-cores clinches it: Yes, the planet is getting warmer ... because it is supposed to be warmer ... we only started taking notes at the coldest point in 150,000 years and besides, if it is accellerated by CO2 then why does it grow most in the first half of the twentieth century?
But wait ... there's more ...
Ok, ok, fair's fare, while not a rebuttal to this report, here's the other side's story calling out this Fox News report, which is a pretty easy straw-dog target compared to taking on Newsworld; back at the Greenhouse Debunkers there's also the 17 year old documentary from UK Channel-4.
Dear Teledyne, The climate
Dear Teledyne,
The climate change declaration below was issued in a news conference in Orlando, Florida on July 1, 2008.

Summary Declaration of the Start of the Next Global Climate Change
After an exhaustive review of a substantial body of climate research, and in conjunction with the obvious and compelling new evidence that exists, it is time that the world community acknowledges that the Earth has begun its next climate change. In an opinion echoed by many
scientists around the world, the Space and Science Research Center (SSRC), today declares that the world’s climate warming of past decades has now come to an end. A new climate era has already started that is bringing predominantly colder global temperatures for many
years into the future. In some years this new climate will create dangerously cold weather with significant ill-effects world wide. Global warming is over – a new cold climate has begun.
