Matt Ridley
Science, humanity’s
greatest intellectual achievement, has always been vulnerable to
infection by pseudoscience, which pretends to use the methods of
science, but actually subverts them in pursuit of an obsession. Instead
of evidence-based policymaking, pseudoscience specialises in
policy-based evidence making. Today, this infection is spreading. ......
Pseudoscience is bad
enough when it infects astrologers, 9/11 truthers and crop-circle
makers. But when its symptoms show up in mainstream bodies, such as the
World Health Organisation, it’s time to be worried."

NASA “Homogenization” Infusing MORE Error? Adelaide Airport: Cooling Turns Into Warming
NoTricksZone
Hiding the cooling
It should be obvious to all that these adjustments to the raw temperature data are an attempt to hide the long-term cooling temperature trend at Adelaide. These changes to the temperature data begs us to examine all station data for similar changes. Is global warming real or just a product of pencil, pen, and computer? "

Superstition Is Occurring With Alarming Frequency In The US
Real Science
The New York Times believes that a warm Christmas in New York proves global warming, and that “Record-breaking temperatures are occurring with alarming frequency in the United States.” Like everything else the New York Times writes about climate, this claim is complete nonsense. The frequency of maximum daily temperature records in the US peaked in the 1930’s – and have generally declined since then. For stations with history extending back to at least 1930, almost all US all-time temperature records occurred before 1940. Last Christmas was the warmest on record in New York, beating 1982 by two degrees. Valentines Day this year was the coldest on record in New York. Last year January through March was the coldest in New York City since 1934. This is a typical content-free climate article for the New York Times. The author obviously did no research and is just making stuff up. "

175 nations signed, Paris climate insanity hasn't come to force yet
Luboš Motl
It's a treaty in which the green activists in every nation invent an arbitrary five-year plan and they help their comrades in other countries to enforce this nation-specific anti-industrial terror on everyone else. They schedule a new convention each five years where their conspiracy is supposed to be updated. Whether this setup without any universal predetermined commitments may actually harm anyone is still debated. But the increase of the number of dirty parasites in the climate bureaucracy across the world and of the deceitful propaganda that these parasites need for their survival will certainly be genuine."

Systematic Error in Climate Measurements: The surface air temperature record
WUWT
There is no support in the temperature record for any emergency concerning climate. Except, perhaps an emergency in the apparent competence of AGW-consensus climate scientists."

'Nye who has been a vocal supporter of the climate
change hypothesis isn’t more qualified to speak about climate science
than any other non-scientist. He has a B.S. in mechanical engineering
from Cornell University, and worked at Boeing in the mechanical
engineering department. His entry into TV was not because of any science
expertise but because he won a Steve Martin look-alike contest and
began moonlight as a stand-up comic by night. Eventually he quit Boeing
and became a comedy writer and performer on a sketch comedy television
show in Seattle, Washington, called Almost Live!'
