“Contrasting air masses of widely-varying temperatures is the key. Active tornado seasons in the U.S. are always the result of UNUSUALLY COLD air pushing much farther south than normal through the Midwest into Dixie.” He goes on to add: “For … Continue reading →

Temperatures rocketing up close to -20C. All this melting is going to drown Manhattan. http://www.summitcamp.org/status/webcam/

The graph above is the GISS 1200km temperature anomaly profile (by longitude) for March, 2011 at 83N. It shows the entire 83N latitude band at 4.5C – 9.5C anomaly. This data is completely fabricated. Using 250km smoothing, this is what … Continue reading →

https://realclimatescience.com/ Good questions. 1. The baseline difference is not going to come close to accounting for the 5-10C discrepancy in northern Greenland. 2. The smoothing is exactly the problem. GISS has been diverging from HadCRUT over the last decade, because … Continue reading →

These two March, 2011 maps from UAH and GISS show it pretty clearly. March was a very cold month in Greenland. http://nsstc.uah.edu/climate/2011/march/MARCH_2011_map.png Surface temps from Weather Underground confirmed this. However, Hansen’s magic (below) made most of Greenland hot (anomalies as … Continue reading →

When warm El Nino dominated, Trenberth blamed it on global warming. One respected climate scientist who has gone out on a limb about the global warming-El Niño connection is Kevin Trenberth, a climatologist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research … Continue reading →

About minus five degrees of global warming to be precise. http://www.hprcc.unl.edu/products/maps/acis/MonthTDeptUS.png
