Mobile websites have come a long way, but if you want to take full advantage of a smartphone's hardware, or get listed in the iTunes App Store, you need to compile your code. This tutorial shows how to create a mobile web app with an iPhone look and feel using jQTouch, then turn it into a native iPhone app using Phonegap. No Objective-C necessary.

Shows just how pointless - and extraordinarily poorly designed - Anthony Watts and Roger J. Pielke Senior's surfacestations.org project was. Eli Rabett discusses the Climate Reference Network of US surface temperature stations, and how the record of temperature anomalies shows that the underlying warming trend is very accurately captured by the existing network of measuring stations.

With this applet, you can develop your own scenarios for future human emissions and future carbon sinks in the oceans and on the land. Run the applet to see the impact on atmospheric CO2 and global mean temperature.

New discoveries about the deep ocean's temperature variability and circulation system could help improve projections of future climate conditions. The deep ocean is affected more by surface warming than previously thought, and this understanding allows for more accurate predictions of factors such as sea level rise and ice volume changes.

High ocean surface temperatures have also been found to result in a more vigorous deep ocean circulation system. This increase results in a faster transport of large quantities of warm water, with possible impacts including reduction of sea ice extent and overall warming of the Arctic.

List of statements on the CRU stolen emails affair from various reputable sources, including IPCC, Met Office, Royal Society, Nature, American Meteorological Society, New Scientist, Scientific American, etc etc.

Excellent summary of the global temperature warming trend. The perfect antidote to those who say "there's been a cooling trend for the last decade".

There is a good chance that next year will be the hottest year recorded for the world, according to new forecasts from the Met Office's climate prediction and research branch, the Hadley Centre.

A new forecast for the decade from 2009 onwards suggests that "at least half" of the years up to 2019 will be hotter than the hottest year so far, which was 1998. And it indicates that the first of the years to break the current record will actually be 2010.

According to Tim Garrett, an associate professor of atmospheric sciences, University of Utah, rising carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions - the major cause of global warming - cannot be stabilised unless the world's economy collapses or society builds the equivalent of one new nuclear power plant each day. The study, which is based on the concept that physics can be used to characterize the evolution of civilization, indicates that energy conservation or efficiency doesn't really save energy, but instead spurs economic growth and accelerated energy consumption.

Backfire: the stolen emails from CRU reveal what looks like fraud - but not by real climate scientists. The apparent fraud is in a paper by the infamous contrarians David H. Douglass, John R. Christy, Benjamin D. Pearsona and S. Fred Singer.

Climate change could increase the likelihood of civil war in sub-Saharan Africa by over 50 percent within the next two decades, according to a new study led by a team of researchers at University of California, Berkeley, and published in the Nov. 23 online issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
