BANGKOK, Thailand, April 6, 2011 (ENS) – The first round of UN climate change talks since the Cancun summit in December is underway in Bangkok this week.
Negotiators from 173 governments are supposed to build on the Cancun agreements and work towards establishing a new global climate change regime, to extend or replace the Kyoto Protocol, when its first commitment period expires at the end of 2012.

The talks are taking place as unprecedented heavy flooding in southern Thailand has claimed the lives of more than 50 people.

The floods were likely caused by climate change, Thailand’s deputy chief negotiator for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change said as talks opened on Sunday.

The 1978 flood destroyed 550,000 homes in Thailand.

Dr. David Suzuki: I do despair. My wife and I huddle at night and weep for our helplessness. We are losing big-time and I’m enough of a scientist to see we are heading right down the tube. Judging by the past twenty years, we are going backward.

Dr. David Suzuki: My children and grandchildren. What gives me hope is that we don’t know enough to say it’s too late. The most valued salmon species is sockeye salmon and the largest run in the world is the Fraser River run in British Columbia, Canada. Over the past century, good runs were of the order of 25 to 35 million fish. Two years ago, just over a million sockeye returned and I figured “That’s it. The run is done.” A year later we got the biggest run in 100 years – 35 million! No one knows what the hell happened, but it shows nature has surprises up her sleeve and maybe, if we can pull back and give her a chance, she will reveal some wonderful surprises like the Fraser Sockeye.

Yesterday I showed that Northern Hemisphere snow cover has no correlation with global temperature.

However, there is a very good correlation between snow extent and cold. The plot below shows Rutgers North American snow cover vs. the UAH US temperature anomaly. Cold winters have more snow, and warm winters have less snow.

This is intuitively obvious. A cold winter brings snow further south.

Which again shows the uselessness of a “global temperature” – and how perverted the thinking of some  climate scientists has become.

Plenty of time to finish the job in the next four years.
