Just found this editorial at the Investors Business Daily (IBD) news page
http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=515789
“To Denmark, From Russia, With Lies”
Looks like a firm con-AGW ridicule editorial starting with the Russian IEA study. The editorial refers to certain climate experts with the closing sentence “As the CRU e-mails and other evidence reveal, Mann and his unindicted co-conspirators are barking up the wrong one”
My apologies for posting a tip to this thread. My IE8 browser keeps crashing when I try to open the Tips thread.

Alaska has record snow too–5 feet, 8 inches!!!
Barack Obama and the rest would “face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight.”
Four inches overnight? Valdez got more than four inches per hour at the height of the snowstorm…

Obama faces new global warming skeptic: Joe Sixpack
As President Obama returns from Copenhagen, polls show that Americans are becoming more more wary of his global warming agenda – and of global warming itself.
By Patrik Jonsson Staff writer / December 19, 2009
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2009/1219/Obama-faces-new-global-warming-skeptic-Joe-Sixpack
. . .
Polls suggest that Americans have soured on Obama’s climate strategy, and the “climategate” e-mail scandal has highlighted the public’s increasing skepticism of the basic science driving some of the White House’s most aggressive policy prescriptions.

I’m not sure if you have seen the presentation by Dr. Carter posted at Small dead animals? http://smalldeadanimals.com/ (Scroll down a tad)
A terrific presentation! Perhaps the best all around debunking I have yet seen. Honourable mentions of both Anthony and Steve.

The time you invest on this information will free you from the popular mind set. YOu will be able to think for yourself again.
If true we never need to import another ounce.
http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911
I wanted you to see some documentary, actually several them.
This one is a four hour BBC documentary but once understood you will
never view popular opinion the same. Nor will you watch the TV the
same. I have turned my TV off. Only watch one or two specific shows
and then off again.

and the Global warming farce
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5576670191369613647#
This is section one of the Jesse Ventura Global warming Expose… It
is an hour time investment. Free your self from the Global Warming
CO2 Fiasco!
Global warming hysteria is nothing more that the plan for Global
Government (Check Revelations for details)

Free your self from the Hysteria of WAR and the Jihad threat with this
from Richard Gage. Read the declaration on the right side of the page
scrolled down just a bit. It list about 10 things that are not
consistent with Gravity alone collapses.
If you will look at the list of fact about the collapse of the 3 WTC
buildings you will see clearly that the Collapse was simply not a
Gravity collapse like the 911 commission report claims.

A suggestion:
A query of the readership to find if there is even one pro-AGW piece of research that is not tainted. Finding junk science on this topic is too easy and indeed all of it may be junk. Finding solid robust research would be a bigger challenge.
Besides…………….
If every piece is worthless, then there is no more basis for believing in AGW than there is to believe in say Intelligent Design or the Tooth Fairy.

In the process of digging into the data sets I came across the following report that may be of interest to others that are mining through the “Climategate Information”
From the World Meteorological Organization
Dubrovnik 25 March–2 April 2009
Commission for Basic Systems
Fourteenth session
GENERAL SUMMARY OF THE WORK OF THE SESSION
Requirements and representation of data from AWSs (Automatic Weather Stations) page 8
6.1.26 The Commission reviewed the revised Functional Specifications for Automatic Weather Stations based on input from other technical commissions and adopted Recommendation 2 (CBSXIV)
– Revised functional specifications for automatic weather stations.
6.1.27 It requested the OPAG-ISS to develop BUFR descriptors for all the variables listed in the “Functional Specifications for Automatic Weather Stations” and to develop metadata compliant with the WMO metadata profile
.
6.1.28 It reviewed the “Basis Set of variables to be Reported by a Standard AWS for Multiple Users” and adopted
Recommendation 3 (CBS-XIV) – Basic set of variables for a standard automatic weather station for multiple users.
6.1.29 It requested the OPAG-IOS to continue development of the four AWS metadata catalogues, namely: (a) variables measured; (b) instruments used; (c) data processing procedures used; and (d) data QC procedures.
6.1.30 It noted that there is no dedicated expert team within the Commission dealing with the operational issues related to the surface observing networks, agreed to rename the ET on Requirements and Representation of Data from AWS (ET-AWS) to the ET on Requirements and Implementation of AWS Platforms (ET-AWS) and agreed on new Terms of Reference for the ET-AWS

More than 80 dead in European winter weather
At least 42 people have frozen to death in Poland over the last three days and another 27 in Ukraine.
Where the [self snip, but I didn’t want to] is global warming!
The UN should be warning people about the coming cold instead of trying to squeeze every penny out of them they can!

Philippine volcano ready to blow, photos:
Scientists warned that powerful booms emanating from the country’s most active volcano – 200 miles from capital Manila – indicated that a major eruption was imminent….nearly 2,000 volcanic earthquakes and tremors since yesterday….Lava fountains bursting from the cone-shaped volcano overnight rose 650 feet in the air….

The temperature also dropped significantly during the storm, from 33C to 19C.
Is that common for temperatures to plunge during a storm in summer?It’s a big drop.

more weather is not climate:
snow, severe cold from Moscow to Milan, Italy, and more deaths in Europe from cold:
More than 100 people have been killed in the cold snap across Europe…Authorities in Romania said 11 people had succumbed to the chill, and in the Czech Republic the toll was 12. In Germany, where temperatures have fallen to -33C in certain parts, at least seven people are known to have lost their lives…In Frankfurt, where snowfall prompted delays and cancellations, 3,000 people were forced to spend last night inside the terminals at the city’s main airport….After a weekend that brought the heaviest snowfall in about 100 years, Moscow was gridlocked…

A lot of thanks for each of your efforts on this web page. Kim enjoys doing research and it is easy to understand why. A number of us learn all relating to the powerful form you provide very important tricks through your blog and as well encourage contribution from visitors on the matter and our favorite daughter is without question becoming educated a whole lot. Take advantage of the rest of the new year. You’re doing a first class job.

A link to Christopher Booker’s take on things? Really? How terribly desperate. He’s the ultimate crank’s crank. This website really is a library of bunk.
