Coldest snap in Norway for 200 years. AND it's cooler than normal in Cancun. There IS a God:

A few days ago The Economist produced a piece titled:-
A cold warming: How Britain’s cold winters fit into climate change

http://www.economist.com/node/17627251

Explaining the cold as evidence of warming.

In the comments, there is a good rant and then defence by justanonymous

Neat comment on this new, stupid, but at least relatively harmless wwf product

WPPatriot said It is now my personal mission to make wwf-printing software. It will print everything twice, just to be sure

Who is causing the climate change alarmism – where does the 150,000 climate change deaths a year ‘fact’ come from. Although the 10:10 campaign, has their founder – Franny Armstrong - saying 300,000 deaths a year, did they just double it to make the climate change message more urgent?

Chris Hulne - 19 years at the Guardian - I never knew!!

Chris was a financial and economic journalist for nineteen years at the Guardian, Independent and the Economist. He also founded one of the City’s largest teams of economists advising pension funds on overseas investments.

More good news? Some might think so ...

University of Virginia apparently lied to the AG by pretending that it no longer had access to documents requested of it.

I was really moved by CACC Phil's plight - the horror of getting a real job rather than smearing folks and blowing whistles whilst painted blue. I'm moved to send them a, er, donation. Do they have a freepost address?

The Campaign Against Climate Change are running out of money!!!

From the Guardian - Ahead of the Campaign Against Climate Change's march in the snow tomorrow.....

"Phil Thornill - Founder/National Co-ordinator.
And he's worried about his organisation, Campaign Against Climate Change, which is, he says frankly, "running out of money massively. I'm exhausted, we've been running on risible funds for years now, and to be honest I don't know what we're going to do."

Given CACC's position as one of the very first groups campaigning straightforwardly on climate change, it is indeed worrying that they, sitting in the middle of the campaign spectrum from conservative to radical, should be going bust."

Makes an interesting read.

Just heard the idiot future King on the Beeb, opening a new exhibit in the Science Museum all about AGW.

He was wittering on about how the sceptics are "anti-science" - he clearly hasn't got a clue.
