There’s a most interesting comment on Anthony Watts’ blog:

Two of the most prominent claims of global warming denialists have been proven wrong.
This raises two very serious issues. First, it’s certainly possible to “run the numbers” in order to check the truth or falsehood of their claims, but they didn’t bother to do so. I have. For them to make the claims they’ve made, without even doing the work require to find out, is fundamentally dishonest.

Two of the most prominent claims of global warming denialists have proven to be utterly false.
I’ve completed processing the GHCN data for the northern hemisphere. This project was undertaken to investigate two denialist claims: 1st, that the dramatic reduction in the number of reporting stations around 1990 introduced a false warming trend; 2nd, that the adjustments applied to station data also introduce a false warming trend.

Steven Goddard doesn’t know when to quit. Sad.
But far more interesting than showing him the error of his ways, is to take a look at northern hemisphere snow cover. Here’s the weekly snow cover since satellite observations began:
and here’s the weekly snow cover anomaly:

Anthony Watts has a new post by Steven Goddard about northern hemisphere snow cover. There’s plenty of snow in the northern hemisphere right now — an exceptional amount. This last week saw the 2nd-highest weekly average ever recorded in the data available from the Rutgers University Global Snow Lab. As we’re well aware, an exceptional event doesn’t mean there’s a trend. But Steven Goddard thinks there is. He even shows this graph:
and tells us that wintertime snow cover is increasing at 100,000 km^2 per year.

A recent story by Fred Pearce in the February 9th online edition of the Guardian (“Victory for openness as IPCC climate scientist opens up lab doors”) covers some of the more publicized aspects of the last 14 years of my scientific career. I am glad that Mr. Pearce’s account illuminates some of the non-scientific difficulties I have faced. However, his account also repeats unfounded allegations that I engaged in dubious professional conduct. In a number of instances, Mr Pearce provides links to these allegations, but does not provide a balanced account of the rebuttals to them. Nor does he give links to locations where these rebuttals can be found. I am taking this opportunity to correct Mr. Pearce’s omissions, to reply to the key allegations, and to supply links to more detailed responses.

Over the last few weeks or so the UK Guardian (who occasionally reprint our posts) has published a 12-part series about the stolen CRU emails by Fred Pearce that are well below the normal Guardian standards of reporting. We delineate some of the errors and misrepresentations below. While this has to be seen on a backdrop of an almost complete collapse in reporting standards across the UK media on the issue of climate change, it can’t be excused on the basis that the Mail or the Times is just as bad. As a long-time Guardian reader and avid Guardian crossword puzzle solver, I’m extremely unhappy writing this post, but the pathologies of media reporting on this issue have become too big to ignore.
