UK Net Zero

The UK could drop off the map and have no impact on atmospheric CO2 levels.  Their Net Zero plans have a benefit/cost ration of zero.

Erasing 1921

In 1989, NOAA said most global warming occurred before 1919 and declined from 1921 to 1979.

“Analysis of the warming since 1881 shows most of the increase in global temperature happened before 1919 — before the more recent sharp rise in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, said Thomas Karl, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.
While global climate warmed overall since 1881, it actually cooled from 1921 to 1979, Karl said.”

Dec 07, 1989, page 44 – The Tyler Courier-Times at Newspapers.com

Since then they have reversed both of those trends and erased the record heat of 1921.

“Monthly Weather Review – November, 1922 (Page 589)

The Arctic seems to be warming up. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers who sail the seas about Spitzbergen and the eastern Arctic, all point to a radical change in climatic conditions, and hitherto unheard-of high temperatures in that part of the earth’s surface.

In connection with Dr. Hoel’s report, it is of interest to note the unusually warm summer in Arctic Norway and the observations of Capt. Martin Ingebrigtsen, who has sailed the eastern Arctic for 54 years past. He says that he first noted warmer conditions in 1918, that since that time it has steadily gotten warmer, and that to-day the Arctic of that region is not recognizable as the same region of 1868 to 1917.
Many old landmarks are so changed as to be unrecognizable.

Where formerly great masses of ice were found, there are now often moraines, accumulations of earth and stones. At many points where glaciers formerly extended far into the sea they have entirely disappeared.

There were few seal in Spitzbergen waters this year, the catch being far under the average. This, however, did not surprise the captain. He pointed out that formerly the waters about Spitzbergen held an even summer temperature of about 3° Celsius; this year recorded temperatures up to 15°, and last winter the ocean did not freeze over even on the north coast of Spitzbergen.”

“the world’s most eminent climate scientists”

Google Gemini heaps praise on the “world’s most eminent climate scientists.”

In the 1990 IPCC Report they showed Arctic sea ice increasing from 1973 to 1990.

“satellite observations have been used to map sea ice extent routinely since the early 1970s.

in 1972-1975 sea ice extent was significantly less.”

In the 2001 IPCC Report they showed sea ice declining during that same time period, and mislabeled the graph in the 6th dimension (10² x km6)

Warming Toledo

Afternoon temperatures at Toledo, Iowa have been declining since the 19th century at a rate of 2F per century. They used to get days over 105F fairly often, but it hasn’t happened since 1940. Their hottest day was 109F on July 24, 1901

Toledo is a well sited rural station located in Central Iowa.

In their GHCN database, NOAA alters the temperature trend at Toledo (USC00138296) to change it from cooling into warming

https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/ghcn/v4/ghcnm.tavg.latest.qcf.tar.gz

In order to create their imaginary warming trend, NOAA cools past temperatures by as much as 3.7F and warms recent temperatures 1.15F.

One Year Left To Save The Planet

Cold Hurricanes

The most active hurricane season in the US was 1886, with seven hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico – including three during June. NASA says that year was very cold.

The Inflation Reduction Act

Three years ago the Biden administration confiscated hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayers for the Green New Deal.  Since then atmospheric CO2 has grown at a record rate.
