If you’ve been paying attention, you knew that at some point, lawyers were going to get involved in the fuss over the antics climate researchers at East Anglia University are alleged to have engaged in. Over at Watts Up With That, a reader has shared a memo that circulated at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River [...] 
One of the blogs on my reading list is “Watts Up With That”, an effort which has been questioning the human-driven global warming by attempting to critique the modern data collection efforts and adjustments made to climate-analysis data. Unlike some of the “denier” nuts, the folks at WUWT accept that global warming is happening and [...]
Before I begin my monologue, I’d like to remind readers of my underlying position on the topic of global warming: I believe that climate change happens, and that humans may have a role. 
Between travel and work I haven’t had much time to do much recreational reading or writing.

Seen in the Guardian: Democrat leaders in Congress committed to swift action on a green agenda today, promising draft cap and trade legislation for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions before the Copenhagen round of climate change negotiations in December. Environmental campaigners had been apprehensive about the chances of the Senate ratifying a new international treaty – [...]
Seen in the Abu Dhabi newspaper, The National: Snow covered the Jebel Jais area for only the second time in recorded history yesterday. So rare was the event that one lifelong resident said the local dialect had no word for it. According to the RAK Government, temperatures on Jebel Jais dropped to -3°C on Friday night. On Saturday, [...] 
Just to keep things in perspective, from Watts up With That: “Is anyone even paying attention to these Wing Nut AGW people? With 1/2 of America worried about having to eat cat food during their retirement, global warming is the last thing on their mind.”
Who says that anti-climate-change activists are obliged to be realistic? Via Treehugger: A new report from the Food Climate Research Network at the University of Surrey says people will have to be rationed to four modest portions of meat and one litre of milk a week if the world is to avoid run-away climate change.
