Volcanos may be countering greenhouse warming
Posted by coby on March 8, 2013 
(image info and credits) Fake skeptics of anthropogenic global warming love to set up the straw man that mainstream climate science believes that CO2 is the one and only driver of climate change. They can then use it in many different attacks, such as gee whiz isn’t it stupid that they haven’t even thought of…
“Cyclists Do Not Emit More Carbon Than Cars, State Legislator Admits”
Posted by coby on March 8, 2013 Headline of the week from NPR. It is worth noting that even if the Republican representative has now apologized for his remarks and admitted they were stupid either because he realizes it or because he has to, he has not changed his position on a special tax on bicycles.

Catching the pearls
Posted by coby on November 18, 2012 I don’t myself visit Watts’ blog unless someone points to something particularly funny or egregious, and the comment threads are so long and monotonous it is even rarer that I go there. That said, I am always grateful to others who have occasion to do that hard work and who come back out to highlight…
The other Beck
Posted by coby on January 13, 2011 Over on the history of CO2 thread, that old chestnut of an issue has been raised, namely that there’s this one paper in one journal, notorious for publishing anti-science papers on climate (a field well outside its focus), that has shown wild flucuations in CO2 to levels well above today’s in times as recent as…

Climate Sensitivity: not so much?
Posted by coby on December 17, 2010 A recent model study of some hypothetical effects of biological feedbacks of climate sensitivity to doubled CO2 came into the comments here. The paper was referenced in an article on the Register and is being misused as a revelation that the world is not going to warm so much after all. mandas had a good…
Global and Seasonal thread summary and continuation
Posted by coby on December 3, 2010 Okay, the “Globally and Seasonally averaged” thread has grown to over 500 comments and thus reached its point of diminishing return in terms of the time it would take to read it and the utility of doing so. And while on the one hand I don’t like to feed what is drifting towards to troll-like…
CCW – Blast from the Past
Posted by coby on November 9, 2010 Another good video from greenman: It is very discouragin to hear a 60 year old science program explaning exactly the same basics of climate change that Inhofe and half the new republican congress claim today is an IPCC hoax.
