Science vindicated as Senate edges closer to climate and energy debate
The 20-year global campaign to cool the planet, one of the most influential civic movements in human history, was built on two points of reference. The first is visible evidence on every continent of escalating temperatures, melting ice, more ferocious storms, fiercer droughts, and deadlier floods. The second is the wealth of scientific data that […]

‘Climategate’ scientists cleared of all charges by independent review
An exhaustive six-month independent review into the Climategate emails has concluded that the “rigor and honesty” of the climate scientists caught up in the non-scandal are “not in doubt.” [PDF] The investigation, led by Sir Muir Russell, found no grand conspiracy among scientists brainwashed by the U.N. IPCC and Al Gore to dominate the planet […]

Climate scientist Mann gets final exoneration from Penn State
Few if any American climate scientists have been as falsely accused — and thoroughly vindicated — over both their academic practices and scientific results as Dr. Michael Mann. Today, Penn State issued its final and complete exoneration of Dr. Michael Mann in the matter of his scientific practices “for proposing, conducting, or reporting research,” primarily […]

The Climate Post: Why isn't the Keeling Curve more famous?
First Things First: IBM will ask its 28,000 suppliers to monitor and disclose their energy use, heat-trapping gas emissions, waste, and recycling. Spread across 90 countries, the suppliers are compelled to install software designed to help firms understand their impact–if they want to continue working with the computing and services giant. “Ultimately, if a supplier […]

Contest: Rename the Scandal Formerly Known as Climategate
So, no conspiracy, no collusion, no manipulation of data, no corruption of the peer-review process, no scandal; just an understandable reluctance to hand over data to dishonest people with a history of misrepresenting it. Squibs don’t get much damper than “Climategate”. The most worrying aspect of the drama was the way in which most of […]

Why climate realists and skeptics talk past each other
Courtesy Nemo’s great uncle via FlickrTruth be told, I’m more interested in people who are overcoming barriers to progress than in the endless “does global warming exist?” debates. When your house is on fire, at some point you stop arguing with someone who says there’s no fire, and you focus on getting your family out. […]

House of Commons exonerates Phil Jones
We believe that the focus on CRU and Professor Phil Jones, Director of CRU, in particular, has largely been misplaced…. In the context of the sharing of data and methodologies, we consider that Professor Jones’s actions were in line with common practice in the climate science community…. Likewise the evidence that we have seen does […]

Poll results handily explained by what bloggers think
First things first: Another week of waiting for details of Senate legislation left little public grist this week. The Economist runs a climate package, which is worth reading. Beyond that, it’s a good time to take a step back. Last week, Gallup released results of its latest global warming poll. They found that nearly half […]

Fifteen states have polluter-driven resolutions to deny climate threat
Cross-posted from the Wonk Room. Yesterday, the South Dakota legislature passed a resolution telling public schools to teach “balance” about the “prejudiced” science of climate change by a vote of 37-33. Earlier language that ascribed “astrological” influences to global warming was stripped from the final version. This act of conspiracy-driven ideology is hardly alone — […]
