To combat increased waves of illegal migration that will likely accompany climate change, Israel must secure its borders with impassable barriers, including “sea fences” along the Mediterranean and Red seas, experts have concluded. “The lack of water, warming …

SHOPS and restaurants could face fines up to $1.1 million if waiters or sales staff wrongly blame the carbon tax for price rises or exaggerate the impact. And households are being warned to watch out for telephone scammers offering to deposit carbon tax compensation into the …

Scientists continue to discover more and more of the powerful greenhouse gas escaping from the thawing Arctic. Methane several times more effective at holding heat than CO2. Climate change can be increased by this process.

Climategate, the 2009 exposure of misconduct at the University of East Anglia, was a terrible blow to the reputation of climatology, and indeed to that of British and American science.

"The amount of dense Antarctic Bottom Water has contracted each time we've measured it since the 1970s," said Dr Steve Rintoul, of CSIRO and the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems CRC. "There is now only about 40 per cent as much dense water present as observed in 1970."

Scientists have identified thousands of sites in the Arctic where methane that has been stored for many millennia is bubbling into the atmosphere. The methane has been trapped by ice, but is able to escape as the ice melts. Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience, the resear …

At the end of the day, the whole AGW scam is about more taxes....

The Little Ice Age, a cooler period of the Earth's recent history, may have been a global event rather than confined to the northern hemisphere, according to a paper published last week. Some climate skeptic blogs are excited about this finding, and have taken it as a start …

The world we inhabit has an outer rind that is extraordinarily sensitive to change. While the earth's crust may seem safe and secure, the geological calamities that happen with alarming regularity confirm that this is not the case. In Britain, we only have to go back a couple y …

Heartland’s crazy billboard featuring crazies was quickly pulled down, but climate groups are fighting fire with fire — or, in this case, billboard with billboard. Forecast the Facts came up with this lovely specimen [see pic] But Clear Channel, which apparently co …

Climate change projections indicate a steady increase in temperature progressing through the 21st century .....  .......generally resulting in snowpack reductions, changes to the timing of snowmelt, altered streamflows, and reductions in soil moisture, all of which could af …

Much hysteria among the AGW class about sea level rise, but not much data. Here is some data. Kudo's to Judith Curry  

The world's biodiversity is down 30 percent since the 1970s, according to a new report, with tropical species taking the biggest hit. And if humanity continues as it has been, the picture could get bleaker. Humanity is outstripping the Earth's resources by 50 percent — ess …

In March, high temperatures over two-thirds of the continental US set numerous records and made it the nation's warmest March on record. April has been no slouch either, as high temperature records have continued to fall. But at the time of our last report, the services that tr …

How can NASA physicist and climatologist James E. Hansen, writing in the New York Times today, “say with high confidence” that recent heat waves in Texas and Russia “were not natural events” but actually “caused by human-induced climate change&rdq …

One day after new test results showed that only 32 percent of U.S. 8th graders are proficient in science, a group of 26 states has helped draft a document that may bring about a major overhaul of science education in this country.   

The Himalayan Mountains in central Asia and Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the range and in the world, is one of the front lines for global warming in the world. Most climate scientists agree that the Himalayas, sometimes called the Third Pole bec …

GLOBAL warming isn’t a prediction. It is happening. That is why I was so troubled to read a recent interview with President Obama in Rolling Stone in which he said that Canada would exploit the oil in its vast tar sands reserves “regardless of what we do.”

With a population of a little over one billion (according to the UNFPA report) Africa is certainly one of the continents that is faced with huge challenges of under-development, poverty, food insecurity, environmental degradation, water scarcity, pollution and land degradation. …

Michael Chrighton came up with the idea that global warming is a religion. Watch him stammer his way through an interview with Charlie Rose when asked to defend his position on global warming.

The Heartland Institute, a fiercely conservative/libertarian think tank that champions denial of climate change, briefly ran a billboard in Chicago last week featuring a photo of notorious criminal Ted Kaczynski (aka the Unabomber) next to the message "I still believe in glob …

Few global issues are as fervently debated today as Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory. It is folly to use the term "climate change" as the climate has eternally been in a state of natural change, where even a child can recognize the four seasons. Instead, we will stick  …

When Cameron Dueck set sail to the Canadian Arctic to witness what he calls “the front line of climate change”, he did so knowing he would have to brave seas that have killed scores of sailors and reduced men to cannibals. For 450 years bef …
