Steve McIntyre is a brilliant mathematician and is one of the few
true skeptics left in the world today. He takes nothing for granted,
and investigates climate related papers in an attempt to ensure
fairness within the science of climatology. A must read for anyone
interested in Earth Climate issues.
"International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment
Project, is the portal to all things climate for elected officials
and staffers, journalists, scientists, educators and the public. It
provides access to a new and growing global society of respected
scientists and journalists that are not deniers that our climate is
dynamic (the only constant in nature is change) and that man plays a
role in climate change through urbanization, land use changes and the
introduction of greenhouse gases and aerosols, but who also believe
that natural cycles such as those in the sun and oceans are also
important contributors to the global changes in our climate and
weather. We worry the sole focus on greenhouse gases and the unwise
reliance on imperfect climate models while ignoring real data may
leave civilization unprepared for a sudden climate shift that
history tells us will occur again, very possibly soon.
Through ICECAP you will have rapid access to our experts here
in the United States and to experts and partner organizations worldwide,
many of whom maintain popular web sites or insightful blogs or newsletters,
write and present papers, have authored books and offer interviews to the
media on climate issues. We spotlight new findings in papers and reports
and rapidly respond to fallacies or exaggerations in papers, stories or
programs and any misinformation efforts by the media, politicians and advocacy groups."
"The purpose of this blog is to investigate and expand on the
research methods of Dr Theodor Landscheidt who, building on the work of
various scientists, developed some interesting mathematical models
concerning the role of the relationship between the Centre of Mass
of the Solar System and the Centre of the Sun on cycles of solar
activity and their effects on the Earth’s climate..."
"Originally from Britain, I came to live in Tasmania in 1980,
settling near Launceston, and for the last 9 years have been one of the
numerous 'skeptics' speaking out publicly against the Global Warming scare,
which makes exaggerated claims that the earth will warm by +1.5 to +6 deg. C.
due to an enhanced Greenhouse Effect.
Climate and climate change has been a lifelong study of mine since
my early days as a ship's officer in the British Merchant Navy. I have
lived through and traced the progress of the 'ice age' scare of the 1970's,
the 'nuclear winter' scare of the 1980s, and now the 'global warming'
scare of the present. All these scares have advanced the interests of what
was a small academic discipline 30 years ago to become a mammoth global
industry today. It is my view that this industry has, through the `politics
of fear' which it has promoted, acted against the interests of the public.

"On this website, frequent reference has been made to the so-called
'Greenhouse Industry'. The term itself implies that scientists and policy-makers
involved in climate change gain an economic benefit from over-emphasising the
theorised effects of man-made 'global warming'. That such a benefit exists is
undeniable - consider the explosive growth of climate-related research institutions
and academics in the last 25 years, with all the opportunities for travel to exotic
locations for conferences and the improved prospects for promotion which exists.
This is one of the few sciences where a kind of Hollywood 'star' system applies,
where fame and applause greets those scientists who tell the industry exactly what
it wants to hear. This star system is the very antithesis of science, yet is
encouraged quite blatantly by the industry and its leading body - the UN
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN-IPCC).

"What modulates our Sun? The majority of science work on the principle
that the Sun is self modulating and each solar cycle is a product of a random
number generator. There are others that suspect the Sun is modulated by the
planets with a special emphasis on Jupiter. Thanks to Carl Smith who has
recently left us we have new knowledge that significantly adds to Jose and
Landscheidt's work.

"First perusal of evidence has converted many people from
being skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming, to believing it is
true - this has happened to many scientists, and happened to me,
watching Al Gore's film. However, further perusal of evidence can
result in another U-turn from which people do not change their opinions
again - since by now they have probed the science to the bottom and there
is no more known key science left to probe.
