From Cameron Rose yesterday: "Does anyone know where Paul Hudson of BBC Look North has gone since 21st July which is when his last post was published?"

Call off the search. He's back:

I came across the website Numberwatch.

It has a page of laws which includes the Law of Computer Models:

The results from computer models tend towards the desires and expectations of the modellers.
Corollary
The larger the model, the closer the convergence.

Does anyone know where Paul Hudson of BBC Look North has gone since 21st July which is when his last post was published?

I don't recall Lomborg being a sceptic, though it's a while since I read his original book. His thesis, as far as I remember, was that the precipitous response to the warming was economially unsound, and that adaptation was by far the better course. Has he changed musch from that view?

Your Grace,
Is there enough meat in the Guardian story re: Lomborg's new book, being hailed as a turnaround by MAJOR skeptic at the Huffington Post?

I must be extremely bored or I wouldn't be adding this absolutely stupid, wrong, alarmist - call it what you may - link from the Washington Post.

Is it silly season? Or is this some lame attempt to divert from the IAC report?

Increased carbon in atmosphere may explain bumper crop of poison ivy

Are there any plans to release the HSI in Kindle format or are there previously voiced objections?

In the last week I have written to Chris Huhne and to Prof Bob Watson accusing Watson of being a liar when he stated at the Guardian Debate that if you add CO2 to the atmosphere "it must warm".
At that same debate Watson said that he could not imagine a better system to advise on climate change than the IPCC. This weekend in the Telegraph he accuses the IPCC of atrocious handling of its mistakes. All that is now required is for him to admit (nudge nudge wink wink) that maybe they were not all mistakes :)

Please have a look at Private Eye 1269, page 9, "THE GREEN STUFF".
I can't capture it from the site - but it is an astonishing account of the proposals for a "Green Investment Bank". When I first read it I thought it was a spoof - it is too ridiculous for words. The amount of money involved in this venture is staggering - and it's all coming from the UK taxpayer. Maybe those in the UK would like to comment - I'm staying here in Australia.

Bish: It's August 30th and your report is due out by the end of August. Is it timed to come aout tomorrow, i.e. after the IAC review of the IPCC?
