		<title>“A significant measure of negative feedback to global warming”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A new paper just published in Geophysical Research Letters by Roger Davies and Mathew Molloy of the University of Auckland finds that over the past decade the global average effective cloud height has declined and that “If sustained, such a decrease would indicate a significant measure of negative cloud feedback to global warming.”
Davies and Molloy [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sun:  O Inconstant Star!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As solar activity declines and rate of global warming follows suit, it is natural to wonder whether the two are in some manner related.
Science is all over the map on this one—and is hardly the “settled” stuff our greener friends want us to believe. One school holds that there is little-to-no detectable relationship between solar [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Problem with Proxies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a new paper (in press in the journal Geophysical Research Letters) that presents a lesson that we all should keep in mind—results based on reconstructions of climate phenomena that are based on once or twice removed “proxy” indicators, may not be as reliable as they appear (or as they are presented) to be.

		<title>The Changing Influence of Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since anyone first heard of global warming, we have been told that a warmer world would result in higher moisture levels in the atmosphere, and intensification of the hydrological cycle, and any number of negative consequences could result (e.g., more floods, more intense storms).  A warmer world would almost surely mean more evapotranspiration (ET) [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Response to Skeptical Science&#8217;s “Patrick Michaels: Serial Deleter of Inconvenient Data”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Patrick Michaels
When the battle is being lost, there is a tendency to try to raise a level of distraction to shift the attention away from the desperate situation at hand.  Such is the noise being raised concerning my presentation of the results from a recent series of scientific findings and observations—that lend further [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will Replicated Global Warming Science Make Mann Go Ape?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About 10 years ago, December 20, 2002 to be exact, we published a paper titled “Revised 21st century temperature projections”  in the journal Climate Research. We concluded: 
Temperature projections for the 21st century made in the Third Assessment Report (TAR) of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicate a rise of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Antarctic Temperature Trends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Almost exactly two three years ago, a prominent paper became a media darling as it, according to the alarmist website Real Climate “appeared to reverse the ‘Antarctic cooling’ meme that has been a staple of disinformation efforts for a while now.”
The Nature paper, by  Eric Steig and colleagues, made the cover on  the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter 2011-12: Global Warming to Blame?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No matter what this winter holds in store, someone, somewhere, will blame it on global warming.
Recall that the last two snowy and cold winters in the eastern U.S. were blamed, by some, on greater than normal snowfall amounts across Eurasia during the preceding fall season. And the snowy Eurasian autumns were blamed on the low [...]]]></description>

		<title>“Methane Time Bomb in Arctic Seas – Apocalypse Not”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our headline is taken from New York Times blogger Andy Revkin&#8217;s recent DotEarth post covering the results of a new paper which investigates the relationship between higher temperatures in recent decades and methane release from the Arctic seabed off the Siberian coast.  As you can probably tell from the headline, the research team, led [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big Picture Items</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Oftentimes, World Climate Report focuses on how elevated atmospheric levels of CO2 benefits various organisms or how observed changes in elements of climate in specific regions are not consistent with expectations from numerical climate model experiments.  We could almost feature an article on climate change and hurricanes every week—these kinds of articles are found [...]]]></description>
