26th Jul 2010 > An icy retreat
Guest Commentary by Dirk Notz, MPI Hamburg
It’s almost routine by now: Every summer, many of those interested in climate change check again and again the latest data on sea-ice evolution in the Arctic. Such data are for example available on a daily basis from the US National Snow and Ice Data Center. And again and [...]
22nd Jul 2010 > The Montford Delusion
Guest commentary by Tamino
If you don’t know much about climate science, or about the details of the controversy over the “hockey stick,” then A. W. Montford’s book The Hockey Stick Illusion: Climategate and the Corruption of Science might persuade you that not only the hockey stick, but all of modern climate science, is a fraud [...]

Muir-Russell report, climategate, climate science emails and the exoneration of the Phil Jones and the other scientists at CRU.
5th Jul 2010 > A simple recipe for GHE
According to some recent reports (e.g. PlanetArk; The Guardian), the public concern about global warming may be declining. It’s not clear whether this is actually true: a poll conducted by researchers at Stanford suggests otherwise. In any case, the science behind climate change has not changed (also see America’s Climate Choices), but there [...]

Conclusion of the Investigatory Committee as to whether research misconduct occurred:

29th Jun 2010 > The uncertainty prayer
Seen at a meeting yesterday:
Grant us…
The ability to reduce the uncertainties we can;
The willingness to work with the uncertainties we cannot;
And the scientific knowledge to know the difference.
(Drawn from a white paper on the use of climate models for water managers).
Discuss.
