www.sciencemag.org/content/339/6125/1278.full People need to read this, mad pseudo scientist David Keith, wants to prevent climate change by 'changing the climate'.

www.google.co.uk/.../ Sorry, you do have to pay for the full article, don't pay, the gist of it is that he wants to spray the planet using planes with alumini, barium salts etc., so much for 'conspiracy theory'

"It has only taken days for some serious question marks to be raised about the Marcott hockey stick. McIntyre has posted here about the mystery surrounding the methodology and here about the curious lack of a similar 20th century uptick in Marcott's PhD thesis on which the Science paper appears to have been based. Willis Eschenbach notes that many of the proxies used fail the paper's own criteria for inclusion, David Middleton has raised further questions based on examination of individual proxies. Don Easterbrook has further concerns here.

I was struck by Rob Wilson's comments about the paper a couple of days ago. He had only given it a brief read and alarm bells were already sounding. Rob is an expert in the area, but even for me, the paper did not pass the sniff test.

What does it say about Science that it would publish such a paper?"

What indeed? Is there noone on the editorial staff capable of checking basic facts? Call them what they are, the rubber stamp gang.

Mark my words. Instead of his obvious attempt at fraud ruining this charlatan's career, it will launch it, and secure his place amongst the alarmists for life.

Frauds of a feather scam together.

Why is the graph of CO2 concentration essentially a straight line? It has its annual oscillations (whih I have never had a good explanation for other than it is associated with plant decay) otherwise it is nearly a straight line (or two straight lines.) WHY?

Since Man started making CO2 from burning Coal, oil and other fossil fuel in the 1600′s AND had burnt MORE each and every year since that first time. [Ignoring burning wood for fires as that is essentially lost in the noise level of forest fire burning.] The laws of physics says that if you start filling a very large tank with water and that if each year you add the amount that you added last year plus 25% more, that the level of the water in the tank will NOT, and I repeat NOT, increase at a linear level. PERIOD. It is hyperbolic in nature. Since the 1800′s we have almost doubled the amount of fossil fuel burning each year. That implies the resulting curve should be close to logarithmic in nature (You would need a log scale on the Y axis to get a straight line. WHERE is all of that CO2 going? Shouldn’t we be getting a Log increase? Something is fishy.

This tells me that the INCREASE in CO2 is the result of something much larger in scope than our burning fossil fuel – it is the result of the increased rate of decay of organic material due to the slow LINEAR increase in temperature. This, to me seems so obvious.

Those that do not see this should use their brain.

It,s a good thing that Glo-bull warming has made so much snow for Amerikans to eat. Otherwise they would starve.

Also a good thing that North Korea is supplying poor snow eating Amerikans with blankets, North Korean Koffee and cakes. Or something... :o video.ca.msn.com/watch/video/north-korea-exposes-life-in-the-usa/2j1236nb?from=en-ca-infopane

Armilach, that is amazingly funny but also 'somewhat true' for both some people in USA and also UK.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2294560/The-great-green-1-The-hard-proof-finally-shows-global-warming-forecasts-costing-billions-WRONG-along.html Poor David Bellamy was right all along, being a realist destroyed this man's career. Do we see the IPCC or the BBC hang their heads in shame, don't hold your CO2!

Thankyou Jum, I understood no business in Aus was allowed to publicly blame the carbon tax for any failure or increased costs. It is very sad when you consider all of those people that are now unemployed. It also has an impact on the economy because those unemployed people can no longer afford to buy things, pay for fuel, holidays or basic living costs. It has a knock on effect on the whole economy.
