  1. ChrisinMB, right. At least Britain still has some public organizations that appear to be open to finding out the truth and not like here where they still pay lip service to the AGW fraud.

  2. Public policy is often based on such “iffy” information. However, even if this received the utmost media scrutiny, I’m sure there would still be politicians pushing for “climate change” policy.

  3. In other words, in plain English, the University of East Anglia’s Climategate inquiries were an institutional-ass-covering whitewash.

  4. I noticed that the sheeple were told (as usual) by the Canadian media to remember that it was getting warmer. This came right at the peak of the recent cold spell, as a sort of diversionary tactic, I suspect.
    It really is getting more and more Orwellian each time out. They had some nameless person in Vancouver saying that it was not like it used to be when three feet of snow would be a common thing. Excuse me? In Vancouver? The only time I ever saw more than two feet of snow here was way, way back in December 2008. Some of you younger folks may not remember that, it was in the Bush administration (sort of).
    Oh and there was about a foot a couple of days after Christmas 1996. Those are the distant times when, long before modern industrial society, winters used to be harsh on the west coast.
    If in fact it is a degree less cold now than in some other period, who really cares? We’ve all been outside in the winter in Canada, one degree isn’t going to change anything. Yet this is the excuse to divert our economy to some nightmare scenario devised by crazy marxists and the Chinese government. Our country seems willing to sacrifice its economic future to try to remove one lousy degree from the thermometer — and we also know that isn’t possible anyway.

  5. Peter O’Donnell – What? Both more snow and less snow are telltale signs of AGW. Just like more/less sockeye, more/less pine beetles, etc., etc.
    Get informed!!!! about the FACTS!!!!
    Save us UVic professors!!!!

  6. I remember snow in southern Sask in the 1960 that was up to my arm pits. Of course, I was three and a half feet tall at that time.

  7. Carefully designed programs of data manipulation, exaggeration, with no effort to account for growing urbanization — the theory in the blogosphere seems to be incompetence, but I suspect ulterior motives. I know some of the people involved, they are not stupid people, and not necessarily careless with their work either.
    But perhaps there are benefits we don’t know about. Perhaps a forensic audit would explain the mania of global warming science. Who’s paying under the table for these stories, always at the best time to keep public opinion in line with government policy (or at least international public policy trends)?
    Follow the money. That’s the only way to expose what’s going on.

  8. I happened to be watching Global TV news from Toronto last evening, and the weather report came on; actually more exposition than a weather report. First, they said it’s clearly getting warmer…in the city, and quoted a source who explained the urban heat island effect. Didn’t say “urban heat island” in so many words, but clearly attributed the “milder winters” in T.O. to that cause. Said zero, zilch, nada about CO2.
    Then they went to a graphic of the globe, emphasizing just how much of this planet is ocean, and then went to a chart showing cycles in ocean temperatures, and how the Pacific cycle and Atlantic cycle are both now going into a cold swing, and that we can look forward to a number of cold-weather years as a consequence. Again, nothing about AGW whatsoever.
    Frankly, I was gobsmacked to see anything approaching climate realism on MSM television.
