While the Bishop complains about the Advertising Standards Agency ruling against an advert for shale gas for telling the (politically incorrect) truth, the East Anglian Daily Press is apparently allowed to print this nonsense:
It seems that Mr Ball is in desperate need of the facts, which the ASA seem reluctant for the public to see.
PS The Chairman of the ASA is the smirking Lord Smith (the long term, thoroughly inadequate Labour Party hack and still chairman of the failing Environment Agency).

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
They are getting ever more desperate, and thus dangerous. Read the linked article from ‘Business Insider’ for more of the same desperation, and especially note the last two paragraphs about Antarctic ice. Hint: They claim Antarctic land ice is melting.

Thanks, Don. The linked article “Why Cold Weather Doesn’t Mean Global Warming Isn’t Real” is a hoot, and is torn to shreds the comments!

When are fracking and coal going together?
Possibly confused with coal bed methane?
Is Mr Philip Ball not aware that if the soil structure is affected as he suggests, then it would require less tillage by farmers, so reducing their energy costs, and minimising the CO2 produced by their tractors.
This would result in lower production costs for the vegetables grown, and, reduced global warming. A double benefit.
Hole SH_T I did not know I was mining coal with my rig ROFLMFAO !!!!! Coal bed methane sometimes but the triple I’m on now goes to 5200 Meters hook load 750’000 lbs , Yup looks good to mine coal with DUMBASS !!!!! ;>)
From a new study.
Significance
Marine and terrestrial proxy records suggest global cooling during the Late Holocene, following the peak warming of the Holocene Thermal Maximum (∼10 to 6 ka) until the rapid warming induced by increasing anthropogenic greenhouses gases. However, the physical mechanism responsible for this global cooling has remained elusive. Here, we show that climate models simulate a robust global annual mean warming in the Holocene, mainly in response to rising CO2 and the retreat of ice sheets. This model-data inconsistency demands a critical reexamination of both proxy data and models.
Abstract
A recent temperature reconstruction of global annual temperature shows Early Holocene warmth followed by a cooling trend through the Middle to Late Holocene [Marcott SA, et al., 2013, Science 339(6124):1198–1201]. This global cooling is puzzling because it is opposite from the expected and simulated global warming trend due to the retreating ice sheets and rising atmospheric greenhouse gases.
Our critical reexamination of this contradiction between the reconstructed cooling and the simulated warming points to potentially significant biases in both the seasonality of the proxy reconstruction and the climate sensitivity of current climate models.

Er, I think Lord Smith is smiling openly and confidently like the good team player and safe pair of hands that he is. ‘Smirking’ would make him seem like an arrogant smug a$$hole.
Oh, wait –
