Anthropogenic, definition of
- Anthropogenic
Climategate refers to release/leak/stealing of emails, data and programs related to research into global warming by UEA's Climate Research Unit (CRU); that occurred in 2009 before the Copenhagen Climate Conference (and was therefore probably contributory to its failure). The information obtained was made publicly available for all to see and read through.
It indicates that there good reason to conclude:
- Problems with data retention and archiving;
- Weakly documented data processing both in terms of process and actions undertaken.
- A 'closed ranks' mindset to external criticism and freedom of information
- Close interdependent relationships between a small set of international researchers leading to peer review and career advancement support occurring within the group.

EcoWho blog posts where 'Anthropogenic' used:- Dueling Climate Reports
In the interests of free speech I'm reposting this article so it gets better exposure. - Climatic Models incomplete - poor understanding of mid level clouds cited
Clouds play a major role in the climate-change equation, but they are the least-understood variable in the sky, observes a Texas A&M University geoscientist, who says mid-level clouds are especially understudied. - Indonesia to cut down rainforests for $1Bn climate aid
Indonesia plans to class large areas of its remaining natural forests as "degraded" in order to cut them down and receive nearly $1bn of climate aid for replanting them with palm trees and biofuel crops. - Climate change is not the long term problem, environmental degradation is.
We propose that man-made climate change, as a risk to society as we know it, is less of a real risk than current environmental degradation and pollution. - CO2 global levels rising, is this a problem?
According to recent reports in the media it looks like 2010 is 'expected' to be a record this year. We look into the actual facts and find this is just speculation prior to Cancum. - Solar Panel Calculator
Solar Panel Calculator, given the size, power and number of panels works out total power, rated voltage and amps. - IPCC conclusions fail under legal cross examination
A cross examination of global warming science conducted by the University of Pennsylvania’s Institute for Law and Economics has concluded that virtually every claim advanced by global warming proponents fails to stand up to scrutiny.

About Anthropogenic.- Anthropogenic Global Warming
Often abbreviated to just AGW. This is global warming which has been caused by human activity in addition to natural global warming.
The science around this is difficult to prove, as identifying a clear indicator of the human contribution which is independent of multiple natural causes is very hard to do in reality. The human element to global warming needs to be clearly and precisely measured against a background of natural global warming that has been occurring since the last ice age.Given the, until recent (last 20 years), lack of good direct measurement of the climatic system; a lot of dependence has been placed on proxy measurements, which often have high inherent error and many secondary effects that need to be taken into account.Temperature measurement is further complicated by the fact that a global temperature is a 'synthetic measurement'; i.e. it cannot be directly observed 'as is' instantaneously globally, it has to be calculated from sparse measurements (both in time and space) of temperature from multiple locations with differing local environmental conditions. Again this incurs additional errors and growing uncertainty.
