I .. propose another stunt for climate sceptics – put your strong views to the test by exposing yourselves to high concentrations of either carbon dioxide or some other colourless, odourless gas – say, carbon monoxide.
You wouldn’t see or smell anything. Nor would your anti-science nonsense be heard of again. How very refreshing.
Getting back to 350 ppm will be difficult and will take time. By the time we get back to 350 ppm, we will know a lot more and we will be able to be more specific about what “less than 350 ppm” means. By then we should be measuring Earth’s energy balance very accurately. We will know whether the planet is back in energy balance and we will be able to see whether climate is stabilizing.
The worst hurricane, tornado, flood, drought, and heatwave all occurred with CO2 well below 350 ppm.

Antarctic sea ice area has been above the 30 year mean for most of the past two years.
Chelsea break world record for manager Andre Villas-Boas following Portuguese’s switch to Stamford Bridge
Chelsea have paid Porto €15 million (£13.3 million) to make Andre Villas-Boas their new manager and the most expensive coaching appointment in football history.
After suffering through their tenth coldest spring on record and a cold first month of summer, Greenlanders have to listen to the rantings of idiots at the ABC.
Global warming provides new benefits in Greenland
The winter solstice was at 3:16 this morning (EST), marking the shortest day of the year. So from now on the days will get longer, whereas in the northern hemisphere it’s the summer solstice, so the days are going to get shorter.
In Greenland, the climactic transformation that’s come with global warming has brought record warmth to the Arctic — far out of proportion to the changes elsewhere in the globe. But it’s been a good thing for many of the 56,000 people who live in Greenland. The tourist summer season is longer, the caribou are larger and more plentiful, the cod migration lasts longer and, for the first time, there’s even the possibility of agriculture, with locals trying their hand at growing vegetables.
The entire island is covered with snow. What are they growing? Snow peas?

I listened to the interview and was astonished by what the journalist in Greenland was saying. She claimed that it was currently 30C in northern Greenland. In fact, the highest temperature in Northern Greenland is about 7C.
Obama sold the American people a trillion dollar stimulus package using scenarios B and C. Scenario B was no stimulus and 8% unemployment in 2011. Scenario C was stimulus and 7% unemployment in 2011.
Obama forgot to mention scenario A, which is an extra trillion dollars debt and 9% unemployment in 2011. He makes Jimmy Carter look like an economic genius.
They want the government to do as they are told, and not ask any questions. What kind of democracy is this when rogue scientists can’t ramrod their lies and socialist agenda through the Congress?
