(Read the original story on this issue if you haven’t already.) The DeSmogBlog Youtube channel has uploaded the original video. I’m not sure if Peter Sinclair is aware of this, but somehow I think he won’t mind much. Mr Watts, however, will probably throw another fit. I will consider the issue a true victory for [...]

I recently created a multi-genre document which explores discrepancies in the way the media reports on climate change. Falling Short Apologies that the visual quality isn’t too great. I conveniently lost my digital copy of this file and all I had was a hard copy, which I scanned, losing some of the quality in the [...]
Sinclair vs Watts

Many of you probably are familiar with Peter Sinclair’s Climate Denial Crock of the Week channel, which dispels popular climate myths. Many of you are probably also familiar with Anthony Watts and his blog Watt’s Up With That. Several weeks ago, Sinclair created a video called “What’s Up With Watts?” in which he debunked the [...]

I first watched the Manpollo videos about a year and a half ago, when I had the flu, and ended up watching the entire six hours over two days. I don’t remember when it was that I discovered Greg Craven was writing a book based on the videos, but I’ve been excited to read it [...]
A Quote about Alarmism
Posted in Other Advocates, tagged alarmism, climate change, global warming, quote on July 22, 2009 | 12 Comments »
“Alarmist is defined as a person who alarms others needlessly. Yelling “fire!” in a crowded theatre when there is no such fire is clearly alarmist. Pointing out an actual plume of smoke is not.” -RealClimate
A Few Moments of Brilliance

I just finished reading one of the many climate change books on my reading list, “Heat: How to Stop the Planet from Burning” by George Monbiot. I have to say that the subtitle really annoys me. Fossil fuels are burning, yes, but the planet isn’t burning. It isn’t combining with oxygen and disintegrating. Most of [...]
Global (not Regional) Temperature

Throughout most of central Canada, where I live, as well as the north-central US (west of the Great Lakes), we’ve had a very cool spring and summer. It feels like we’ve only had a few days of actual summer. My shorts are sitting at the bottom of my closet wondering why I’ve rejected them. The [...]
CO2 Levels for June
Posted in News and Reports, tagged carbon dioxide, climate change, global warming on July 17, 2009 | 3 Comments »
389.42 ppm (From CO2 Now, an advocacy group, but they appear to get their data from the Mauna Loa Observatory, so we can establish sufficient credibility.) Worse than even I expected. Remember the good old days when An Inconvenient Truth had just been released and CO2 was still at 380 ppm? Nothing in science changes quite [...]

From this website I was introduced to one of the best explanations of how science works. Thanks to Brian for the link. Science is an area of study where the means justify the ends. You shouldn’t start with a conclusion that you like, and then form an argument around it (that’s why I’ve never liked [...]
A Story Worth Hearing

I found a great article on one of the blogs I read a few days ago. It was the first time I’d heard of the story, and it made me so mad that I knew I had to share it on ClimateSight. But this article was so well-written that I doubted I could come up [...]
