On balance if you look at all the things the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the body of experts convened by the United Nations to advise governments in responding to global
warming] has been doing over the
last number of years, they were trying very hard to put in all the peer -
reviewed serious stuff.
To get an idea of why it's important to have icebreakers even in a

review our 2005 series, «The Big Melt» and the series of posts here
last year on Arctic shipping efforts.
«Not a single paper in a large sample of peer -
reviewed scientific journals between 1993 and 2003 refuted the consensus position, summarized by the National Academy of Sciences, that «most of the observed
warming of the
last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations.
Following up on my post from
last week on the Arctic Oscillation, Ken Chang has written a Week in
Review story with a bit more detail on the unusual atmospheric patterns behind the big, but very constrained, chill, and the dominance of
warm conditions — just not where a lot of Western media are situated.
Those who rail against the media for including too many voices of doubt in some stories on global
warming science and policy might want to step back a minute and

Solar activity has been the highest in the previous 4 centuries: http://www.climate4you.com/images/SolarIrradianceReconstructedSince1610%20LeanUntil2000%20From2001dataFromPMOD.gif The empirical data from peer
reviewed science, Hatzianastassiou (2005), Goode (2007), Pinker (2005), Herman (2013), McLean (2014), shows that during the
last 2 decades of the 20th century when most of the late 20th century
warming occurred, the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth's surface increased by 2.7 W / m ² to 6.8 W / m ².
There's a lot in there, but, the authors write, the compilation of peer -
reviewed scientific observations and models together «tell an unambiguous story: the planet is
warming, and over the
last half century, this
warming has been driven primarily by human activity.»

Earlier
last year, following an article
reviewing 6 (also alarmist) books on the environment including Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, Nicholas Stern's report, and George Monbiot's Heat, we discovered that, inconveniently, May had taken a few liberties with the facts himself, citing a single study, referenced in the Stern Report to make the claim that» 15 — 40 per cent of species «were vulnerable to extinction at just 2 degrees of
warming, and that oil companies were responsible for a conspiracy to spread misinformation, and prevent action on climate change.
The journal Science, which is peer

last another decade before surface temperatures start rising again, according to scientists.
The latest attack on global
