Article by Reuters – China approves massive new coal capacity despite pollution fears – lots of numbers to digest. Quote – “The replacement of coal hasn’t been as fast as expected, and other sources of energy are not only expensive but also face a lot of technical and environmental problems,” said UOB’s Helen Lau, senior … Continue reading Renewables not slowing expansion of coal mining by China
Not everybody is putting up with heat waves. – China’s Extreme Cold Snaps Records – Apart from easy and simple purchase, it viagra uk no prescription ensures the low prices. Doctors should be made available either by themselves or provide on-call 24 / 7 coverage to respond to urgent or emergency situations or problems in … Continue reading Severe winter affects China, Northern India and now Bangladesh
News out of the Bonn climate talks sounds familiar – “Beijing lashes Canberra as carbon talks stall” then from the Guardian – “Bonn climate talks end in discord and disappointment” and USAToday asks – “Is China poor? Key question at climate talks” Amidst all the posturing rhetoric it might be useful to see some facts … Continue reading China accuses Australia as Bonn climate talks founder
After comparing land only CRUT3 vs the shiny new CRUT4 for some Australian grid boxes I examined again grid box areas in East China, Russia, Africa and also North America which I have checked in past years for trend differences between CRUT data and AMSU satellite data from UAH. For map of grid box areas. … Continue reading Benchmarking CRUT3 and CRUT4 land only grid box temperature trends against AMSU lower troposphere data for East China, Russia, Africa and North America
Remember from the previous post, that Jones et al 2008 in their section 3.3. Comparisons with SST Data, say. “As it is difficult to develop a network of specifically rural sites in China, we now compare the CHINA-LI and CRUTEM3v series with one based on HadSST2 [Rayner et al., 2006] for the region (20–45 deg … Continue reading Examining in closer detail Jones et al 2008 eastern China land/SST grid box where they conclude urban warming at ~0.1 degrees per decade
So sceptics have been correct for decades. Yes you have to pinch yourself, the old canard so long clung to by the IPCC, that the urban influence in large area gridded data is “an order of magnitude less than the warming seen on a century timescale” is now severely compromised. This medicine www.cerritosmedicalcenter.com/pid-6361 buy cheap … Continue reading History made as Jones et al 2008 paper admits huge urban warming in IPCC flagship CRUT3 gridded data over China
Ren et al 2008 measure urban warming in a north China grid box 33 to 43 degrees North and 108 to 120 degrees East by comparing temperature trends in groups of stations of different population size for the period 1961-2000. For a concise summary of the Ren et al 2008 paper, Urbanization Effects on Observed … Continue reading Chinese climate scientists tactfully tell the IPCC that surface air temperature (SAT) trends over north China include a large component of urban warming
Now that the NASA-UAH satellite temperature data extends over a clear 30 years 1979-2008, this is a timely opportunity to check again the old IPCC canard that the various global temperature datasets are in agreement. In this case I compare the Hadley Centre CRUT3 land only data 1979-2008 with the NASA MSU LT data from … Continue reading Huge Urban Heat Island UHI contamination in Hadley Centre-Jones-IPCC CRUT3 land temperature data over Eastern China
A recent paper discussing long term temperature trends in China presents a graphic of century long trends including the Jones data. “ZHAO Zongci, DING Yihui, LUO Yong, and WANG Shaowu, “Recent Studies on Attributions of Climate Change in China” , Acta Meteorologica Sinica 2005, Vol 19, 389-400.” The caption refers to four trends from various … Continue reading Is massive UHI warming in China distorting Jones et al gridded T data ?
Is China spying on our various defence related projects. Could be a centre for spying on Woomera and the new Oz Space Industry HQ and operations – not to mention submarine and RAN ship building, Jindalee (JORN) “over the horizon radar network” at Edinburgh – Jindalee Operational Radar Network en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jindalee_Operational_Radar_Network RAAF reconnaissance operations out of … Continue reading Huge Chinese Consulate in Adelaide – are they spying
