Renewables just aren't worth it - Josh 281

 

Many thanks to Bjorn Lomborg for his help in putting this Infotoon together. There are also a couple of short but excellent videos on Bill Gates blog here - worth retweeting/sharing widely.

NOAAgate - Josh 280

The temperature adjustments story has been brewing for weeks principally due to the many posts at 'RealScience' but taken up by others, for example, Paul Homewood, see here and here. Judith Curry has a great post about it here, as does Anthony here.

H/t to Real Science/StevenGoddard for suggesting including Toto.

Enviro-mental - Josh 279

Lots of stories (here and here) about Greens flying round the globe and generally living it large - they have no shame really do they.

Liberally Dim - Josh 278

We did of course already know that the UK was planning on using diesel to compensate for renewable energy fluctuations, cartoon here. But Ed Davey's latest bright idea is to use diesel for just about any kind of hiccup in energy. And, of course, to have us, the public, pay for the privilege. See here, here and here.

Proper mad.

Happy Birthday 97% - Josh 277

There is so much to cartoon this week it is difficult to choose what to start with. I went for Brandon's brilliant 97% data discovery. Apparently all you need to do if you want to be part of the 97% consensus that global warming is a real and present danger is just add 'Global Warming' or 'Climate Change' somewhere near or in your paper. So let's go the extra mile and help these guys get published - let's give them a sticker!

Bob Ward's tweets today have been a revelation - historic even - see the Bish's post here. Happily they have coincided with a couple of Antarctic stories that deserve cartooning. Thanks, Bob!

It's a knock out - Josh 274

Apparently one single post by Judith Curry needs thirty alarmist posts to rebut it, so says Victor Venema. Yes, her arguments are that good and alarmism is that weak!

Ye olde techniques - Josh 273

 

I thought the National Review article, posted here of course, was worth a cartoon. H/t Rick Cina in the comments for the peer-reviewed critiques of Mann's hockey sticks.

Goodbye to all that - Josh 272

As many know I have a bit of a 'glass half full' opinion on the state of climate science and with the recent IPCC offerings along with activist mutterings of 'we are all heading for a cliff' type alarmism and calls for Climate Scientist strike action, I imagined this view of where we/they are at.

Happy Easter!

Round the bend - Josh 271

It looks like Lew & crew want to continue to debate the merits of his paper.

H/t and many thanks to Jo Nova for the 'flushes itself' idea.

Ed Davey leads the charge to nowhere - Josh 269

H/t Richard Drake and Robin Guenier for describing Ed Davey, our lost and confused Energy & Climate Change Secretary, as a Solitary Lemming - see here. Ed has been saying that "Britain must lead the international battle against global warming". It's not been a good week for the Lib Dems has it.

Update on Apr 5, 2014 by Josh

As you may know the idea that Lemmings jump over cliffs is a made-up myth. Which is kinda the point of the toon ;-)

The Alarmists return - Josh 268
