New York Times: Gov. Rick Perry of Texas and Senator James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma are among the most vocal Republican skeptics of the science that burning fossil fuels contributes to global warming, but a new study to be released Thursday found that their states would be among the biggest economic winners under a regulation proposed by President Obama to fight climate change. The study, conducted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Rhodium Group, both research organizations, concluded that...

Climate models on the mark, Australian-led research finds

Sydney Morning Herald: A relatively cool period in the El Nino cycles is masking a global heat build-up. A common refrain by climate sceptics that surface temperatures have not warmed over the past 17 years, implying climate models predicting otherwise are unreliable, has been refuted by new research led by James Risbey, a senior CSIRO researcher. Setting aside the fact the equal hottest years on record 2005 and 2010 fall well within the past 17 years, Dr Risbey and fellow researchers examined claims -- including...
