Warming again
Andrew Bolt
–, Saturday, March, 06, 2010, (7:56am)
The long post-mini-ice-age warming may be resuming after a break of a decade:
Weather, not climate, yet not what Tim Flannery predicted at all:
Widespread heavy rain in Queensland has broken the record for saturating the largest area of land. The weather system drowning Queensland has broken yet another record - this time for the area of land saturated by heavy rain, set 54 years ago.
Reader Jan Pompe chides me:
It may be a bit early to be saying this: "The long post-mini-ice-age warming may be resuming after a break of a decade:"
We have El Nino conditions presently in the pacific that seem to have peaked in the Nov Dev Jan quarter. Consistent with this is the slight drop drop in temperature from Jan to Feb 0.72 -> 0.69.
John McLean also blames the El Nino:
This Bureau of Meteorology web page shows a graph of the Southern Oscillation Index, the measure of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Sustained values below -7 indicate El Nino conditions and sustained values above +7 indicate La Nina conditions, but these are artificial thresholds and there's not much difference at -6 or +6 compared to -7 and +7.
The IPCC acknowledges that the 1997-98 peak in temperature was due to a strong El Nino. How strong was it? From January to April 1998 the average monthly SOI was always below -19.
The graph on the above web page shows an SOI that has generally been falling since March of last year, so when you include the lag, that I and my co-authors demonstrated in a peer-reviewed paper last year, the current temperatures are no surprise at all.
I will be pleasantly surprised if warmer than usual temperatures don't continue right through until at least October.
(Thanks to reader John.)

Geee. Who would have thought that long term trend would return after short term influences subsided????
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:19am)
Yeah, I'm trying to work out what the twist is too. Is he mentioning this so that, when combined with the tide of other cherry-picked and misrepresented stories, he can claim it's not a problem? If there's one thing about this site, it's its adherence to the narrative. Labor is never good, modern youf are always violent, muslim immigrants always hate our way of life, AGW is always a scam. So lets see how this plays out.
And (I thought, and posted) that it was obvious that the warming trend would continue. I didn't need the science to know that - I can read a chart.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (10:05am)
No need. Even the most rabid pro-AGW folk discount the 1998 El Nino Warming as a natural event. The 2010 El Nino Warming should be regarded in the same way.
Mind you, they don't discount it from the running average, from which they get their trend lines…

Coolish, Brendon & Matthew,
Explain how a gas that is equal to the thickness of a human hair in the extent of the atmosphere is able to create a greenhouse effect?
Remember the Germans followed Hitler into WW2 on a false doctrine.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (12:28pm)
Remind me again of that bloke Jones who oversees the tainted,corrupted and contaminated HADCRUT data that fails to "hide the decline."
Give me a break!
Sat 06 Mar 10 (12:32pm)
Matthew doesn't need the science - he can read a chart. What do you think the chart represents Matt?
What gall you have to re-emerge so self-righteously after your utterly disgraceful blood libel Jewish smear from a couple of weeks ago. The idea of you passing judgement on anyone is clearly absurd - to everyone but you of course.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (02:50pm)
"Explain how a gas that is equal to the thickness of a human hair in the extent of the atmosphere is able to create a greenhouse effect? "
Easy. Assuming the science is correct, an increase in the thickness of that hair causes a tiny increase in the fraction of solar energy that is retained in the atmosphere. Over time, that tiny increase will cause the temperature of the biosphere to rise, and what was in equilibrium at temperature A will reach a new equilibrium at A + x. That's the greenhouse effect.
You're in for a bit of a surprise, I think. You need to start getting your information from more than one source.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (02:51pm)
"Matthew doesn't need the science - he can read a chart. What do you think the chart represents Matt?"
Er ... an obvious, long-term increase in temperature? To assume that the trend was going to change would require some sort of explanation, but nobody was offering one. So the default hypothesis was that the trend would continue. It doesn't matter why it's happening - the fact that it's happening is enough to get started with.
"What gall you have to re-emerge so self-righteously after your utterly disgraceful blood libel Jewish smear from a couple of weeks ago"
Did you read it? Do you know what was in it? If not, how can you make any claim about its contents? You'll notice that in another thread I'm still taking andrew to task about it - I maintain that there was nothing anti-semitic in that post at all. Until you actually know what was in it, you should leave the arguing to people who do.
"The idea of you passing judgement on anyone is clearly absurd - to everyone but you of course."
Who's passing judgement on anyone? As far as I can tell, it's you. And I think you're doing it without any evidence at all.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (04:58pm)
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this data only from Australia? H

Why don't you explain how you came to the conclusion that all the CO2 in the atmosphere equates to the thickness of a human hair.
You are only out by a factor of 150 million you dill!
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:48pm)
Gee, some of you AGW fundies really are stupid to the point of ignorant. This graph Andrew used was sourced from the link he provided. Pretty easy to follow thus far, even for lefties, but what you warmists didn't do was read this article by Dr Spencer.
Typical AGW fundamentalism at play. The person who provided the graph also provides scientific comment on atmospherics. I'd suggest you mob of AGW wankers do some reading.
Sun 07 Mar 10 (09:51am)
but what you warmists didn't do was read this article by Dr Spencer.
Sorry, but we were to busy reading these articles. You should quit reading blogs and start reading some real science Scotty.
How can El Nino be a warming event? My understanding of El Nino is that it is the re-distribution of head from one part of the globe to another. Surely the net effect of El Nino should be zero globally!
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:07am)
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:40am)
That's right. They're using a broken thermometer.
They still have to explain why temperatures didn't rise for a decade despite rise in CO2. They still have to undertake a CO2 audit and make fair estimates of the error band. I expect that man's CO2 is well within the error band and thus any theory is junk. They still have to develop a model of the system. System meaning sinks that respond to CO2 rises eg growth of more vegetation, direct and indirect. They rely on CO2 increasing humidity but talk of droughts. Now they say the increase in humidity will lead to more rain in tropical and temperature areas and less in the subtropics. More rain of course means more trees and more carbon sinks. etc ...
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:44am)
You're almost there. The Global Heat Content is redistributed. Surface Temperatures will fluctuate as the heat moves about.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:53am)
Indeed. More than anything else the satellite measurements demonstrate how little is known about the earth's atmosphere and oceans.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:45am)
The UAH data are measurements of atmospheric temperatures. La Nino is the lingering of a patch of warm ocean at the surface, with total oceanic tempeature remaining the same. A surface warm patch temporarily raises atmospheric tmperature. 1998 was atmospherically hot from El Nino. We have a hot lower atmosphere now for the same reason. Wait to see what happens when this current El Nino passes. This current spike is expected from natural cycles.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (10:46am)
A couple of things wrong with your comment that El Nino should be temperature neutral over a complete cycle; the cold and warm parts of the cycle are not the same; there is asymmetry in the cycle which has since about 1850 meant that the warm part of the cycle is warmer than the cold part of the cycle is cold, so that temperatures have gradually increased; see;
The second problem is that higher temperatures have different effects on the Earth's overall energy balance [EB] depending on where the temperature increase is happening; a higher temperature in a colder area will have less effect on the EB than will a warmer temperature in a warmer region; so if the ENSO asymmetry is occuring in the warmer regions than that effect will be magnified. These are natural processes and explain the warming of the last 150 years without recourse to AGW.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (07:59pm)
El Nino is the warming of surface waters in the eastern and central pacific, this warming causes more evaporation from the ocean surface and forms part of the hydrological cycle. When the water evaporates it takes the (latent) heat from surrounding molecules causing those molecules to cool - (which is how an evaporative cooler works). As this evaporated water molecule rises through the atmosphere it eventually condenses and falls as rain releasing that latent heat into the upper atmosphere. This is evident in the satellite temperatures of the upper atmosphere shown here in 1998 (fig 9). The amount of heat that moves between the ocean and atmosphere boundary varies each year and is dependent on ocean currents and trade winds. The misguided comments from people like PaulC can be safely ignored.
Does this mean the ETS double dissolution is back on the agenda?
Does this mean we don't have to hear St Kevin's Health "reform" distraction crap anymore, hooray!
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:15am)
I've always thought it was a grave tactical error for AGW skeptics to continually point to an apparent arrest in the temperature's upwards trend. It is always going to fluctuate up and down into the future. Climate has always changed and will continue to do so. This sort of data will be used by alarmists to shout "we wuz right all along yah yah".
Sketics would be better advised to continue to chip away at the total lack of evidence that is it is increased CO2 in the atmosphere that is causing climate to change.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:17am)
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:20am)
"Climate has always changed and will continue to do so."
No argument there,the question scientists try to answer is what has caused the changes in the past and what is causing it now.
"This sort of data will be used by alarmists to shout "we wuz right all along yah yah"
Not at all,and your comments sum up the skeptics position in that they have no answers or solid science of their own,are not interested in finding any,and see this solely as a political issue.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:22am)
The concentration by skeptics on the past 10 - 15 years of no statistically significant warming was not based on saying "GW is not occuring".. it is based on saying..
"If your models are so good that we should spend trillions world wide to combat what they "predict" then why did none of them "predict" the hiatis in warming."
We all know that the models have a "human signal" built in to them,
even though human impacts continue to be indistiguishable from natural variation,thats why they failed to predict it.
If warming restarts thats all to the good for now… the alternative does not bear thinking about.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:23am)
spot on...can anyone? present evidence that MMC02 is solely and directly responsible for this artificial number's up and down pattern?
Satellite Temp derivation strikes trouble in accuracy when cloudforms of a certain size/optical depth prevail....so maybe the above reflects issues with data management/measurement
-maybe the above variation may reflecst an increase in overall cloudiness...natura climate variation in action...history is our great teacher..and far as i am aware-global shifts in temp predate C02changes by 800 years..
the one fact that the political correct IPCC has always strugled with…
Sat 06 Mar 10 (07:51pm)
It's amazing, this 'data' that has the happy-clappers in the AGW camp brimming with glee is laughable. Are they serious. Has not a single left-wing AGW idealist actually winessed the 5 years of record breaking winters throughout the northern hemisphere?
As asked a billion times before, if you support this theory of CO2 causing any temperature variance then please submit it. Not a single AGW/warminist has a single shred of science or credibility after the leaked emails from East Anglia's CRU. Then galciergate, then a back-down over the claim that that there'd be more storms packing more power, more droughts etc. Again, where's the proof because it just didn't happen.
The cherry picking of data by warminists is amazing given 'The science was in' yet is continually gets disproven.
Dr. Fenrec Miskolczi tested his theory that CO2 cannot cause any more warming no matter how much more goes into the atmosphere. He proved, that CO2 has a saturation level which has already been exceeded and thus more in the atmosphere is irrelevant. This theory was published and peer reviewed even by the warminists over at the IPCC and still they cannot disprove him. Simply put, CO2 DEOS NOT CAUSE TEMPERATURE INCREASES.
Amazing, two seemily warming periods, although breif, both happen during El Nino and the warminists are frothing at the mouth.
Isobar and far as i am aware-global shifts in temp predate C02changes by 800 years..
the one fact that the political correct IPCC has always strugled with… The IPCC struggle with it because it proves that CO2 does not cause climate warming, it's a result of it.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (10:19pm)
Has not a single left-wing AGW idealist actually winessed the 5 years of record breaking winters throughout the northern hemisphere?
You must mean the record breaking warm winters hey Scotty? Don't see how that helps your case
Your CO2 saturation argument has been debunked a dozen times. Please try to catch up.
Sun 07 Mar 10 (07:21am)
Scott said "Simply put, CO2 DEOS NOT CAUSE TEMPERATURE INCREASES. "
Keep wishing it away Scott. Keep fantasizing that it's all a left-wing plot by filthy, gloating greenies. Keep denying reality. Because the alternative, the truth is just too frightening, isn't it…
Over the past few years I've watched the denialists become more and more rabid and more and more disconnected from reality. As recently as 2007 Andrew said that he accepted that global warming was happening and was probably caused by human activity. His argument was with the extent of it - an entirely reasonable point of view.
Now him and his acolytes such as you seem to have moved into complete tin-foil hat territory. "CO2 DEOS (sic) not cause temperature increases". Yes it does Scott. Just wishing it weren't so isn't going to make it go away.
So what ,they cant change it ,and warm is way better than cold ,take a look at the march figures ,looks like its down again.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:21am)
Very interesting. The question which comes to mind is why is the pattern so erratic.
Is there something inherently random in what the satellites are measuring? Are the satellites measuring the same part of the atmosphere each time?
If a known el nino and the mt pinataubo eruption produced displacements from the norm, then what has happening on the globe in the last year and a bit?
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:23am)
It goes up a tad, it goes down a tad. Climate change has happened, is happening, will happen. One day we may understand why.
Human beings have been adjusting to the impacts of climate for as long as there have been human beings.
There are two differences today. Firstly, because we can measure something we think we can control it. And secondly, because we measure it we are aware of it and once aware of it feel a need to be frightened of it.
But don't worry, after every drought comes a flood, after every temp rise comes a temp fall, after every glacier melt the glaciers again grow..... We just keep trying to superimpose our life span as a time scale to define 'normal', that is all.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:42am)
How can it be warming with record amounts of snow and ice? Something odd is going on here. Has there been tampering with the data? Just wondering. It doesn't add up.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:42am)
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:44am)
Because Marrcus the satellite data is global, not just for eastern USA and western Europe. The mistake you and the other deniers make is that you assume that if these areas are experiencing cooler conditions it must be cooler everywhere. At the same time eastern USA was experiencing cooler conditions it was in fact unusually warm in western USA and Canada.
Likewise in other parts of the world January was very warm...such as Perth where we had the warmest and driest summer
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:59am)
Marrcus, only about 5% of the earth's surface has been cooler than normal this year. For most the land and sea, this has been a warmer than normal few months.
See here: http://www.climateshifts.org/?p=4525
And: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/gistemp/do_nmap.py?year_last=2010&month_last=1&sat=4&sst=1&type=anoms&mean_gen=01&year1=2010&year2=2010&base1=1951&base2=1980&radius=1200&pol=reg
Sat 06 Mar 10 (11:08am)
John and Tony may well be correct; I can't comment given my lack of expertise. But what is clear to me is that the decline in public support for the global warming thesis may be linked to the scare-mongering of Gore, Rudd, Wong et al, who argued that isolated 'weather' events (such as the drought et al) as evidence of warming. When we then have a flood, what is the ordinary uninformed member of the public to think of the warminists thesis?
Sat 06 Mar 10 (11:21am)
Your use of the word 'deniers' marks you as a fanatic. What do you think is being denied? Presuming the figures presented are true, which, with recent revelations we certainly have the right to question, what do we see. Temperature variations of less than a degree C over a decade, with an overall gradual increase since the end of the Little Ice Age. Who do you consider is denying that?
What is questioned is causation.
The term 'denier' more aptly suits yourself. A natural climate change denier. A climate fraud denier.
To attempt to link people who ask for evidence of AGW with those who deny the murder of millions is vile.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:42pm)
Tony, nice try at grabbing a headline but how do you explain yet another below average summer in QLD. We in fact had our coolest December on record, it's called 'weather'.
As for your claim that western parts of the USA were warmer, please! Dallas had snow for the first time in 87 years.
Cooma Airport, that's 40 minutes from the ACT, had sonw on January 18 this year. That has never before happened in living memory nor sice records have been kept. Can you try again with your AGW hypothesis.
Nice try with the old 'Deniers' tag. Are you unable to think for your self or are you richeous alarmists beyond reproach? Tell me Tony, who takes responsibility for scaring parents to the point of shooting their baby in the chest because they were so worried about hte lack of attention to climate action. You alarmists are responsible for that baby andhte millions more dying at the hands of Bio Fuels companies.
Sun 07 Mar 10 (07:32am)
Bernie said "To attempt to link people who ask for evidence of AGW with those who deny the murder of millions is vile."
Sigh. Well Bern, the trouble is that you are in denial. The evidence is overwhelming. There's a scientific explanation, theoretical models and data that are all tracking frightening well.
What would you prefer to called? You're certainly not 'skeptics'. Skepticism implies an openness to the facts, no matter how frightening which I certainly don't see here.
Perhaps you'd prefer 'delusional'?
Or it could just reflect the fact that there is an el nino happening, as in 1998. My understanding of the current spike is that it derives almost solely from an increase in pacific ocean temperatures connected with el nino.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:50am)
Do we hear the early chirruping of the Crickets of Doubt in the formerly dogmatic Boltiverse?
One swallow doesn't make a summer: you made a similar faux paswith gorblimey claims about the Sun having another Maunder minimum (today's sunspot number: 40.)when those of us who have studied astronomy for many years knew it was merely the usual low point ( albeit a longer one than normal) in the Sun's regular cycle. This new temperature peak needs to be placed in context; and that context is one of continued anomalous warming that cannot be explained by 'post-mini-Ice-Ages'.
The problem with grasping on to one episode in a long-term subject is that you give undue weight to short-term phenomena. You made the same mistake with Arctic sea-ice, and now you're having to use Anthony Watts' "arctic lite" graphs, where data prior to 2005 is quietly left off because it makes your argument look wrong.
Just find me one skeptic who is prepared to use the freely-available historical data to publish an acceptable paper that disproves current climate consensus and passes peer-review in the climate-science community, and I'll give your arguments some credit.
Go on, name just one.
Not even ten....just one.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:52am)
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:45am)
peer-review in the climate-science community
There's your problem: the climate science community are eco-freaks with an agenda to claim GW is AGW.
Consensus and peer review are politics. The truth will always be the truth.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (10:05am)
Monkeywrench, idiots like yourself give "believers" a bad name.
Explain to me how there can be "peer" acceptance when NONE of the data,codes or mathmatics were handed to any other scientists.
Then you have to prove that warming is actually bad for the planet.
Being a raving left loon I thought you would be happy if Mother Nature cooked a few billion humans. Your previous socialist friends(Stalin, Mao, Hitler) have done a good job killing people before havent they?
Sat 06 Mar 10 (10:25am)
A typical follower of Pathological Science.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (10:25am)
You mean peer reviewed like Michael Mann's Hockey Stick and the IPCC Report?
Sat 06 Mar 10 (11:31am)
Kudos to the Monkeywrench for acknowledging the sun in the bigger scheme of things.
Now for the Medieval Warming Period…
But, you requested a 'paper'.
Though the 'peer review process' has been devalued owing to the fraudulent & incestuous actions of leading 'climate scientists' (no data required or asked for)
Hungarian Physicist Dr. Ferenc Miskolczi proves CO2 emissions irrelevant in Earth's Climate
Miskolczi's Law and Constant yet to be disproven
Dr. Miskolczi first published his work in the Quarterly Journal of the Hungarian Meteorological Services in 2004, Volume 108, No 4. He published further statistical proof in the same Journal in 2007, Volume 111, No. 1.
*In the 5 years since he first published his results, not one peer review has come back disproving his theory, or his Constant. *
To date, not one scientist has come forward to disprove Miskolczi's theory that the Earth's climate is at equilibrium, and that Carbon Dioxide cannot be released in amounts great enough to upset that equilibrium.
Just as with Einstein's E=MC2, there is a strict energetic limit as the Miskolczi Law proves.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (11:37am)
In response to reader interest in Dr. Ferenc Miskolczi's provocative greenhouse theory challenging the widespread belief in man-caused global warming, Examiner.com has asked the former NASA researcher to explain his work further.
Former NASA scientist defends theory refuting global warming doctrine
The above results are the plain proofs that the IPCC consensus on the causes of the global
warming is totally wrong, and the physics of the greenhouse effect requires serious revisions.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (01:24pm)
nuts to the monkey..
consensus is anti science
tis the the proponents of AGW=MMC02 Hypothesis to prove their case-not the the Realist who point out various failures wrt to data confirmation let alone humungus amount of junk science contained within the modelling..
peer review/consensus/anomalous warming/big words reflecting how little you know ..nuts to you..
Sat 06 Mar 10 (02:33pm)
monkeywrench; what a DH you are; here's a list I did some time ago;
Since then Garth Paltridge has done an excellent paper on atmospheric humidity levels which shows they are incompatible with AGW; Stewart Franks has done one on evaporation in the context of the Murray Darling showing that AGW is wrong; Lindzen has done one on radiative flux and the Eearth's energy balance which proves AGW wrong and then there is the Pinker et al paper which Monckton used in his debate with Lambert from Deltoid; the Pinker paper has a very nasty surprise in it for AGW nuts like yourself and there are lists of 100's of anti-AGW papers at the Climate depot and Popular technology sites not to mention the revamped Oregon Petition; you really are a DH.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:08pm)
Monkeywrench is an apt name because you just made a absolute tool of yourself didn't you?
Just one you said..It appears that many people do a little more reading that your do. Care to attempt to disprove Dr Miskolczi? Cat got your tongue or will Miskolczi be labelled a radical and meaningless by AGW fundies like yourself?
Miskolczi is the exception to your AGW rule where his work was peer reviewed, even by his detractors and still hasn't been disproven.
I guess the truth hurts huh!
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:33pm)
monkey, how's the Pan Evaporation results put forward by the IPCC going eh? They claimed in 2001 it had increased but evidence shows this is yet another falsehood. The authors of the Pan Evaporation work seemingly don't like the IPCC taking peotic license to a new level in this and have refuted the IPCC's claim.
Despite the IPCC falsely claiming an increase in Pan Evaporation it has contuinued to decrease for more than 3 decades. Once again AGW fundies and their voodoo science are exposed as a fraud..
Sun 07 Mar 10 (07:52am)
Miskolczi has been completely discredited. Have a look at realclimate if you're interested.
Of course, in the delusional world of AGW denialism I suppose the fact that he's been discredited by real scientists doing real work on climate change means he hasn't been discredited at all. After all, they're all filthy greenies who want a communist world government…
Sun 07 Mar 10 (08:06am)
NotFooledAtAll said"the climate science community are eco-freaks with an agenda to claim GW is AGW."
You are being ironic NFAA, aren't you? Perhaps you should have put in an emoticon to let people know you are not really so much of an idiot as to actually believe this. Because you're actually libelling a lot of hard-working, intelligent people who must get sick of part-time blogging cranks who know sod-all about anything attacking them and their work.
This Bureau of Meteorology web page shows a graph of the Southern Oscillation Index, the measure of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Sustained values below -7 indicate El Nino conditions and sustained values above +7 indicate La Nina conditions, but these are artificial thresholds and there's not much difference at -6 or +6 compared to -7 and +7.
The IPCC acknowledges that the 1997-98 peak in temperature was due to a strong El Nino. How strong was it? From January to April 1998 the average monthly SOI was always below -19.
The graph on the above web page shows an SOI that has generally been falling since March of last year, so when you include the lag, that I and my co-authors demonstrated in a peer-reviewed paper last year, the current temperatures are no surprise at all.
I will be pleasantly surprised if warmer than usual temperatures don't continue right through until at least October.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:56am)
Sat 06 Mar 10 (10:14am)
El Nino was ignored by Andrew Bolt when he longed claimed temperatures had cooled since 1998,no doubt this El Nino will be useful too.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (10:15am)
..further to that point, the january peak failed to reach that of 1998. You would expect, all other things being equal, that after 10 years of baseline warming, a similar sized el nino event would top the 1998 peak. After all, we should have a 0.2 / decade increase according to the mid-range ipcc estimates.
Oh, and BTW, all that warm ocean on the other side of the pacific is what caused Vancouver to have un unseasonably warm winter. That's what El Nino is about.
Pardon my ignorance (I'm no scientist), but wasn't January's figure 0.72? Isn't it heading south again?
Sat 06 Mar 10 (08:58am)
Sat 06 Mar 10 (10:06am)
Curious no need to be a scientist, just follow the link Andrew kindly provided. UAH has updated their data set to v5.3 and the new anomalies are slightly cooler (Jan 10 in 5.2 was 0.72 and Jan 10 in 5.3 is 0.63) however the long term trend remains unchanged at 0.132 degrees per decade. Dr Spencer has demonstrated perfectly that you can correct and adjust the data, changing the absolute numbers without significantly affecting the long term trend. I wonder if Steve McIntyre is going to "audit" Dr Spencer's adjustments just to make sure he's not cooking the books.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (11:47am)
I wonder if Steve McIntyre is going to "audit" Dr Spencer's adjustments just to make sure he's not cooking the books.
McIntyre may indeed audit Spencer's data set. That is how science works.
However, bare in mind that Spencer has made available his data and methodology which is something many climate scientists involved in AGW research have not. It was this failing by the likes of Jones, Briffa & Manne that has put the credibility of climate science to the low point it is at now.
But El Nino is back again. The following from the Oregon Climate Service, ""But this year, we are experiencing the strongest El Niño since 1998."
I am not so sure this is a return to any global trend from the Ice Ages.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:10am)
When the temp goes beyond previous warm spells, we just might have something to talk about.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:18am)
"The long post-mini-ice-age warming may be resuming after a break of a decade"
I think Andrew has summed it up perfectly. The global temperature MAY be resuming its general upward trend that commenced a few hundred years ago (or it may not be - the last few months MAY represent an aberrant peak as for 1998).
As whyisitso said, sceptics would be better advised to continue to chip away at the total lack of evidence that it is increased CO2 in the atmosphere that has caused warming over the past 60 years or so.

UK Met Office drops 'disastrous' seasonal forecasts because; "All our research shows that the public aren't interested in seasonal weather forecasts, but they do want a monthly forecast, which we'll be running on our website,"
Meanwhile, The washington Post reports of scientists preparing a propaganda war chest to denounce skeptics.
Their real problem is not the skeptics, it is:
President Obama, who last month announced that he would create a U.S. agency to arbitrate research on climate change.
Sen. James M. Inhofe, Oklahoma Republican and a chief skeptic of global-warming claims, who is considering asking the Justice Department to investigate whether climate scientists who receive taxpayer-funded grants falsified data. He lists 17 people he said have been key players in the controversy.
Let the games continue.

What a load of codswallop.Only a few weeks ago we were told it will be extremely dry because an El Nino was back, and hey Presto Floods galore.
Climate will always change always has and always will. These charts are Mr. Squiggle on grog.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:31am)
The Earth is doing what it normally does, we have had years of no change, then we have had years of a slight cooling, now we are seeing a bit of warming. It's all natural.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:34am)

You can see when the ice age ended right here, it's written there at the left side of the chart.
Notice how it's been warming since then? Ten thousand years of what we blog scientists call "negative warming"
I guess you were wrong Andrew. This inconvenient truth coincides with Perth having experienced the hottest and driest summer on record.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:34am)
Sat 06 Mar 10 (10:18am)
But Tony, what about parts of the Northern Hemisphere, which have seen cold, snowfall and snow extent records tumble this year? I guess Perth being warm is climate change due to global warming, and Washington freezing over is just weather, right?
You really must stop clutching at the first hint of warmth to say 'I told you so'. Most sceptics point out cold weather events not to disprove the AGW theory, but to poke fun at people like yourself.
Sat 06 Mar 10 (10:24am)
Selective data, so Perth alone controls climate!
Sat 06 Mar 10 (03:07pm)
Good call brc
I thought the the US, Canada, and Europe just had their coldest winters in 30 years. Maybe temperature measuring devices were not working because they were frozen. Has this data been fudged?
Sat 06 Mar 10 (09:34am)
Sun 07 Mar 10 (08:12am)
Mike asked "Has this data been fudged? "
No mike. Eastern US and Western Europe have had cold winters but much of the rest of the northern hemisphere has had a very warm winter. Witness importing snow for the winter Olympics. Overall, the temperature has increased.

Andrew writes for the Herald Sun, Daily Telegraph & Advertiser and runs Australia's most-read political blog, On week nights he hosts The Bolt Report on Sky News at 7pm and his Macquarie Radio show at 8pm with Steve Price.

Phoenix Pop Warner team to play for national championship
PHOENIX — The Arizona State Sun Devils will take on Stanford for the Pac-12 championship in college football on Dec. 7.
But the Sun Devils aren't the only Valley football team about to play for a trophy.
The Northeast Pride Pop Warner football team from north Phoenix won the California Regional last week. The undefeated team is now 12-0 for the season, and it will play in the Junior Midget Division National Championship game next week in Orlando. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN, which will officially announce whom Northeast Pride's opponent will be on Tuesday.
During an appearance on News/Talk 92.3 KTAR's Arizona's Morning News Weekend Show on Saturday, Northeast Pride head coach Joe De La Vara said that he's proud of his team.
"This team is built with a bunch of All-Stars. We literally have All-Stars at every single position," De La Vara said. "They're a bunch of unselfish kids that are just great athletes. We're blessed. We've got talent at every single position on the field."
The team is made up of mostly eighth-graders. One player, Marshawn Gibson, said he wants to win the championship for his parents.
"Both of my parents have been diagnosed with cancer," said Gibson. "We've been fighting through it this whole time."
Gibson does not believe his parents will be able to make the trip to Orlando to see him play, but he knows they'll be watching on television back home in Phoenix.
In order to play for the championship, the Northeast Pride team needs money.
"We have to raise almost $25,000 to get 19 kids and support staff to Orlando," De La Vara said. "It's a huge mountain to climb in a very short time."
The team is asking for help, and they have set up a website for donations at www.gofundme.com/NEpride.
Northeast Pride is one of three Valley Pop Warner teams that will be going for championships in Orlando. The others are the Farwest Jets Pee Wee team and the Deer Valley Crusaders Junior Pee Wee team.
All of the teams are hosting fundraisers to make the trip.

On Saturday morning Ralph Sampson III will take the court in venerable Williams Arena for the final time. During his career, he became one of five Gophers to ever score 1,000 points, collect 500 rebounds, and block 200 shots. No player has achieved that since Michael Bauer nearly a decade ago.

The Great Theatre Pipe Organ of the Arlington.
Open Console
Our next open console will be Saturday, 13 August 2016 from 9AM to 11AM.
Open consoles are open to the public. Bring your friends. Tell your neighbors. Come play the organ, or just listen. Chamber tours will be conducted.
Enter the Arlington Theatre through the side door on the Sola Street side of the theatre nearest the rear of the building. The door will be propped open. This double door has stairs leading down to it.
Do not enter by the theatre back door near Sola street (a single door), which has a single stair step. This door may be opened by the stage crew for their use. It leads to the backstage, and we are not permitted in that area.
We had a problem with a recent open console, which was greatly attended (thanks to a wonderful Santa Barbara News Press article). Unfortunately, guests wandered outside the area of the organ console, principally backstage, the dressing rooms, the lobby, and the balcony. This intrusion strained our relationship with the theatre. If you attend the open console, please stay near the area of the organ console and theatre seats, or accompany an SBTOS member for a chamber tour.
The Arlington Theatre is located at 1317 State Street between Victoria and Sola streets.

Our 4th CD is available.
Scott Foppiano laid down tracks in the organ computer for a 4th CD when he was last here. The audio recording was done late at night on 9 January 2014.
As with our other CD's, the direct-to-digital audio recording was donated by True-Stereo Location Recording. The photography, artwork,and CD production was donated by the SBTOS President , who is also the webmaster.
Under the CD tab, you can hear snippets of some of the musical selections.
Front cover and insert front side Insert back side
CD face Tray liner
Our 3rd CD is still available. Samples of the musical selection as well as the liner notes are available under the CD tab above.
After the January 2011 concert, we planned on doing the audio recording for a 3rd Scott Foppiano CD. The CD is delayed as Scott is suffering from a herniated disk. This CD has tunes different than the standard Gershwin and Porter faire, and that work well with the theatre pipe organ, such as: Barry Manilow - I write the Songs, Overture from Pirates of Penzance, etc.. Scott really likes the Great Theatre Pipe Organ of the Arlington. The recording took place on Saturday, 9 July starting at 11 PM and extending into the wee hours. Scott's performance was excellent.
Both the CD's below are available at open consoles for $15.00, and by mail (includes postage and handling) for $20.00. Send a check to: SBTOS, POB 1913, Goleta, CA 93116.
The previous two Scott Foppiano CD's were Renaissance (now sold out), and Christmas at the Arlington (picture below and still available).
Christmas at the Arlington received a wonderful review in the November/December 2009 Theatre Organ Magazine. The first paragraph sets the tone of this review: Scott Foppiano's new holiday CD, Christmas at the Arlington, is a Christmas stocking full of holiday musical enjoyment. Scott made this album on the great four manual, 27-rank Robert-Morton organ, most of which originally came from the Loew's Jersey Theatre and is now installed in the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, California. The instrument itself is a real barn-burner, as is this highly entertaining CD.
Overview of Arlington Theatre from the Balcony. Main Chambers I and II are in the Spanish village on the left. Solo Chamber is in the Spanish village on the right. The percussion shelf is in back of tower at the left of the stage. The organ rises on a lift from beneath the forestage. The ceiling is semi-elliptical which is acoustically very kind to the organ. The theatre seats 2017 people. Photo courtesy of SBTOS member Tom Ginn.

The province is pledging to shut down any private clinics that pay people to donate blood plasma.The ministry of health checked a downtown Toronto Canadian Plasma Resources clinic that is setting up shop, which was petitioning for a license to pay donors $25. It also wants to open up another Toronto clinic and one in Hamilton. The minister's office says as of Tuesday, the clinic on Adelaide St. by Jarvis St. is not up and running.
Health Minister Deb Matthews vows to monitor the sites to make sure Ontario's laws are followed. Matthews says she doesn't want paid plasma clinics in the province. While Health Canada issued the Toronto clinic a license, it still has to get a provincial one to operate. She says that's not going to happen. If they try to operate a paid donor clinic, Matthews says the province will shut them down. Matthews underlines there's a risk associated with putting blood that was paid for into a voluntary donor supply. She is accusing the company of targeting the poor by setting up shop in low income neighbourhoods.

Former Bush Institute director to negotiate on key areas of new education law
A former Bush Institute director who helped launch an initiative to recruit and train better school principals is part of a task force charged with drafting rules for key parts of the new federal education law.
Kerri Briggs was the first program director of the George W. Bush Institute, overseeing education reform. She previously served as an assistant secretary for elementary and secondary education in Bush's administration.
The committee will focus its work on two areas: assessment and how local schools can use federal money to supplement and not replace their own funds for various programs.
That includes proposing rules for testing students with disabilities and English-language learners as well as using computer-based testing.
Briggs is now an education policy officer at Exxon Mobil and chairs the board for the National Center for Teacher Residencies, which focuses on programs that train future educators to work with high-need students.
Another Texan on the committee is Delia Pompa, senior fellow for the Migration Policy
Pompa long has been active in addressing the needs of English-language learners in Texas. She has testified in state trials on behalf of groups seeking to improve bilingual education programs and during the school finance arguments.
Pompa is a former senior vice president with the National Council of La Raza and former executive director of the National Association for Bilingual Education. She also served as director of the Office of Bilingual Education and Minority Languages Affairs in the Department of Education and as a Houston school administrator.
Last month, President Barack Obama signed the new Every Student Succeeds Act, which replaces Bush's signature No Child Left Behind law and shifts much of the responsibility for accountability back to the states.
The committee, which includes stakeholders from across the country, will present its recommendations on how to implement this new law to the Department of Education.
Now, this isn't glamorous work. It largely consists of meeting at least twice over a few days and trying to come to a consensus on what should and should not be included in regulations.
And as Education Week reports, if participants can't reach an agreement, then a different, much longer and more involved process begins.

Following the storms of April 4, Jackson ABC affiliate WAPT-TV says those who suffered damage from the storms have received $250,000 in federal aid that has gone toward rental assistance and other needs.
WAPT also says that 600 people have applied for FEMA aid since President Bush declared a disaster in Hinds County in May. That declaration brought about a disaster assistance center in Jackson.
Storm victims can apply for aid until June 28.

Staying ahead of the storm sometimes means more than stacking sandbags. On the Oklochnee River, heavy rains back in February caused water to rise past the shoreline into yards--despite sandbagging efforts.
The campground is now dry, but officials are asking residents to watch for flooding and not to drive in flood prone areas. Sheriff Larry Campbell said, "As the rivers start to fill up, for example the water from Georgia starts to coming down on state road 12--we'll be watching for that. When it starts getting to a dangerous level, we will close those roads off."
Currently, Leon County Emergency Management says Fay could be a serious threat to rivers such as the Oklochnee if the storm brings enough rain further north to fill the basins.

Rob Ford says your guess is as good as his when it comes to why the Premier won't meet with him regarding the financial assistance request that council forwarded Monday.
The city is looking for help to pay for damage caused by last month's ice storm, and last July's flood.
Tuesday evening, Premier Kathleen Wynne's spokesman told reporters that the Premier "has and will continue to meet with Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly as Toronto Council's representative."
Mayor Ford spoke with NEWSTALK 1010's Joe Warmington on the Late Shift Tuesday, and says all he was looking for was a straight answer.
"I don't play these political games...I meet with everyone and I don't understand why she just doesn't pick up the phone or send me an e-mail and say 'no, I'm not meeting with you,' or 'yes I am, and here's the answer'"
When asked why he thought Premier Wynne didn't want to speak with him, Mayor Ford suggested perhaps it was his connection to the PC's by-election win in Etobicoke-Lakeshore back in August.
Rob Ford will be joining several other GTA mayors and regional chairs on Friday to discuss a joint application for financial assistance.
UPDATE: Ford asks for ice storm meeting with Premier Wynne

Social media has become a dominating force in the eyes of today's consumer. From YouTube to Facebook, consumers are turning to social media sites now more than ever to get more deeply connected to a business. Better Business Bureau is advising businesses to use their Facebook presence to their advantage.
A Facebook page can serve as an eye catching way to lure in potential customers – if used correctly. Making sure that your website is up-to-date and fresh is the first step to having a solid, successful Facebook page. Don't make the mistake of having your Facebook page serve as your only online presence. An eye catching Facebook page is a great way to complement your business' website.
According to Human Business Works, 60% of U.S. businesses are not online in any fashion — a huge mistake in an age where most people rely heavily on search engines to find information about businesses. Investing the time and creative brain power behind your website serves as a great landing page for your Facebook link. As many have found, Facebook serves as a great way to build your fans and overall constituency and it's important that your page's messaging speaks volumes about the effectiveness of your business and its brand.
"Businesses can gain great insight about their consumers through their Facebook page. Looking at their responses and involvement on their page is a great indicator of the depth and to what degree they are reaching their audiences," said Patrick Bennett, Better Business Bureau spokesperson. "Special graphics and applications aren't a must, but could be considered to add a nice spice and to set the page apart from others in the business."
BBB recommends the following to small businesses that are looking to grow their Facebook presence:
Keep your page fresh, lively and interactive. When posting to Facebook make sure to keep your audience in mind. What would they like to know and what do they need to know? Are you offering any special deals, rewards or promotions? All comments should be kept positive and sincere. Consider polling your audience with a question of the day or week to keep them engaged and feeling valued.
A picture (and video) is worth a thousand words. Make sure to keep the communication light and avoid talking at your audience. Try mixing it up by adding pictures and videos with fun, telling captions to reel in your audience.
Spread the love. By becoming fans and "liking" your business partners, vendors and sponsors, you can not only grow your own constituency, but gain more eyes on your work.
Share the wealth of knowledge. Informative postings that are in-line with your business are a great way to show your followers that you are up-to-date and keeping with the trends of the industry.

Only workaround I know of right now is to replace the media-upload.php in wp-admin with the same file from WP 3.2. This should work until the next update of WP. I am not sure anyone is ever going to take over this plugin and update it.
Not broken for real but we cant access the flickr albums through the flickr button in the admin. Temporary solution i found is to use an existing shortcode such as

The Czechs, looking for a third consecutive title in the competition, were outplayed in Palermo where former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova was beaten by Roberta Vinci to leave them needing to win every match on Sunday.
In Moscow, an inspired Dominika Cibulkova came from a set down to beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 5-7 6-1 6-4 in the opening match, lasting two-and-a-half hours, before 75th-ranked Daniela Hantuchova made short work of Maria Kirilenko 6-2 6-4 in the second singles to put Slovakia in command.
The Slovaks are making their first semi-final appearance since 2002 when they went on to win their only title to date.
After dropping the first set, world number 13 Kirilenko led 2-0 in the second before her game fell apart on red clay in the outskirts of Moscow as Hantuchova took complete control, sealing the match with a crisp cross-court forehand.
"I have enough experience to deal with tough situations," said former top 10 player Hantuchova, who has slipped in the rankings in the last few years.
"This is the Fed Cup and we were playing as a team here."
Earlier, world number 15 Cibulkova secured a key break in the seventh game of the deciding set for a 4-3 lead before clinching victory on her first opportunity when Pavlyuchenkova's lose forehand sailed wide.
"It was a very, very tough match especially playing in a foreign country," Cibulkova told reporters.
"I was very nervous at the beginning, was making a lot of errors, double faults, but gradually I got back into the match. I was telling myself not to give up, to keep fighting. This inner strength has helped me win this match."
In the other semi-final world number seven Sara Errani got the Italians off to a great start with a 6-4 6-2 defeat of Lucie Safarova. Then, Vinci stunned Kvitova 6-4 6-1.
Kvitova, who had won 13 of her last 14 singles rubbers in the competition, was no match for Vinci with her superior power unable to make any impact on the slow Palermo clay.
Kvitova, who will play Errani in the first reverse singles, said she had struggled to adapt to clay.
"I hope I can cancel this match in my mind and have a free mind for tomorrow," Kvitova said on Saturday. "I'm still getting better, and it's obviously tough to be 100 per cent ready to play these girls on clay but we'll see."
Italy are looking to reclaim the title they won in 2009 and 2010 but captain Corrado Barazzutti was urging caution.
"Tomorrow is another day," he said. "We played fantastic today and it was really important that Roberta beat Petra but we have to stay focussed."

Dead Woman Pickney chronicles life stories of growing up in Jamaica from 1943 to 1965 and contains both personal experience and history, told with stridency and humour. The author's coming of age parallels the political stages of Jamaica's moving from the richest Crown colony of Great Britain to an independent nation within the British Commonwealth of Nations.
Taking up the haunting memories of childhood, along with her astonishment at persistent racial marginalization, both locally and globally, the author sets out to construct a narrative that at once explains her own origins in the former slave society of Jamaica and traces the outsider status of Africa and its peoples. The author's quest to understand the absence of her mother and her mother's people from her life is at the heart of this narrative. The title, Dead Woman Pickney, is in Jamaican patois, and its meaning unfolds throughout the narrative. It begins with the author's childhood question of what a mother is, followed by the realization of the vulnerability of a child without its mother's protection. The term "pickney" was the name for slave children on sugar plantations, and post-emancipation the term was retained for the descendants of enslaved Africans and the children of black women fathered by slavers. The author struggles through her life to discover the identity of her mother in the face of silence from her father's brutal family.
A wonderful resource for teachers of history, social studies, cultural studies, and literature, this work could be used as a starting point to discuss issues of diasporic identities, colonialism, racism, impact of slavery, and Western imperialism around the world. It is also an engaging read for those interested in memoir and life writing.

Northbound Treatment Services is experienced in working with Educational Consultants to help our clients forge a new and promising future.
As part of our continued commitment to helping our clients forge a new and promising future, Northbound Treatment Services is experienced in working with Educational Consultants. In fact, we often receive referral from Educational Consultants for clients who have graduated from therapeutic boarding schools, wilderness programs or who simply need a clinically-structured program to help with their academic planning and success.
In partnership with the educational consultants, Northbound works to ensure the success of the client, meeting the requests and needs of the consultant and providing counseling and education for families to help them along in the educational and addiction treatment process. The Northbound Academy, located in Orange County, California, can help facilitate a student transfer from one institution to another as well as help high school graduates get started in their college careers.
It is not uncommon for clients to come directly to Northbound Academy from a therapeutic boarding school, primary treatment program, or wilderness program. This has proven to be a seamless transition for clients in need of an extended care environment. Through the high-quality counseling and facilities available at Northbound Academy, we strive to make the transition from high school to college as effortless as possible. We take into account every client's academic goals and meet their individual academic needs. Moreover, Northbound also helps first time college students navigate the challenging and often complicated college experience.
Who Is Appropriate?
- Students who have been to previous colleges or Universities, and had difficulty succeeding.
- Students who need their GED or High School Diploma
- Students with a history of psychological disorders
- Students with a history of learning disabilities
- Students with a history of substance abuse or dependency
If you are an Educational Consultant and want to learn more about Northbound and our facility, please feel free to contact us for more information about our therapeutic college academy.
What is an Educational Consultant?
Educational Consultants help families find the right school or college for their children. They often specialize in helping troubled teens and young adults find treatment and therapeutic boarding schools. An educational consultant can play a vital role in helping families find a treatment program that can help their loved ones and restore the broken bonds that can occur in families under the stress of addiction, dependency and similar issues. The best place to find a qualified educational consultant is through the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA).
What We Do
Educational Evaluation: When a client is ready to enter the Northbound Academy, the first step is an educational evaluation, which helps us identify strengths and weaknesses and is critical to determining educational objectives, choices and plans. Our Academic Director conducts a thorough educational evaluation with every student who enters the program in order to make a determination about his or her progress in treatment, stability, and potential school schedule.
Testing: We administer an Enhanced Career Inventory test to every client who enters our program. The results of this test are useful in helping the student determine what his or her career goals and aspirations may be. Our Educational Director then carefully reviews the results with each client, seeking input and further insight into the student's own hopes and plans. When appropriate, our psychologists might recommend additional academic and psychological testing to further develop a student's strengths and weaknesses, such tests may also be called on to determine if any learning disabilities are present.
Contact: The Northbound Academy Staff works with both the educational consultant and the client's family to consider the full range of educational possibilities for every student. In this way, we can be sure that everyone concerned has access to all of the most pertinent information as we move forward in developing plans for treatment and future schooling.

NASCAR fans have the opportunity to not only get up close and personal with two high-powered stock cars at machine tool builder Doosan Infracore's Booth S-8100, but also meet their drivers. Brian Scott will appear alongside his No. 11 Toyota Camry—which sports Doosan's logo—at 1 p.m. Wednesday, and Kyle Busch will show off his No. 18 M&Ms Camry at 11 a.m. Thursday. Both drivers are members of Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), which has partnered with Doosan for 15 years and currently uses 23 of the company's machines at its shop in Huntersville, North Carolina.
Surrounding the flashy racecars, however, are a number of purposefully more down-to-earth displays designed to appeal to the real reason folks attend IMTS—to explore technology that can help boost the bottom line. Whereas displays in other booths might showcase machines cutting fanciful, artistic components designed especially for demonstration purposes, all Doosan machines under power are cutting actual parts from actual customers, says John Ross, marketing manager. "As opposed to parts that have no place in the real world, we wanted to showcase applications that people walking through the booth can relate to," he explains. Examples include turning of a large oil industry pipe, an application performed at Houston-based oilfield company Baker Hughes, and machining of a die for a firearm stock manufactured by Remington.
Finally, Mr. Ross says he believes booth visitors will take particular notice of one product: the DooCell. Demonstrated for the first time at IMTS, this cellular manufacturing system uses a touchscreen controller and diagnostic system designed to take automation beyond simply pairing a robot arm with a turning cell or machining center. According to the company, its simple design and operating features enable users to assess performance and diagnose problems without day-to-day use of complex robot pendants.
