Marcott et al recant the blade of their Hockey stick This is a huge change, in that previously, when warmists lied, and got caught doing so, every scientific institution, every science journal, every prestigious academy, and every organized group of scientists would piously swear holy fealty to the lie. Now, instead, they quietly twist the liar’s arms behind closed doors.Â

Soft Power
Modern leftism is a plot by some white males to use women and non whites to destroy other white males. Obama is president, but he does not know what some white male has written on his teleprompter until he reads it. Spandrell complains about a Chinese billionairess piously saying the the politically correct things about democracy.
Warmist day of reckoning
No global warming for the past fourteen years. What is wrong with models that predict anthropogenic global warming The undead hockey stick
What the DenialGate fake reveals about warmists
Peter Gleik phished some genuine files from the Heartland Institute. The files revealed what everyone knows, what no one has ever denied, and what the Heartland Institute has frequently announced: That the Heartland Institute is funding science that is skeptical of global warming, though its funding is ludicrously tiny, while Peter Gleik received half a million dollars to attack skeptics and help the warming cause. He then created what he probably considered to be a truthful summary of these files …
Climategate 1 and 2
Climategate 1 is self summarized by the famous line: Mike’s Nature trick  … to hide the decline. Climategate 2 is self summarized by the theme: ‘ help the cause
Next climategate installment.

The cause of the decline
Lately there as been a lot of concern about the increasingly visible decline of the west, notably Peter Thiel on “The End of the Futureâ€:
“Arctic ice hits near record lowâ€
“Arctic ice hits near record low, Threatening Wildlife†Since we have been observing the total ice area for thirty years, on average, assuming that there is no long term warming trend, arctic ice will hit a near record low one year out of ten. But, of course, there are two poles, so in one year out of five either arctic or antarctic ice will hit a near record low. And of course, there is also the rest of the world …
Anthropogenic CO2
A replication of part of Clive Best’s analysis. The theory of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming assumes a number of points without evidence, assumptions that might well be true, but which they have made no attempt to test. One is that warming would be a bad thing, another is that the world is very sensitive to quite small CO2 greenhouse effect, supposedly because the CO2 greenhouse effect will be enormously amplified by the H2O green house effect. And another is that …
Hide the decline, part umpteen
Stephan and Rachit cored lots of trees, to estimate weather in past years. In a cold climate, near the tree line, a tree will generally grow more if the weather is warm than if it is cold, though lots of other things affect it too. Still, if you check lots of trees over a wide area of very cold land, other factors will probably average out, and the rate of growth,the width of the tree rings, will largely indicate temperature. …
