Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier was born in Paris in 1743. His forebears had done well in the law over several generations and by this time the Lavoisier family was well off. Antoine, who demonstrated great intellectual prowess at an early age, enjoyed the best education that was available in France at that time. LAVOISIER WEBSITE: ARTICLES, CONFERENCE PAPERS AND PDF.

CLIMATE CHANGE: THE DEFENCE OF CO2BY JOHN DROZ, JR
In the Court of Public Opinion Carbon Dioxide (CO2) has already been convicted of being an evil villain. CO2 — more specifically man-made CO2 — has been found guilty of "being the main cause of substantial, unusual, global warming." But its case was appealed, and a new trial has just been ordered! Basically, there were two legal grounds for the appeal: * the arguments against CO2 were circumstantial and/or inaccurate,and
* in the first go-around, CO2 was not allowed to put on an adequatelegal defense.

THE FOUR PILLARS SUPPORTING CLIMATE CHANGE CLAIMSBY JOHN DROZ, JR
One of the most formidable challenges of our times is that we are continually being bombarded with information, advice, propositions, stimuli, etc. In a word, all of us are overwhelmed. In such an environment, it’s a daunting ordeal to keep things in perspective. For example: What is true and what is not? What is important and what is not? So let’s cut to the chase: What is true and important about one of the main issues of our times: Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW)? When we separate the wheat from the chaff, belief in the AGW hypothesis is based on one or more of four pillars …. (read morehere ).
ARE AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRES WORSENING FROM HUMAN-CAUSED CLIMATE CHANGE?BY ROY W. SPENCER
The current claim by many that human-caused climate change has made Australian bushfires worse is difficult to support, for a number of reasons. Bushfires (like wildfires elsewhere in the world) are a natural occurrence wherever there is strong seasonality in precipitation, with vegetation growing during the wet season and then becoming fuel for fire during the dry season.

It is now ten years since a hacked account at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) released over a thousand emails of communication between the UK’s leading climate centre and its equivalent in the US, the Earth Science Research Unit at Pennsylvania State University. The Director of research at the UK organisation, Phil Jones, and his US equivalent Michael Mann, were both the subject of a number of enquiries; Jones retired in 2016 and Mann is still involved in multiple litigation cases which followed publication of these documents. This important anniversary will no doubt not be mentioned by the left-wing press. Full PDF here A LESSON IN FUTILITY: DRAX POWER STATIONBY GRAHAM PINN
The Drax power station opened in Selby, Yorkshire, UK in 1973. It was designed as a coal fired power station using the abundant coal which lay beneath it in the Selby coal fields which were opened in 1967. It produced 3,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity, subsequently expanded to 4,000 MW in 1986, 7% of the country’s electricity and enough to power 6 million homes. Its 6 units burned around 11 million tonnes of coal, producing an estimated 22 million tonnes of CO2, Europe’s largest industrial source. It is one of 7 remaining coal-fired power stations in UK which, between them produce 11,000 MW of electricity.Full PDF here

CONFESSIONS OF A CLIMATE SCIENTIST: THE GLOBAL WARMING HYPOTHESIS IS AN UNPROVEN HYPOTHESIS BY DR MOTOTAKA NAKAMURA "In climate research and modelling, we should recognize that we are dealing with a coupled non-linear chaotic system, _and therefore that the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible_." (Chapter 14, Section 14.2.2.2, IPCC, Third Report, 2001, emphasisadded.)
The temperature forecasting models trying to deal with the intractable complexities of the climate are no better than toys or Mickey Mouse mockeries of the real world. The global surface mean temperature-change data no longer have any scientific value and are nothing more than a propaganda tool to thepublic.

GREENHOUSE DEFINITION IN VIOLATION OF PHYSICAL LAWSBY DR ANTERO OLLILA
The greenhouse (GH) effect is the IPCC's basic concept in global warming. The anthropogenic global warming (AGW) theory is based on the enhanced GH effect caused by GH gases. There have been many comments on net pages that how carbon dioxide having only 400 ppm concentration can warm-up the climate so much as proposed by the IPCC. This story is a piece of simple evidence that it cannot. Full article here...

WINTER MONSOONS BECOME STRONGER DURING GEOMAGNETIC REVERSAL REVEALING THE IMPACT OF COSMIC RAYS ON THE EARTH'S CLIMATE (From _Climate News_ by Alan Moran, August 2019) Japanese researchersadded
to this body of knowledge by demonstrating the effects of cosmic rays on wind and atmospheric particulates in major climatic changes. The graphic (above) is the picture on CO2 according to NASA.
But the increase does not spell doom because there is a weak relationship of CO2 and temperature (a CO2 doubling according toLindzen and Choi
brings only a 0.7°C increase). Moreover, NASA's data splices ice core data with direct measurements, exaggerating recent levels. COSMIC THEORY GATHERING SUPPORT Studies of cosmic rays on cloud formation by Japan’s Kobe University and Finand’s Turku University show that during the last one hundred years temperature increases caused by carbon dioxide were approximately 0.1°C. The human contribution (ie non-natural environmental emissions), "was approximately 0.01°C". In other words, "practically no anthropogenic climate change". The study suggests that a major role in temperature variations is cloud, variations in which the Kobe researchers claim to have demonstrated were influential in previous climate change events.

WHY THE GLOBAL FOSSIL-FUEL PHASE-OUT IS A FANTASY AKIN TO TIME TRAVELBY TERENCE CORCORAN
(_Financial Post_ , 21 June 2019) "Judging from the headlines, Canada and the world are on track to ratchet up renewable energy and begin the rapid scale-down and ultimate phase-out of fossil fuels.

CLIMATE CHANGE
PAUL BUTLER, MAY 2019 The term "Climate Change", as used by environmental activists, is an Orwellian abuse of the language. Climate change is largely a natural phenomenon – day follows night, winter follows summer and long ice age periods follow shorter inter-glacial periods – so who can arguewith it.
The more precise and meaningful title for the activists "climate change" is the cumbersome "Anthropogenic Global Warming Thesis(AGWT)"...

DOES GLOBAL WARMING INCREASE TORNADO ACTIVITY? ALAN MORAN, _CLIMATE NEWS_, JUNE 2019 Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is one among many politicians claiming global warming is causing increased tornado activity. Roy Spencer shows that modest global warming, contrary to activist claims, reduces the number of tornadoes because their formation needs unusually cold air. Evidence supporting this is that tropical cyclones impacting Australia are on a flat or downward trajectory. Read the full story here, as well as

Summer 80 years ago was arguably as hot, if not hotter. Back then more ferocious bushfires burnt larger areas. Yet Australia’s Environment Minister, Melissa Price, recently claimed this summer’s bushfires as a consequence of climate change. I grew up with stories from my late father of terrible bushfires – infernos – back in 1939. The Black Friday bushfires destroyed four times the area of farmland and forest as the devastating February 2009 fires – and twenty times as much as burnt this last summer. Ash from that bushfire fell as far away as New Zealand... Read the full blogpost here.
THE TRUTH ABOUT GREENHOUSE GASESWILLIAM HAPPER
"The object of the Author in the following pages has been to collect the most remarkable instances of those moral epidemics which have been excited, sometimes by one cause and sometimes by another, and to show how easily the masses have been led astray, and how imitative and gregarious men are, even in their infatuations and crimes," wrote Charles Mackay in the preface to the first edition of his _Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds_. I want to discuss a contemporary moral epidemic: the notion that increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, notably carbon dioxide, will have disastrous consequences for mankind and for the planet. This contemporary "climate crusade" has much in common with the medieval crusades Mackay describes, with true believers, opportunists, cynics, money-hungry governments, manipulators of various types, and even children's crusades....

WINDPOWER SET TO DESTROY VICTORIAN BASELOAD POWER—JUST AS IT DID INSOUTH AUSTRALIA
JO NOVA WITH TOM QUIRK Data analysis by Tom Quirk: In the South Australian experiment total wind power capacity is now far above the average state demand most hours of the day. This effectively destroys any economic case for cheap baseload power (I hear that was the aim). This fleet of unreliable generators is being supported by forced subsidies through power bills from all around Australia. Sadly, despite this rain of money falling in SA, those funds end up with renewable investors, not South Australian consumers who pay some of the highest rates in the world. These legislated subsidies have fed so much wind power that sometimes the state produces more power than it can use. That excess power will be exported, but may or may not be actually useful at whatever time it happens. Unless it happens at peak-time, it will be eating into the efficiency of baseload providers in other states. Like an infection, inefficiency and underutilization of infrastructure spreads… This volatility appears to make freak wholesale price spikes more likely. Quirk calculates that one hot January day last year was so wildly expensive in South Australia it added $2/MWh to the entire years average wholesale cost. Can’t beat that for excitement in thetrading room floor.
Victoria is determined to follow South Australia. While it currentlyhas...

TEMPERATURE AND CO2 CONCENTRATIONBEVAN DOCKERY
The analysis of satellite lower troposphere temperature data compared to observatory CO2 concentration data contradicts the IPCC claim that CO2 causes atmospheric warming. Instead, the analysis shows that there is a statistically significant probability that the temperature controls the rate of change of the CO2 concentration. This is supported by the fact that the temperature and the rate of change of CO2 concentration have identical autocorrelation functions and Fourier Transform spectra. These reveal that there is a prominent 42 month cycle for the temperature due to the synodic period of the Sun, Earth, Moon configuration which is expressed in the Earth’s climate as theEl Nino event.

WILL AUSTRALIA MAKE IT TO PARIS 2030?TOM QUIRK
In 2005 Australia emitted 608 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2 – equivalent greenhouse gases. To achieve a 26 to 28% reduction we must cut emissions to an average of 444 Mt. Due to accounting changes to land use and forestry, Australia could claim a fall of 104 Mt of CO2 from 2005 to 2012. The emissions from cutting down trees were no longer to be accounted immediately but could be written off over longer periods of years. A most interesting change was for forest fires to be treated as Acts of God and not counted in national emissions. An external issue is whether God isanthropogenic...

Our concern is that the Society’s position on Climate Change (aka Anthropogenic Global Warming or AGW), is outdated and one-sided, and is distracting attention and funding from real issues of pollution such as plastic and other noxious industrial and domestic waste… Read the full text of the open letter here.
JUNE 2018 ISSUE OF ALAN MORAN'S _CLIMATE NEWS_ NOW AVAILABLE The June edition of Alan Moran’s _Climate News_ deals with the usual mix of the serious and the whimsical. It includes recent serious work on temperature data, the real economics of renewable energy and the precarious position of Professor Peter Ridd. But there are also whacky alarmist stories about Cuba’s environmental prowess, the alleged rise of dengue fever and carbon-credit-backed ice cream. Oh yes! Read the full document here.
DR JENNIFER MAROHASY’S LETTER TO THE CHIEF SCIENTIST ON BOM’S TEMPERATURE DATA (MAY 2018) "In summary, given the intense political interest in climate change with far reaching economic implications, and the relatively recent transition to a very different methods of measuring temperatures (mercury thermometer to electronic probe), it would be assumed that there are dozens of reports published by the Bureau that document how comparable the measurements have proven at different locations, and under different conditions. Yet there are none! Without independent verification, these temperature recordings of the Bureau are open to dispute and the integrity of the Bureau and the Government is degraded."

Record cold in America has brought temperatures as low as minus 44C in North Dakota, frozen sharks in Massachusetts and iguanas falling from trees in Florida. Al Gore blames global warming, citing one scientist to the effect that this is "exactly what we should expect from the climate crisis". Others beg to differ: Kevin Trenberth, of America’s National Centre for Atmospheric Research, insists that "winter storms are a manifestation of winter, not climate change".

HYPOTHESIS UPON HYPOTHESISDr Philip Dawson
Dr Ian Flanigan's article, "The core of climate science is in the real-world data" (_News Weekly_, November 17), rightly mentions data to prove hypotheses, and convincingly shows two graphs to disprove the carbon dioxide raises global temperature hypothesis. There are a couple of problems with this. First, neither graph shows real-world data: each shows interpretations of the data based on numerous assumptions (hypotheses). Continue reading...

2. ”CLIMATE CHANGE: A BETTER UNDERSTANDING” by Payne Kilbourn traces the history of climate science, explains its fundamental flaws, and describes its unfortunate impact: NEW ISSUE OF ALAN MORAN'S _CLIMATE NEWS_ NOW AVAILABLE In late breaking news Michael Mann has been found guilty of contempt of court for refusing to hand over documents he claims to have in his libel action against Tim Ball. Sensationally, a paper by the doyen of the warmistas with Ben Santar as the lead author and the litigious Mann as a co-author finally admits that the climate models they concocted are not trackingreality.
They "conclude that model overestimation of tropospheric warming in the early twenty-first century is partly due to systematic deficiencies in some of the post-2000 external forcings used in the model simulations". Just within the last 5 months, 58 more papers and 80 new graphs have been published that continue to undermine the popularized conception of a dramatic hockey-stick-shaped uptick, or an especially unusual global-scale warming during modern times.

INCONVENIENT TRUTHS SURFACE AMID CLIMATE MODEL DOUBTS _The Australian_, 1 July 2017 With preparations under way for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's next report, a key challenge for scientists remains to explain properly the 20-year slowdown in surface temperature rises and the failure of models to predict it. The so-called pause has been a totemic issue for sceptics, who have earned derision from much of the climate science community since bringing it to global attention. The slowdown or hiatus was mentioned, however, in the IPCC fifth assessment report, and behind the vitriol there has been a lot of work done to provide some answers for the sixth assessment report to be published next year.

BLUEPRINT'S AUTHOR DIDN'T ASK ABOUT THE WEATHER By William Kininmonth, _The Australian_, 12 June 2017 "Blueprint for the Future", Chief Scientist Alan Finkel's report into the future security of the National Electricity Market, claims four key outcomes: increased security, future reliability, rewarding consumers and lower emissions. The central theme is Australia's continuing commitment to the Paris Accord. This commitment requires a cut in greenhouse gas emissions (that is, carbon dioxide) of 26 to 28 per cent on 2005 levels by 2030. Surprisingly, and without policy direction, Finkel extends the target to zero emissions by the second half of the century. Continue reading...
IMPORTANT NEW PAPER: IS THERE A TREND IN GLOBAL AVERAGE TEMPERATURE? By John Reid, 2 May 2017 In recent decades, energy policy, both nationally and internationally, has been primarily concerned with the reduction in carbon emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels. This has arisen from a proliferation of theories of climate, encapsulated in complex numerical models, which purport to relate global surface air temperature to the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. All this activity is based on a single empirical observation, viz. that there has been a significant increase in global average temperature over the last century and a half. In this article we show that this observation is false and is based on an overly simplistic interpretation of the data. Read the article ... US POLITICS AND CLIMATE CHANGE By Alan Moran, _Climate News_, 2 April 2017 The Obama administration's climate strategy fabricated a "Social cost of carbon" value at $36 per ton of CO2 and involved: * tightening vehicle fuel economy standards; * the Clean Power Plan designed to cut, by 2030, carbon dioxide emissions from electric power * generation plants by 30 per cent below their 2005 levels; and a moratorium on federal coal leasing. President Trump's budget proposes a 31 per cent reduction ($2.5 billion) for EPA, eliminating most of the agency's climate change programs, including the regulations to control CO2 emissions from power plants, funding of international climate change programs, climate change research and the Energy Star voluntary certification program for energy-efficient products. The Department of Energy has a $2 billion cut in programs to promote carbon free energy technologies. Continue reading ... CLIMATE WARRIORS TILT AT THE ORTHODOXY By Andrew L.

PAUL MISKELLY AND TOM QUIRK With $90 billion spent on batteries and 4,000 MW of more wind farms, South Australia could be a totally renewable state, at least forelectricity.
Australia along with one or two other states has been described by Al Gore as the canary in the coal mine for climate change and renewable energy. This interesting comparison was rewarded by South Australia putting the canary in the dark as there was no coal. But it would be interesting to see what the electricity supply of South Australia might be like with zero CO2 emissions as is the fond wish of many and even of learned societies. Continue reading... US CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE SHONKY CLIMATE REPORT PETER WESTMORE, _NEWS WEEKLY_ The United States Congress will investigate America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), following revelations by a senior climate scientist that the government agency faked evidence to claim that global temperatures had soared over the past 20 years, contradicting earlier evidence of a 20-year pause. The NOAA report, which was strongly endorsed by the former Obama Administration just before the recent Paris Climate Conference, was used to justify the conference demand for continuing cuts in global carbon dioxide emissions.

As we watch our TV news showing well below freezing temperatures in parts of Europe, even in Greece, and North America, we are also told by official meteorological agencies that 2016 was one of the warmest years on record. For example, in its report on 2016 the Australian Bureau of Meteorology claims that year was _'Australia's fourth-warmest year on record (the national observational dataset commences in 1910), with Australia's area-averaged mean temperature for 2016 being 0.87°C above the 1961-1990 average. It also claims that sea surface temperatures in the oceans around Australia were the warmest on record at 0.73°C above average._ The UK Met Office claims that provisional statistics published by it show 2016 as 13th warmest year in the UK (in the series going back to 1910) and that globally 2016 shares the warmest year with 2015.

Lately, however, since coming "out of the closet as far as global warming is concerned," as Dyson sometimes puts it, there has been noise all around him..." Continue reading ... OBITUARY: PROFESSOR BOB CARTER 1942-2016 It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Professor Bob Carter, who died in Townsville on Tuesday 19 January 2016 following a heart attack. The following tribute was written by Dr Jennifer Marohasy , who was a friend andcolleague of Bob's.
"WE SHOULD PREPARE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE" OUTSPOKEN critic of catastrophic global warming theory, Bob Carter, died in Townsville on Tuesday. Professor Carter did not like the term sceptic, he considered himself a rationalist, and popular usage of the term 'climate change' a tautology. As he wrote frequently: the geological record tells us that climate always changes. In Professor Carter's passing we have lost a person who believed in value-free science. When he was still directing the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, Professor Carter spent an evening with me at his home in Townsville poring over a single chart that was a proxy record of New Zealand's climate over the last several thousand years. The time series data had been printed out on a long and continuous roll of paper: longer than the kitchen table so the end of the chart, that portion representing the present, was often dangling somewhere nearthe floor.
Professor Carter was always more interested in periods of dramatic climate change, particularly the Younger Dryas. The Younger Dryas occurred about 14,500 years ago, with an article in the Journal of Geophysical Research suggesting Greenland’s temperature rose 10° C (18° F) in a decade. Professor Carter was reluctant to endorse such a dramatic temperature increase, but always emphasized that relative to geological history, late 20th century rates of warming of less than 2° C per century, are not unusual. Professor Carter was a real expert on climate change. He was director of the Australian Office of the Ocean Drilling Program which was an international cooperative effort to collect deep sea cores. From these cores past climates for specific regions have been reconstructed. We both presented to the Coalition Environment Committee at Parliament House on 20th October last year. Professor Carter eloquently explained, with examples, how modern temperatures are not unusually warm; that current carbon dioxide levels are low relative to geological time; that as industrial emissions are added to the atmosphere, the less the "greenhouse" warming effect of each increment of carbon dioxide. Therefore, the professor concluded, "dangerous warming of this causation will not occur." Furthermore, Professor Carter added: the addition of 50 ppm of CO2 for 1981-2010 has fertilized an 11 percent increase in plant cover. Thus CO2 is both a strong environmental (greening the planet) and agrarian (crop yield increases) benefit. In this presentation, the Professor also emphasized the importance of the scientific method. "To the extent that it is possible for any human endeavor to be so, science is value-free. Science is a way of attempting to understand the world in which live from a rational point of view, based on observation, experiment and tested theory. Irritatingly, especially for governments, science does not operate by consensus and it is often best progressed by mavericks. The alternative to a scientific approach is one based on superstition, phobia, religion or politics." So, wrote Bob Carter in an article entitled 'Science is not Consensus', published by the Institute of Public Affairs in December 2003. In the preface to his first book 'Climate: The Counter Consensus' Bob encouraged us to all to "trust authority less and our own brains more" as we assess the likely dangers of both known natural and hypothetical human-caused global climate change. Chapter 11 of this book outlined the real and present dangers posed by natural climate change. We are reminded of 1816, known as 'the year without a summer' for its intense cold associated with both the Dalton solar minimum and a super-eruption of the Indonesian volcano Tambora. Professor Carter understood that such events were often associated with extreme hardship and famine, and that, to the extent possible, nations should use their resources to mitigate against such catastrophe. In particular, Professor Carter advocated what he referred to as Plan B: that future climate hazards, both natural and possibly human-caused, be assessed in terms of risk that vary in type and intensity from geographic place to place. "Nobody," the Professor would joke, "lives in a world climate". Putting in place policies and plans to mitigate the dangers and vagaries of natural climate change must occur on a regional basis. Putting in place policies and plan to prepare for natural climate change, would, Professor Carter argued, make us ready for human-caused climate change, should it ever become manifest. Even with generous funding for the implementation of national hazard warning and disaster relief schemes, Bob concluded his book with comment that this would cost orders of magnitude less than those associated with the introduction of unnecessary and ineffectual emissions trading schemes. ------------------------- Other tributes and notices for Professor Carter may be found atJoNova's website

By Don Benjamin, December 2015 The public are being deprived of important information necessary for them to make decisions, including decisions that could affect their survival, because of information unwittingly withheld by the media. The problem arises out of the fact that in several important controversial areas the majority of scientific experts hold a belief that is contrary to the latest scientific evidence. Because those in the media have concluded that the majority of medical or scientific experts must be correct, they have decided not to air viewpoints that conflict with those of the consensus of experts. This avoids the criticism by those with vested interests that people might be given wrong information that might put them at risk. The controversial health areas include cancer, cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS, genetics and global warming. Full PDF of Article... WHY SCIENTISTS DISAGREE ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING By Craig Idso, Robert M. Carter, S. Fred Singer, 23 November 2015, at _The Heartland Institute_ Summary: "The most important fact about climate science, often overlooked, is that scientists disagree about the environmental impacts of the combustion of fossil fuels on the global climate. There is no survey or study showing "consensus" on the most important scientific issues, despite frequent claims by advocates to thecontrary.
Scientists disagree about the causes and consequences of climate for several reasons. Climate is an interdisciplinary subject requiring insights from many fields. Very few scholars have mastery of more than one or two of these disciplines." Continue reading summary and for link to full PDF of Policy Paper...

"MASSIVELY ALTERED" ... GERMAN PROFESSOR EXAMINES NASA GISS TEMPERATURE DATASETS By Pierre Gosselin, 20 November 2015, on NoTricksZone Veteran journalist Gunter Ederer has written a piece reporting that massive alterations have been found in the NASA GISS temperature data series, citing a comprehensive analysis conducted by a leading German scientist. These results are now available to the public. Ederer reports not long ago retired geologist and data computation expert Professor Dr. Friedrich Karl Ewert began looking at the data behind the global warming claims, and especially the datasets of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS). Ewert painstakingly examined and tabulated the reams of archived data from 1153 stations that go back to 1881 -- which NASA has publicly available -- data that the UN IPCC uses to base its conclusion that man is heating the Earth's atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels. According to Ederer, what Professor Ewert found is "unbelievable". Read more...

COMMENT
Peter Mervyn commenting on "French weatherman Philippe Verdier sacked for being a climate sceptic" in _The Australian_, 2 November 2015: "The only true, accurate and reliable global temperature data sets are the two satellite temperature data sets. Virtually every cubic inch of the atmosphere is scanned by these NASA satellites. The data is validated by weather balloon radiosonde temperature data. In the last 18 years and 8 months, there is no doubting that the atmospheric CO2 concentration has risen for whatever reasons. Yet the satellite temperature data show there has not been any global warming over that same period. So what we have is an extensive data set kept by the University of Alabama, Huntsville and the one kept by Remote Sensing Systems, both confirming the same thing ... the data represents actual measurements, being first-class real world observational data ... and the data shows no discernible global warming over the last 18 years and 8 months. That demonstrates that the climate models get an "F" for fail. It also shows that the pseudoscience behind the IPCC's supposition, and the supposition itself, that CO2 emitted by human activity is causing catastrophic global warming and is the key driver of climate change are absolute rubbish!" CUTTING EMISSIONS BEYOND PARIS By Alan Moran on 22 October 2015 in _Australian Financial Review_ Since the Turnbull Prime Ministership, Environment Minister Greg Hunt has used somewhat tougher language in selling the government's intent to force a reduction in Australia's greenhouse gas emissions. No longer do we have Tony Abbott's prospective axing of the renewable scheme with its $2.5 billion a year cost to consumers and the closure of the $10 billion Clean Energy Development Corporation. Instead we have assurances that the renewable requirement will never be reduced and a stressing of $1.8 million fines for companies that breech their baseline requirements. Read more...

BRIEFING NOTE: ENVIRONMENTAL POLICYDES MOORE
Having announced a target for reducing emissions by 26 per cent by 2030, is it feasible for the Abbott government to publish a critique of the reductions approach being adopted by some countries? As it appears that the Paris talks will involve a "pledge and review" that will be highly unlikely to involve legally binding commitments by (at least) major developing countries, there would seem no reason to forego publishing a critical review and to indicate that Australia will not adopt policies that would reduce potential economic growth (now acknowledged by the one-eyed Climate Change Authority under former Treasury Head Bernie Fraser) until major emitters have all agreed to substantive reductions.

IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC PAPER "THE POTENCY OF CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) AS A GREENHOUSE GAS" ANTERO OLLILA, ADJUNCT ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, AALTO UNIVERSITY, FINLANDABSTRACT
According to this study the commonly applied radiative forcing (RF) value of 3.7 Wm-2 for CO2 concentration of 560 ppm includes water feedback. The same value without water feedback is 2.16 Wm-2 which is 41.6 % smaller. Spectral analyses show that the contribution of CO2 in the greenhouse (GH) phenomenon is about 11 % and water's strength in the present climate in comparison to CO2 is 15.2. The author has analyzed the value of the climate sensitivity (CS) and the climate sensitivity parameter using three different calculation bases. These methods include energy balance calculations, infrared radiation absorption in the atmosphere, and the changes in outgoing longwave radiation at the top of the atmosphere. According to the analyzed results, the equilibrium CS (ECS) is at maximum 0.6 °C and the best estimate of climate sensitivity is 0.268 K/(Wm-2) without any feedback mechanisms. The latest warming scenarios of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for different CO2 concentrations until the year 2100 include the same feedbacks as the 2011 warming i.e. only water feedback. The ECS value of 3.0 °C would mean that other feedback mechanisms should be stronger than water feedback. So far there is no evidence about these mechanisms, even though 40 % of the change from 280 ppm to 560 ppm has already happened. The relative humidity trends since 1948 show descending development which gives no basis for using positive water feedback in any warming calculations. Cloudiness changes could explain the recent stagnation in globalwarming.

------------------------- FORMER GREENPEACE CO-FOUNDER TO VIST AUSTRALIADES MOORE
_Greenpeace Co-Founder Dr Patrick Moore was director of Greenpeace International for seven years, when it became the world's largest environmental activist organisation. Moore left Greenpeace in 1986. He is currently touring Australia discussing the global warming scare._ The UN Climate Summit has been forgotten but we still seem to be trying to discover how long is a piece of string. While an article since in prominent science journal Nature acknowledges the "barely risen" (as it puts it) temperature over 16 years makes tenuous the aim to try to limit temperature increases to the IPCC's 2C, the authors suggest the increased energy generated by humans lies buried in the oceans and is stoking sea level rises. Yet the rate of such rises poses no serious threat to humans. Another recent report says the Presidents of the US and India have agreed to scale back the chemical refrigerants (HFCs) used in air conditioners and home appliances because they may be trapping the sun's heat in the atmosphere. Yet with no apparent effect on temperatures. Of course, the US Administration recently claimed that global warming is a bigger threat to mankind than Islamic State. More sensibly, former head of the National Climate Centre, William Kininmonth, argued in his letter in The Australian that queries about the temperature data published by the Bureau of Meteorology should be examined not on their own but as part of a full and open scrutiny of the scientific methodology used. Indeed, the stage has surely been reached in the climate change string where a thorough explanation needs to be provided to a confused public of the justification for governments continuing to spend taxpayers money on policies designed to reduce temperatures which are already stagnant. Desirably, such an explanation should be made before any decision on continuing the enormous subsidies for renewable energy. Former co-founder of Greenpeace, Canadian PATRICK MOORE, is due shortly in Australia to explain why he is a convert and now accepts the growing sceptical view of the dangerous warming thesis. He is even trying to obtain access to Abbott to explain why he should become a full sceptic. Moore (no relation) is a much sought after speaker overseas and, thanks to the sponsorship by Case Smit (who brought Monckton to Australia) will be making presentations from 20 October. ------------------------- IT'S OFFICIAL: NO GLOBAL WARMING FOR 18 YEARS 1 MONTH CHRISTOPHER MONCKTON OF BRENCHLEY The RSS monthly satellite global temperature anomaly for September 2014 is in, and the Great Pause is now two months longer than it was last month. Would this year's el Niño bite soon enough to stop the psychologically-significant 18-year threshold from being crossed? The official answer is No. Globally, September was scarcely warmer than August, which was itself some distance below the 18-year trend-line. Therefore, taking the least-squares linear-regression trend on the RSS satellite monthly global mean surface temperature anomalies, there has now been no global warming for 18 years 1 month. Dr Benny Peiser, our good friend at the Global Warming Policy Foundation in the UK, had anticipated the official crossing of the 18-year threshold by a day or two with an interesting note circulated to supporters on the ever-lengthening period without any global warming, and featuring our 17-years-11-months graph from last month. The Great Pause is the longest continuous period without any warming in the global instrumental temperature record since the satellites first watched in 1979. It has endured for a little over half the satellite temperature record. Yet the Pause coincides with a continuing, rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration.Full report is here

_"Global warming orthodoxy is not merely irrational. It is wicked."_ There is something odd about the global warming debate - or the climate change debate, as we are now expected to call it, since global warming has for the time being come to a halt. I have never shied away from controversy, nor - for example, as Chancellor - worried about being unpopular if I believed that what I was saying and doing was in the public interest. But I have never in my life experienced the extremes of personal hostility, vituperation and vilification which I - along with other dissenters, of course - have received for my views on global warming and global warming policies.

We are all aware of the climate enthusiasts, who advocate quite substantial, and costly, responses to what they see as irrefutable evidence that the world's climate faces catastrophe. By employing a sanctimonious tone against people who do not share their view, they show their true colours: to them the cause has become a substitute religion. Increasingly offensive language is used. The most egregious example has been the term "denier". We are all aware of the particular meaning that word has acquired in contemporary parlance. It has been employed in this debate with some malice aforethought. An overriding feature of the debate is the constant attempt to intimidate policy makers, in some cases successfully, with the mantras of "follow the science" and "the science is truly settled". The purpose is to create the impression that there is really no room for argument; this is not really a public policy issue; it is one on which the experts have spoken, and we would all be quite daft to do other than follow the prescriptions, it is asserted, which flow automatically from the scientific findings.

19 OCTOBER 2013
"Various commentators are telling us we must have a "price on carbon". One presumes they mean that we need to levy a tax on emissions of carbon dioxide, which is not quite the same thing. Currently NSW is suffering from the worst bushfires for a decade. These bushfires are emitting many megatonnes of CO2, arguably equivalent to Australia's annual emissions of anthropogenic CO2. Does the atmospheric CO2 from bushfires play a different climate control role to mankind's emissions? If not, then who is to pay the tax on them? This on-going "carbon" lunacy becomes increasingly difficult to challenge, since the language and the slogans used by the Warmists have no connection withthe real world."

------------------------- IPCC AT A CROSSROAD WITH FIFTH CLIMATE CHANGE REPORT BY WILLIAM KININMONTH25 SEPTEMBER 2013
The meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in Stockholm this week is arguably the most important in its 25-year history. The meeting is to finalise the fifth IPCC assessment report, the UN's formal advice to governments. Since the release of the fourth report in 2007, the IPCC finds itself battling to retain credibility as a source of independent advice togovernments.
Parliamentary and semi-judicial inquiries were held in Britain following unintended public access to email exchanges held by the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia. The emails involved scientists and others associated with the IPCC process. No wrong-doing was attributed to the scientists but questions of probity and bias were left unanswered.

_IS THE WESTERN CLIMATE ESTABLISHMENT CORRUPT?_BY DR DAVID EVANS
"How
many excuses does it take? The Western Climate Establishment has allowed egregious mistakes, major errors, and obvious biases to accumulate - each factor on its own might be hard to pin down, but the pattern is undeniable."

_THE CLIMATEGATE EMAILS _ EDITED AND ANNOTATED BY JOHN COSTELLAIn
November 2009, an anonymous whistleblower put just over 1000 emails comprising email traffic to and from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) on an obscure Russian website. They were subsequently rapidly disseminated around the world. These emails show a tightly knit cabal of scientists adjusting temperature data to conform to their political agenda; exerting pressure to censor publications going into the "peer reviewed" literature (usually with complete success); bullying journalists with threats of excommunication so that what was published in the mainstream media was in accordance with the global warming agenda; and using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as the primary vehicle for their political ambitions. To work through these emails, in order to discover what was going on, is a major undertaking. John Costella has provided us with an edited and annotated account of the emails which enables the lay person, in a relatively short time, to understand what was going on and how it wasdone.
This PDF version of the published book will provide access to everyone who is concerned with this great debate. It is available here.
