		<title>Response to Richard @ BH</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In response to the comments by Richard on this thread.
Sean Houlihane The practice of hiding the detail of a method is (and was admitted by Jones) not beneficial in the sense that a robust theory can look after itself. Transparency in the method will improve the method. This is not really a matter for sensible [...]]]></description>

		<title>Institute of Physics submission to CRU Inquiry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was meaning to write about this when the story first appeared on 28th Feb of the IoP making a very forceful submission to the Science and Technology committee&#8217;s inquiry into the data disclosure (climategate emails). The submission is very strong on the behavior of the scientists and their actions which appeared to make replication [...]]]></description>

		<title>Polar Bears thrive at the equator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since we often see Polar Bears playing in the snow, I thought that it would be worth posting these pictures which I took at Singapore Zoo. This is just north of the equator, and it was cool when I was there, just below 30 degrees Celsius. To be clear, the polar bear does have somewhere [...]]]></description>

		<title>Climate is Weather, not the other way round.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I posted this as a comment at the Telegraph Blog, where Christopher Booker is discussing the cost (in any senses) of the Man-made global warming scare. As a reference for foreign readers or readers from the future, Feb &#8216;09 saw a severe cold snap in the UK, with councils running short of grit for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ozone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WUWT has a thread on a press release from the University of Waterloo claiming Study shows CFCs, cosmic rays major culprits for global warming. 
Prof. Qing-Bin Lu published a paper (DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.118501) in Physical Review Letters suggesting a correlation between Cosmic Rays and Ozone Depletion, using data up to 2007. There are predictions on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solar flux graph update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following on from this post, and since it will be a while before this month&#8217;s data appears, here is an update to my representation of the F10.7 solar flux. i have subtracted a presumed constant background level (67 flux units) and made a bit of an arbitrary partition between SC23 and SC24 during a period [...]]]></description>

		<title>Glacier retreat caused by soot?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New research from NASA (not sure if it&#8217;s peer reviewed, but it seems likely) suggests that soot is a major contributor to the retreat of glaciers in the Himalayas. A quick glance at William Lau&#8217;s webpage shows that dust is having several effects, directly on sunlight in the atmosphere, by darkening snow and allowing it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does it matter?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally published at http://www.houlihane.co.uk/blog
First, to save the people at RealClimate (climate propaganda by the people who deny that there is any thing to worry about in the stolen private emails, which incidentally discuss the use of that very website to discredit alternative opinion) the trouble, here is some background on me and what some people [...]]]></description>

		<title>Presentation of data in IPPC TAR</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally posted at http://www.houlihane.co.uk/blog.
Steve McIntyre has a detailed analysis of what has been described in the recent news as &#8216;a trick&#8216; to present temperature data in a certain way. His analysis is probably too detailed for many people to understand, so I have tried to provide a simple synopsys.
In 1999  the IPCC was preparing it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Science, Evidence and Policy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From http://www.houlihane.co.uk/blog/
Prompted by the BBC&#8217;s program &#8220;Moral Maze&#8221; broadcast on 2nd Dec, 2009 (iplayer), I decided to write about a disconnect that I observed between science and scientists, and the perception given by the panel members.
Prompted by issues such as the recent resignation of the government science advisor on drugs, and the leaking of the [...]]]></description>
