Bombshell: 'Gaia scientist' James Lovelock endorses fracking
Previously, you may recall that Lovelock threw global warming under the bus. Now, he’s got another zinger the greens will be none to happy to hear in the middle of…
Earth's entire thermal infrared spectrum observed
From AGU highlights, interesting, but readers should note that this is one point on Earth in Chile, not a summation of the atmospheric absorption, emission, and transmission of infrared radiation…
James Hansen's climate forecast of 1988: a whopping 150% wrong
From their Die kalte Sonne website, Professor Fritz Vahrenholt and Dr. Sebastian Lüning put up this guest Post by Prof. Jan-Erik Solheim (Oslo) on Hansen’s 1988 forecast, and show that…

Petition to make taxpayer funded science research paywalless
