Final 'forensic' UK report on emails vindicates climate science and research underlying the Hockey Stick - Muir Russell investigation "did not find any evidence of behavior that might undermine the conclusions of the IPCC" and says of CRU, "Their rigor and

On the allegation of withholding temperature data, we find that CRU was not in a position to withhold access to such data or tamper with it.

On the allegation of biased station selection and analysis, we find no evidence of bias.

The overall implication of the allegations was to cast doubt on the extent to which CRU's work in this area could be trusted and should be relied upon and we find no evidence to support that implication.

If you're bored …

… here's an inane online poll on ClimateGate:

Are you satisfied with the British panel's conclusion that while 'Climategate' scientists were not always forthcoming, their science was sound?

New clean air rule to help tame coal plant monster

Our guest blogger (via WR) is Frank O'Donnell, president of Clean Air Watch.

Yesterday, the Obama administration proposed a sweeping plan to reduce power plant emissions that cross state lines and kill tens of thousands of Americans every year. The proposed Clean Air Transport Rule replaces the Bush administration's so-called "clean air interstate rule" (CAIR) that was shot down by the courts because it permitted so much interstate emission trading that even some power companies filed...

BP CEO Hayward flies to Arab Emirates to seek bailout

BP CEO Tony Hayward has flown to Abu Dhabi today, TP reports, possibly to raise funds and secure new investors from the region as his company's stocks continue to plummet as a result of their oil disaster:

BP's embattled CEO flew to the wealthy emirate of Abu Dhabi to meet officials amid speculation the oil giant is looking to raise cash to cover clean up costs from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Chief Executive Tony Hayward arrived in the Emirati capital Tuesday and would be staying "a...

Why aren't tea parties demanding that the government hold BP accountable on behalf of taxpayers?

Tea Party activists' self-proclaimed mission is to demand lower taxes. TEA, in fact, stands for Taxed Enough Already. As a part of this anti-tax crusade, the Tea Party has vehemently opposed comprehensive health reform, clean energy legislation, and even mandatory garbage collection.

Given that these protesters take their name from the Boston Tea Party, which was organized around protesting an unfair tax benefit given to a massive British corporation, and that British oil giant BP's ...

NSIDC: In June, Arctic sea ice saw lowest extent and fastest rate of decline in the satellite record

This year will almost certainly set the record for lowest Arctic ice volume ever recorded (see "When things were rotten").  But whether it will set the less important — but more visible — record for sea ice extent is less certain.  You can see how close 2010 is to 2007 now.

On the one hand, the National Snow and Ice Data Center just issued their July report, which notes, "June saw the return of the Arctic dipole anomaly, an atmospheric pressure pattern that contributed to the record sea...

Joe Bastardi, worst long-range forecaster on Earth, asserts "The coming cooling of the planet overall will return it to where it was in the '60s, '70s, and '80s." - More BS: "The vast majority of the long-range private sector meteorologists can see what i

Joe Bastardi is "the chief hurricane and long-range forecaster at AccuWeather and a national bodybuilding competitor."  I can't speak to his physical strength but he bench-presses a staggering amount of anti-science disinformation (see "Joe Bastardi can't read a temperature anomaly map").

To switch metaphors, he has now snowed his readers with a blizzard of inane predictions.

At StageCollege.com, his piece, "The Weather Year of a Lifetime," argues he will never live to see another summer...
