IPCC For Bio-Diversity Gets Official UN Go-Ahead.

The United Nations has announced that the international body to prevent “bio-diversity loss” has passed it’s final hurdle and has been given approval as an international body to coordinate all laws to protect bio-diversity.
The Intergovernmental Science Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service (IPBES) is designed to mirror the IPCC and produce reports and recommendations on how to protect the diversity of life, which is allegedly being lost throughout the world.
......
Mirroring the IPCC the new body aimed to examine what the UN called “transformational policy options” to “bring about real change”:
IPBES, which in many ways mirrors the UN-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that has helped to catalyze government action on global warming, will foster the search for government action needed to reverse the accelerating degradation of the natural world and its species, which some experts put at 1,000 times the natural progression.
Its role includes high-quality peer reviews of the wealth of science on the issue from research institutes across the globe and outlining transformational policy options to bring about real change.
What exactly does “outlining transformational policy options to bring about real change” mean in English? Your guess is as good as mine. But it will involve large amounts of money. Your money:
It said an annual $45 billion investment into protected areas alone could secure delivery of ecosystem services worth some $5 trillion a year.
So what’s the next step for this new IPCC-type body?
UNEP, as the interim Secretariat of the new independent body, will now organize a plenary or meeting of Governments in 2011, the first year of the International Decade of Biodiversity, to decide which country will house the IPBES and which institutions will host it along with other institutional arrangements.
We’re in safe hands.
( Flying pigs will testify to that. )

Sino-American renewable energy trade war

China is doing what the green politicians and activists in America have always wanted: it is actually supporting alternative energy sources. Because they're not profitable - instead, pretty much by definition, alternative energy sources lead to a financial loss - the Chinese government has to pay for that. Isn't it exactly what the green activists wanted? Isn't it the only way how it could take place?

China is also subsidizing wind turbines. In this way, it is sharing the burden in the transition to the renewable energy that the green people - including those in the Obama administration - have defended for years. What is the answer of America? Well,

US targets China’s wind subsidy.
America has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization. I kid you not. That's how Obama's administration cares about the transition to the renewable energy sources in the world.

Needless to say, the reaction is irrational from any viewpoint. If you think that it's a good idea to move away from the fossil fuels and to waste money for sources of energy that are not profitable at the present and that are at risk of remaining unprofitable for years or decades, then you should praise China and criticize America for making the transition harder.

.....America is attacking not only Chinese wind turbines. It also attacks the Chinese solar industry - which will be extended by Evergreen Solar, as we have mentioned. For example,

Pentagon cannot buy Chinese solar panels anymore
Try to decide whether these countries could co-operate in a hypothetical project of lowering CO2 emissions if they can't even agree that both countries are allowed to waste subsidies for solar panels and wind turbines that only produce a few percent of the electricity these days. These subsidies for the actual production of current, unprofitable products are actually about the wasting of the money. But imagine how the countries could agree about positive money.

In the current perverse world, however, it's much more devastating for a politician if he loses a channel by which he can waste his taxpayers' money.

Winter Weather

There are roulette-like elements to how the weather systems actually play out in a given season and location.

How predictable is winter weather?  Based upon my experience of providing weather forecasts for a client in the energy sector using the ECMWF forecast system (which I regard as the best forecast system currently available), there is pretty good predictability out to one week for specific weather systems.  There is also some longer term predictability in the system associated with ENSO, the AO/NAO, PNA, and MJO.
This winter we have been in La Nina conditions, spiced by predominantly negative AO/NAO (which reached extreme negative values in mid December) and a PNA index that was negative from mid Nov to mid Dec, and is now hovering around neutral.  The combination of these indices have a strong control on the winter weather patterns in the northern hemisphere.

Seasonal predictability of winter weather
The basis for predictability on subseasonal (weeks) to seasonal (months) time scales is the ability to predict certain teleconnection modes that influence regional and global circulation patterns and hence storms and regional variations in surface meteorological conditions.  The particular teleconnection modes of greatest relevance on these timescales are the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO), El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)/Arctic Oscillation (AO).  While these are viewed as independent teleconnection modes, there are relationships between these modes, whereby the MJO influences ENSO and ENSO modulates the MJO, with resulting storm track shift and NAO/AO response.
Predictability on these time scales of surface weather and extreme events is greatest for regions that are influenced by the MJO, ENSO, PNA, and the NAO/AO.  Further, predictability in a particular region varies seasonally.  The summertime MJO has a dominant control on the active and break period of the Asian monsoon, and also hurricane activity in the Pacific, Indian Ocean, and North Atlantic.  Winter weather in the northern hemisphere is dominated by the NAO/AO and PNA patterns.

Winter forecasts
So the bottom line is that starting around Dec 1, you can get a pretty good picture of what the winter weather will look like for the next two months.  So why have there been such spectacular failures in some recent seasonal forecasts?  In particular the UK Met Office has been taking alot of heat over its prediction in 2009 of a “barbecue summer” and this year for not making public its forecast of a cold winter.  There are two parts to the forecasting issue:  how good the models are, and how to extract useful information from ensembles.
In terms of how good the models are, again in my experience, the modeling system that is currently far superior is ECMWF.  There is good news on the seasonal forecast model front.  Over the course of the next several months, substantially new and improved seasonal forecast products will be released by NOAA CPC (CFSv2; available Jan 18) and ECMWF System-4 (available sometime in the next six months.) The NOAA CFSv2 represents a substantial change to all aspects of the forecast system, including all components of the model, the data assimilation system, and the ensemble configuration.  The ECMWF System-4 includes changes to model parameterizations and the ocean model and an increase in resolution.
