Palin charges Obama response to oil disaster is driven by BP contributions - Center for Responsive Politics: "The $71,051 that Obama received during the 2008 election cycle was entirely from BP employees" and constituted under 0.01% of his total contribut

My critique of malaria paper, media coverage STILL holds up

The main subjects of my recent analysis — The non-hype about climate change (and malaria) — have chosen either to support my key conclusions or not refute them.

NYT opinion blogger Andy Revkin, whose challenge to cover the original Nature paper led to my first post, opens his follow up:

As Arctic sea ice shrinks faster than 2007, NSIDC director Serreze says, "I think it's quite possible" we could "break another record this year." - Watts and Goddard seem in denial: "We are still about six weeks away from anything interesting happening in

The big climate news up north is the Arctic double stunner:  Sea ice extent (area) is now below 2007 levels, while the even more important metric of ice volume hit a record low for March (according to the Polar Science Center).

Data from both the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) show Arctic sea ice extent shrinking below the level of 2007 at a rapid pace:
