Proper uninhabitable cold has been restored. No doubt she will come back, take a long hot shower to warm up, and then tell the press about the global warming devastation she saw there. Nuuk

Pink shows where GISS has no thermometer readings for April. They report precision  within 0.01 degrees.

The April GISS 1200 km smoothing map mapped on to a sphere. I wonder what physical mechanism Hansen would use to explain the huge gradient across the North Pole?

http://www.woodfortrees.org/ Over the past decade, GISS has continued to show an increase in global temperatures, while HadCRUT has decreased. They have been diverging at a rate of about 1C per century, which is pretty dramatic considering that they report 0.01C … Continue reading →

http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/docs/1988/1988_Hansen_etal.pdf The graph above plots the GISS trend since 1960, overlaid on Hansen’s 1988 predictions. The green circle is the GISS April anomaly of 0.55. “Scenario A assumes continued exponential trace gas growth, scenario B assumes a reduced linear linear … Continue reading →

Apparently not much. Both believed that it would take mass casualties of Americans to achieve their personal political goals. Both believed that global warming is destroying the planet. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2011/05/climate-disasters-global-warming-real.php

Climate change threatens far more than our environment. It’s already led to the spread of infectious diseases and respiratory ailments across the globe and contributed to thousands of deaths through heat waves and other extreme weather events. It’s even fueled … Continue reading →

Grist writers are getting increasingly desperate, which makes them more fun. What if a hurricane even nastier than Katrina — made stronger by the warmer climate — were to barrel through Florida and leave a trail of destruction in its … Continue reading →

Stopping the use of coal for electricity generation is the answer to halting global warming. This is the view of an internationally acclaimed scientist, known as the `father of climate change’, who spoke at Massey University yesterday. Dr James Hansen … Continue reading →
