[R]equests that an objective scientific process be established, devoid of political or financial agendas, to help prevent subversion of the scientific process and the intolerance towards scientific disagreement that pervades the climate issue.
A huge outcry of scientific criticism accompanied the recent pronouncement of the Obama Administration on climate science, the CCSP Report. It fell like a hot potato into a black hole of irrelevance, particularly because it "systematically and repeatedly misrepresented the science of disasters and climate change."
The main science publications are finally publishing articles in dissent. The Journal of Geophysical Research published a peer-reviewed article which largely disproves man-made global warming.
The climate activists may be turning on their own. When the venerable James Hansen spoke out against Cap & Trade, his name has become poison. The mainstream media is now pointing out the trap the activists have made for themselves: their bills like Cap & Trade will be ineffective without India and China going along, and without convincing them any such legislation will be self-destructive of their movement, their eco-Vietnam.
Now the NOAA has admitted what has been reported in his blog and is fairly obvious to anyone looking at temperature charts: global warming has flatlined for the past decade. See chart.
They claim such a decade long event is rare; a little calculation found it a 5% likelihood. The NOAA goes on to put out a test for AGW; if the flatlne goes out as far as 15 years, it essentially disproves all the climate models.
