Gavin Schmidt on solar trends and global warming
I really wish Gavin would put as much effort into getting the oddities with the GISTEMP dataset fixed rather than writing coffee table books and trying new models to show…
Thanks Neil, Michael, and Buzz
America, and the world, is in your eternal debt. My fond memories from this time would not be complete without the mention of another person.

Guest post by John Goetz The GISS temperature record, with its various adjustments, estimations, and re-estimations, has drawn my attention since I first became interested in the methods used to…
Quote of the Week #15
There are so many to choose from in this interview, I suppose I’ll just have to list them all. But #3 is the most profound. From the Atlantic: An Interview…
Insufficient Forcing Uncertainty
It seems depending on who you talk to, climate sensitivity is either underestimated or overestimated. In this case, a model suggests forcing is underestimated. One thing is clear, science does…
Christy on questions about UAH seasonal signals
As promised, I contacted Dr. John Christy regarding the seasonal signal that the anonymous blogger “deepclimate” says he/she has identified in the UAH data, seen below. He/she says: “I am…
Global Sea Level Updated at UC – still flattening
There was a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth when Dr. Roger Pielke mentioned a couple of weeks ago in a response to Real Climate that “Sea level has…
Animating GHCN Global Temperature Anomalies from NCDC
With the recent announcement from NCDC that June 2009 – second warmest on record globally I thought it might be interesting to go back and look at some of the older…
Compelling video: Angry voters confront Congressman who voted for cap and trade

Flashback: More from the “weather is not climate” department. NOTE: These are news stories about unusual July weather in Argentina from 2007 which I thought might interest readers. Please note…
Out of Africa: A new paper by Christy on surface temperature issues
More weather station photos from Africa here. These stations shown and linked above are not GHCN stations as far as I can tell, but the siting was interesting nonetheless. This…

NOAA/NCDC: June 2009 – second warmest on record globally
There’s some really interesting things going on with global temperature. On one hand we have UAH and RSS which show Global Temperature anomalies near zero, while NCDC/NOAA and GISS (which…
NCAR: Solar cycle linked to global climate
Basil Copeland and I also found linkages between surface temperature and solar cycles in two articles we published in the last year. We were roundly criticized and ridiculed by warmists…
