Each time you read a sentence about skeptics 'muddying' the debate-recognize it for what it is-an arrogant claim that the public are too dumb to follow the science.
ICECAP, International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project, is the portal to all things climate for elected officials and staffers, journalists, scientists, educators and the public. It provides access to a new and growing global society of respected scientists and journalists that are not deniers that our climate is dynamic (the only constant in nature is change) and that man plays a role in climate change through urbanization, land use changes and the introduction of greenhouse gases and aerosols, but who also believe that natural cycles such as those in the sun and oceans are also important contributors to the global changes in our climate and weather. We worry the sole focus on greenhouse gases and the unwise reliance on imperfect climate models while ignoring real data may leave civilization unprepared for a sudden climate shift that history tells us will occur again, very possibly soon.
Skeptics Handbook spreads en masse: 150,000 copies!
A donor in the US felt The Skeptics Handbook was so worthwhile that they have paid to print and post 150,000 copies of the booklet through Heartland.
The Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change was created to disseminate factual reports and sound commentary on new developments in the world-wide scientific quest to determine the climatic and biological consequences of the ongoing rise in the air's CO2 content. It meets this objective through weekly online publication of its CO2 Science magazine, which contains editorials on topics of current concern and mini-reviews of recently published peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, books, and other educational materials. In this endeavor, the Center attempts to separate reality from rhetoric in the emotionally-charged debate that swirls around the subject of carbon dioxide and global change. In addition, to help students and teachers gain greater insight into the biological aspects of this phenomenon, the Center maintains on-line instructions on how to conduct CO2 enrichment and depletion experiments in its Global Change Laboratory (located in its Education Center section), which allow interested parties to conduct similar studies in their own homes and classrooms.
Science and Public Policy Institute
The Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPI) is a nonprofit institute of research and education dedicated to sound public policy based on sound science. Free from affiliation to any corporation or political party, we support the advancement of sensible public policies for energy and the environment rooted in rational science and economics. Only through science and factual information, separating reality from rhetoric, can legislators develop beneficial policies without unintended consequences that might threaten the life, liberty, and prosperity of the citizenry.
Roy W. Spencer received his Ph.D. in meteorology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1981. Before becoming a Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2001, he was a Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, where he and Dr. John Christy received NASA's Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for their global temperature monitoring work with satellites. Dr. Spencer's work with NASA continues as the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite. He has provided congressional testimony several times on the subject of global warming

Last week the World Wildlife Fund released a report warning that blue fin tuna – one of the most popular fishes we know, especially among sushi lovers - will be completely fished out around the globe in the next three years. ...

But then the East Anglia Climate Research Unit, (the one that the IPCC relies on for data and the one that caused so much scandal lately) is funded by British Petroleum and Shell Oil.
Also Dr. James Hansen, the messiah of global warming, was on the payroll of Lehman Brothers until they went bankrupt.
So why the hypocrisy?
Exxon and business groups have given $23 million to fund science that calls global warming exaggerations into question and $69 BILLION have been spent to evangelize climate hysteria.
No nearly equal, eh?
So why all the outrage with one and not the other?
If getting money from Exxon and Heartland makes Dr. Roy Spenser less the scientist, why doesn't taking money from Lehman Brothers, Goldman-Saches, BP and Shell make others less the scientist too.
By the way, no one (reputable) considers Dr. Spenser compromised. His work on the UAH dataset is still considered the most accurate source of global temperature.
i got one of theses in my back yard tis spring. who dose it belong to?
