Weird Winter, Mad March
Posted by coby on April 18, 2012 I have not watched these yet myself, but will do as soon as I download and convert them for my iPhone, but I have no doubt they are up to Peter Sinclair’s usual high standards. Embedded below are part’s 1 and 2 of Weird Winter – Mad March. Enjoy, discuss!
Monckton on the loose again
Posted by coby on June 27, 2011 Non-lord Christopher Monkton is out and about again after laying low for a while, calling people nazis, using his Pink Portcullis coat of arms, etc. Greenman has a short video on that, though I must say I found more interesting the clips and content on James Delingpole. I must say he does not come out…
Disagreeing with the IPCC’s approach
Posted by coby on April 23, 2011 There is a very interesting article on Nature.com that provides an example of something a bit uncommon in the climate wars: an intelligent and well reasoned disagreement with the IPCC. (h/t to Climate Etc.)
Mubarak Resigns: Is there a climate change connection?
Posted by coby on February 11, 2011 The Egyptian dictator, Hosni Mubarak, has resigned, finally relenting to weeks of massive protests. Is he the latest casualty of climate change?

Experts claim 2006 climate report plagiarized
Posted by coby on November 23, 2010 The wheels continue to fall off the Wegman Report. “It kind of undermines the credibility of your work criticizing others’ integrity when you don’t conform to the basic rules of scholarship,” Virginia Tech plagiarism expert Skip Garner says. Further down:
1010.org misses the mark, Denialosphere jumps many sharks
Posted by coby on October 5, 2010 A few days ago, an environmental organization from England released what can charitably be called an appaling video in support of their campaign to reduce carbon emission 10% per year starting now, in 2010. The group is called 10:10 and the page originally containing the video, now containing an apology, is here. It was removed…

This is a very interesting development to say the least.
Great video on Arctic sea ice
Posted by coby on August 24, 2010 Via a new blog started up this summer, Fool me Once (sounds like wishful thinking , proprieter Alden has graciously permitted me to embed a most excellent video he has produced on arctic sea ice. He is covering a standard denialist talking point, that arctic sea ice has/is recovering, so the concepts will not be…
