since the world is supposedly warming, we need regular announcements that the northwest passage is opening.
Eureferendum provides a nice fisking of the latest report of the northwest passage opening

Faking global warming
I have often mentioned before that the those impressive graphs of rising surface temperatures are faked, as if everyone knew, and everyone agreed, inadvertently imitating the mock consensus style of the warmists, without giving a citation. Here is the article that exposed the fakery for the US weather stations The method is simple: The raw and adjusted data is available from the United States Historical Climatology Network Monthly Temperature and …
Global warming swindle.
Every so often you see these graphs supposedly showing how the world has warmed during the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries, supposedly based on surface temperatures. Steve McIntyre is launching a freedom of information request to find out what, if anything, these graphs are based on, and, of course, they are refusing.
Dr Lindzen on “corrected†data
Dr. Richard Lindzen on “corrected†climate data. it has become standard in climate science that data in contradiction to alarmism is inevitably ‘corrected’ to bring it closer to alarming models. None of us would argue that this data is perfect, and the corrections are often plausible. What is implausible is that the ‘corrections’ should always bring the data closer to models.
Obama plans massive permanent reduction in US standard of living
Under current USA nuclear regulations, you cannot launch any new nuclear projects unless the waste is going to go to a federally approved repository, and Obama has announced there is not going to be a federally approved repository. Hence no new nuclear projects. Obama has also announced that carbon emissions are going to be reduced sometime soon, though not yet. If less carbon, then less coal and oil. If no …
Plain speaking on warmist “scienceâ€
Hansen’s former supervisor tells us plainly what Climate Audit has been telling us politely The models do not realistically simulate the climate system because there are many very important sub-grid scale processes that the models either replicate poorly or completely omit. Furthermore, some scientists have manipulated the observed data to justify their model results. In doing so, they neither explain what they have modified in the observations, nor explain how …
No warming trend in raw surface temperature data
You have all seen those GISS graphs of global warming. Anthony Watt checked the raw data on which they are based. The cooked data shows warming, the raw data shows cooling. Of course this does not mean the data is necessarily fraudulent – but the adjustments are largely guesswork, so when they compile these graphs, they are merely guessing that the earth has warmed.
The Hockey Stick Graph
Bishop Hill explains the Hockey Stick Graph. It is an exceedingly long and complicated story, even in his simplified version, but the short of it is:Â The global warmerists lied.
US Chamber of commerce protests junk science
The second national climate assessment predicts that the United States will “very likely†experience rising sea levels and increasing droughts, heat waves, intense storms and resulting illness and premature death over the next century as climate change intensifies. But, as is the usual practice with climate “science†, the report fails to make available the evidence that supposedly leads to this conclusion, a gross and flagrant violation of normal and …
Global warming is not science
Science is based on experiment and evidence. The motto of the royal society was “Nullius in verbaâ€, which means “Take no one’s word for itâ€. This motto was reinterpreted to accommodate the “evidence†for global warming. Most science journals have condition of publication that authors must comply with any reasonable request by other researchers for materials, methods, or data necessary to verify the conclusion of the article, which condition has …
