Not a rant, comrade, just telling it like it is.

And just for good measure I note with interest, and I confess, a
degree of satisfaction, that India are pulling out of the IPCC. Could
this be the thin end of the wedge, I wonder? Who knows...

Present some evidence that temperatures are decreasing then


The tree ring data from Siberia that the CRU have shows temperatures
decreasing since the 60s. Or rather it did before they decided to 'hide
the decline'.

Tree ring data doesn't just depend on temperature, rainfall is also
important. I had a few doubts back in the 60s when I heard about tree-ring
width depended just on temperature but thought these guys must know more
than me. Seems now that someone reckons that if you get a really hot, dry
summer, the trees don't grow very much. Who'd 'a' tho't it?


I don't believe for one minute that the temperature is lower now than in
the
60s but how do we know which figures to believe? Which ones are real and
which are being massaged?

There's too many £trillions betting on run away global warming now so the
figures will show it happening regardless...



So did someone from the Climate Centre go up to the Arctic with a large
blowtorch in 2007 and melt the ice? It's not only temperature records that
show the Earth has warmed.
