Porter's idea of Wilderness?
Note readers comments closed after five hours of them saying what you said.

Thanks, Clipe. How about this bit:
"This is of serious concern to the Star, but as Porter left for a wilderness canoe trip immediately after her column was published, we could not talk with her about these issues until this week."
Well, of course she did. It's what the average person does straight after being utterly discredited. Unless they have just bought a ticket to a country in South America without an extradition treaty.
I note that she also explains that she had numerous interactions with the columnist in putting together her evaluation, but one chat was enough with Ezra Levant. Very funny, IMO. I'm guessing that Ezra said "you have the evidence, take it or leave it." Meanwhile, Catherine no doubt wanted to have several discussions about "nuances."
Ezra is a gun lawyer, they were potentially about to get sued to Kingdom Come. So we got this no doubt carefully vetted bilge.
It's well worth a read, because the author is forced to list multiple untruths and breaches of editorial policy, but can't quite bring herself to say that it was a disgusting, unethical, pack of lies. Compounding her anguish is that the columnist might be a "bad parent," which has her sitting right on top of a politically correct barbed-wire fence. Ouch!

Great news about the new members of the GWPF Board. They are amassing a lot of firepower there.
As for news from Australia, you seem to get the headlines quite regularly. I can't imagine that the arcania of Australian politics are of interest here.
The Government has two problems in implementing sensible environmental policies, both of which will be familiar to UK readers.
The first is a bunch of wets within the parties who must have signed the wrong application form. They should be in Labor (sic) or the Greens.
The second is a gullible and sloppy MSM, cheerleaded by the ABC, which has never read a Greenpeace press release that they didn't fervently believe in.
That is all at the macro level. Happy to provide info on specifics if anyone asks.

I think Stornaway is in there too but Heathrow probably isn't. I think the list changes and so does the sum total - how else would they manage to create more of a slope every year?

Leeming 1971-2015
Valley 1931-2015
Eskdalemuir 1931-2015
Many of the stations were in the World weather station list I posted earlier. Note No mention of Camborne in GISS station list!
Are they extrapolating all the rest? "Filling in"
There must be a definitive list available somewhere, or is this list correct and the GISS data base a load of garbage?
cheers

Sorry Joanna, please share your comments and info about Australia , Abbott ;wind subsidies abolition, BOM fiddling ... plenty of space here.
- I'm not writing a blog, just quickly sharing raw info and quotes, often live.
- Hence bullet point style.
- Yep harder to read than narrative,but forcing people to process it themselves point by point makes them pass it thru their brains.

another update from Levant so I copied it over to the Existing Thread ..maybe Bish will open a new thread
Catherine Porter vs. Ezra Levant: Toronto Star's "mea culpa" is admirable, but it left out something important -- and disturbing
