Real Climate Science

The BBC ran an article this week quoting Harrison Schmitt in 1972, showing a picture he took, and comparing it to a recent picture.  The point was to show how earth had changed due to global warming.  The pictures didn’t show any such such thing, and Harrison Schmitt is a high profile climate skeptic.

How 50 years of climate change has changed the face of the ‘Blue Marble’ from space

“the areal extent of sea-ice in the Northern Hemisphere has varied about a constant climatological level but in 1972-1975 sea-ice extent was significantly less. ”

Fifty years ago climate scientists wanted to melt the polar ice caps to save us from global cooling. Now they want to blot out the sun to save us from global warming.

Fifty years ago, climatologists wanted to save the ignorant peasants from global cooling.

“Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.”

The year 1601 was the coldest year on record, following the year 1600 eruption of Mt. Huaynaputina in Peru.  This led to mass starvation and crop failures.  The UK Government is attempting a repeat.

Sea surface temperatures have been rapidly declining.  This experiment appears to be timed to take credit for something which was already occurring.

There have been more than 6,000 crimes reported in Washington DC so far this year.  This map shows the first 1,000 of that list.  The map shows that there have been no crimes committed by Congress.

“Climate 200 plays a critical role in the David and Goliath battles independents have against the major parties.

It is no longer just candidates and parties that participate in elections – many fossil fuel backed third party organisations also aggressively campaign against candidates pushing for greater climate action.”

 

Climate 200 | Climate proofing politics

“Last month, something revolutionary quietly took place. On March 28, 2025, the world received its first-ever monthly Climate Data update on global greenhouse gas emissions—derived not from self-reported pledges or slow-moving government reports, but from direct, verified observation. Using satellites, sensors, and artificial intelligence, Climate TRACE delivered precise emissions data with just a 60-day lag.”

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

By 1903, glaciers were rapidly disappearing around the world and New Zealand had gone full socialist.  According to the IPCC and Michael Mann, the second half of the 19th century was the coldest fifty years of the last millennium.

Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis

Before the IPCC rewrote history in 2001, NOAA knew about the warming from 1981 to 1919.

“Analysis of 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.””
