Global warming denier Jim Inhofe: ‘Fewer and fewer’ senators believe in climate change ‘hoax’ By Travis GettysMonday, January 13, 2014 10:41 EDT The U.S. Senate’s leading global warming denier says “fewer and fewer” of his colleagues believe in climate change. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) told WABC-AM that he was initially intrigued when former Vice President Al Gore began warning about human-induced climate change but became skeptical after discovering that environmental regulations might prove costly to business. He complained to talk show host Aaron Klein that progressives are using science to enact their “green schemes” agenda. “They don’t get away with it in the eyes of the American people,” Inhofe said. If that is indeed the case, U.S. senators would be breaking with the general trend on climate change. Recent polls have found that Americans increasingly believe that evidence supports global warming caused by human activity, albeit with a sharp partisan divide. Fewer Americans, however, cite global warming as a major threat than those in other countries.

CERES Data Products. Level Descriptions Level 3B: Level 3 data products that are adjusted within their range of uncertainty so as to satisfy known constraints on the climate system (e.g., consistency between average global net TOA flux imbalance and ocean heat storage). Level 3: Data products are the radiative fluxes and cloud properties that are spatially averaged into uniform regional and zonal grids and globally and also temporally averaged into daily, monthly hourly, or monthly means. Level 2: Data products are derived geophysical variables at the CERES footprint resolution as the Level 1B source data. They include the Level 1B parameters, along with the retrieved or computed geophysical variables such as radiative broadband fluxes and their associated MODIS cloud properties. Level 1B: Data products are processed to sensor units.

We’ve often been asked to provide a one stop link for resources that people can use to get up to speed on the issue of climate change, and so here is a first cut.

Unlike our other postings, we’ll amend this as we discover or are pointed to new resources. Different people have different needs and so we will group resources according to the level people start at. For complete beginners: NCAR: Weather and climate basics Center for Climate and Energy Solutions: Global Warming basics Wikipedia: Global Warming NASA: Global Warming update National Academy of Science: America’s Climate Choices (2011) Encyclopedia of Earth: Climate Change CollectionGlobal Warming FAQ (Tom Rees)Global Warming: Man or Myth? There is a new booklet on Climate Literacy from multiple agencies (NOAA, NSF, AAAS) available here (pdf).

The UK Govt. has a good site on The Science of Climate Change (added Sep 2010). Those with some knowledge: The IPCC AR4 Frequently Asked Questions (here (pdf)) are an excellent start. Welcome to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) | CSIRO.
