Ian C -
I have met and interviewed the man responsible for Finnish climate data and was extremely impressed by his integrity and openness. He has an impeccable CV and a background that is hard to fault.
The idea that people like him are faking data is a non-starter.
And generally speaking when serial killers are caught, their neighbors identify them as the "nicest people in the world"



How true! Sad but true!
Take a look at the insanity:
Cyprus is the latest domino in the EU crisis:

Zypern soll Geldstrafe zahlen
The entire EU is heading for bankruptcy despite all the soviet style central planning in Brussels.
Let me re-phrase that to
because of all the soviet style central planning.
No sane/rational thinking person would be able to cook up such nonsense unless you look it up in Marx` or Engels` communist bibles how to **** up an entire continent.
The only thing these non-elected bureaucrats can come up with is to punish Cyprus on behalf of the UN`s IPCC for not implementing "green energy" quota...which an already bankrupt Cyprus is supposed to pay for with tax subsidies.
Energiegesetz: Zypern soll Geldstrafe zahlen - SPIEGEL ONLINE
Die EU-Kommission will eine Geldstrafe gegen das Land verhängen. Der Grund: Zypern habe ein Gesetz zur Förderung erneuerbarer Energien nicht umgesetzt
Dem krisengeschüttelten Zypern droht eine Geldstrafe von der EU: Rund
11.400 Euro täglich will die EU-Kommission dem Land abverlangen, weil es ein EU-Gesetz zur Förderung erneuerbarer Energien nicht umgesetzt hat.
Auch Polen bringt die EU-Kommission wegen des Gesetzes zur Förderung erneuerbarer Energien vor den EuGH. Hier schlägt sie eine Geldstrafe von
täglich rund 133 200 Euro vor
So already bankrupt Cyprus is supposed to pay a "fine" to the tune of 11 400 Euros per day...and Poland is supposed to pay 133 200 Euros per day.
That`s how the green energy money-suction machine works.
No matter where you live in Europe the EU sucks up the
green "Carbon" money through your local government and the IPCC that got these idiots to sign the Kyoto accord gets it`s share. From there a smaller share goes to countries in Africa where people shit in the middle of a village, or the like, mostly countries ruled by corrupt dictators who sit in the UN "human rights" and on the environment council. And all they do with all that money is buy more Kalashnikovs for their military which keeps them in power. All the while communist China is burning coal and oil like gangbusters, sells cheap Kalashnikov replicas made in China and sells solar panels made in communist China for Obama`s green power dream. The more we get punished by the IPCC for burning oil, the easier it is for the Chinese to get it..Example Canada...
You can see that flag flying in our Alberta oil fields already because Obama keeps blocking the Keystone Pipeline from Alberta to Texas:

Get used to China in the oil sands: former diplomat
'We can't develop the oil sands alone.'
The survey was conducted in July, before CNOOC Ltd.’s $15.1-billion proposal for Nexen Inc. was approved. Albertans may be more averse now than they were then to Chinese investment, but Houlden says Chinese state-owned companies aren’t a lot different than other foreign operators in Alberta.
and China`s energy cost portion in manufacturing is as a result a fraction of the cost as it is in the USA today.
If global warming was real then we would not need economic sanctions or military action to topple these dictators, all we would have to do is keep driving our SUV`s to ruin them and China....while our crop yields in Canada for sure, would skyrocket at the same time.
Canada does not need any help to develop it`s own resources. There just aren`t enough Canadians to burn all that oil, gas and coal and use up all the hydro-electric power we produce..
But we would like it very much if we would not have to wait for a truck to bring us oranges from California and instead could grow them locally...so if AGW was real most Canadians would do their best to get a big "CO2 warming bang" out of our buck along with our oil revenue$..!
For over a decade now winter has been starting earlier and hangs in longer...Starting in early October lasting till the end of May. We had to genetically engineer our ("Durham") wheat so that it is frost resistant. Else we would have had to import wheat for the last 15 years from the US and Australia, countries that can harvest 2 crops every year. The climate has gotten so cold that there are no more apple or other fruit tree orchards any more in central Canada and the only areas that remain, where we can grow vegetables outdoors are along a on a short and narrow stretch of warm pacific coast in southern BC and a few spots in the Okanagan valley. You can`t even grow grapes that are fit for regular wine in the Okanagan any more. Since ~ 10 years they developed a "frost" wine when the grapes froze on the branch,... just so they don`t go bankrupt like the farmers in central Canada which had to re-locate their grow-ops into heated indoor acres on trays.
All the while useful idiots like "Saigon" keep posting these idiotic temperature graphs that the IPCC discarded years ago.
They have been holding meetings in Hobart Australia since February to
"explain" in September why them temps have stalled despite the CO2 increase.
In Canada we are quite sure that here the temperature increase has not just stalled but took a pretty severe dive in the last 10 years
