POPSStudy: Cool Spells Normal in Warming World Easterling, D. R., and M. F. Wehner (2009), Is the climate warming or cooling? Geophys. Res. Lett., doi:10.1029/2009GL037810, in press. (accepted 30 March 2009) Abstract Numerous websites, blogs and articles in the media have claimed that the climate is no longer warming, and is now cooling. Here we show that periods of no trend or even cooling of the globally averaged surface air temperature are found in the last 34 years of the observed record, and in climate model simulations of the 20th and 21st century forced with increasing greenhouse gases. We show that the climate over the 21st century can and likely will produce periods of a decade or two where the globally averaged surface air temperature shows no trend or even slight cooling in the presence of longer-term warming.

POPS Scientists worldwide admit global warming is a hoax More: Not all scientists were fooled by Mr. Gore’s ruse, but many remained silent nonetheless. The Associated Press quotes an anonymous marine biologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who says she knew all along that “this climate change stuff was completely bogus.” “But I played along,” she said. “The opportunities for securing global-warming-related grant money were just too great for me to resist.” “Sweet, sweet grant money,” she added.

POPS"... I came here to solve them" President Obama stands firm in the face of Washington's political blizzards. Let's hope he has enough flexibility to take the hardest blows. So far the Limbaugh-right thinks they have him on the ropes.

POPSSea rise 'to exceed projections' Once again the IPCC has been shown to be wrong. And once again they are 'wrong' on the side of being too conservative about the impact of climate change.

POPSClimate Change: Hawaii Warmer lows, recent increase, large increase at altitude, beginnings of a disconnect with old patterns governing temperature - this is now a classic global warming signature.
