Petroleum geologist John Brock asks, "Can we really stop climate change?" (1) and wrongly concludes that we can't. I agree with him that using geo- engineering to reduce global warming is a bad idea but I strongly disagree with the idea that we can't do anything about it.

Those who do not believe the Earth is warming have promoted the "Global Cooling" and the "Coming Ice Age" stories to discredit the scientific evidence.

During the last Presidential Election, John McCain proposed a pragmatic national energy policy based upon good stewardship, good science, and reasonableness. George Will attacked the proposal in his "Questions for McCain" in Newsweek (5/19/08).

Here is an interesting email in the CRU compendium about a solar connection to temperature. I wonder if they ever published this? Naaaa. The nice part is that there is data and mathematica code that can be run to verify the connection.
A very interesting post by Steve MacIntyre about the possible motivations of the person/persons who released the emails and other data from CRU. It may be a whistleblower and not a random hacker. This is far more likely in my opinion.
