They haven't figured out a way to spin this one yet so will likely be buried as usual.

Everything Al Gore believes about carbon is wrong.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

it rests solely on measurements and statistical data, including historical records extracted from Antarctic ice, and does not rely on computations with complex climate models.

Data? Data? We don't need no steenkin' DATA!

This, among other contradicting reports, will be buried.

“terrestrial ecosystems and the oceans have a much greater capacity to absorb CO2”

ya mean, increased CO2 leads to increased plant growth that absorbs the increased CO2?

Because increased plant life is necessary to support whoever and whatever is giving off the excess CO2?

As if the earth were a living ecosystem that had some mysterious ability to self-correct and balance itself to support life?

Nah, never ......

the alarmists rely completely on models and models don't have the capability of factoring in data brought out in the article.

One of the first rules that every scientist is supposed to learn is that when the model contradicts the data, the model is wrong.

The whole Al Gore/Jim Hansen/Green CAGW thing is falling apart. This new finding supports the notion that CO2 is not nearly as long-lived as had been assumed and baked into the climate models. More and more people are asking the basic questions that should have been asked back in 1988 when Hansen began his chicken little routine.
There is a new discussion report on Himalayan Glaciers from the Indian Ministry for the Environment that basically aargues that the scaremongering about the disappearance of these glaciers is just that and that there is no significant change in the rate of retreat of these glaciers since the last Ice Age - averaging 5 meters per year or about 500 yards per century!
The new Finish TV special that points out the flawed science underpinning the iconic hockey stick is excellent. Transcripts are available at http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/11/09/mcintyre-and-lindzen-to-appear-on-finnish-tv-documentary-transcript/

So is this good news for climate negotiations in Copenhagen?

Of course not. The Copenhagen negotiations have nothing to do with climate, or science at all; it's a global wealth restructuring conference.

The strength of the new study, published online in Geophysical Research Letters, is that it rests solely on measurements and statistical data, including historical records extracted from Antarctic ice, and does not rely on computations with complex climate models.

HERESY! BLASPHEMY! If it's not derived from a computer model, it can't be science. /s

IOW the conclusions are based on real world data instead of the assumptions of computer models. These models are tricked up to reach any desired conclusion the modeler wants. Invariably those conclusions are anti- industry and anti-capitalism.

Sure. What the public doesn’t know won’t make them uppity.
