About that 'warmer temperatures increase violence' claim…real world crime data doesn't support it
Readers surely recall the wild claim yesterday made by researchers from Princeton University and the University of California-Berkeley who reported in the journal Science that even slight spikes in temperature…
Claim: 2°C temperature increase will make people angry
From Princeton University (with help from Berkeley) Cool heads likely won’t prevail in a hotter, wetter world Should climate change trigger the upsurge in heat and rainfall that scientists predict,…
Uncertainty be damned, let's make ice and sea level projections anyway
‘A better path’ toward projecting, planning for rising seas on a warmer Earth From Princeton University, by Morgan Kelly, Office of Communications More useful projections of sea level are possible…

Another Michael Oppenheimer FAIL – 2010 claim on Mexican 'climate refugees' evaporates once his paper is corrected.
WUWT readers may recall a recent essay titled ‘What global warming really looks like’ – Michael Oppenheimer FAIL where I pointed out the desperate and ridiculous claims by Michael Oppenheimer…
Weak solar convection – approximately 100 times slower than scientists had previously projected
From New York University: Researchers create ‘MRI’ of the sun’s interior motions A team of scientists has created an “MRI” of the Sun’s interior plasma motions, shedding light on how…
Oh noes! Models say that climate change, ENSO, and beach sand heat will kill sea turtles
From the busy BEES at Drexel University, worry that beach sand temperature 40 to 50 centimeters deep will be affected by the global warming air temperature rise of 0.8C over…
The IPCC can't learn from past mistakes – wants more grey literature
You’d think that after the drubbing they got last time around from the InterAcademy council for citing mentions of climate effects in travel brochures, climbing magazines, and the Himalayan glacier’s…
Finally somebody comes right out and says it: climate + world governance is a match made in green heaven
To be effective, a new set of institutions would have to be imbued with heavy-handed, transnational enforcement powers. Skeptics get scoffed at when we say the burdensome regulations that have…
Erratic, extreme, press release puts Princeton climate science in a new light
Must be Durban season. From Princeton University here’s a highly charged press release lapped up by some MSM professional worriers today that uses words like “erratic and extreme” to describe…
Craven Attention: The Sequel
by Steven Mosher In the last episode of “Craven Attention” I recounted some of the things Greg Craven said during a panel discussion after Oppenheimer’s lecture of the role of…
