Dr. Tim Ball (drtimball.com), historical climatologist, retired professor, and author of the Amazon top-100 climatology and environmental science book The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science (see an excellent review here) gives a succinct and insightful explanation of the genesis of and moving forces behind the massive disinformation campaign that is Climate Change alarmism.

Karl et al ‘Pause-buster’ Paper Debunked Again
In June 2015, NOAA NCEI Director Thomas R. Karl published a paper “Possible artifacts of data biases in the recent global surface warming hiatus” that concludes
Here we present an updated global surface temperature analysis that reveals that global trends are higher than reported by the IPCC, especially in recent decades, and that the central estimate for the rate of warming during the first 15 years of the 21st century is at least as great as the last half of the 20th century. These results do not support the notion of a “slowdown” in the increase of global surface temperature.
In addition to the several problems with the questionable data adjustments made by Karl et al that have been thoroughly documented and analyzed by Bob Tisdale, Anthony Watts, Judith Curry, Richard S. Lindzen, Arno Arrak, Ross McKitrick, Patrick J. Michaels, Paul C. Knappenberger, Christopher Monckton of Brenchley, S. Fred Singer, and others in the following articles to name a few: READ MORE…

IPCC Lead Author: No IPCC Model Has Ever Successfully Predicted the Future
Bill Frezza interviews Richard Lindzen on Real Clear Radio Hour on February 12, 2016. Atmospheric physicist and MIT Professor Emeritus Richard Lindzen was the lead author of the “Physical Climate Processes and Feedbacks” chapter of the IPCC Third Assessment Report. Lindzen attributes climate hype to politics, money, and propaganda particularly taking issue with the “97% consensus” claim that is being used to stifle debate and demonize skeptics.
CO2 Making the Earth Greener
Recent satellite records have revealed a global greening process over drylands, but to date, the reasons for this greening have been somewhat of a mystery. A new study just published on nature.com on February 12, 2016 by authors Xuefei Wang, Lixin Wang and Matthew F. McCabe concludes that
…higher concentrations of atmospheric CO2 induce plant water saving and that consequent available soil water increases are a likely driver of the observed greening phenomena.

The Total Failure of the IPCC’s Much Vaunted CMIP5 Climate Models
Bob Tisdale’s latest analysis of the models versus reality across the global oceans is as clear as can be. The IPCC’s much vaunted and relied upon CMIP5 climate models do NOT represent the world in which we live. Not even close. Here is his summary conclusion, for all the graphs, explanations, and numerical details see the original post from his blog below…
We live on an ocean-covered planet. One might have thought that one of the climate modelers’ first priorities would have been to simulate the processes that cause sea surface temperatures to vary on annual, decadal and multidecadal bases. Sadly, the modelers elected another route…they chose to create models of a planet that bear no relationship to the one where we live, no relationship at all.
Climate model simulations of sea surface temperatures are far from reality. That is, they’re modeling a virtual planet—a science-fiction planet—with no similarities to Earth. More specifically, as shown in this series of posts, the climate models used by the IPCC do not simulate (1) the actual warming and cooling rates of the ocean surfaces, or (2) the spatial patterns of those trends, or (3) the absolute temperatures. It would be nice if climate modeling agencies might try to simulate the surface temperatures of this planet, not some fairytale one. That way, their models might have some value. Right now, they don’t serve any purpose…other than to illustrate how poorly they simulate Earth’s climate.
This post will serve as part 2 of the 2015 update of the model-data comparisons of satellite-era sea surface temperatures. The 2014 update is here. This, the second part, contains time-series graphs. But the data and model outputs are being presented in absolute, not anomaly, form.
INTRODUCTION
The climate models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are not simulating climate as it exists on Earth. That reality of climate models will likely come as a surprise to many climate laypersons.
