Solar power is all the rage at the moment, we had a look at some quotes and found it is not as good a deal as it looks. - Climate Change killed my cat..

It seems Phil Jones thinks its perfectly normal to do research and publish said research whilst withholding data. - Yet another Climate Change department?
Seems the AU government are busy producing yet more Co2 via civil servants for climate change. - Act on Co2 - the advert..
Ofcom in the UK is investigating a climate change advert which really takes things too far. - Met Office proposes to make Data Set Verifiable
The UK Met Office want to put in place a collation of station data that is publicly accessible. - Cover-More, you drink and its cover-less..

Given that bush fires cause a lot of destruction and environmental damage, can we manage them and be green at the same time? - Is the Australian Stimulus package green enough?
- Heatwave Hysteria Strikes Again
It’s not wholly accidental, nor even deliberate, that the weather stations the Met Office uses to underscore its climate change narrative are frequently located at airports... - No Climate Mayday in Madras: Reconsidering Doomsday Narratives
The fact that Chennai’s highest recorded temperature occurred in 1892, long before the era of modern industrialization and urbanization, is a powerful reminder that extreme weather events are not a recent phenomenon... - Climate Central’s Urban Rainfall Claims Are All Wet
This kind of shoddy research for media consumption undermines public trust in climate science. CC claims to be an authority, yet their work shows a consistent pattern: cherry-pick data, ignore contradictory evidence, and blame everything on humans using... - Sorry, ABC News, Early Cherry Blossom Bloom Is Due to Urban Heat Island, Not Climate Change
ABC News ignores the research and data which strongly suggests that the UHI is wholly responsible for earlier spring peak cherry blossom blooms, due to fewer late season frosts and warmer average nighttime temperatures... - Gosh, Really? NASA data reveals role of green spaces in cooling cities
Cities in the Global South tend to have less green space than cities in the Global North. This mirrors studies of the disparities within cities, sometimes referred to as the “luxury effect”: wealthier neighborhoods tend to have more green space than... - Climate Change Weekly #495: New Research Further Demonstrates Problems with Surface Temperature Records and Models
And does Michael Mann really have a strong case for defamation? He himself frequently spreads false and malicious rumors about colleagues who challenged his science... - Major Climate Alarmist Fail: “The Hottest Summer Ever” that Never Was
The failure of climate alarmists to use NOAA summer maximum temperature measurements and instead rely on temperature anomaly related analysis using summer average temperatures in making flawed “hottest summer ever” claims is a major error. - Climate Change Weekly #454: Economic Realities Dash Biden’s Offshore Wind Plans
President Joe Biden’s plans for a offshore industrial wind facilities lining the nation’s coasts have more than a few hurdles to clear before they can become reality. - More surfacestations project vindication: Strong UHI temperature biases confirmed in USA
