"Please see here (PDF) a site with meteorological information updated to August 2009. All temperatures are shown in degrees Celsius. In the maps showing the geographical pattern of temperatures, the period 1998-2006 is used as reference period. The reason for comparing with this recent period instead of the official WMO 'normal' period 1961-1990, is that the latter period is affected by the relatively cold period 1945-1980. Almost any comparison with such a low average value will therefore appear as high or warm, and it will be difficult to decide if modern surface air temperatures are increasing or decreasing. Comparing with a more recent period overcomes this problem.

In the other diagrams the thin line represents the monthly global average value, and the thick line indicate a simple running average, in most cases a 37-month average. The year 1979 has been chosen as starting point in several of the diagrams, as this roughly corresponds to both the beginning of satellite observations and the onset of the late 20th century warming period. Surface air temperatures August 2009 was generally low at northern mid latitudes. Also southern Africa experienced relatively low temperatures this month. In contrast, equatorial Pacific Ocean, northern Argentina and Australia were relatively warm.

In the Arctic, most of the Arctic had temperatures near or below the 1998-2006 average. Only northern Canada and parts of Greenland were relatively warm. In the Antarctic, most of the eastern part of the continent was relatively cold in August 2009, while parts of the peninsula and the region around the Ross Sea and ajoining land areas were relatively warm"

Riitasointuja New Yorkin ilmastokokouksessa

Juopa kehittyneiden ja kehitysmaiden (tai kuten nykyään eufemistisesti sanotaan:"kehittyvien maiden") välillä on ilmeinen, kuka maksaa ? Matti Vanhasen
mukaan, jos Kööpenhaminassa joulukuussa ei päästä sopimukseen "hukka meidät perii".
Epäilemättä perii, ilmastouskovien uskottavuuden !

"Scientific uncertainty does not prevent politicians from acting on climate change, shows a dissertation from Lund University.

- Politicians and officials generally find ways to get around the scientific uncertainty, at least according to the material I studied, "says political scientist Asa Knaggård who has examined the Swedish climate policy from 1975 until 2007"

Tanska huono tuulivoiman "mallimaa" Obamalle

Valkoinen Talo on yrittänyt perustella tuulivoiman rakentamista mm. Tanskan esimerkin voimalla. Mutta vaikka Tanska tuulisen meren ympäröimänä tasaisena maana teoriassa on ihanteellinen tuulivoimamaa, ei kaikki ole sujunut, kuten tuulivoiman kannattajat haluavat antaa ymmärtää. "Virallisen" 20 prosentin sijaan huonoimmillaan vain nelisen prosenttia sähköstä saadaan tuulivoimaloista ja tanskalaiset maksavat Euroopan korkeinta hintaa sähköstään. Myöskään väite hiilidioksidipäästöjen vähenemisestä ei pidä paikkaansa, nettoväheneminen tarkasteluvuonna johtui vain siitä, että Tanska osti huomattavan osan sähköstään ulkoa, Nordpoolista, päästöt menivät siis muualle
Scandinaviaan. Ilmakehä on kuitenkin yhteinen, hurskasta hämäystä kaikki tyyni ja propellihattujen hommaa teknisessä mielessä.

"Confronted by meddling academics who analyzed the Spanish situation and laid out the monitory lesson of its green-jobs regime, the White House quickly pivoted and said, uh, look to Denmark and Germany, yeah, that's it, Denmark.

OK. That's been done — by the establishment think tank CEPOS, and you can read it here. The answer is that the president's (repeat) claim that "Denmark produces almost 20 percent of their electricity through wind power" is false. Denmark actually produces much less of its own electricity from wind, as low as 4 percent depending on the year, with the recent average of 9.7 percent. This despite a massive buildout of what they flatteringly call the "wind carpet," on some of the most hospitable terrain for wind power in the world.

It is also in return for its households paying the highest eletricity rates in Europe. With a substantially lower per-capita energy use. That means, to get half of what Obama seeks, the U.S. would have to carpet itself twice over — which means lots of windmills where birds fly and Kennedys live — and pay Danish-style rates"

Self-censorship of climate skepticism in the Finnish media

An email from Hannu Tanskanen [hannu_tanskanen@yahoo.com]. With a few grammatical corrections. See his blog here (in a mixture of Finnish and English)

Finland has always been described as "model pupil" in the European Union. Not long ago the EU tried to issue a "directive" prohibiting critisism of "climate change", fortunately without success. But Finland, more papal than Pope himself, has applied this rule for a long time already.

In 2007 our Centre Party prime minister declared, that "it is time for the climate critics to shut their mouths". Consequences of this statement were soon obvious. Since 1989 and regularly between 2003-2008, I had been a free-lance science writer in Scandinavia's biggest popular technology publication TM Tekniikan Maailma -- and where just recently I wrote a large article on climate change, where I Iet two leading critical scientists express their opinions.

The editor in chief of TM changed in that same year and he fired me immediately without any explanation. Also the leading daily newspaper, HS Helsingin Sanomat, where I have had articles on science pages since 2003 refused to take any more of my articles. They even refused to publish my opinion on their readers' pages. Orwelliania was in 1984, but in the Finnish media it is in 2009 !
