Huge mirrors in the sky will be the future of tackling climate change, claim scientists

Following their reporting on the IPCC and Greenpeace affair, there is today more evidence that The Independent is prepared to present a less one-sided view on climate change as they report on pole-to-pole flights which are showing that greenhouse gas concentrations are less homogeneously distributed than previously assumed by the climate models.

"It's not so much to prove the models wrong, it's to help the modellers do the right thing by giving them the data to show them whether they are right or not," said David Fahey of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, one of the hundreds of scientists working on the Hippo project.

There seems to be a concerted effort to talk about Geo-engineering at the moment. Just watching Newsnight, which has Susan Watt's dismissing the Solar Minimum as irrelevant before segueing seamlessly into a studio discussion (v excitedly) about Geo-engineering.

It really is something when the bloke interviewed from Greenpeace is the voice of sanity.

Must read:

On The Hijacking of the American Meteorological Society (AMS)

We AMS members have allowed a small group of AMS administrators, climate modelers, and CO2 warming sympathizers to maneuver the internal workings of our society to support AGW policies irrespective of what our rank-and-file members might think. This small organized group of AGW sympathizers has indeed hijacked our society.

To understand what is really occurring with regards to the AGW question one must now bypass the AMS, the mainstream media, and the mainline scientific journals. They have mostly been preconditioned to accept the AGW hypothesis and, in general, frown on anyone not agreeing that AGW is, next to nuclear war, our society’s most serious long range problem.

Joe Romm, Think Progress (fromerly known as Climate Progress)

has a pop at Mark Lynas as well....

"So why have Andy Revkin and Mark Lynas used their blogs to attack the IPCC? Because the source of the obvious conclusion was apparently unacceptable to them — Greenpeace.

As an ironic aside, the “source” of this attack on the IPCC is one of the most thoroughly debunked and discredited disinformers Steven McIntyre. So I’m wondering whether we can now ignore Revkin and Lynas because they have used an infinitely less credible source than Greenpeace"

The Bob has a new hit piece in the Grauniad aiming at the Daily Mail:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/jun/16/daily-mail-climate-change?intcmp=122

And it points out that DMGT "achieved Carbon Trust Standard certification for all UK operations, including all subsidiaries" at the end of last year, for "good practice in carbon measurement, management and reduction".

..No company that wants to remain profitable can afford to ignore the risks of climate change.

Or the costs imposed by climate change legislation. What the Bob appears to have missed is the Climate Change Levy imposed on businesses. That would add nearly 0.5p/kWh to the Daily Mail's electricity bill but tax relief can be claimed to offset those green costs. The Bob seems to have confused altruism for normal opex reduction measures.

Standbye generators will need to run intermittently to stop them gumming up with the biofuels from a long standstill. similar problems facing seasonal agricultural equipment, in the past combines etc tanks were filled at storage to prevent condensation in the fuel tank.Now we are faced with a total drain of the whole system because the biofuel in the diesel will go off and sulphur which helped prevent this problem is being removed.
