Why the arugument that Venus suffered from a runaway greenhouse effect doesn't work.

Steve Goddard at WattsUpWithThat.com does a great job of explaining why the pro AGW argument that Venus is an example of a runaway greenhouse effect, doesn't work.

Highlights:

Nearly 100% albedo (amount of sunlight reflected back to space). Greenhouse effect needs to warm the planet then reflect that heat back to the atmosphere where it is slowed down by GHGs. However if sunlight cannot reach the planet it can not heat it, thus it can not heat the atmosphere.

Earth has 1000x greater atmospheric concentration of water vapor. Water vapor is the most powerful greenhouse gas, yet Venus barely has any.

Venus' atmospheric pressure is 92x greater than Earth. Think of a pressure cooker.

Skeptical Science: Point/Counter Point

Skeptical Science is a website that is about "getting skeptical about global warming skepticism" and is run by John Cook, who studied physics in Australia. One of the main parts of his site is a break down of the 104 most popular skeptic arguments. Well he has gotten the attention of Czech physicistDr. Luboš Motl of his blog The Reference Frame. Here Dr. Motl makes counter arguments to all 104 of Cooks arguments. It's becoming increasingly evident that catastrophic man-made global warming is a religion.

Chairman of the Center for Security Policy's Military Committee calls for full investigation

Hopefully this will get the attention of the U.S. ministry of propaganda (main stream media)

Release the Computer Code Too

Here is a great article on why climate scientists should release the code behind their climate models.

Climategate E-Mail Anaylsis

The Science and Public Policy Institute has an analysis of the climategate e-mails, done by physicists John P. Costella. It does a great job of explaining many of the e-mails and their importance in outing the fraud of AGW.

Explaination of the Mann "trick"

Here is a great article that explains the "trick" from the "trick" e-mail. Esentially you can't compare apples to oranges and that's the what Mann and ones were trying to do.

Himalayan Glaciers Aren't Going Anywhere, More Lies Exposed

Here's an article from the Canada Free Press, that says the theory that the Himalayan glaciers are going to be gone by 2035 was written by an Indian journalist, with no scientific background.

Update: A new study by Dr RK Ganjoo, director of the Institute of Himalayan Glaciology in Jammu University indicates that the East flank of the Siachen (Himalayan) glacier is receding, but the West flank is growing for a net positive growth.
