New study 'shows that the frequency of tropical storms has decreased since 1872 - and that this decrease will continue also in the future' -- The 'new normal' is LESS, not more tropical storms
New study by Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science & Meteorological Research Institute of Japan, published in Geophysical Letters: 'We found a clear decreasing trend of global tropical cyclone (TC) frequency throughout the 228 years of the simulation...In our recent 228 year long simulations from 1872 to 2099, a decreasing trend of global TC frequency is found not only in the future but also in the past during the 20th century'
Northern Hemisphere Snow Extent Was Greatest On Record In December
'Northern Hemisphere December snow extent was the greatest on record, and has increased by more than 20,000 Manhattans since the 1960s' -- 'The UN IPCC predicted the exact opposite'
Claim: UN IPCC Temperature Projections Have Been Exceptionally Accurate
Reality Check: 'There's been no warming since the mid-1990s despite 8% more CO2 in the atmosphere'
Princeton University - Link between warming and past droughts questioned
'New research from Princeton & Australian National U...indicates that the development of drought is much more complex than previously thought and the reports of increasing drought were caused by weaknesses in mathematical model used to simulate drought rather than any real drying trend. 'The overall view has been that as temperature increases drought is going to increase,' said Justin Sheffield, of Princeton's Dept of Civil & Env. Engineering. 'But it is not that simple'
New paper finds another mechanism by which the Sun controls climate -- Published in Geophysical Research Letters
Study 'finds that short-term changes in solar activity over the 11 year solar cycle have a significant influence on the North Atlantic Oscillation [NAO] and Arctic Oscillation [AO]. According to the authors, 'Variability in solar irradiance has been connected to changes in surface climate in the North Atlantic through both observational and climate modelling studies.'
AGW Bombshell? A new paper shows statistical tests for global warming fails to find statistically significantly anthropogenic forcing -- Published in the journal Earth System Dynamics
Study suggests that the posited AGW forcing effects simply isn't statistically significant in the observations, but other natural forcings are. 'This implies that recent global warming is not statistically significantly related to anthropogenic forcing. On the other hand, we find that greenhouse gas forcing might have had a temporary effect on global temperature'
Peer-reviewed study finds climate was much more variable and extreme in the past - Published in Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology
Study finds 'From AD 1450 to AD 1700 our reconstruction shows a period with stronger variability and on average higher values than the 20th century mean'
More Evidence MWP was global: New paper finds temps in Patagonia warmer than the present during Medieval Warming Period -- Published in Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology
Study 'reconstructs temperatures in Patagonia, Chile over the past 1,600 years and finds temperatures were warmer during the Medieval Warming Period in comparison to 20th century. The authors find 'warmer temps [than 20th century mean] from AD 600 to AD 1150 and colder temps from AD 1200 to AD 1450.'
New paper finds climate models are unable to reproduce ENSO and other teleconnections -- Published in the the International Meteorological Association journal Tellus
Study 'finds that state-of-the-art climate models are not able to reproduce atmospheric teleconnections, such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation [ENSO]. 'Due to internally generated [natural] climate variability, the models are not able to reproduce the observed temporal behaviour [behavior over time]'
New Study: Faint young Sun paradox resolved by assuming CO2 did not control temperature -- Published in Geophysical Research Letters
Study finds that the 'Faint young Sun problem' has become 'more severe" because to solve the problem using conventional greenhouse theory would require CO2 to comprise 0.4 bar or about 40% of young Earth atmosphere, far greater than CO2 partial pressures today [0.014 bar or 28 times less] or those estimated for young Earth [0.06 bar].'
Political Murder & Environmentalism: 'Prof. Parncutt's essay, far from being logical and objective, reflects environmentalism's failure to make logical and objective arguments...'
'...much less persuade anyone with them. In his frustration, Parncutt escalates his claims against those he blames for environmentalism's failure. Along the way, he reveals the ideological nature of environmentalism, and betrays his own inability to reflect on his failures, and to take responsibility for them. It wasn't deniers who held up environmentalism's progress; it was environmentalists'
New paper finds climate responds to short & long-term changes in solar activity -- Published in The Holocene
Study 'finds a significant link between solar activity & climate over past 1000 years. According to the authors, 'Our results suggest that the climate responds to both the 11 yr solar cycle and to long-term changes in solar activity and in particular solar minima.' The authors also find 'a link between the 11 yr solar cycle and summer precipitation variability since around 1960'
Paper shows solar activity at end of 20th century was near highest levels of past 11,500 years -- Published in Astronomy & Astrophysics
Study 'reconstructs solar activity over the Holocene and finds solar activity at the end of the 20th century was near the highest levels of the entire 11,500 year record. Over the past 2,500 years, the paper shows a 'hockey stick' of solar activity, with a sharp increase following the end of the Little Ice Age in the 1800's'
Meteorologist Joe Bastardi: 'If you used the stations used in 1930s -- in other words --measured temps today with what we used in 1930s, it is not warmest yr on record'

'It is very unusual to have thunderstorms and rain at that particular level of the mountain but it is just the whole climate is changing'
Green leader reverses himself on genetically modified (GM) food: 'In the history of environmentalism, has there ever been a bigger mea culpa than that given here by Mark Lynas?'
Environmentalist Mark Lynas recants: 'For the record, here and upfront, I apologise for having spent several years ripping up GM crops. I am also sorry that I helped to start the anti-GM movement back in the mid 1990s, & that I thereby assisted in demonising an important technological option which can be used to benefit the environment...I now regret it completely...what happened? I discovered science, and in the process I hope I became a better environmentalist'

'Wildlife devastation being wrought by 'climate-friendly wind turbines': 1. Wind turbines don't produce that much electricity. 2. They run on average only at about 20% of their rated capacity. 3. Their lifetimes are turning out to be only half of what was promised. 4. They are turning the landscape into a panoramic eyesore. 5. Now, we see they are killing birds and bats by the millions
Wind farms vs wildlife: 'The evidence suggests that, this century at least, renewables pose a far greater threat to wildlife than climate change'
'Wind turbines only last for 'half as long as previously thought', according to a new study. But even in their short lifespans, those turbines can do a lot of damage. Wind farms are devastating populations of rare birds and bats across the world, driving some to the point of extinction'
Jellyfish and Global Warming – another busted alarm: New peer-reviewed study: 'There is no robust evidence for a global increase in jellyfish'
New Study in PNAS: 'Recurrent jellyfish blooms are a consequence of global oscillations' -- Abstract excerpt: 'We analyze all available long-term datasets on changes in jellyfish abundance across multiple coastal stations, using linear and logistic mixed models and effect-size analysis to show that there is no robust evidence for a global increase in jellyfish'
New paper finds climate in Tibet was more stable in 20th century than prior -- Published in Climate of the Past
Study 'reconstructs the climate of southeast Tibet over 224 years from 1781-2005 and finds, 'The climate appears drier and more stable in the 20th century than previously.' The paper contradicts claims of climate alarmists that global warming causes an increase of extreme weather or extreme precipitation. In addition, the paper finds cloud cover decreased during the 20th century in comparison to the 19th century, which could amplify solar effects on temperature'

'This industrial park built to cater to solar businesses in eastern China's Kaihua County appears to be dead. Roads are unimpeded by traffic. Most buildings stand vacant. Walking past dozens of factories here, no workers pass by. No machinery whirs -- 'Suntech Power Holdings, the industry leader, in 2012 received a warning of being delisted from the New York Stock Exchange as its share price stayed below $1 for a month. By contrast, that figu re was nearly $90 in 2008'
Gore touts Morano as 'Climate 'Misinformer of the Year': 'ClimateDepot.com founder Marc Morano has been called 'the Matt Drudge of climate denial,' the 'king of the skeptics'
Gore's website features Climate Depot
CFACT moments of 2012: 'Marc Morano becomes TV's voice of climate realism' -- 'Morano was here, there and everywhere debunking climate propaganda on tv, radio, in print and online'
'Morano debated Michael (hockey schtick) Mann on BBC & Bill Nye on CNN. It seems as if not many days go buy without spotting Marc on the tube. The radicals have noticed and are not happy. They've taken to calling Marc 'The Godfather,' equating him with Hitler, (See Godwin's law), compiling video homages and giving him awards, Stay tuned in 2013 and watch the Leftists and Greens suffer a full bloom of Marc Morano derangement syndrome'
