		<title>U.S. Record Temperatures—A Closer Look</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A new paper that is soon to appear in the journal Geophysical Research Letters finds that across the U.S. daily record high temperatures are being set at about twice the frequency of daily record low temperatures and that this ratio—number of record highs to the number of record lows, has been growing larger over the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Airborne Fraction of Human CO2 Emissions Constant over Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of months back, there was a discussion  taking place over at Joe Romm’s ClimateProgress blog concerning a report that the earth’s ability to take-up atmospheric carbon dioxide was declining. A declining CO2 sink, of course, meant that things climatological were going to be even worse than expected, because a growing proportion of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Normal Year for U.S. Temperatures?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Early last January, when the final 2008 numbers were in for the U.S. annual average temperature, we ran an article titled “U.S. Temperatures 2008: Back to the Future?” in which we noted that “The temperature in 2008 dropped back down to the range that characterized most of the 20th century.” 
2009 seems to be following [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Rational Look at Sea Level Rise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The one thing that is the most certain about climate change, is that no matter what happens, we’ll have to adapt. In fact, even if the climate doesn’t change a lick, adaptations will take place, aimed at improving our overall health and welfare by either better protecting us from, or taking better advantage of, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cato Journal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is how the Cato Journal  describes itself:
Cato Journal is America&#8217;s leading free-market public policy journal. Every issue is a valuable resource for scholars concerned with questions of public policy, yet it is written and edited to be accessible to the interested lay reader. Clive Crook of The Economist has called it &#8220;the most [...]]]></description>

		<title>“AP IMPACT: Statisticians reject global cooling”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is an interesting headline.
We thought the debate is over global warming.
Apparently, not.
Last week, a poll by the Pew Center for the People and the Press showed that there has been an erosion of the percentage of American’s who think that the earth is heating up.
And now, the AP’s Seth Borenstein is out there trying [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baffling Island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a bit of press covering a just-published paper that concludes that the current climate and ecological conditions in a remote lake along the north shore of Canada’s Baffin Island are unique within the past 200,000 years—and anthropogenic global warming is the root cause. Which of course, spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e.
Somehow, that temperatures there were several [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Ups and Downs of Methane</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the indisputable facts in the field of global climate change is that the atmospheric build-up of methane (CH4) has been, over the past few decades, occurring much more slowly than all predictions as to its behavior (Figure 1). Since methane is a particularly potent greenhouse gas (thought to have about 25 times the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Antarctic Ice Melt at Lowest Levels in Satellite Era</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where are the headlines? Where are the press releases?  Where is all the attention?
The ice melt across during the Antarctic summer (October-January) of 2008-2009 was the lowest ever recorded in the satellite history. 
Such was the finding reported last week by Marco Tedesco and Andrew Monaghan in the journal Geophysical Research Letters:
A 30-year minimum [...]]]></description>

		<title>UNEP Report—Deception Starts with the Cover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The United Nations Environmental Programme just released a major report in advance of the Climate Change Summit to take place in Copenhagen this December. The report is intended to “show how the science has been evolving” since the publication of the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report in the spring of 2007.
Although we suppose we shouldn’t judge [...]]]></description>
