	General Global Australian Climate Science Corrupted - Essay about how the beliefs of 3 key individuals involved with the formation of the IPCC have misled governments and the general public about man-made warming. 06 Dec 2009 Influence of the Southern Oscillation on tropospheric temperature - written with Professors Chris de Freitas and Bob Carter this paper shows that the El Nino-Southern Oscillation is likely to be the determinant of average global temperature. (A preliminary response to an informal criticism of this paper is here.) 13 SEP 2009 The IPCC can't count - an investigation of the claim that 4,000 IPCC authors and reviewers supported the claim of significant man-made warming. The original document (of 5 Jan 2008) now updated and expanded 19 JAN 2008   EPA ANPR Submission - in response to the directive to the EPA that it should regulate carbon dioxide emissions. This document addresses the credibility of the IPCC's claims 28 NOV 2008   Prejudiced Authors, Prejudiced Findings - About the authorship of the pivotal 9th chapter of the WG I contribution to the IPCC 4AR and how it differed from the IPCC's stated aims 15 JUL 2008   Consensus? What Consensus? - How did the claims of a consensus start and what's the evidence for one 05 FEB 2008   The IPCC under the microscope - Plenty of questions about its operation and integrity are raised in these articles 19 NOV 2007   Disband the IPCC now! - here's 10 good reasons to (PDF doc) 11 NOV 2007   The IPCC's weak evidence for a human influence (PDF doc) 13 OCT 2007   Ignore natural event and blame humans - 1976 Great Pacific Climate Shift ignored (PDF doc) 9 OCT 2007 Fallacies about Global Warming - 8 key points (PDF doc) 28 SEP 2007 IPCC review analysis Updated! The reality doesn't match the popular impressions. (Please note: A document cited in this paper has been removed by the IPCC. Some of the information, but not all, is available in this IPCC Fact Sheet) (PDF doc) 24 OCT 2007 Doubting the consensus - why would anyone? 9 JUL 2007 Tropospheric temperatures - 9 graphs summarising lower tropospheric temperatures 19 NOV 2009 Britain's temperature and rainfall - CET, details of temperature and rainfall (Dr Wilson Flood) 18 FEB 2009 Wilkins Ice Shelf - The partial collapse in March may have started almost 12 months earlier (PDF) 11 MAY 2008 Temperature data coverage - The percentage of the earth's surface supplying data (1850-2006) 16 NOV 2007 Tuvalu sea level - is NOT changing due to man-made warming 27 SEP 2007 Cloud Cover variations - lots of graphs which might account for regional temperature variations 25 JUN 2007 Ice Cores - not so straight forward 23 AUG 2005 Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) in each Hemisphere 6 JUN 2005 Arctic Ice (recent) - regional variations are very obvious 1 OCT 2005 Arctic Ice (1920-1940) - retraction comparable to modern times 1 OCT 2005 A Tale of Two Hemispheres - far from "global" 29 MAR 2005 Antarctic warming - plenty of natural reasons 12 DEC 2004 Great Barrier Reef sea-surface temperatures aren't rising like some people claim updated 5 JAN 2009 Sea level at Kakadu variations are due to natural causes 03 NOV 2008 Submission responding to draft Victorian Coastal Strategy - concentrating on claims about climate, sea level and ocean acidity. 29 JAN 2008 "Facts and Fictions ..." - My submission to the Garnaut Climate Change Review. 25 JAN 2008 Critical review of "Healthy Planet, Places and People" - another climate-related report which ignores documented evidence and makes unsubstantiated claims 12 NOV 2007 Analysis of "Climate Change Australia" (2007) report - unsubstantiated claims make this report more like a sales brochure than good science. (PDF) 11 OCT 2007 Australia's temperatures since 1950 - an alternative view (PDF) 17 OCT 2007 Analysis of earlier CSIRO climate reports (peer-reviewed paper, PDF) 9 OCT 2006 Rainfall in the Murray-Darling Basin - recent levels seem quite natural 14 JUL 2007 Melbourne as an Urban Heat Island - some clear implications for other places 4 AUG 2005 Predictions for the Murray-Darling Basin - what nonsense! 13 JAN 2005 Australia's Changing Climate - plenty of natural variations 28 DEC 2004
