From todays National Post:
- Sunday marked the coldest Dec. 13 in Edmonton’s history.
- Environment Canada recorded a frigid -46.1 C, or -58.4 C with wind chill, at the Edmonton International Airport at 5 a.m., Environment Canada meteorologist Pierre Lessard said.
- The old record of -36.1 C was set last year, he said.
- “To break a temperature by 10 degrees is very exceptional,” said Lessard.
- Countries like China and India say the industrialised world must make bigger cuts in emissions and help poor nations to fund a shift to greener growth and adapt to a warmer world.
- Richer countries say the developing world's carbon emissions are growing so fast it must sign up for curbs in emissions to prevent dangerous levels of warming.
It appears there is a disconnect between the virtual, modeled world of AGW and the reality of observed, global climate temperatures. Perhaps we just need to start modifying the data sooner, like at the thermometer. Perhaps some university somewhere can get a grant to do this.
Update:
Three must read posts from today: the first characterizes environmentalism as zombie politics; the second has some interesting conjecture on the likelihood that Climategate is the product of an insider leak and why; and the last is a glimpse into the Copenhagen fairy tale.
