    Have you tried bleeding the radiators?

    Fake Conferences
    I checked this conference out, which was a so called fake conference.

    IEEE Xplore - ITAP 2010 Welcome

    I can assure you that anything published by the IEEE is not fake.

    Sounds like desperation, climate "scientists" trying to smear anything they don't agree with.

    Lets wait for the temperatures to plunge.

    But the real interesting question is how are you going to explain the rapid cooling from 2010 onwards.



    I'm looking forward to that one.

    Lets peer into history to see what the scientists were saying in 1982:

    As long as it really does explain the alternate view and isn't just a book by a geologist rubbishing the alternate view, I'll have a look.

    Dream on. The way the Sun is going, now looking increasingly more like the Maunder Minimum.

    Which means....a huge drop in temperatures

    Starting this year.

    So taxing the tulipe out of energy usage only makes everyones std of living lower and makes feck all difference to temperature, sea levels, distruptive weather events etc, and only serves to buy Al Gore and even bigger mansion.

    ...and then when you've understood that you can perhaps claim that 1980-2000 warming was unexpected. But you can't. There was a record solar maximum in that period.

    Easterbrook explains it well, and I suggest people read it. The ice core data shows it.



    The temperatures are going plummet

    Sit back and enjoy the show. As Piers Corbyn says, 2011 will be the Stalingrad of AGW.
    What is the alternate view?
