In what he calls ‘a manifestation of warming’, Dr Richard Bates who helps monitor the Greenland ice said he was ‘amazed’ to see such a huge area of ice break off the Petermann glacier. …read more

Straight off his polo horse (and I don’t mean Camilla) the Prince of Wales decides to set the record straight and give a piece of his mind to all those nasty people who question global warming.
Climategate: there may be more errors in the UN glacier report
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010
The case for man-made climate change continues to crumble before our eyes. The head of the UN climate change panel (the IPCC), Dr Fajendra Pachouri has admitted there may be further errors in the now infamous ‘glacier report’. The report which, published in 2007, won the Nobel Peace Prize. …read more
Global warming to pause, but not the climate change claims
Monday, January 11th, 2010
According to a report in the Daily Telegraph there are a few scientists who believe that global warming is set to ‘pause’ over the two or three decades. This will be a result, according to them, of the cyclical changes that occur in ocean currents.
Professor Mojib Latif of Germany’s Kiel University Leibniz Institute believes these ocean current cycles …read more
Climate and Copenhagen: success or failure

Climate change conference heats up, or is it cooling down?
Thursday, December 17th, 2009
While the politicians wrangle in the halls of the Bella Center in Copenhagen, outside the protestors get the heavy handed police treatment. It also looks like Gordon Brown’s early arrival, timed no doubt to coincide with a triumph, has been met with almost deadlock. From a trawl of the day’s newspapers we get a lot of different information.
It seems the US are offering what the rest of the world see as derisory carbon emission cuts, whilst China …read more
Climate Change: So What!
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
Am I a climate change denier? I have not been persuaded by the evidence I’ve seen that human activity is primarily responsible for changes in world climate. I don’t deny that the climate seems wilder than when I was young but we haven’t had too many summers as fantastic as 1976. 2003 was hot but I can’t claim that I’ve noticed a general change to either warmer or dryer summers. My father tells me that when he was a lad they had colder winters with more snow than we do now but I can’t say that I’m acutely aware of winters being shorter or warmer than when I was young. But what is normal? …read more
Climate Change – the one sided debate
Sunday, November 29th, 2009
The issue of climate change has exercised the minds of Toby Helm in the Guardian and Peter Hitchens in the Mail. The Guardian runs with the story that one of the fifteen EU Parliamentary representatives at next week’s climate change conference in Copenhagen will be Nick Griffin of the BNP. Whilst Peter Hitchens berates the one sided debate that is what he calls the modern climate change zealotry. By putting these two in the same article I am in no way saying they are to same politically. …read more
The Climate Change hoax
Saturday, November 21st, 2009
A hacker has broken into a server at the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (the Hadley CRU). Material taken from the server included E-Mails from a leading climatologist, Phil Jones, as well as a lot of raw data. This was then posted to an anonymous FTP server in Russia along with an explanatory note: “We feel that climate change is, in the current situation, too important to be kept under wraps. We hereby release a random selection of correspondence, code, and documents.” …read more
