How much can happen in the global warming world over one weekend? You’ll be surprised…
Jolly Prince Chuckles
Prince Charles, renowned climate expert and object lesson in the perils of inbreeding, is getting heat from environmentals for two planned projects. In Cornwall, Clown Prince Charlie wants to bulldoze ancient hedgerows for a new ‘eco-village’ development; and near Bath the Prince wants to develop a green belt area for new housing. Some of his soon-to-be-ex-hippie-friends are not amused:
Curate the Rev Catherine Sourbut said: ‘Are the Duchy’s principles really so easily swayed by the huge pay-off they stand to receive? What of the Prince’s public agenda on environmental concerns?’
You know what they say, Curate; ‘pass the Duchy on the left hand side‘.
A Royal basket case
In both cases of the Prince wrecking the land for development, His Royal personage will net millions of pounds for his own pocket, but why would the Prince need all that money? Oh, wait, his other green business lost how much?
When Media Attacks
The UK press can smell warmist blood in the water and is in the midst of a feeding frenzy that few alarmists will withstand. While we wait for the somnolent North American media to wake up, let’s enjoy the British show from afar.
The Daily Mail revealed that CRU’s Phil Jones says there has been no warming since 1995.
The Sunday Times, ‘World May Not Be Warming‘:
Terry Mills, professor of applied statistics and econometrics at Loughborough University, looked at the same data as the IPCC. He found that the warming trend it reported over the past 30 years or so was just as likely to be due to random fluctuations as to the impacts of greenhouse gases. Mills’s findings are to be published in Climatic Change, an environmental journal.
The BBC (!), ‘Extraordinary developments in Climategate affair‘:
…in a separate and rather over-looked announcement yesterday, UEA said that it is now going to reassess the science involved, science at the heart of the whole climate change debate.
The Daily Telegraph, ‘UN Global Warming Data Skewed‘ (featuring Anthony Watt’s SurfaceStations work):
The IPCC used data from the weather stations to back up claims that greenhouse gases had already caused a 0.7C rise in temperature, and gave warnings that further warming of up to 6C by 2100 could have devastating effects on civilisation and wildlife. Rising temperatures around the stations, which have been in use for 150 years, could also have been caused by urbanisation, the study claimed. One weather station at Manchester airport, which was built when the surrounding land was mainly fields, is now surrounded by heated buildings.;
The Scotsman helps bring down another member of the Muir Enquiry team, ‘Senior Scots scientist in climate probe row‘:
The Scotsman can reveal that only a few months ago, Prof Boulton, from the University of Edinburgh, was among a number of scientists who, in the wake of the climategate scandal, signed a petition to show their confidence that global warming was caused by humans. And for at least five years, he has made clear his strong views on global warming. He has given interviews and written articles – including in The Scotsman – that have spelled out his firmly held beliefs.
It’s almost as if UK papers believe asking questions and reporting facts is back in vogue. Now what about US media?

Fun With Warmists
Emo-ecomentalist Joltin’ Joe Romm wants to green up Valentine’s Day. Like Joe ever had a girlfriend.
Scientific method, we don’t need no stinking scientific method, the science is settled, see:
“Despite the drumbeat informing the public that science strongly supports the climate-change thesis, the hacked data paint a picture of a community of experts afraid of scrutiny, willing to use underhanded methods to silence doubters, and content to eliminate evidence that might undermine both their theories and their funding.”
Ouch.
