August 21st sketch from Catainia Observatory, Italy. Click for a larger image
I had thought I was getting “blown off” by SIDC (Solar Influences
Data Center) since I had not heard a response to two emails I sent…that
is until today, over a week later. At least it appears they’ll correct
the southern hemisphere error. Perhaps Leif can explain to us about the
other stations that reported a spot that we haven’t heard about until
now. Note, this may be a form letter, since it starts with ”Dear Sir”.
I suspect they got a lot of email. I’m convinced though, that 100 plus
years ago, this speck would have gone unreported, and thus we now have
a non- homogenous sunspot database due to chnages in procedures and
improvements in instrumentation. That is the most important issue that
needs to be addressed. - Anthony Read rest…

 Al Gore/AIT Index: Currently -.612° F since An Inconvenient Truth was released - ticks down slightly for August 2008; global warming stopped
The GL graphics department has once again marked up Dr. Spencer's monthly temperature graph to illustrate the irony of the Gore Effect.
GORE LIED's monthy Al Gore/AIT Index ticked down slightly for the month of August, 2008.
Currently
the global averaged monthly temperatures have dropped an eye-popping
.612° F since Al Gore's science-fiction movie, An Inconvenient Truth,
was released on January 26, 2006 at the Sundance Film Festival.
Although
the UAH monthly global average temperatures only dropped .018° F (.010°
C) in the month of of August, 2008, the gap between this actual
observed temperature, and what Al Gore and the IPCC predicted is
getting larger and larger. Remember, Al Gore and the IPCC did not
predict that anthropogenic global warming would "rest", they predicted
that it would go straight up in lock-step with CO2 emissions. Well, the
CO2 emissions are still going up, but the temperatures aren't.

The World Bank is warning of “climate chaos” and demands a rebuilding of the world’s agricultural science centers to keep everyone fed. The basic message is right on target, even if it is swathed in climate hype. Katherine Sierra, the World Bank’s vice president for sustainable development, says climate change will mean more droughts, floods, more outbreaks of pests and disease, more heat stress for livestock and less arable land for crops. She warns the world “dropped the ball” on agricultural science after the Green Revolution saved a billion people from starvation and preserved 16 million square miles of forest from being plowed for more low-yield crops.

Do a web search for “Kyoto and Global Warming” and you will be
pointed to a stunning 4.5 million sites. For many people in the world
today, Kyoto could never be located on a map, few would know that it
was once the imperial capital of Japan, and for that matter, few would
even know that Kyoto is in Japan. It really wouldn’t matter, for most
importantly, almost everyone knows Kyoto has something to do with
global warming, “Kyoto” is something President Bust did or didn’t do,
and it led to more global warming, right?

 In a post last week entitled “Debate vs. Demonization“ we
questioned the tendency on the part of global warming alarmists to
demonize anyone who wishes to question the reality, the scope, the
causes, or the prescriptions for global warming. We referenced one
recent exchange between Dr. Roger Pielke Sr., a renowned climatologist
who has raised such questions, and one of his detractors. In this
exchange, the person who had attacked Pielke made the following
statement:
“At the risk of talking science, Dr. Pielke takes specific
exception to my reporting of the average global temperature over the
past 10 years. I hate to get into duelling graphics, in part because it
would encourage people to think that Pielke’s choice of graphs is
relevant, but here is the UK MET office Hadley Centre’s most recent record of global average temperature. To the degree that this might be considered a discussion about science, I stand my ground.”
If you click on this link, the graph you see is not terribly
ambivalent. Temperatures are shown to be rising, and if all you knew
was how to read a bar graph, and had no reason to doubt the veracity of
the data, it would be alarming. So I asked Dr. Pielke to provide
background on the Hadley Centre’s data, and here is his response:

UAH
(University of Alabama, Huntsville) Microwave Sounder Unit (MSU) lower
troposphere global temperature anomaly data for August 2008 was
published today and has moved a bit below the zero anomaly line, with a
value of -0.010°C, down from 0.048°C in July 2008
The global UAH ∆T from July to August 2008 was .049°C and is 0.287°C
cooler than in August 2007. It becomes the fourth time the UAH data has
dipped below the zero anomaly line in 2008

2008 1 -0.046

Simple Question, Simple Answer… Not
I often get emails from scientifically trained people who are
looking for a straightforward calculation of the global warming that
greenhouse gas emissions will bring. What are the physics equations and
data on gases that predict just how far the temperature will rise? A
natural question, when public expositions of the greenhouse effect
usually present it as a matter of elementary physics. These people,
typically senior engineers, get suspicious when experts seem to evade
their question. Some try to work out the answer themselves (Lord Monckton for example) and complain that the experts dismiss their beautiful logic.
The engineers' demand that the case for dangerous global warming be
proved with a page or so of equations does sound reasonable, and it has
a long history. The history reveals how the nature of the climate
system inevitably betrays a lover of simple answers.
