Climate Audit's research into Stefan Rahmstorf's smoothing technique continues. There has been a valiant defence of Rahmstorf from CSIRO's Nick Stokes, although it's hard to make substantive defences when your man has misrepresented what he did.
McIntyre also tells us that Rahmstorf's confidence interval calculations are "bogus", with an explanation to follow.
Global temperatures, as measured by satellite, were still low. The IPCC's global warming hypothesis of warming at 2oC per century is therefore still being falsified.
This hasn't put a stop to the nervousness among enthusiasts for AGW. Things just ain't hotting up enough. Cue a new paper which claims that warming will stop till 2020 and then resume again. Expect to hear a lot of this in coming months. Not everyone is impressed with this latest contribution to the scientific literature though.
The world slipped back into El Nino conditions, so we might expect things to warm up in coming months.
There was a wave of intensely cold weather in Peru. The BBC put it down to climate change.
