Richard Tol makes a very good point so I have changed the title from 'Predicting the past' to 'We told you so'.

A few sites I've stumbled across recently....
Richard Tol makes a very good point so I have changed the title from 'Predicting the past' to 'We told you so'.
"Eastleigh’s high profile MP Chris Huhne appearing today along with his former wife Vasiliki ‘Vicky’ Pryce on charges of perverting the course of justice in relation to a 2003 speeding conviction." reports the Eastleigh News.
We are not allowed to say much as there is a gagging order on the proceedings, but you can comment on the online story, linked above, but be aware "Comments which fail to praise Mr Huhne may be deleted!!"
Via numerous mentions on Twitter.
Well, that didn't last long. The Eastleigh News story has now been removed.
I also took the opportunity to correct my spelling ;-)
Donna Laframboise received three USB sticks with draft versions of most chapters of the IPCC's AR5. You can access them at Donna's site here.

A traditional song to sing over the festive period, with words by Anthony Watts and Josh.
Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year!
Yesterday there was another RMetS event, this time on "Quantifying Uncertainties in Climate Science".
Dr Tamsin Edwards, a seasoned BishopHill contributor (and whose Twitter name is @flimsin) spoke at the meeting. It was an interesting afternoon, great to meet people from the Met Office, Hadley Centre etc, and a treat to meet up afterwards in the pub with a few BishopHill readers.
I drew some cartoon notes, see below, but due to the technical nature of the talks, they can only cover a small part of what was discussed. Hopefully others will add their thoughts and recollections.

For anyone who lives or works in London and who would like a calendar sans postage, I will be in South kensington on the 12th December. We can arrange a venue and have a Christmassy drink!
The Calendars have arrived and, I am pleased to say, are looking terrific - the printer has done an outstanding job.
We have already started to print out labels and will be posting the first batch tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who has ordered one. I do have some left so buy now for Christmas!

The infamous 2006 meeting where the BBC invited mostly activists to help decide that the climate science was settled. Richard D North's recollections are here.
Yesterday's joint meeting of the Royal Meteorological Society and Royal Geographical Society on Communicating Climate Science was held at Imperial College, London. It was well attended with excellent speakers and some interesting discussion about the difficulties of communicating the end of the world... fortunately Josh was there to draw cartoon notes.
