... object of the project was: "To show, both visually and by
ranking, who the key influencers are on Twitter for the term
'climate change'. To show both how they 'cluster' and interconnect.
To show the volume of interaction and where the 'hotspots' of
activity are within the climate change Twitter universe. To use a
transparent and bias-free methodology to both harvest and represent
the data."

*Fact Check: Trump's Cabinet Picks on Human-Caused Global Warming
<https://skepticalscience.com/fact-check-trump-picks-on-agw.html>*
Verdict: Trump and his cabinet picks are right that humans are
influencing global warming, but they're wrong to doubt that humans
are the dominant cause of the warming over the past six decades....
The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report –
which summarizes the latest and greatest climate science research –
was quite clear that humans are responsible for global warming:...
In fact, the report's best estimate was that humans are responsible
for all of the global warming since 1951, and greenhouse gases for
about 140%. That's because natural factors have had roughly zero net
effect on temperatures during that time...
In other words, the Earth's surface warmed about 0.65°C between 1951
and 2010. Human greenhouse gas emissions caused temperatures to be
about 0.9°C hotter than they would have otherwise been. But other
human pollutants caused about 0.25°C cooling, and natural factors
had a very small effect....

*Washington state judge in environmental activist's trial says climate
change is matter of debate
<https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jan/31/environmental-activist-trial-judge-questions-climate-change-ken-ward>*
A Washington state judge has sparked outrage for remarks questioning
the existence of climate change and the role of humans in global
warming.
During the high-profile trial of Ken Ward, a climate activist facing
30 years in prison for shutting down an oil pipeline, Judge Michael
E Rickert said: "I don't know what everybody's beliefs are on
[climate change], but I know that there's tremendous controversy
over the fact whether it even exists. And even if people believe
that it does or it doesn't, the extent of what we're doing to
ourselves and our climate and our planet, there's great controversy
over that."
"I thought it was shocking and deeply worrisome for my case," said
Ward, 60, of Corbett, Oregon, who temporarily shut off the safety
valve of the TransMountain pipeline in Skagit County. "We are in the
late stages of global collapse, and to have someone who is
presumably as knowledgeable and aware as a judge should be blithely
dismissing the biggest problem facing the world is chilling."

<http://www.businessinsider.com/chiles-worst-forest-fires-history-wildfire-acre-land-hectares-2017-1>*
Business Insider - 15 hours ago
More than a million acres of land have been ravaged by dozens of
forest fires in the central-south regions of Chile. Fires started
mid-January 2017 and have been described as some of the worst the
country has ever faced. Firefighting planes arrived from Russia and
Brazil to help combat the fires which have left several thousand
people homeless. At least 11 people have been killed since the fires
started.
Chilean President Michelle Bachelet said the origin of the fires
remains unknown and that arson cannot be ruled out. ...

The Guardian reports on a bizarre effort by the American Enterprise
Institute to attack the credibility of the Fourth IPCC report...
Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby
group funded by one of the world's largest oil companies to
undermine a major climate change report due to be published today.
Letters sent by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), an
ExxonMobil-funded thinktank with close links to the Bush
administration, offered the payments for articles that emphasise the
shortcomings of a report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC).
Travel expenses and additional payments were also offered.
