Icarus doesn’t reply to those who are expecting him to give the data that backs what he says.
He’ll just say you’re rude and deserve to be ignored, or something like that.

The Investors Business Daily has an assessment of the Copenhagen gathering. Signing the treaty would be a losing proposition and, following the Olympic defeat, would be bad for the self-esteem of the campaigner-in-chief.

They’re basically saying no to anything that forces them to impose mandatory limits on their output of greenhouse gas emissions. Other developing nations, including Mexico, Brazil and South Africa, will likely reject any proposals as well.
The deal was already in trouble. Three weeks ago, the Group of 77 developing nations met in Thailand to discuss what they wanted to do about global warming. Their answer: nothing.

It’s lookin’ purdy cold next week for the entire lower 48. Haven’t seen a map colored in pure blue for a while!

It’s just about official here at 41.9N, -88.7W. As of the end of September, the 2009 Cooling Degree Days(CDD) are 421 compared to 452 during the cold 1992 Summer after Pinatubo. 30+ year average here is 840. I’m pretty sure we have not logged a single CDD during this cold October thus far. A very cool Summer = no air conditioning! There’s no body of water nearby either.

Apparently the coldest it has been in Copenhagen in December is – 12 C. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/city_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT003490
Would be nice if that record is broken while the conference is going on.
Looks like the SST’s around that region will be close to 0 around that time.

Meh. It was 30 to 40 degrees above normal in the Northeast Jan 06 2007, Watts didn’t say a thing.
Has everyone suddenly forgotten that weather changes?

They have snow in the forecast for Oct. 30 in NW Calif. Down to 3,000.
I’d like to see that on Mt. Diablo.I grew up in the shadow of Mt. Diablo, in Concord. I can remember snow on Mt. Diablo. Left there in 1964.

Nope the only ones who seem to have forgotten that weather changes, and indeed the climate, are the warmers.
They say it didnt change and we will just get hotter and hotter. Well the cold weather is just a reminder to them it does change.

From the dmi website (in Danish) “Right now we are thus 1.8 °C below the 1961-90 normal and 2.1 °C below the product for the past ten years.
This means that in October 2009 Denmark will probably end up as one month, overall that is colder than normal. Before October can reach the warm side of average for the period 1961-1990, the rest of the entire month should average 13 °C and that is something of a meteorological impossibility.”
Right on Copenhagen. Global warming indeed!

Weather is propagandra on both sides. The scientists know this. Climate is at least 30 years. Stick to climate, please.

rbateman

Weather does not belong to science or government, it is the common man’s to keep.
It is we, the common man, who passed the legends and lore along, who has had to endure and adapt to it.
I take it as a personal offence and a direct insult to humanity when the weather is used as a stick upon my livelihood and the race to which I belong.
And that goes triple with climate.
The weather and the climate belong to us to ooh and aah over as we see fit.
I see no hard timeline for climate, merely that if it suits us not, we beat feet.
Weather is what we experience ranging from pure joy to a knock-down drag-out fight for survival.

Has anybody compared Hansen’s temperature numbers with numbers reported by weather forecasters? Are the same readings being used, or do forecasters collect their own readings? Since there are much crossover in reporting, and accuracy is a measure of superiority, there would be fewer problems with poor scientific practices. It would seem that forecasters would have more peer review, by the public.
There must be some way to aggregate the reported values over the last few decades and compare those with the numbers that IPCC is using. The reported numbers should not be difficult to get, but possibly hard to process into a database that is cross compatible.

“Weather is propaganda (sic) on both sides. The scientists know this. Climate is at least 30 years. Stick to climate, please.”
I suspect climate is really much longer than 30 years. However, in terms of human experience that number is useful. It’s a period of time that one group of folks hope will be long enough to get their agenda accepted.
Today’s climate scientists are similar to the medical researchers of the 60s that claimed eating eggs or drinking milk would cause cancer. They know just enough to be dangerous.

Ron de Haan (14:47:04) :
1. “The warming due to human activities which has become very clear during the last half century or so”.
2. “All the natural forcings tell us that we should be in a downward trend, albeit a slow one, which is strong evidence that the upward trend we actually observe is due to human activities”.
Icarus, please explain with solid evidence:
Point 1 and Point 2
Human activities contribute a net radiative forcing of around 1.6W/m² –
http://www.ipcc.ch/graphics/syr/fig2-4.jpg
This is consistent with the observed warming of the last half century, which natural factors alone cannot account for –
http://www.ipcc.ch/graphics/syr/fig2-5.jpg
The attribution of this warming largely to anthropogenic greenhouse gases is also supported by the observation of tropospheric warming with stratospheric cooling –
http://www.atmosphere.mpg.de/media/archive/1460.jpg
Increasing greenhouse gases from human sources are reducing atmospheric IR transmissivity, thereby warming the surface and troposphere, and cooling the stratosphere.

I would agree with you about those!

I’m near those spots, and I believe it. Yes, most of the past 2 wks were unusually (record) cold, but a few days were briefly very warm & pleasant, other than the swarms of ladybugs clustering on the house trying to get in — many thousands of ’em.

There is usually snow on Mt. Diablo every year in the winter. But this is early in the year. It’s not unprecedented just early. So where is global warming? That is the point.
I saw snow on it in the first week of April this year. I’ve been in California since 1992. This year was the first time I ever saw snow on it in April.

Although this article does not go into all the specifics it discusses the general scientific process that led to all kinds of cancer claims for various foods and chemicals.

It is the same flawed scientific approach being applied today with climate.
