So I’m back from Fiji, actually for over a week now, and while I could get internet there but chose not to, I have yet to get internet here in our new home in Vancouver. Bloody Telus. I

July 17, 1955, was the first time electricity generated by a U.S. nuclear power plant flowed into a utility grid. In what then was an experiment, Utah Power & Light plugged in the Argonne

The environment commissioner called on the European Union to pledge to cut emissions by 30 percent from 1990 levels to demonstrate leadership ahead of a landmark meeting in Copenhagen.
It’s hard to forget that. Isn’t that the whole problem in a nutshell? mt
From Andrew Bolt, my “mate” down under at the Herald Sun, comes this surprise. I’ll have to say, it is to George Monbiot’s credit to do this. I embrace his first statement,

Biogeochemistry and geology and geophysics scientists have returned from Arctic expedition exploring methane hydrate deposits in the Beaufort Sea and spatial variation of sediment contribution to
New research demonstrates associations between local rainfall and temperature and cases of dengue fever.
There is no upside, since Moron-o has already provided an existence proof that in SwiftBoating, no amount of mud is too much.
The Powerline blog has done an excellent job of summarizing the issues surrounding the Climatgate/CRUtape Letters in the past couple of days. Since they reference WUWT in the most recent article,

Just an FYI — non-climate colleagues of mine — that is, political people — are basically convinced from reading the NYT and WaPo etc. that there are tons of damning emails,
I’m sorry. I understand Simon’s plea to leave it alone, but I find the side effects of this teapot tempest endlessly fascinating. I think the main impact is on the small but
Yup, this is increasingly what I’m finding. There are some potentially unsavoury emails in there but most of the comments on my blog have been picking at pretty innocuous stuff (and I
So who got the files. There is a bunch of interesting stuff to speculate about, first Dr. Gavin Schmidt left this on SurReal Climate: There seems to be some doubt about the timeline of events that

Australian power generators have threatened legal action if the government does not dramatically increase the level of compensation in its proposed carbon emissions trading scheme

Yeah, that email is pretty, uh, something…. Perhaps there should be a new category for what someone thinks is a smoking gun and others a red herring – "smoked herring".
Marc "Swiftboat" Morano picked one email to include in his email blast to all and sundry, but I don’t think he’s got much of a clue what he’s actually finding here:
Scientists have developed a new modeling methodology for determining the capacity and assessing the risks of leakage of potential underground carbon-dioxide reservoirs.
Away from Climategate and back to science, here’s something interesting fingering land use as an issue. This is from the Max Planck Society. A new calculation of Europe’s greenhouse gas
Gavin Schmidt states categorically that the FOIA.zip was uploaded to RC around 6.20 am Eastern and that 4 downloads took place prior to RC regaining control of their blog. He also observes that

Tough article by WSJ here. They conclude: However, we do now have hundreds of emails that give every appearance of testifying to concerted and coordinated efforts by leading climatologists to fit
