Jos Hagelaars has spliced together Shakun et al, Marcott et al, HadCRUT4 and the A1B scenario Hogelaars points out that Marcott pretty much agrees with previous work where there is overlap and it is indeed a wonder how many posts that Willard Tony’s gang is generating on this.  As for climate audit, well in Jos’ words the “statistical wonderboy McIntyre blogs merrily along. The reader would otherwise come to the conclusion that humans strongly influencing the climate, and of course that is not exactly desirable.” An important point in Marcott is that it pretty well delineates the start of the Anthropocene , about 150 years ago, when we added the blade to the hockey stick Google does a fair job translating and Eli will not step on Jos and Bart’s toes by attempting same (Dutch is close enough to German that Eli can Grok it given incentive)

Letters, Eli Gets Letters, and Email and Twits

Letters, Eli Gets Letters, and Email and Twits Off the top of the pile, a letter to the Gibraltar Chronicle (by way of Barry Bickmore )  from Alfred Cortes, but first some background.  The government of Gibraltar held a Thinking Green Forum last Saturday, with Al Gore and Juan Verde, the former known to all, the latter a former high Department of Commerce Official who presented the position of the Obama administration on renewable energy and how the US election will affect Europe (that would be nice to know). This, of course, attracted the flies, and who shows up but everyone’s favorite martian, the Lord Monckton, spewing as usual, and he got a pretty good press in Gibraltar before going totally off the rails as Eli hinted yesterday.  So, what lit the fuse.  Barry Bickmore came up with the smoking letter: The on-going campaign by the Chronicle against Al Gore and the parallel promotion of the views of Lord Monckton is hard to understand.

One Day in the Death of the Arctic

By News Desk

One Day in the Death of the Arctic While the lala crowd over at Tony’s has been going on about how its all right folks, the Arctic has been melting at an accelerating pace, and the melt has been pretty much all melt and little circulation.  The ice is broken to pieces and floating out there ready for the hammer.  Neven has a nice way of showing this by ratioing the sea ice area to the extent to the sea ice extent.  100% would be a compact ice mass with no little bits floating alone out there.
