WUWT-TV's answer to Al Gore's 'Dirty Weather Report' is ON THE AIR

Hailing Al Gore, again. It’s worse than we thought!

“U.S. tornado activity near low point in modern record”
After one of the busiest years for tornadoes in 2011, tornado numbers in 2012 have come crashing down to historic lows.
In 2011, there were 1692 twisters – second most on record. This year, only 882 tornadoes have touched down. (Tornado records date back to 1950*).

I don’t know how much more of this dirty, filthy, rotten weather I can take.

I must be naive… I’m watch WUWT-TV on one screen and Gore’s “Dirty Weather” show on another.
On Gore, I actually expected to see some science proving how we are inducing climate change everywhere on Earth. Literally, it has no science component to it all. Each hour starts with blanket statements and nothing more. Gore’s lack of science sticks out like a sore thumb compared to Watt’s presenters. It like the difference between night and day.
The closest thing to “science” I’ve seen is when Gore said that human induced warming of the oceans surrounding Antarctica has allowed an unnamed and unseen species of crabs, who he says hate cold, to attack delicate defenseless unidentified species of creatures on the continent “by the millions”. No proof whatsoever… just Gore’s word!
Its an insult to a person’s intelligence.
The Gore presentation is big budget, controlled with mostly panel discussions, video clips and slick packaging. Gore’s boat trip to Antarctica alone probably cost more than most people make in a lifetime.
WUWT-TV, on the other hand, is low budget with glitches. But if you want real science, then Watts is the only place you can find it.

12,000 here
12,000,000 with Al Gore
gives you an idea of just what a minority skepticism is!

In science it only requires 1 person to be right for a theory (as opposed to AGW speculation) to be scrapped.
Since you are looking at numbers have you seen recent polls regarding skepticism. No so small in the US at 35%.

Finally, even you must know about the media bias (BBC 28Gate etc.), ill gotten wealth of Fat Al ($100 Million) etc.

Kenjicam is awesome.
Anthony; please do a show for an hour or two every weekday – or a longer show once a week.

Hailing Al Gore again and again. It’s worser and worser than we thought.

“New paper finds the highest storm activity is associated with cold periods”

“We find that high storm activity occurred periodically with a frequency of about 1,500 years, closely related to cold and windy periods diagnosed earlier”

Maurizio’s presentation was definitely enjoyable! Great coup to tuck under his belt, and I’m glad for the rest of up that the information is out there!

Famtastic Maurizo. This presentation should go around the world.

precious kenji should resign from UCS and start up his own Union –
“The Union of Unconcerned Scientists”
as expected, maurizio was interrupted by a number of ads – mostly for University of Central Queensland, which does, quite naturally, have CAGW pretensions:
(undated, but see second linkk) CQU: Rocky hosts climate change author from USA
American academic Dr Elizabeth Malone has been visiting Rockhampton to collaborate with CQUniversity researchers working on social networks and climate change.
American academic Dr Elizabeth Malone has been visiting Rockhampton to collaborate with CQUniversity researchers working on social networks and climate change.
The CQUni team is leading a $280,000 project funded by the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility (NCCARF)*.
They will use ‘social networks analysis’ to understand how stakeholders communicate and share information about water resources and flooding disasters in their region.
Dr Malone, the author of a book titled Debating Climate Change, is based at the University of Maryland’s Joint Global Change Institute…
“Liz also spoke about the work of the Joint Global Change Institute – a partnership between the Pacific NorthWest National Laboratory and the University of Maryland – to determine whether there are any further collaborations that might be possible with research staff and/or students.”
As part of Dr Malone’s visit, CQUniversity’s Institute for Resource Industries and Sustainability (IRIS) hosted her presentation on Sociology, Climate Change, and Integrated Research…. How to make up a career!.

CQU: Events: What’s On
Institute for Resource Industries and Sustainability (IRIS) invites you to join them for a presentation “Sociology, Climate Change, and Integrated Research…. How to make up a career!” by visiting collaborator, Dr Elizabeth Malone, University of Maryland’s Joint Global Change Institute, United States of America.
Time: 11:00am to 12 noon
Date: Monday, 22nd October 2012
This session will be recorded and can be downloaded at a later date…
Elizabeth Malone focuses on policy-relevant sociological research in global change issues, integrating disparate worldviews, data sources, and scientific approaches. She works with a team of social scientists on behaviour and institutional change dimensions of sustainability. Malone was an author and review editor for the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment…
She edited, with Steve Rayner, Human Choice and Climate Change, which assesses social science research relevant to global climate change. Malone holds a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Maryland-College Park. Her book Debating Climate Change uses both discourse analysis and social network analysis to explore bases for agreement in the arguments used in the global climate change debate…

Great work Anthony. Any word as to whether any of this will make it to youtube?

Anthony watched 3 hours of the webcast and loved it had it been over a weekend would stay up and watch it all..but it’s past midnight here in the UK and work beckons all the best hope to see all presentaions on youtube
well done, doggie biscuit for Kenji.

Watching on and off (daytime = work) in rural Victoria, Australia via satellite connection.
I thought Dr. Ball was great.
Thank you, Anthony. A job well done and really worth the effort.

Please excuse me – my previous comment was ambiguous. I want WUWT broadcasts of interviews an hour or two every weekday – or a longer weekly programme. Kenjicam should be 24/7.
