ABSOLUTELY MUST READ:
An open letter signed by 16 world top scientists:
No Need to Panic about Global Warming (Wall
Street Journal online, 27 Jan 2012)
1. Excellent comment
of statistician William Briggs warning of fitting
time series.
2.
Re-evaluating Germany's blind faith in the sun.
Must-read Spiegel-Online article: "...subsidies
have already exceeded the 100 billion €
level...Solar energy has the potential to become the
most expensive mistake in German environmental
policy"
3.
Ap index, neutrons and climate. Read this
article by D. Archibald on the geomagnetic indicator
of solar activity: "If Solar Cycle
24 is progressing at 60% of the rate of the previous
two cycles... a total temperature decline of 4.9°C
at the US-Canadian border is predicted over a period
of about twenty years."

plateau) temperature decline:
4.
Back-up or Back-out: read this Clingendael
report on wind energy.
"Wind power has a
low capacity credit (in NW Europe). This means that
wind power does not significantly replace other
generating capacity; alternative power sources need
to be in place, together with new installed wind
capacity for at least 80% of installed wind
capacity, to ensure that there is sufficient back-up
to meet market demand at times of reduced wind power
supply. Most of this will have to come from
conventional power plants"
5. New
paper by N. Scafetta:
Testing an
astronomically based decadal-scale empirical
harmonic climate model versus the
IPCC (2007) general
circulation climate models."By not properly
reconstructing the 20-year and 60-year natural
cycles we found that the IPCC GCMs have seriously
overestimated also the magnitude of the
anthropogenic contributionto the recent global
warming...We
show that the temperature may not significantly
increase during the next 30 years"

excellent app for iphone users (0.79 Euro). Highly
recommended. Search the Apple Store for "our

Words
of the great physicist Freeman Dyson: "Unfortunately
the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by
politics more than by science. If it happens that I am wrong
and the climate experts are right, it is still true that the
remedies are far worse than the disease that they claim to
cure."
99.
R. Lindzen: "Future generations will wonder in bemused
amazement that the early 21st century's developed world went
into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature
increase of a few tenths of a degree and, on the basis of
gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections
combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to
contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age"

Some
say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From
what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor
fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know
enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is
also great
And would suffice.
Fire and Ice, R.
Frost, 1920

The
greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of
distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from
propaganda.
