Bishop Hill Blogroll
Oct 13, 2010 Blogs I have had a couple of people (quite justifiably) criticise me for not putting them in my blogroll. In essence I've never had a proper blogroll, the relevant section of the site having half a dozen sites that represented a half-hearted attempt to rectify this, plus a few where I'd come across new sites.
Back when I had a hundred readers a day nobody gave a damn whether I linked to them or not, but nowadays these things matter and so I consider myself suitably reprimanded.
I've added the main climate blogs I follow (in no particular order) and will add the political ones over the rest of the day. I've also set up a public Netvibes page (see navigation section) where you can see these sites as feeds.
If I've missed anyone out, do drop me a line.

I'd suggest you include Bob Tisdale's blog; that is one of the most informative blogs around imo.
Oh, there's no pleasing some ;-)
Seconded on Bob Tisdale. A mine of information marred only by the lack of an index. But I am happy to forgive Bob just about anything on the basis of posts like these:
http://bobtisdale.blogspot.com/2009/03/ipcc-20th-century-simulations-get-boost.html
http://bobtisdale.blogspot.com/2009/01/reproducing-global-temperature.html
http://bobtisdale.blogspot.com/2009/07/there-is-nothing-new-about-el-nino.html
To name but a few.
I would highlight this one:
http://bobtisdale.blogspot.com/2010/08/introduction-to-enso-amo-and-pdo-part-1.html
Figure 14 of that post is the most informative figure I have seen in the whole AGW debate, from a process engineering perspective. It says it all.
Peter B - agreed.
Actually pretty much everything Tisdale writes is excellent.
But do take a look at the way the IPCC has mis-attributed the 1910 - 1940 warming to TSI. Remembering that the attribution process is used to tune the GCMs which are used to estimate climate sensitivity to CO2 which is used to justify all manner of things...
And the reconstruction of C20th temperature using natural forcings is a... tour de forcings? Its' a must-read.
Totally OT now, but Christmas is a coming and you really will need to snap up one of THESE:

If only to hurl it against the wall on Boxing Day morning and jump up and down on the shards.
I couldn't see Climate Realists or ICECAP?
http://climaterealists.com/index.php
http://www.icecap.us/
Climate Realists I've just missed. Icecap I've never been able to get their RSS feed to work so I have never followed them. I know they do good stuff, but I don't have time to check sites by hand.
A number of your blog roll links don't work.
That's useful Chev T, but it's a shame that you didn't help BH fix the problem by saying WHICH ONES.
Very good to see Climate Resistance on the roster. I only wish that Ben Pile had more time to post, but when he does, it is interesting stuff.
Thats a long list.
But isn't CO2 Science missing? Thats got the Medieval Warm Project data, and is instigating the Ocean Acidification Project.
Wow - that is one hell of a list - is actually quite a resource. It must have taken quite some time to put together - thank you. Very surprised and please to have been noticed and included!
Verity
I discovered your site yesterday.
Nice to see EURef on the list after a bit of gentle prodding ;-)
But Hot Topic? They don't exactly return the compliment.
E.M.Smith's "Musings from the Chiefio" surely deserves a mention?
I am going to include sites I read, whether they link back or not. I don't see it as important.
Morano's Climate Depot

Your good Bishness,
Could you please also add Alan Cheetham's excellent AppinSys?
http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/
It's one of my most visited web sites and has some excellent articles and resources
http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/WaterVapor.htm
http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/PDO.htm
http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/AMO.htm
http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/climate.aspx
BH - Still no Bob Tisdale. Is there a technical problem with linking to his site? Or is doing this more time-consuming than a non-blogger supposes? If the latter, my apologies for being a nag.
[I was going to wait until all the suggestions had been made and then act accordingly]
I found Ken Gregory's Climate Science "primer" page very good for scientific basics.
http://www.friendsofscience.org/assets/documents/FOS%20Essay/Climate_Change_Science.html
Warren Meyer's Climate Skeptics blog is good too
http://www.climate-skeptic.com/
Shameless plug for my own work
http://www.greenworldtrust.org.uk/Science/Reclaim.htm (links to all my pages)
http://www.greenworldtrust.org.uk/Science/Curious.htm (my own primer)
Others' work listed, including primers by Ric Werme and Jim Peden

I have you on my blogroll, can't return the favor?

Go check.
Self plug.
OK, not the big time but I'm sure I will have a scoop sometime.

@ Bish
I know! I know why you won't link to Tisdale. It's because you don't like graphs isn't it ;-)
Bishop, new zealand climate science coalition please. always good for a read.
Tks

May I second Pharos' suggestion to add www.co2science.org (home site of veteran - since 1982 or earlier - sceptical climate scientist Sherwood Idso and his sons) to your new science blogs list? They don't accept comments or questions, but neither does, for instance, Pielke Snr. Strong on MWP. Includes a short subject index to climate sceptic literature. And of course plenty on the effects of CO2 on plant growth.
No longer regularly updated since the founder's death in 2004 (an event which Phil Jones greeted with an e-mailed sigh of relief), but still containing a wealth of material on surface temperature and sea level change is www.john-daly.com ('still waiting for greenhouse') Particularly interesting is Daly's geographically widespread and predominantly rural selection of temperature data 'what the stations say'. These are plotted onto Excel and mostly end around 2000, but provide a useful station by station (i.e. not averaged) picture of 20thC temperature change worldwide.
May I second Mac's proposal for http://climatedebatedaily.com/? They usually run a bit behind the pack but they sometimes pick up pieces other sites have missed.
