Yet Another Paper Shows Manmade CO2 Plays Insignificant Role In Climate Change
NoTricksZone
"Not surprisingly, we see from observations today that the assumed CO2 impacts have indeed been massively overblown. Now the scientists are left to fudge and falsify past climate data to force it to fit their crumbling models."

Cliff Mass pans Hansen’s PNAS paper
WUWT
"This paper (found here) has been quoted in hundreds, if not thousands, of media outlets and newspapers and has garnered the praise of many environmental advocacy groups. The problem? Their conclusions are demonstrably false and their characterization of the science and statistics are deceptive at best."

Dear NOAA and Seth, which 1930′s were you comparing to when you say July 2012 is the record warmest?
WUWT
"The press release is out, and the usual serial bloviators are rushing to trumpet the news. July 2012 was the hottest ever on record! “Yikes! We’re gonna roast! Global Warming!” they wail on twitter and blogs. ......Of course the first thing I do when I see these sorts of things is go look at the data. It tells a far more interesting and credible story. Here’s some graphs NCDC and Seth won’t ever put in a press release or AP story: ..."

July 2012 Hottest Ever in the U.S.? Hmmm….I Doubt It
Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D.
"As far as daily HIGH temperatures go, 1936 was the clear winner. But because daily LOW temperatures have risen so much, the daily AVERAGE July temperature in 2012 barely edged out 1936. Now, of course, we have that nagging issue of just how much urban heat island (UHI) effect remains in the data. The NCDC “homogenization” procedures are not really meant to handle long-term UHI warming, which has probably occurred at most of the 1218 stations used in the above plot."

Greenland meltdown could happen in only 67,000 years!
The Hockey Schtick
"A 'Scientific' American article, Greenland Meltdown Driven by Collapse of Glaciers at Ocean Outlets, begins with the scary proclamation, “the ice sheet as a whole has lost some 36 billion metric tons of ice each year in recent years.” However, the New Zealand Climate Conversation Group calculates this amounts to an annual loss of only 0.00148% of the Greenland ice cap and would require only 67,222 years to meltdown at that rate [if an ice age doesn't occur beforehand]."

Energy bills to soar by more than £300 a year because of obsession with wind power, report claims
Daily Mail
"Britain's 'obsession' with wind farms will push up family electricity bills by more than £300 a year, a report claimed today. The Government's green energy plans for the next eight years are a £124billion 'blunder' that will hit every UK household, a senior British economist has also said. In a stark warning Professor Gordon Hughes, who has produced a study on how wind energy will hit energy costs, said that British consumers simply cannot afford to subsidise wind power."

Why The Earth Is Cooling – CO2 Warming Is Only A Tenth Of What The Models Show!
NoTricksZone
"My question is: Why have the professional “climatologists” not done the simple work that I did on a lazy Saturday afternoon with my laptop? They must know that water vapor nearly wipes out CO2 in warming the Earth, and that clouds and albedo do the rest. What’s their excuse for this massive “oversight”?

Harsh weather doesn't prove global warming, Republican lawmakers say
Climate Realists
"GOP lawmakers say this year's harsh weather that has produced devastating wildfires and the most widespread drought in 50 years has not changed their minds on climate change. Republican lawmakers say this year's harsh weather that has produced devastating wildfires and the most widespread drought in 50 years has not changed their minds on climate change. .....Other GOP members questioned why environmentalists and others raise concerns about the planet warming during hot spells, but the opposite doesn’t occur during bouts of severe winter weather."

Hansen Uses 30 Year Cherry Picked Time Period To Prove That Climate Is The Most Extreme In 10,000 Years
Real Science
"You can’t make this stuff up. He claims that the weather is the most extreme in 10,000 years based on a baseline of “the last few decades“ What a brazen liar this man is. He wrote the exact opposite ten years ago." (h/t Climate Depot)

'A sudden increase in extreme weather events': the new Big Lie
Telegraph
"The Warmists are getting desperate. Their attempt to make much of the Muller non-story backfired horribly. Their yarn about melting Greenland turned out to be ludicrously overdone. Then, of course, there was Watts et al's paper showing that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – the US government department responsible for keeping tabs on America's temperature data – has been fiddling the data so as to exaggerate late 20th-century warming by 100 per cent. So what ingenious ruse have the Warmists alighted upon to disguise the awkward fact that they are losing every important scientific argument going? Simple: they've now decided that whenever the weather does anything extreme anywhere in the world, it's another sign of Climate Change."

Unbelievable: Proven Gas Reserves Up 50% From 1980 To 2010
GWPF
"The proved gas reserves in the US are 50% higher in 2010 than 30 years ago during which time the country consumed more than double the amount of the 1980 proved gas reserve number. That's the complete opposite of every energy prediction ever made. How could that be?"

Europe's Quiet Shale Revolution
GWPF
"Will America’s shale gas revolution ever spread to Europe? According to Chevron, it already has. The company has been quietly buying up huge swaths of land across eastern Europe, an area it believes could be the next great frontier for shale gas exploration. It is convinced that the economic arguments for shale will ultimately trump the environmental concerns."

Pielke Jr. demolishes IPCC Lead Author Senate EPW testimony
WUWT
"What Field says the IPCC says is blantantly wrong, often 180 degrees wrong. It is one thing to disagree about scientific questions, but it is altogether different to fundamentally misrepresent an IPCC report to the US Congress. Below are five instances in which Field’s testimony today completely and unambiguously misrepresented IPCC findings to the Senate."
