They must be putting something in the water down in Exeter, Devon, where the UK Met Office is located, as scare stories are flying out of there by the dozen. The latest contains all the usual apocalyptic ingredients, as reported lovingly and unquestioningly in The Telegraph:
Heatwaves that kill thousands, tropical-style storms and widespread flooding could

And about time too. The government is plunging us headfirst into an emissions trading scheme, yet we rely almost entirely on coal and gas for electricity generation (if you discount a bit of hydro and a token solar panel and wind farm here and there). The US, UK, France and many other developed economies, on

The CSIRO is supposed to be the nation’s top scientific body, but it is up to its neck in the grubby politics of climate change by attempting to silence a critic of the government’s oh-so-wonderful ETS:
THE nation’s peak science agency has tried to gag the publication of a paper by one of its senior environmental

See, the science is settled, you denier you. Just like a handful of trees in Siberia created the Hockey Stick, now we have a bunch of sediment cores in the middle of Canada cherry-picked to show that the Medieval Warm Period didn't exist, the Roman Warm Period didn't exist, the Holocene climate optimum didn't exist, it's warmer now than in the last 200 gazillion years, ...

The Kyoto Protocol, an icon of the global environmental movement, is soon to be replaced by a more radical international accord to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

This is Penny Wong's brilliant idea to get agreement at Copenhagen. Again, living in a kind of fantasy world, where she really believes that the whole world will take notice of the proposals of a country that contributes 1.5% of global emissions. I'm sure the world will listen politely, like one does to a demented great aunt, say "That's nice dear" and then get back ...

Actually it's not just fiction, but outright . Writing in the Fairfax press this morning, where else, Jose Manuel Barroso clearly hasn't been looking out of the window for the last 10 years:
CLIMATE change is happening faster than we believed only two years ago. Continuing with business as usual almost certainly means dangerous, perhaps catastrophic, climate change during the course of this century. This ...

South Carolina lawmakers headed to Washington on Wednesday to defend the state’s use of coal-fired power plants. Two-thirds of South Carolina’s power comes from coal plants, although 50% of the energy produced is from nuclear sources, with at least 20% of that going out of state. South Carolina wants to avert a federal crackdown on greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants, as ...

Both the Met Office’s Hadley Center and NASA show no rise in the planet’s temperature since 1998, even as carbon dioxide emissions continue to be pumped into the atmosphere. Satellite evidence shows expanding ice caps. And questions emerged about the validity of global warming during the 2008 Poland conference on climate change. With the sun displaying few spots on its surface as ...
