Arctic Ice melt media misinformation retracted
25 Aug 08
The Register reporter Steve Goddard is admitting today that his article last week on melting Arctic Sea Ice (Arctic ice refuses to melt as ordered) is incorrect.
Too bad the damage has already been done.
In his article, Goddard claimed that National Snow and Ice Data Center plot of Arctic Sea Ice Extent was wrong and that,
"The Arctic did not experience the meltdowns forecast by NSIDC and the Norwegian Polar Year Secretariat. It didn't even come close. Additionally, some current graphs and press releases from NSIDC seem less than conservative. There appears to be a consistent pattern of overstatement related to Arctic ice loss."

Capitol Hill candidates urging inaction on global warming
25 Aug 08
"The science behind "global warming" doesn't really explain why the past models haven't been accurate, or why there are holes big enough to drive a Mack Truck through in the current models. There is currently no support for the contention that it's caused by humans," says Republican congressional candidate David Crowley.
And Crowley is joined by many other wanna-be politicians with their heads firmly planted in the sand when it comes to the realities of human-caused global warming.
The National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) has a project up and running for the Fall's House of Representatives races asking candidates 5 questions on the environment including one on global warming.
