Finding information on the global warming scam that is both interesting and accessible.

International Conference on Climate Change

This last week marked the third holding of the annual International Conference on Climate Change, where climate realists from around the globe meet to gnash their teeth over the climate “debate,” which really isn’t a debate any more since the slack-jawed media have shacked up with the change movement.

Media coverage of the event, needless to say, was essentially non-existent, but you can start your reading at PilotOnline.com with the article Global warming? Not so fast, skeptics say at meeting. The meeting was also covered, to a greater or lesser degree, by the following:

SmallGovTimes.com, Weather malarkey – full of hot air:  Begins with a notice of the conference and of the paper it released and then goes on to describe some of the major problems with the science behind global warming.

The Washington Times, CITIZEN JOURNALISM: ‘Realists’ challenge claim of consensus on warming: A brief look at the conference and mention of the 800 page report released to counter the IPCC.

American Thinker, ICCC Three Brings Climate Reality To Washington DC: Using the conference as a launching pad, American Thinker then offers a large and well-written synopsis of much of the climate and sociological debate, including the push for political action coming from the alarmists camp.

Current Temperature Trends

Meanwhile, May satellite readings showed a significant decline, yet again, ( h/t to Roy Spencer) in atmospheric temperatures, showing only an anomaly of plus .043 deg. C.  If you are having a difficult time picturing how plus .043 is a downward trend, here’s a chart I made for you with May temperatures from this century:

This is from a single month and only from 2001 on, but this chart actually mirrors the overall trend of the 21st century. Satellite data is only available since 1979, without herculean modeling efforts, and only shows a minimal overall increase. In fact, about one more year of the current trend, and I firmly believe that, by the most accurate methods we have available to us today, the overall trend since 1979 will be slightly downward. More on that to come later.

Meanwhile, the climate fantasyland is predicting the hottest decade on record, which is neatly sliced apart at IceCap with Romm’s Fairy Tales.

From the Blogroll

Slim pickings from the blogroll on AGW last week, but Cheat Seeking Missiles did a good write-up on The Latest Sea Level Hysteria.

From A Conservative Kid, we get two related posts, How will Cap And Trade affect all of us and what will it cost? and What does “Green” have to do with the automakers?

AND THE GRAND CHAMPION WINNER!

From Stop the ACLU, we learn of a liberal policy blog that calls for jailing or executing global warming deniers:  A “Progressive” forgets that his hate must be camouflaged
