2013 Will Finish One Of The Ten Coldest Years In US History, With The Largest Drop In Temperature

Before NASA and NOAA start tampering with the data, 2013 is one of the ten coldest years  in the US since 1895, and has had the largest year over year decline on record.

NOAA of course won’t talk about this, and will massively tamper with the data before releasing it.

The graph below is the monthly average of all daily high and low temperatures at all NOAA USHCN stations.

Thermometer data is here : Index of /pub/data/ghcn/daily/hcn/

December isn’t complete yet, but is running far below normal and forecast to get colder.

NOAA will reporting something very different, because they subtract up to 1.7 degrees from older temperatures. Essentially all reported US warming is due to a hockey stick of temperature adjustments, which makes the past appear to be much colder than what the thermometers measured at the time. (They of course do not mention this in their press releases.)

480 Responses to 2013 Will Finish One Of The Ten Coldest Years In US History, With The Largest Drop In Temperature

  1. I read a post at WUWT and Mosher declared that the raw temperature data was garbage. Fortunately he has created algorithms that will take that rubbish temperature data and turn it into good temperature data.

  2. Wyguy says:

    November 2013 was the warmest global temperature on record. Weather Underground told me so. And I full trust them…..NOT.

  3. Andy DC says:

    Record cooling is totally consistent with a warming planet. In all seriousness, there has been no warming at all since 1930. When you get away from tampered data and UHI, this has all been much to do about nothing. Nevertheless, the Boston University alumni rag said that by 2100, the Arctic will have the same climate as the southern US!

    On the other hand, it is apparent that Henry Ford’s evil Model T caused warming between 1900 and 1930.

  4. Organic Fool says:

    “Show Trial” Science

    “The term show trial is a pejorative description of a type of highly public trial in which there is a strong connotation that the judicial authorities have already determined the guilt of the defendant. The actual trial has as its only goal to present the accusation and the verdict to the public as an impressive example and as a warning to other would-be dissidents or transgressors. Show trials tend to be retributive rather than correctional justice and also conducted for propagandistic purposes. The term was first recorded in the 1930s.” – wikidedia

    Today, the global warming myth is a show trial and kangaroo courtroom. This same method has been employed largely by the medical and pharmaceutical industries to force the idea that natural saturated fat from animals, like butter, cream, eggs, bacon, lard, etc causes heart disease. You can recognize it by its dogmatic approach where the opposing evidence is not presented at all. The end result is usually a product which is needed, such as statin drugs and “low-fat” food products like margarine which do not contain cholesterol. The natural foods are demonized, even though they have been the main source of food for millions of people throughout history. Original margarine was made from lard when butter was sent off to soldiers. This was when people lived on farms and they often lived to 100 years or more, with complete sets of teeth. The fat soluble vitamins are required for human health, and they exist in animal fats. The fat portion of milk contains these nutrients as well, which makes drinking skim or low-fat milk an unhealthy choice and makes cream the best choice when it comes to vitamins, according to real science not mock science.

    The global warming debate is one big mock trial. The jury is the public. Only the Prosecution is allowed to present evidence. This is akin to a certain tribunals and Totalitarian regimes. The desired outcome is rigged from the start.

    My friends are turning to the Dark Side. It is sad to see. We can confront them on this by reminding them about such kangaroo tactics and ask them if they believe it is honest to completely ignore other variables that other scientists point out, such as the sun, El Nino, Earth’s orbit and the evidence for a coming cooling. When friends or family call someone a denier, remind them that they would have Kepler, Copernicus or Galileo shut down because they were in the 3%? Science can be like Church for some people. I see it as a form of idolatry. We are to bow down to the CO2 God or we’ll go to hell, do not collect $200.

    “Science is settled” is simply another way to silence the opposition and kill debate.

  5. Dave N says:

    Remember that highlighting a cold month or year is “cherry picking”; when you’re an alarmist (preferably with a PhD, because they can’t be wrong) and highlight a warm month or year, it’s called “science”.

    • ChrisGC says:

      How about when highlighting 7 or 8 consecutive years of increasing record cold and snowfall in both northern and southern hemispheres occurs in the face of the doom and gloom predictions of a warming that stopped over 15 years ago?

    • Many of the PHD scientist that you refer to are not even meteorologists or atmospheric phyicists, etc. They are social scientist, with a left social bent, more commonly referred to as environmental scientist (better known as tree huggers). Also, there is no such thing as settled science, an emotional term used when there is no scientific evidence to prove their point. Climatology in reality is the study of past weather observations/patterns and by definition can not be used to predict the future. Finally, models must be validated based on recored past data before you can use them to remotely attemtyp to predict a future event. The farther out the prediction the greater the degree of uncertainty. I have seen no evidence that any of the GW models ahve ever been vbalidated or the data that was used to validate the models.

        This is a great point. I am an energy efficiency consultant and belong to many LinkedIn groups that supposedly cater to energy efficiency professionals. Every single group moderator is a “communications” professional. They allow the AGW posters to rant and rave and make BS arguments, but stifle posts opposing AGW. It is almost as if they want to influence people.

  6. John B., M.D. says:

    The excuses for the alarmists will be:
    1) The U.S. is less than 2% of the global surface area.
    2) The melting Arctic ice shifted the pattern of the jet stream and made the U.S. colder than average. Global warming causes cooling.
    3) USHCN data bad, adjusted GISS data good.
    4) Weather is getting more extreme. Won’t even mention temps. Only mention things that fit the narrative.

    • John B., M.D. says:

      5) Ignore the data for the full year, just point to November as the hottest ever (ignore RSS and UAH data sets).

      • November was well below normal in the US

        • John B., M.D. says:

          They will say ignore the U.S., just pay attention to the global data for just one month November. Ignore the data for the full year. Distract and point to something else. Remember their theory is not falsifiable, one of the hallmarks of pseudoscience.

  8. Organic Fool says:

    Scientific method says nothing about consensus but about challenging a theory when predictions prove false. Henrik Svensmark has shown a correlation between cosmic rays and cloud cover as well as temperature modification on Earth. This was published in peer reviewed journals. CO2 alarmists, of course, dismiss this information.

    “The scientific method is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.[1] To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.[2] The Oxford English Dictionary defines the scientific method as: “a method or procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.”[3]

    The chief characteristic which distinguishes the scientific method from other methods of acquiring knowledge is that scientists seek to let reality speak for itself,[discuss] supporting a theory when a theory’s predictions are confirmed and challenging a theory when its predictions prove false.”

      Well said – the big debate seems to be more between people who want to believe in the climate change models that predict global warming and the people who let the data tell the story. These plots are not consistent with CO2 global warming theories.

    • steve says:

      I have been following Henrik’s work for many years and in my personal life I have been educating those around me about his climate mechanism. One of the interesting results of his work, is how the greenhouse gas consensus has become what they despise. When remembering my public and college education it is interesting how often we were instructed about the persecution of Galileo by the parochial consensus. It appears now the tables have turned and the anthropogenic warming believers have become the parochial consensus they so often argued against. Its unfortunate, that main stream climate science has allowed the temptation of political power and control to corrupt the scientific method. As a practicing geologist I’m disappointed to see this and have no doubt that if political influence is not removed from climate science it will eventually affect all of us adversely. Looks like history is repeating itself.

        Is massive tampering a conspiracy charge from the blog theorists here?
        And, how did 2013 turn out? 84th coldest? and tied with 1910 at 52.42°F

          Yes, Steve…others have done the same or similar thing…http://rankexploits.com/musings/2012/a-surprising-validation-of-ushcn-adjustments/. No hint of conspiracy or use of the non-scientific word, “tampering”. Back before there was an NCDC to “tamper”, the US Weather Bureau published the data, monthly, for all states. Presumably, there was no tampering, certainly no reason to tamper. How does your “measured” data (which is from NCDC?) compare with theirs?

Had he been even close it would have been noticed somewhere, especially following on 2012’s record high it would have been unprecedented in the US. But, instead of top-ten, 84th? I guess he’s been cut some slack. Complaining about NCDC’s’ tampered’ temperatures while simultaneously comparing them to NCDC “measured” temperatures? This is Real Science? Really?

      • Organic Fool says:

        “is it a conspiracy? I don’t do conspiracies, I just present the data and let you decide.”

        Dr. Don Easterbrook, Prof. Emeritus of Geology, Western WA Univ, to the Senate Energy, Environment and Telecommunications Cmte. Explains why the data shows the Earth is cooling, not warming, over the last 15 years. Look up Piers Corbyn (climate scientist and astrophysicist) to learn his projection for much harsher winters over next 20 years as we return to possible mini ice-age conditions but at least similar to 1970s. The jet stream has changed to the pattern and began in 1999, both of these scientists claim. Let me guess, you want us all to stop eating animals, live in Boulder, wear spandex, eat tofu, drink soy milk, and drive a Prius? That will stop the climate change.

        • Broadlands says:

          The ENTIRE US database has been tampered? So, it IS a huge NCDC conspiracy to hide the truth? But, not in Europe I gather, nor over the last 15 years here. If NCDC cannot be trusted, where do you find the untampered truth, the real raw “measured” temperatures, back to 1895? Can you point to your source so others can look at these values to be sure that you are not making all this up?

      You are missing the big picture. Wealth Redistribution is the true religion… taking from the producers of wealth (the haves) and giving to the consumers (the have nots) on a global scale.

When the Wealth Redistribution religion already sees the writing on the wall and will drop the Global Warming sect like a hot potato as soon as the last monies have been gotten.

    The politicization of science has ruined the environment for honest research. Once truth is replaced with the quest for political power, confusion reigns supreme. The idea of man-made global warming is completely man-made and does not reflect the claims made by its proponents. In the sixties, we had the population bomb of Paul Ehrlich, which proclaimed global starvation and chaos by the end of the millennium due to unrestrained breeding among humans. China fell for the ploy, and established the one child law to defuse the population bomb. Their problems were solved by capitalism, not contraceptives. The politicization of the weather is just another scam created to justify more taxes and higher energy costs.

Low sun sopt activity leads to cooler weather since the sun’s output of energy has somewhat dereased!!! How come the Sun is left out of any kind of real science and investigation, since it is the main cause of all of our cycles of warming and cooling? Again, I said the MAIN cause!!

    Remember, how back in the mid-70’s the “Global Warming Alarmists” were pushing “GLOBAL COOLING”?? Which is it?? Arctic Ice is 50 % larger this time this year than last and the ice in Anarctica is thcker than it was last year!!! More proof that global warming is a hoax!

    With all the fuss about CO2 being thrown into our atmosphere, doesn’t the oceans and all the greenery worldwide use this to survive and then replace that CO2 with Oxygen for we humans to breathe and also survive???

    It doesn’t matter. They already ditched “global warming” and have renamed their church “global climate change”. Now they can explain any weather event. Coldest winter?

Who cares how it snowed there 100 years ago, and every time before that? If it snows there NOW, it’s…? Yup. Global climate change. We need more government funded studies to make sense of this, so pointy-headed academics can have careers. We need new sources of “revenue” to fund the daddy state, so let’s regulate and tax toxic carbon dioxide emitters so everybody can have “free” healthcare, food, housing, and education (for those that still wish to bother).

  39. Morons, look at the polar ice sheets over the last 50 years. If the earth is not warming why are they getting smaller?

        This little exchange nicely sums up the debate between alarmists and non-alarmists. Somebody should save it for posterity.

    • FutureUser says:

      1. Local warming (of a polar area) is not the same as global warming (of all land and sea areas).
      2. Solar flux may be higher, yet temperatures lower, if the air is clearer. Considering that 2nd Pres. Bush pushed through a law mandating ultra-low-sulfur diesel, it’s not surprising that solar flux would be higher. This may cause more ice melting, without causing temperatures to rise. The ice temps would not rise while the ice is melting; the energy is being used to change the state at 32 deg. F.
      3. 50 years is not a long time in Earth’s history. 500 years would give a much better view of trends.
      4. Wind and ocean currents may have a greater effect on ice melts, that simple global average temperatures.
      5. This year’s ice is well ahead of trend. While one point does not a trend make, it may imply an inflection point in the trend.

    If you could do a favor, many would appreciate this. The HCN data is accessible via the FTP (yes), and you give the station list, but that is not enough and the problem is the data is not usable unless you use database software, perhaps MS Access or other choice, to manipulate that “daily” data that comes from the HCN website. A benefit for those wishing to see and use the HCN data from a particular station would be to provide a tool, maybe via a website or downloadable one, for those of us wishing to view individual station data.

      • TomP says:

        Steve, it’s good that you posted the original code, but what it shows a number of problems viewed from software design standpoint. The main problem is that there is no real way of auditing the results without debugging it line by line. A much better approach would be to use an SQL query, which can be easily audited and changed if needed. Looking at the c++ code, you appear to be doing data validation to eliminate outliers, but there’s no explanation of what is being discarded or why.
        However, I can see a much more serious problem from the point of view of the data analysis. You have chosen a set of weather stations which are extremely unevenly distributed across the United States. The top states in your list, in terms of stations per square mile are Delaware, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Maryland – 43 stations scattered over 32,147 square miles. At the bottom of the list are Nevada, with 9 stations scattered over 110,560 square miles, and Texas with 46 stations over 267,256 square miles. If you are simply averaging the data from all these stations, which is what you appear to doing, then you are implicitly saying that the data from tiny states like DE, NJ, MA and MD are around ten times more significant than the data from Nevada or Texas. In your analysis the 20 largest states in the country, which also just happen to lie in the West, have the lowest number of weather stations per square mile. It’s just possible that you are adjusting the weighting to account for the differences in density, but if so, I can’t see how you are doing it.

        • I’ve run the code on the fully adjusted NOAA data. and get exactly the same trend they do. Gridding affects the offset, but apparently has no effect on the slope – which is all that I care about.

Any REAL climatologist will tell you that this so called warming cycle is a natural phenomena and has been going on for thousands of years. We maybe getting warmer, although some signs say to the contrary, but my understanding is that we are in one of the 500 year cycles where the climate gets warmer because of other forces outside our orbit e.g. the Sun !!

        “An invitation to participate in the survey was sent to 10,257 Earth scientists…. In our survey, the most specialized and knowledgeable respondents (with regard to climate change) are those who listed climate science as their area of expertise and who also have published more than 50% of their recent peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change (79 individuals in total). Of these specialists, 96.2% (76 of 79) answered “risen” to question 1 and 97.4% (75 of 77) answered yes to question 2.”

        And here were the questions asked:

        1. When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant?
        2. Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?

        Significant can be 10%. Note that there was no opportunity in the survey (which was not subject to peer, or any other review, which explains its blatant flaws) to quantify or even discuss what part natural variability had to play. They sent out 10,257 surveys, received 3146 replies (seems that most Earth scientists were not even concerned enough to reply), and used only 79 to come up with a 97% consensus that the Earth has warmed since the Little Ice Age, and man may have been a minor contributor. By their ‘figuring’ that means that 2.5% of those who responded to the survey agree the Earth has warmed. EARTH SHATTERING!!! 😆

        This is the sort of manipulation that warmists use to fool the public into thinking we have a problem. Truth be told, I would answer ‘yes’ to question 1, and ‘maybe’ to question 2.

        If you do not understand that you have been duped by the grantologists, have a very nice bridge for sale, and 97% of bridge experts say you should buy it.

    Global warming and cooling (climate change) has been going on since the beginning of time. If climate change is caused by humans then it has to be caused by human POPULATION GROWTH. If that’s the case, then the cause of the problem (overpopulation) should be addressed rather than the symptoms (climate change).

    On a related note, no one has answered my question after 10 years of asking, “What cause the global warming that melted off the great Ice Age when man was hardly present on the planet?” Answer: The global warming that ended the ice age was part of the NATURAL CYCLING of climate that has gone on since the beginning of time and always will.

    The only people that don’t understand this are idiots, liars, or people like liberals who have mental disorders and are incapable of common sense reasoning or rational thought.

      Atlanteans built too many windmills near the glacial walls. The combined noise of all those turbines developed a resonant response in the crystalline structure of the ice sheet that built up energy slowly at first, then faster and faster(if you graphed the buildup, the line would probably resemble a hockey stick), until finally the entire Laurentide sheet shattered violently, setting off a chain reaction of quakes, vulcanism, tsunamis, torrential rains, large boats filled with animals, dead megafauna, and lost civilizations.

    Here’s the real lie. Now think about it.

    Issued back in early November:

    “WARSAW, Nov 13 (Reuters) –

    “This year is the seventh warmest since records began in 1850 with a trend to weather extremes and the impact of storms such as Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines aggravated by rising sea levels, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Wednesday.”

    Get that? With the coldest months of the year yet to come?

    The “science” was already “settled”, apparently, why wait for confirmation data?

    But the teachers who pin this to the wall in classroom, know no kid would dare to question the world’s authority.

    • The “coldest” month of the year is irrelevant. If a “normal” December temperature in a certain city is 22 degrees…and it ends up being 29 degrees, that’s MUCH warmer than normal. Its all relative.

      • gator69 says:

        Hey Lea! Where my house sits, there was once an ice sheet a mile thick, and now there isn’t. What is the ‘normal’ December temperature for my backyard?

        • dashmooz says:

          Lea,

          Since you claim to believe in ‘science’ and are disregarding ‘websites’ instead of NASA, could you possibly explain to me what data you would need to see to start questioning ‘climate change’ as they describe it now? It seems to me that the following is true:

          1) The Climate Change lobby (i.e. – scientists invested in this theory) have a real, credible incentive to make you believe this theory is real. All of their scientific research is invested in this, all future grants and money is tied to more ‘studies’ of it, and if they are wrong after all of the abuse they have heaped onto people questioning their theory, they are completely finished as credible scientists.
          2) As global temperatures have not risen overall in the last 15 years, I think that it is alarming how the vaunted models that forecasted increases have been wrong in every case. How on earth are we supposed to trust climate model projections 100 years out when they can’t accurately forecast even short term temperature trends?
          3) I truly don’t think the global warming supporters realize how much money and resources it would take to even attempt to do what the global warming lobby wants on a global scale. It would consume trillions upon trillions of dollars to even begin to make a dent, IF (and only IF) this theory is true. Even IF it is true, adapting to it would cost far less than doing what they are proposing.
          4) The climate change lobby, if they are truly honest, should be 100% honest with the public about the effects of their proposals. Similarly to ObamaCare, they are lying about it. They lied about Obamacare and its impact on the average family (if you like your plan, you can keep it. Period). If they institute a carbon tax and do all the things they are proposing relative to ‘renewable energy’, the average family’s energy bill would triple or quadruple, easily. They are not telling people that because they know people would be instantly against it, so they have to LIE in order to get these radical bills passed before those people understand the details.

          Do you think retiring all coal plants is good for the country? Coal usage is down and still accounts for 40%+ of all electricity – where is that going to come from when Obama shuts down coal plants?
          And forget just your ‘electric’ bill – every product and every service will rise dramatically in price since their costs are going to triple, too. And so people can’t afford those products and will cut back – this increases poverty (as people get less goods and services for their money), and craters the economy (as businesses go under b/c their sales plummet). Oh – but wait – we got rid of that nasty coal energy!! We can breathe clean air while we starve!!!

  88. leishman says:

    Here’s the perfect question (and follow-up) to pose to an AGW believer:
    Me: So, tell me, WHAT is the ideal temperature of the planet? Please pick a number of degrees warmer or cooler than our present temperature.
    AGWman: Well, it’s not just one number, it’s a range.
    Me: OK, what range?
    I’ve posed this question a dozen times, and have yet to hear an intelligent answer. Follow-up questions to AGWman ask whether the last Ice Age temp, the temp during Roman times (hotter than our present), the Medieval Warm Period, or the Little Ice Age represented the “ideal” temperature of the planet. After that, AGWman is usually just left with epithets, invective, ad hominem attacks, or appeal to “authority” such as the UN documents.

    • I’ve had a very smart guy (a good software developer) explain to me patiently that the degrees of warming today are worse than the degrees back when Greenland got its name. Apparently current degrees are motivated by evil humans, back in the day, they weren’t. I walked away from the discussion at that point.

    • Sid says:

      Here’s another great question for AGWman. What % of the variation in global temperature is accounted for by CO2? You will never get an answer to this question. They don’t report these kinds of statistics. Why? Their models don’t fit the data. Take a look at the temperature plot in this article and you will get a pretty good idea of the global temperature variation. Most of the variation in temperature couldn’t possibly be accounted for by CO2 which has been showing a DC increase with a cyclical sinusoidal pattern for years.

      • Ken Towe says:

        Steve… What is your source for these untampered temperatures? And, how do you know they are untampered? This is certainly important, if true. NCDC has adjusted older US Weather Bureau values, but those go back before ~1983 and the reasons have been explained. No conspiracy.

      • Ken Towe says:

        Here are links to full explanations for the NCDC data…
        http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/ushcn/
        http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/about-ncdc
        In January we will find out if 2013 was one of the top 10 coldest or whether it was even in the top 30. If true, I’m sure that the media will be all over it.

        In the US-48 no individual state has experienced a record low year since Nebraska did in 1993… a decade without a single record year. Record high years? In 2012 there were 19 states, unprecedented? Winters are getting colder… the trend since 1998 has been down.

        • The actual adjustments they make are much larger than their documentation

          Should I repeat that a few more times, or just wait until you don’t bother to read it again?

      • Ken Towe says:

        No need to repeat yourself, Steve. If what you say is indeed true it will be reported elsewhere…for sure. BTW, Have you ever asked anyone up at NCDC’s center in North Carolina to explain why don’t just give us the “real” data?

        • I’ve got the real data – it is available on the NOAA website. As far as I know, awareness of this tampering is just starting to become publicly known.

        • Ken Towe says:

          Steve… So when you spoke to someone at NCDC’s Asheville, NC center about your findings, what did they say? I’ve spoken to several of them in the past about data inconsistencies. They usually have pretty good explanations, even if I didn’t necessarily agree.

        • Glad you like their adjustments

        • Ken Towe says:

          Steve…You’re lack of a direct response to my question about contacting NCDC is very telling. You apparently have no real scientific interest in finding out why the NCDC data have been, in your repeated words, tampered with. If your tempering assertions and conclusions about them are indeed accurate the fact that you tried to make a serious effort to learn would certainly help your case. As it is, your avoidance makes you look weak… all of your charts, “bells-and-whistles” notwithstanding. In this respect, you seem to be a “paper tiger”.

      • Ken Towe says:

        Steve… going back to your nifty charts (12/21 7:10 PM) showing the trend differences between the 2009 and 2013 temperatures, I just noticed that none of them is your GHCN HCN data. It is all GISS data…Jim Hansen’s data. Bad form to tell us one thing about your data, but slip in somebody else’s rendition. I don’t doubt that the data, everyone’s, has been changed, for good reasons, but you need to explain why you haven’t contacted either GISS or NCDC for their explanation.

  92. TRG says:

    Why are older temperature adjusted downward? I would expect most temperature errors to be due to siting issues which would cause temperatures to be higher not lower.

    • Ken Towe says:

      TRG… A good question. The older temperatures have been adjusted downward by about 0.7-0.8°F. The so-called urban heat effect, which is real, irrespective of siting issues, would seem to be more intense with time and the newer values would intuitively be higher, especially near high population areas.

      • Older temperatures have been adjusted downwards by 1.0 to 1.7F. Look at the graph in the article.

        • Ken Towe says:

          That has nothing to do with answering TRG’s question. But, please provide a source for your 1921, 1934 monthly temperatures, all 48 states, to document that assertion. Is it the old US Weather Bureau? They published their values every month, for every state.

  93. bartman says:

    What did it for me years ago was visiting the glacier fields of Alberta Canada. Seeing that the decade markers showed a receding glacier before 1910, which was before the industrial revolution, convinced me that the natural earth cycles far swamp the human contributions.

    • Gamecock says:

      I know what you mean, but check your terminology. The industrial revolution was late 18th century to mid-nineteenth century.

      • bartman says:

        The true smokestack industrials were in their infancy (dirty but low total quantitative output based on relatively small populations) as we entered the 20th century, and the automobile was just being invented — both prime targets of the global warming crowd.

        Some of our sustained coldest weather occurred before 1920, yet glaciers were receding. Unless someone can prove to me that the latency of industrial output effects in our atmosphere takes 75-100 years to be noticed (i.e., post 1920), I remain a skeptic. BTW, the effects of a single large volcanic eruption is felt within a year.

    As a people, we need to be better at remediating our waste so it does not have a negative impact on our soil, oceans, animals, plants, etc – we all live in one, giant biosphere that is highly interconnected.

    If this ‘global warming’ / ‘climate change’ debate accomplishes anything, it should get folks on both the political right AND left to see that humanity makes a HUGE impact on everything around us. We all need to be more responsible. Period.

  96. K. McNamara says:

    All these freezing temperatures are simply proof of global warming. There is no longer any condition that doesn’t confirm anthropogenic global warming.

    Too hot? Global warming.
    Too cold? Global warming
    Too wet? Global warming
    Too dry? Global warming

    It’s no wonder they’ve started referring to it as “climate change” since people were no longer believing their nonsense. Talk about overplaying your hand.

  97. Jim Brown says:

    What amazes me, is the fact that when Phil Jones at East Anglia University was forced by British courts to release the raw temp data used to make their computer models, it was noted by a well known statiscian, McKitrick or McEntyre I believe was the name, noted that when comparing the raw data with the adjusted data, i.e. those used for the climate models, every temperature adjustment was in an upward direction. Other statiscians whom have looked at this claim that these adjustments all being in the same direction are a statistical impossibility and likely are the result of scientific fraud.

My typical arguments go something like this…Them: “Well, where is all of the CO2 going then?”…Me: “The same place it went the last time the CO2 levels were high”…Them: “If it’s going into the ocean then we’ll have acidification and we’ll have no more seafood”…Me: “Why did the ocean recover from the last time CO2 levels were high?”…*grunting and groaning sounds*…Them: “You just love the Koch brothers and fossil fuel and…”…Me: “I just love everyone having a chance at a decent life, and cheap energy helps to provide that chance”…Them: “What happens when we run out then?”…Me: “That’s why you guys have about 200-300 years to figure that out, not trying to force something on us now that’s not ready”…and on, and on…

    • Jodie Johansson says:

      There are ways to add chemicals to de-acidify the ocean, and cutting trees down near the N. Pole would lower the temps. But, the lefties don’t want to “solve” the problem, they want to control people’s behavior.

  102. Fitshoeman says:

    What about the world climate?

  103. Fitshoeman says:

    Of all the planets in our solar system, Venus is the hottest one, even hotter than Mercury, the planet closest to the sun. Venus, whose daytime temperature can reach 900 degrees Fahrenheit (464 degrees Celsius), is surrounded by a thick gaseous layer that consists mostly of carbon dioxide. When the sun’s rays reach Venus, the carbon dioxide traps the heat within, causing a kind of planetary greenhouse effect. With its noxious carbon dioxide gas, its roaring temperatures and its fierce winds that storm across its surface, Venus is understandably known as one of the most inhospitable planets.
    http://curiosity.discovery.com/question/venus-hottest-planet

    • gator69 says:

      Venus is hot because of its extremely high atmospheric pressure and its proximity to the Sun.

      • Proximity to the sun does not have much of a direct effect on temperatures, because a thick cloud layer in the upper atmosphere reflects most of the sunlight back into space. The only important factor affecting Venus temperature is the atmospheric pressure.

  104. Jodie Johansson says:

    Does anyone know Al Gore’s email address? I have an article I’d like to forward to him.

  105. JS says:

    The earth is billions of years old, and the climate data we have is at best is accurate for 150 years. So the information used to determine “manmade global warming” is about the same as going to a street corner and asking 10 people if they feel hot, then basing your study on the world climate on the opinion of those 10 people. It’s a shame that this was ever considered “science”.

    Enough with the sensationalist headlines! It reads one of the coldest years in US History, yet the first paragraph of the article says since 1895. SO, are you stupid or something? The US has been here since 1776, dimwits.

  109. Dashmooz, stevengoddard,, and others. I hear many theories that are built on false assumptions.
    1) “Global warming stopped 15 years ago”: This is a laughable claim. 1998 had the warmest “El Nino in 100 yrs, and that vast ocean warming shot temps so high, that the next few years might have been slightly lower, but still warmer than any year pre mid 1990’s. And 2005 and 2010 were warmer than 1998. Another thing you have to look at are the “cold year (trough) trends as even the cooler years post 2000 are warmer than the 120 years before. Thats why the decade of 2000-2010 was the warmest on record, blowing away and bugus claim that warming ended in 1998. See chart on this link and get back to me,
    http://www.skepticalscience.com/pics/Hottest_on_record.gif

    • gator69 says:

      I thought you had an issue with bloggers. 😆

      So glad that you admit natural fluctuations like El Niño are responsible for climate changes.

      Class dismissed!

      • You got it wrong. Its the natural fluctuation of Warm (El Nino) followed the next year by Cold (La Nina) created a brief 2-3 year downtrend which many denialists, thirsting for a nugget, latched onto in order to say “warming ended”. But then 10 more years of the warmest temps on record blew that bogus claim away, but some blindly continue to repeat it. Now class is dismissed. 🙂

      • Earl Murphy says:

        Sunspots create an El Nino right?

        • gator69 says:

          There is correlation of El Niño and sunspots, but unlike the warmists, we know that correlation does not necessarily mean causation. Anyone who has made sun tea, or been to the pool on a cloudy day knows that the Sun, and not CO2, warms water.

    • tom0mason says:

      And what in any of these variations is not natural, where’s the proof that these are not natural.

    • alpha2actual says:

      Woodfortrees.org, hosted by a practical environmentalist Brit, has all of the pertinent climate related datasets and an interactive feature with many tools to plot data. The two satillite datasets clearly indicate that the temperature, globally, have been flat for the past 14 years. I recommend this site because I’m cynical and like to see the raw data, unadjusted, for myself. Warning, this site is extremely addictive.

  110. Roger Harper says:

    Al Gore and Jesse Jackson are both people that if they advocate anything I am 180 opposed. They are both frauds and posers.

  111. Another common “claim” by denialists is that the observed temperature data is artificially manipulated to show warming. One famous “skeptic” Dr Mueller, felt this way and did a lengthy investigation of past weather station data to prove his point. When Dr. Mueller finished, he instead concluded that the past data was indeed valid, and that the recent warming was indeed largely mane-made. Check out your “former” PhD skeptic turned believer:

      One famous “nonskeptic” Dr Mueller. There I fixed your mistake!

    • tom0mason says:

      Another common “claim” by warmists is that the observed temperature rise is artificially (mann-made) and now is warming. It’s actually just a natural cycle.

      fixed that one too.

      • There is no natural cycle in the past 150 years of modern climate data that mimics what is ongoing today. This might help explain it better:

          “The Truth about Skeptical Science

          Skeptical Science is a climate alarmist website created by a self-employed cartoonist, John Cook. It is moderated by zealots who ruthlessly censor any and all form of dissent from their alarmist position. This way they can pretend to win arguments, when in reality they have all been refuted. The abuse and censorship does not pertain to simply any dissenting commentator there but to highly credentialed and respected climate scientists as well; Dr. Pielke Sr. has unsuccessfully attempted to engage in discussions there only to be childishly taunted and censoredwhile Dr. Michaels has been dishonestly quoted andsmeared. The irony of the site’s oxymoronic name “Skeptical Science” is that the site is not skeptical of even the most extreme alarmist positions.

          John Cook is now desperately trying to cover up his background that he was employed as a cartoonist for over a decade with no prior employment history in academia or climate science.

          Thanks to the Wayback Machine we can reveal what his website originally said,

          “I’m not a climatologist or a scientist but a self employed cartoonist” – John Cook, Skeptical Science

          A link from the Skeptical Science “About” page originally went to his cartoonist page,

          “John Cook: A cartoonist working from home in Brisbane, Australia” – SEV

          It is very important for Mr. Cook to keep up this facade, as once people learn of his lack of credentials and scientifically worthless employment history they are unlikely to take his website seriously no matter how he desperately pads his resume. As opposed to the highly credentialed climate scientists his staff harassed and censored;

          Cooling from 1880-1910, from 1940-1970 alternating with warming from 1910-1940 and 1970-2000 makes for an obvious cycle.

      • Wong again: Damn you can’t hit the side of a barn with your come backs. Maybe you should stop throwing and re-calibrate.

        Dr. Mueller quote in NY Times July 2012:
        “Call me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.”.

        Richard Muller’s admission has gained additional attention because some of his research has been funded by Charles Koch of the Koch brothers, the right-wing billionaires known for funding climate skeptic groups like the Heartland Institute.

      • Gator,
        What “proof” do you have that Mueller lied about anything? That’s a strong assertion, Unless you have a CREDIBLE link, its just a baseless accusation, typical of denialists community.

        Back to your info you posted earlier, Skeptical Science is actually made up of a team of DOZENS of scientists who have degrees ranging from B.S. M.S or PhD’s, who in turn often gather quotes from other climatologists and use OFFICIAL temperature and other scientific data in their blogs. Nice try though trying to claim a cartoonist writes all that.(lol)

          “Let me be clear. My own reading of the literature and study of paleoclimate suggests strongly that carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels will prove to be the greatest pollutant of human history. It is likely to have severe and detrimental effects on global climate.” –

          http://www.technologyreview.com/news/402357/medieval-global-warming/2/

          “It is ironic if some people treat me as a traitor, since I was never a skeptic — only a scientific skeptic,” he said in a recent email exchange with The Huffington Post. “Some people called me a skeptic because in my best-seller ‘Physics for Future Presidents’ I had drawn attention to the numerous scientific errors in the movie ‘An Inconvenient Truth.’ But I never felt that pointing out mistakes qualified me to be called a climate skeptic.”

        • gator69 says:

          Mullet said man made CO2 was causing global warming ten years ago, then last year he claimed to be a recently converted skeptic. Are you thick?

        • gator69 says:

          You can produce at least ONE peer reviewed paper that refuted natural variability, can’t you. I mean with all the climate experts at your disposal this should not be an issue. Right? So where is it?

          Class dismissed until you find proof of your ridiculous claims, missy.

    • Muller lied about being a skeptic. He said this 10 years ago

      December 17, 2003

      “Let me be clear. My own reading of the literature and study of paleoclimate suggests strongly that carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels will prove to be the greatest pollutant of human history. It is likely to have severe and detrimental effects on global climate.” –

      • Wrong.
        Read his NY Times article, His skepticism was just a little later mid 2000’s thru about 2009, which is why far right wing groups like Koch Industries and Heartland began funding him.

        • tom0mason says:

          Richard Muller has never been a skeptic, at best he had a moment of intellectual honesty towards skeptics when he acknowledged Steve McIntyre’s debunking of Mann’s Hockey Stick, only to later dismiss this as irrelevant to the global warming debate, “This result should not affect any of our thinking on global warming”. Hardly surprising, as Muller considers the carbon dioxide produced from burning fossil fuels to be, “the greatest pollutant in human history” and likely to have, “severe and detrimental effects on global climate”. The future outlook for global warming according to Muller is that, “it’s going to get much, much worse” and thus advocates that the United States immediately pay China and India hundreds of billions of dollars to cut back their carbon emissions or, “it’ll be too late”. No wonder he endorsed “The Earth is the Great Ship Titanic”, Steven Chu as “perfect” for U.S. Energy Secretary and Al Gore’s hypocritical alarmism,

          “If Al Gore reaches more people and convinces the world that global warming is real, even if he does it through exaggeration and distortion – which he does, but he’s very effective at it – then let him fly any plane he wants.” – Richard Muller, 2008

          “There is a consensus that global warming is real. …it’s going to get much, much worse.” – Richard Muller, 2008

          “Let me be clear. My own reading of the literature and study of paleoclimate suggests strongly that carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels will prove to be the greatest pollutant of human history. It is likely to have severe and detrimental effects on global climate.” – Richard Muller, 2003

      • You should read the rest of the article. In most of it Mueller is criticizing the “hockey stick” research. From the same article just above that quote:

        “It was unfortunate that many scientists endorsed the hockey stick before it could be subjected to the tedious review of time. Ironically, it appears that these scientists skipped the vetting precisely because the results were so important. ”

        Next fly I can swat down for you?

    • Ken Towe says:

      Lea writes…”Another common “claim” by denialists is that the observed temperature data is artificially manipulated to show warming.”

      Indeed… and isn’t that what Mr. Goddard is just trying to do here on his blog? Or have I missed something? More significantly, Steve hasn’t contacted either NCDC or GISS to confirm his “thesis” that HIS analysis of THEIR data shows that it has been massively “tampered” = “manipulated” to show warming. Right or wrong, they have been convicted without a trial. How fair is that, regardless of your view on “climate change”?

      • Gamecock says:

        The data speaks for itself.

        • Ken Towe says:

          The data do speak for themselves, very clearly. 2013 will not be one of the coldest years, not even close, regardless of how cold December turns out to be.

        • gator69 says:

          Spoken like a true “believer”.

        • Ken Towe says:

          We will find out in a month about the full year. Gatorland’s coldest winter (DJF) was in 1958 (53.5°F). And in 2013 it was 62.8°F. Gamecock’s coldest winter was in 1976 (40.4°F) but this year “only” 49.3°F… Brrrrr.

        • gator69 says:

          Just where is ‘Gatorland’? Are you making assumptions again?

          I find it amusing that warmists always think they know it all.

        • Ken Towe says:

          Good for you Gator…that’s a very good point. Mr. Goddard doesn’t include the UHI either. Look at his long list of the USHCN stations above. Try to find a major city…. one where, of course, the data have been massively tampered with. Those “true believers” have tried to eliminate or reduce the UHI effect by “throwing out” high population center values. Of course, that “trick” doesn’t make the UHI go away. Why don’t you see if you can find some of that “lost” data?

        • gator69 says:

          Kent, I was a climatology student before data fraud was cool. If you have anything worth adding to the conversation please do so, if not, then quit wasting our time.

          This is how they warmed the globe, by eliminating stations at highs altitudes, higher latitudes, and rural locations, in favor of lower latitudes with higher population densities in marine influenced locations. Then they started cooling the past and warming the present. Even a fifth grader understands this.

          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58mDaK9bH5o&feature=player_embedded

        • Ken Towe says:

          “…in favor of lower latitudes with higher population densities in marine influenced locations.” Back in 1987 Hansen and Lebedeff wrote: “we also test the importance of urban heat island effects by selectively eliminating city stations from the analysis… A contradiction?

          Do any of the USCHN stations listed above fall into the category of higher population densities at lower latitude with marine influence? Miami, FL? Not there. Nor is New Orleans or Houston. Must be one somewhere.

  112. sammie says:

    it’s obvious.. lea just needs layed

  113. As usual these claims of Mueller were taken totally out of contest. Lets fill in the blanks,shall we?

    ” I would love to believe that the results of Mann et al. are correct, and that the last few years have been the warmest in a millennium. Love to believe? My own words make me shudder. They trigger my scientist’s instinct for caution.”

    He’s sarcastically saying he would love to believe Mann…BUT then writes why that would be wrong.

    Only someone being disingenuous, trying to spin things from the truth, would take that initial sarcasm from Mueller and twist it into him not being skeptical of Manns results.

    • gator69 says:

      Heros dies hard, don’t they Lea? It sucks finding out that someone you trusted lied to you. But don’t worry, when you mature a bit you will realize that it is better to question, than to simply accept.

      BTW, found that paper yet? Class will resume once you have

    • So when he said “I was never a skeptic” he meant he was always a skeptic.

  114. Regarding Matt Selby, here is a rebuttal (with graphics and reference links) that shows how incorrect Salby is regarding the Carbon Cycle.
    Murry Salby – Confused About The Carbon Cycle
    http://www.skepticalscience.com/Murry-Salby-Confused-About-The-Carbon-Cycle.html

    Otherwise, Salby is a moot point. He was recently fired from his university for misconduct.(lol)

    “Our investigation revealed that the subject (Dr Salby), consistently and over a period of many years, violated or disregarded various federal and NSF award administration requirements, violated university policies related to conflicts and outside compensation, and repeatedly misled both NSF and the university as to material facts about his outside companies and other matters relating to NSF awards”
    http://www.desmogblog.com/2013/07/12/murry-salby-sacked-australian-university–banned-national-science-foundation

    Anything else?

    • gator69 says:

      Yep!

      “First and foremost, there is nothing in any of the NSF claims that questions Murry Salby’s scientific research. This is about paperwork and whether bureaucratic procedures have been properly followed, not about his science.

      There is another side to the story and a long and complex history regarding Murry Salby’s work at Colorado University (CU). It started way back in 1997 when he noticed funds were going missing from his NSF-funded research group. After requests for their return were ignored, he reported it to the NSF. By 2003 it reached the stage where the NSF launched a criminal investigation into Colorado University for misappropriation of research funds. The investigation stopped when $100,000 was returned to Salby’s group. Salby was unable to find out where half those missing funds had been placed during the time they had been missing. Possibly this did not make him friends at CU.

      Later after Salby left CU in 2008 to come to Australia, Colorado University withheld his computer files and work. After requests for those were also ignored, he launched a case from Australia, and won access to everything — CU paid legal costs as well. Curiously, soon after Salby launched that case, the NSF revived a dormant scientific investigation against Murry which went on to make some extremely serious claims — claims that Salby completely disputes (see his full letter).

      Salby had already moved to Australia when the NSF investigation was revived, so he could not apply for any more NSF grants. He explains that given the expense and distance, there was little point in launching a major legal protest to a debarment from funding that he was no longer eligible for in any case.

      Hyperbole and tenuous reasoning?

      At a glance, anyone reading the NSF report might come away thinking Salby “fabricated” time-sheets, a rather serious accusation. Yet on page 30 of the NSF document, even the Acting Deputy Director of the NSF admitted there was “insufficient evidence to support this allegation”.

      NSF Report, Deputy Director Cora B. Marrett, p 30

      The time and effort reports were a key point, mentioned more than 20 times, and referred to in dramatic language with words like “inaccurate”, “fabricated” and “fraudulent”. The allegation over the time sheets were described as “The most egregious act…” in the report. Other points also hinged on this point for which evidence was “insufficient”.

      The report even goes so far as to declare they were “separately created years after the fact”. How did such a serious and unsupported claim become written all through the final report?

      For the record, Salby notes that timesheets were filed years earlier by his administrative staff, who kept them on file and later invoiced his hours (see his Fig 2a and Fig 3). Salby wonders why the NSF did not pursue those records more diligently, and if the cumulative hours were so unbelievable why they found no fault when they were originally submitted.

      As for evidence, apparently the NSF report authors thought that Salby’s hours were “highly implausible”, saying that scientists would not work 14 -16 hours stretches for three months at a time. This may be true for administrators, but it is not necessarily so for scientists. Those hours are unusual, but not implausible for a dedicated researcher.

      One other major claim by the NSF was that Salby had submitted two proposals that overlapped. Apparently 53% of one proposal was identical to an earlier one (which didn’t get funding, so this was not about “extra income” or double dipping). I wouldn’t have thought it was that out-of-the-ordinary for submissions to reuse the reviews and references in similar research. Salby certainly feels the submissions were very different projects, and explains one concentrated on dynamics in the troposphere with meteorological data whereas the other concentrated on chemistry in the stratosphere with satellite data. Salby’s documentation shows that NSF officials had even been notified of the other proposal, which was to be considered for co-sponsorship (see Fig 1a and Fig 1b) Note in Fig 1a, the reviewers were very impressed with the proposal, which was knocked back on a technicality. Later, when it was resubmitted, the reviewers were critical of the NSF for wasting their time by not approving it the first time around. The NSF investigation began a couple of weeks after those criticisms).

      Some of the other claims with drastic terms include allegations of overcharging and compensation in excess of approved amounts. I gather this is because at one point a member of Salby’s team left. When no one else could be found, Salby filled in for the more junior staff member (and at lower pay rates) during leave from his CU employment (Fig 5 shows reduced CU employment during one such year). Salby evidently displeased the NSF by getting onto the job, and not seeking pre-approval. The NSF claim it was a reason for debarring him and say he was obligated to inform them. Salby replies that this was no different than the re-assignment of duties to other research staff, performed routinely to meet grant obligations. He notes also that NSF had in fact been informed every quarter, in regular expense reports (see Fig 6). Salby notes that the grant charges were unchanged from what had been budgeted. And, curiously, NASA operated under the same arrangements, yet had no such issues.

      This is not a bun-fight I want to get into, I’m more interested in the scientific research he is doing. But unskeptical activists are spinning what appears to be an unbalanced, inconsistent report to do what they do — attack the man, to distract us from his research. (If only DeSmog had scientific evidence they wouldn’t need to run the smear campaigns, would they?)

      Note that the NSF report, as “authoritative” as it appears on the surface, made a serious allegation that couldn’t even be supported. This was not a criminal investigation. There were no financial repercussions in the sense that there were no repayments involved, no changes to the grants being investigated, and no question that his scientific work did not measure up. Ultimately it boils down to paperwork and bureaucratese. That doesn’t mean Salby was a Saint, but I am surprized at the hyperbole used in the NSF investigation. To make repeated claims without evidence seems most untoward. It would appear that the author(s) were not approaching this calmly and dispassionately.

      Now, can we please get on with the science'”

      Now where is that paper missy? Why do you avoid the central question? Because you must.

      • rw says:

        Gator, you’re amazing. You know exactly how to handle these ATT’s (that’s airheads with talking points – unisex designation, of course). Notice how she never answers these detailed rebuttals, but just goes on to the next comment as if they were never made. That seems to be part of their MO – I recall that TowerOfCheese did the same thing when he was flitting around this site some time ago. It’s almost as if as long as they can keep up their palaver they see them selves as winning the debate.

        • gator69 says:

          Thanks for the kind words rw. I simply stand on the shoulders of giants.

          I have always been fascinated by this planet, and am especially enthralled with the massive forces that have altered its surface and climate, I would rather study the latest arguments and science regarding these processes than just about anything else. I do not spend time on sports, video games, American Idol or much of the other pastimes of my peers. I read alot, and always have. I have to give credit to the scientists whose work I have been fortunate enough to review, they are the really amazing folks.

          It has been noted that skeptics are generally more knowledgable about climate science, and this is because we are more receptive to alternate theories and more likely to ask questions and seek answers. Warmists just have nothing new to offer, it is always the same old tired story. The grantologists and puppeteers know this and this is why they either refuse to debate, or when they do, lose badly. The cheerleaders simply do not know that there is no science backing the wild rhetoric and foolishly stick their necks out. My only desire would be to see them ask honest questions, instead of taking every alarmist claim on blind faith.

          I ran across this quote later in life, not knowing I had already adopted as a child.

          “Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.”
          – Thomas Jefferson

          Words we should all live by, no matter our backgrounds or personal opinions. This credo has caused me to change core beliefs in the past, and made debate a cake walk. The truth WILL set you free.

  115. Tomomoson, Don’t get too hung up on Mueller not being as much of a redmeat skeptic as you would like. Reason is, there are very very few true climate scientists who are anymore…namely 3% (many of whom take Energy Industry $$ funneled from various sources).compared to 97% on the other side of the fence. For every legit Climatologist (not geologist or dentist) that you can name as a skeptic or more to the point, denialist, there are 30 who disagree. Thats about as one sided as it gets in scientific debate.
    The debate itself is over.
    You also need to get over it and stop reading just one side of the issue.

    • gator69 says:

      God leftists are gullible! 😆

      “An invitation to participate in the survey was sent to 10,257 Earth scientists…. In our survey, the most specialized and knowledgeable respondents (with regard to climate change) are those who listed climate science as their area of expertise and who also have published more than 50% of their recent peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change (79 individuals in total). Of these specialists, 96.2% (76 of 79) answered “risen” to question 1 and 97.4% (75 of 77) answered yes to question 2.”

      And here were the questions asked:

      1. When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant?
      2. Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?

      Significant can be 10%. Note that there was no opportunity in the survey (which was not subject to peer, or any other review, which explains its blatant flaws) to quantify or even discuss what part natural variability had to play. They sent out 10,257 surveys, received 3146 replies (seems that most Earth scientists were not even concerned enough to reply), and used only 79 to come up with a 97% consensus that the Earth has warmed since the Little Ice Age, and man may have been a minor contributor. By their ‘figuring’ that means that 2.5% of those who responded to the survey agree the Earth has warmed. EARTH SHATTERING!!! 😆

      This is the sort of manipulation that warmists use to fool the public into thinking we have a problem. Truth be told, I would answer ‘yes’ to question 1, and ‘maybe’ to question 2.

      If you do not understand that you have been duped by the grantologists, I have a very nice bridge for sale, and 97% of bridge experts say you should buy it.

      • Uhm, I think the reason so many did not respond back was simply that they thought the debate was over, and weren’t going to answer an absurd question as to whether there is still a debate over AGW..

        Otherwise, the survey seems valid

        • gator69 says:

          No Lea, you don’t think. You ‘believe’.

          Found that paper yet? Or do you wish to further illustrate your religion?

        • rw says:

          “I think the reason so many did not respond back was …” That’s called unwarranted speculation. Always a reply, no matter how weak. Have to keep up the pretense that you know what you’re talking about.

          What they did with that survey was to whittle the group down until it only included the kool-aid drinkers. Then, surprise!, they got their 97%. And this allowed all the ATT’s to run with it. Unfortunately for the latter, bringing up that 97% figure demonstrates that one has no real ability to distinguish fact from fancy – and probably no real interest in doing so. Plato called it sophistry – which shows among other things that it’s been a burden on this “patient world” (H/T H. James) for a long, long time.

    • That proves it. The Arctic really is ice-free after all.

  116. Here you go Gator,
    From NOAA, via the National Ocean Service.
    “It is very unlikely that the 20th-century warming can be explained by natural causes. The late 20th century has been unusually warm. Palaeoclimatic reconstructions show that the second half of the 20th century was likely the warmest 50-year period in the Northern Hemisphere in the last 1300 years. This rapid warming is consistent with the scientific understanding of how the climate should respond to a rapid increase in greenhouse gases like that which has occurred over the past century, and the warming is inconsistent with the scientific understanding of how the climate should respond to natural external factors such as variability in solar output and volcanic activity.”

      • kingbum says:

        wait…late 1800s didnt a little ice age end? Wouldnt that logically suggest a warming period? Now everything is cyclical in nature wouldn’t it suggest that since we have been at a perpetual uptick since 1880 that there will be a downturn? What goes up must come down….every action has an equal and opposite reaction….lol seems like all natural law is indicating its time for a downturn. ..remember now its cyclical meaning there is no up without a down…..and vice versa

    • tom0mason says:

      The denier in nature and it’s variability is back then.
      Have you managed to find a scientific paper yet that proves the global temperature and/or the CO2 level is outside natural bounds yet?

      No?

  117. Its an official gov’t publication from NOAA, chock-ful of PhD’s who specialize in Atmospheric research. But I’m sure you are more qualified than they are (lol) They seem to combine a lot of information from an IPCC report (Oh, that’s right, they’re all corrupt and you’re more knowledgeable than the IPCC as well). LMAO).

    They cited references from the bottom of their condensed product.

    IPCC, 2007:
    Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis. Contribution of Working Group I to the Fourth Assessment
    Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
    [Solomon, S., D. Qin, M. Manning, Z. Chen, M. Marquis, K.B. Averyt,
    M.Tignor and H.L. Miller (eds.)]. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom and New York, NY, USA.

  118. Regarding that 4th IPCC report:

    People from over 130 countries contributed to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, which took 6 years to produce,included more than 2500 scientific expert reviewers, more than 800 contributing authors, and more than 450 lead authors.

    “Robust findings” of the Synthesis report include:

    “Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising global average sea level. Most of the global average warming over the past 50 years is “very likely” (greater than 90% probability, based on expert judgement)[ due to human activities.

    Basically NOT due to natural variation. And looking at either the NASA-GISS, NCDC or HADCRUT temps, its obvious something totally out of the norm has been going on for the past 30 years. Given that so many “skeptics”…I won’t even honor them with that term…lets just say “denialists” try to push tat warming ended in 1998 when the data and running mean trendlines clearly show otherwise, maes me wonder why anyone would want to listen to anything else they have to say. From what I’ve seen, most on the denialist side are either getting funded by Heartland, Koch Bros or any other front $$ launderer organization from the energy industry, or just perhaps a few disgruntled scientists who didn’t quite make the cut to get a University position and are relegated to the blogosphere.

    FYI…Before you go off on another IPCC attsck…the IPCC does NOT pay its scientists. They are a voluntary group, thousands of researchers who participate separate from their “day job”.. It does not get anymore “peer reviewed” than that.

    • tom0mason says:

      So we’re all going to fry eh? Because the IPCC says so. You are so gullible.

      Please could you find a a scientific paper yet?

      That’s still a no I see.

    • gator69 says:

      BS talking points.

      Where is the evidence?

      FYI – here is what real scientists say about the IPCC…

      “The IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn’t listen to others. It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists.” – Indian geologist Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of the UN-supported International Year of the Planet.

      “Temperature measurements show that the [climate model-predicted mid-troposphere] hot zone is non-existent. This is more than sufficient to invalidate global climate models and projections made with them!”- UN IPCC Scientist Dr. Steven M. Japar, a PhD atmospheric chemist who was part of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Second (1995) and Third (2001) Assessment Reports, and has authored 83 peer-reviewed publications and in the areas of climate change, atmospheric chemistry, air pollutions and vehicle emissions.

      “I was at the table with three Europeans, and we were having lunch. And they were talking about their role as lead authors. And they were talking about how they were trying to make the report so dramatic that the United States would just have to sign that Kyoto Protocol,”Christy told CNN on May 2, 2007. – Alabama State Climatologist Dr. John Christy of the University of Alabama in Huntsville, served as a UN IPCC lead author in 2001 for the 3rd assessment report and detailed how he personally witnessed UN scientists attempting to distort the science for political purposes.

      “Gore prompted me to start delving into the science again and I quickly found myself solidly in the skeptic camp…Climate models can at best be useful for explaining climate changes after the fact.” – Meteorologist Hajo Smit of Holland, who reversed his belief in man-made warming to become a skeptic, is a former member of the Dutch UN IPCC committee.

      “The quantity of CO2 we produce is insignificant in terms of the natural circulation between air, water and soil… I am doing a detailed assessment of the UN IPCC reports and the Summaries for Policy Makers, identifying the way in which the Summaries have distorted the science.” – South African Nuclear Physicist and Chemical Engineer Dr. Philip Lloyd, a UN IPCC co-coordinating lead author who has authored over 150 refereed publications.

      “After reading [UN IPCC chairman] Pachauri’s asinine comment [comparing skeptics to] Flat Earthers, it’s hard to remain quiet.” – Climate statistician Dr. William M.

      [Of the IPCC panel] “Here was a purely political body posing as a scientific institution. Through the power of patronage it rapidly attracted acolytes. Peer review soon rapidly evolved from the old style refereeing to a much more sinister imposition of The Censorship. As Wegman demonstrated, new circles of like-minded propagandists formed, acting as judge and jury for each other. Above all, they acted in concert to keep out alien and hostile opinion. ‘Peer review’ developed into a mantra that was picked up by political activists who clearly had no idea of the procedures of science or its learned societies. It became an imprimatur of political acceptability, whose absence was equivalent to placement on the proscribed list,” Dr. John Brignell, a UK Emeritus Engineering Professor at the University of Southampton who held the Chair in Industrial Instrumentation at Southampton

      Former UN IPCC scientist bluntly told the Senate EPW committee how the UN IPCC Summary for Policymakers “distorted” the scientists work. “I have found examples of a Summary saying precisely the opposite of what the scientists said,” South African Nuclear Physicist and Chemical Engineer Dr. Philip Lloyd, a UN IPCC co-coordinating lead author who has authored over 150 refereed publications.

      “I am withdrawing [from the UN] because I have come to view the part of the IPCC to which my expertise is relevant as having become politicized. In addition, when I have raised my concerns to the IPCC leadership, their response was simply to dismiss my concerns.” “I personally cannot in good faith continue to contribute to a process that I view as both being motivated by pre-conceived agendas and being scientifically unsound,”Hurricane expert Christopher W. Landsea of NOAA’s National Hurricane Center

      “The same individuals who are doing primary research in the role of humans on the climate system are then permitted to lead the [IPCC] assessment! There should be an outcry on this obvious conflict of interest, but to date either few recognize this conflict, or see that since the recommendations of the IPCC fit their policy and political agenda, they chose to ignore this conflict. In either case, scientific rigor has been sacrificed and poor policy and political decisions will inevitably follow,…We need recognition among the scientific community, the media, and policymakers that the IPCC process is obviously a real conflict of interest, and this has resulted in a significantly flawed report.” Former Colorado State Climatologist Dr. Roger Pielke Sr.

      “The Kyoto theorists have put the cart before the horse. It is global warming that triggers higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, not the other way round…A large number of critical documents submitted at the 1995 U.N. conference in Madrid vanished without a trace. As a result, the discussion was one-sided and heavily biased, and the U.N. declared global warming to be a scientific fact.” Andrei Kapitsa, a Russian geographer and Antarctic ice core researcher

      “The science has, quite simply, gone awry. In fact, it’s not even science any more, it’s anti-science. There is absolutely no proof that carbon dioxide is anything to do with any impending catastrophe.” UK Botanist and ex-BBC broadcaster Dr. David Bellamy (who used to believe in man-made climate fears.)

      And this is the tip of the iceberg.

      Found even ONE paper that refutes NV?

  119. Those who degenerates to name calling basically admit defeat in an argument and are not worthy of serious debate.

    The IPCC report qualifies as a peer reviewed document. You might not like what they have to say, but I challenge you to find someone MORE QUALIFIED than those thousands of scientists on the IPCC who has a more compelling argument.

    Best you might come up with was a rouge doctor who got fired for misconduct or perhaps chain smoking skeptic Lindzen who also believes that there is no discernible link between smoking and lung cancer.

      “IPCC Criticism

      The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) officially released its Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) in 2007. This document is often regarded as the definitive word on the science behind global warming. However, AR4 gives a distorted, misleading, biased and often erroneous picture. Examples of these distortions are listed here, with attention focused on the Working Group 1 Report “The Physical Science Basis” (WG1), and in particular its Summary for Policymakers (SPM). Curiously, the SPM was released in February 2007, several months before the main report. Confusingly, a “Synthesis Report” was issued in November 2007, with its own SPM. More background to the structure of the IPCC report is given here.

      Errors, Distortions and Exaggerations in the WGI Report

      How the IPCC invented a new calculus. The IPCC authors invented a new way of measuring the slope of a graph, in order to create the false impression that global warming is accelerating.
      The table that didn’t add up. The WG1 SPM was approved by the IPCC even though it contained a table with arithmetic errors. The table was quietly corrected with no admission of the error.
      False statement about Antarctic sea ice. The IPCC claims that there is no significant trends in Antarctic sea ice. In fact several papers (ignored by the IPCC) show a significant positive trend.
      Misleading claims about sea level rise. AR4 gives the misleading impression that the rate of sea level rise is increasing, using the trick of switching from one measurement system (tide gauges) to another (satellites).
      Incorrect calculation of an average. An arithmetic error was made in the calculation of an average of a contribution to radiative forcing. Hence four diagrams in AR4 are wrong and misleading.
      False claims about Antarctic ice sheet. The IPCC claims that the Antarctic ice sheet is melting and that this is contributing to sea level rise, but recent research papers show that in fact the ice sheet is thickening.
      Dubious claims about Greenland ice sheet. The IPCC claims that the Greenland ice sheet is melting and causing sea level to rise – ignoring or misrepresenting research that shows the opposite.
      Erroneous claims about snow cover. The IPCC makes the false claim that snow cover is decreasing in both hemispheres.
      Exaggerated claims about water vapour. The IPCC summary claims that water vapour has increased. In fact studies show no significant trend or in some cases a decrease.
      Misleading claims on increased tropical cyclone activity. The IPCC states that tropical cyclones have increased, by cherry-picking start dates, but their own data shows no evidence of this.
      The IPCC contradicts itself over the medieval warm period. The IPCC’s own data shows clear evidence that the medieval warm period was as warm as the late 20th century, but the text states the opposite.
      False statement about paleoclimate studies. The IPCC claims that there is increased confidence in proxy temperature reconstructions, but in fact the opposite is the case.
      Proxies that aren’t proxies. The IPCC makes use of ‘proxy’ data such as tree rings to justify their claim that current temperatures are unusual – but this data doesn’t match measured temperature.
      Downplaying the urban heat island effect. The IPCC significantly underestimates the influence of the fact that many temperature measurement sites are located in cities.
      The UN misquotes its own report. A UN press release coinciding with the release of AR4 blatantly misquoted the report, incorrectly claiming that man-made global warming was unequivocal.
      Underestimating past variation in carbon dioxide. The IPCC claims that variation of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere was very low, ignoring published research that shows much greater variation.
      Biased reporting of the literature. One of many examples where the IPCC ignores or disparages research that does not support its agenda, in the area of past solar activity.
      Where’s the beef? The crucial step of the argument for global warming – how carbon dioxide causes heating – is barely mentioned and the numbers not justified by the IPCC.
      Hypothetical positive feedback. The alarming predictions of the IPCC rely on the assumption of a strong positive feedback, for which there is no evidence.
      The lost continent of Antarctica. A world map of ‘global warming’ in the SPM omits Antarctica, where there has been cooling.
      Misleading claims about increased greenhouse effect. The IPCC claims that observations show an increase in the greenhouse effect, referring to one paper but ignoring more recent ones.
      Misleading statement about ocean heat. The IPCC SPM says that ocean heat content is increasing, without mentioning a paper that shows recent ocean cooling.
      Ignoring research that does not fit the agenda. Work of a Finnish research team with 34 publications in the field of tree ring temperature reconstructions is completely ignored by the IPCC.
      Inconsistent statement about wind strength. The IPCC SPM claims that the strength of westerly winds has increased – but if true this would be evidence for cooling of the atmosphere.
      Error regarding total radiative forcing. The ‘total net anthropogenic radiative forcing’ given by the IPCC is incorrect, according to climate scientist Roger Pielke.
      Unfair citation of criticism. IPCC author Kevin Trenberth cites his own criticism of the work of other authors, but does not mention those authors’ response to his criticism.
      Ignoring criticism of the surface temperature record. Many papers have been written raising questions about the accuracy and bias of surface temperature measurements, but these are ignored by the IPCC.
      No explanation for mid-century cooling. The IPCC has no consistent or valid explanation for a period of cooling from 1940-1970.
      False statements about tropospheric warming. The IPCC claims that the troposphere (lower atmosphere) has warmed more than the surface, but the IPCC’s own graphs show that this is not true.
      Unsubstantiated claims of human influence. The IPCC makes confident claims about man’s influence on the climate but has no evidence to support these claims.
      Misleading temperature trends (1). The IPCC claims that the trend from 1906-2005 is larger than that from 1901-2000 due to recent warm years, but in fact this is due to a sharp drop in temperatures from 1901-1906.
      Misleading temperature trends (2). The IPCC compares chalk with cheese in order to convey the false impression that temperature trends are increasing.
      False claim of warming since the TAR. The IPCC’s claim that temperatures have increased since its 2001 Third Assessment Report is demonstrably false.
      More false statements on temperature trends. The IPCC significantly underestimates temperature trends in the early part of the 20th century.
      False claims about hurricanes. The IPCC makes unsustainable claims about increasing hurricane activity and a link with global warming, ignoring key papers that find no link; this lead to one expert resigning from the IPCC.
      If you don’t like it, resign. Some scientists who do not support the IPCC agenda find they have no alternative but to resign from the IPCC process.
      Reviewer comments ignored. The IPCC reports undergo a process of review by scientists and goverments. But many valid comments and criticisms of the IPCC view are simply ignored.
      Exaggerated claims of increased precipitation. The IPCC summary greatly exaggerates the claims from its main report about an alleged very slight increase in heavy rainfall events.
      Trying to suppress work that doesn’t support the agenda. IPCC authors try to keep a paper by McKitrick and Michaels out of AR4, “even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is”.
      Hiding the decline – in the number of storms. IPCC authors insert a line about increasing wind strength into the final version of the SPM. They discuss evidence for declining number of storms but decide not to mention this.
      Hiding inconvenient proxy data. The IPCC refused to show proxy ice core data showing a warm medieval period in the Southern hemisphere, despite acknowledging a lack of such data and despite reviewer comments.
      False confidence in man-made warming. The IPCC SPM claims “very high confidence” regarding the quantification of man-mad global warming, but the main body of the report is much more cautious.
      Spinning the literature on cloud feedback. IPCC authors regurgitate chunks of their own papers on clouds, but cut back sections that refer to negative cloud feedback.
      Cherry-picking solar irradiance reconstructions. The IPCC selects outdated estimates of past solar radiance (to try to ‘explain’ early 20th century warming) while ignoring more recent research that shows very little variation.
      False confidence in long-term climate predictions. The IPCC makes the ridiculous claim that predicting the climate 50 years ahead is much easier than predicting the weather a few weeks ahead.
      Errors, Distortions and Exaggerations in the WGII Report
      Incorrect claim about Himalayan glaciers. The IPCC incorrectly said that Himalayan glaciers could melt to one fifth of their current area by 2035. This is probably a misreading of 2350.
      False claims about disaster losses. The IPCC claims a link between disaster losses and climate, by relying on a single cherry-picked non-peer-reviewed paper.
      Unsubstantiated claim about loss of Amazon rainforest. Chapter 13 of WGII claimed that 40% of the Amazon rainforest could ‘react drastically’ to a change in climate. The source for this was a WWF report that does not even support the claim. See also BBC report and The Telegraph.
      Error about the Netherlands and sea level. Chapter 12 of WGII claims that 55% of The Netherlands is below sea level. In fact the figure is about 26%. See also reports here and here.
      Unsubstantiated claims about Africa. A claim repeatedly made by the IPCC that agricultural yields in some African countries could fall by 50% as soon as 2020 has no basis.
      False claims about wildfires and climate. The IPCC claims that wildfires influence tourism, relying on newspaper reports and ignoring three expert reviewers who identify problems with this claim.
      Errors, Distortions and Exaggerations in the WGIII Report

      The report of Working Group III of the IPCC is concerned with “Mitigation of Climate Change”.
      Richard Tol, Professor of Economics, has investigated WGIII and reported his results at Roger Pielke Jr.’s blog. In his overall summary, he writes that the IPCC “substantially and knowingly misrepresents the state of the art in our understanding of the costs of emission reduction. It leads the reader to the conclusion that emission reduction is much cheaper and easier than it will be in real life.” He also writes that “all errors point in one direction: alarmism about climate change”, and refers to the “inability of the IPCC to constructively engage with valid criticism”. His specific criticisms are as follows:
      Part I. Claims by the IPCC in WGIII chapter 11 that climate policy would stimulate growth and create jobs are biased and not based on peer-reviewed literature.
      Part II. Again in Chapter 11, the IPCC highlights work that supports the view that costs of emission reduction are low, while ignoring or misquoting studies that find such costs are high.
      Part III. In the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) in WGIII, the IPCC underestimates the costs of emissions reduction, failing to correct its estimates for selection bias.
      Part IV. In Chapter 3, the IPCC misrepresents a paper (Fisher et al 2006), ignoring complaints about this by reviewers.
      Part V. In Chapter 3 and in the SPM, the IPCC incorrectly claims that exchange rates are immaterial, and misrepresents the literature. Several reviewer comments on this are ignored.
      Part VI. In the SPM, Table SPM1 underestimates the cost of reducing emissions, by a misleading process of “double counting”. The errors were pointed out by reviewers, but ignored by the IPCC.

      Acknowledgements: These examples come from many different sources. Many of them arise simply from a careful reading of AR4. Many originated from a thread at climate audit (which no longer exists) so thanks are due to those who contributed to that – especially Max. Several examples come from Roger Pielke’s Climate Science blog.
      A note on timings: Most of the items on WGI were written in the second half of 2008. The WGII and WGIII articles were written in early 2010, when the mainstream media started to note these errors.

        Now where is even ONE peer reviewed paper refuting nature. You keep giving me the same old lies, with no proof. Are you your ‘experts’ failing you?

      • LOL, cut and paste psycho babble. One claim that had me laughing, that I know is 100% false and stuck out at me right away was this:
        “False claims about wildfires and climate. The IPCC claims that wildfires influence tourism, relying on newspaper reports and ignoring three expert reviewers who identify problems with this claim.” Errors, Distortions and Exaggerations in the WGIII Report

        I live in the west. I have worked with fire fighting teams. I know for a fact that wildfires influence tourism SIGNIFICANTLY. Rim Fire in Yosemite this year cost local businesses hundreds of millions in lost tourism dollars (final numbers will be in the billions), plus had huge effect on air quality, cancelled many outdoor concerts, basically killed of many small businesses in the Sierra foothills who make most of their money during tourism/summer season.

        Also, big reason for massive increases in wildfires across CA and much of the west, is due to beetle infestation killing off many pines. Those bark beetles appeared in disproportionate numbers in the past 30 years, due DIRECTLY to increased warming, which has been confirmed thru numerous peer reviewed articles.
        http://www.pnas.org/content/110/6/2193
        http://cses.washington.edu/db/pdf/wacciach7forests650.pdf

        So basically, while you two clowns continue to spew nonsense,of there being no significant warming trend, sometimes wavering back to “well there might be warming after all but its due to something else” Climate Change, and its consequences, are already being felt by many. Which is why most have tuned the skeptic side out.

          Oh look! The natural variability denier tried to take a swing at 1 out of 57 points and struck out! 😆

          There is nothing unusual or unprecedented about recent wildfires or beetle infestations.

        • gator69 says:

          I just listed 57 separate and valid points of criticism of the IPCC and got nothing in return. The religious care not for facts, for them it is all about the faith. Lea et al have been brainwashed, and willingly so, because it fits their world view and agenda. My only agenda is seeking the truth, and this never compromises my ethics or principles.

          “Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.”
          – Thomas Jefferson

          Why is it so hard for them to offer proof of their claims? It makes one wonder, would they actually sentence a man to death without certainty, based upon the hearsay of those who stand to profit from his death? It is a frightening question. Let’s hope our lives are never held in the balance, at the mercy of such fools.

      Pathetic!

    • tom0mason says:

      OK I will bother with the leaked emails and how they reveal that the report’s authors knew all along that the evidence doesn’t support what the IPCC were saying.
      In October 2009 Kevin Trenberth, a major architect in the IPCC deceptions, wrote,

      “Well I have my own article on where the heck is global warming?…The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment, and it is a travesty that we can’t. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate.”

      Notice his explanation in the last sentence. He acknowledged this paucity in 1995 following the Release of a study on weather data by the National research Council. He said,

      “It’s very clear we do not have a climate of the serving system. This may be a shock to many people who assume that we do know adequately what’s going on with the climate, but we don’t.”

      The amount of data has decreased since that time Despite this he worked with the IPCC building computer models that are totally dependent on the amount and accuracy of the data. Even so, and with full knowledge of these failings, he signed the Bali Declaration that said in part,

      “The 2007 IPCC report, compiled by several hundred climate scientists, has unequivocally concluded that our climate is warming rapidly, and that we are now at least 90% certain that this is mostly due to human activities.”

      Isn’t it nice to know that people like this have a major input to your ‘oh, so respected’ IPCC.
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      Now there’s proof it’s a scam, they knew it was not real then, just as it is not now.

      Lea, are you as stupid as you pretend you are? Or as evil? Where is your proof that man is warming the planet? All you have provided is cherry picked warming and hearsay.

      What you are doing is exactly what brought us Nazi death camps and witch burnings. In our modern western society, we demand a fair trial before sentencing, and that means we review the facts and ignore opinion. Where are your facts?

      I have shown you repeatedly that those whose opinions you value cannot be trusted, and yet you continue with this kangaroo court. Are you crazy? Finding a corpse is not the same as finding the killer.

      Our wonderful planet has been around for 4.5 billion years, and the only constant has been change. Darwin said that climate change was the driver of species. Every change in climate since climate began has been through natural processes, and using logic, one must first rule out natural variability before one can blame man.

      Why is it that you cannot produce even ONE peer reviewed paper refuting NV? You keep telling us that the vast majority of climate experts say it is man, and assuming they are scientists they MUST have ruled out NV at the beginning of this search for the truth. Right?

      You are participating in a type of mob rule that dictates that the ends justify the means. I refuse to burn witches and gas Jews based upon hearsay, I refuse to convict an innocent man without proof.

  121. TomP says:

    Unfortunately, Steve Goddard doesn’t really provide enough information on how he derived the graph that he presented, but if we assume that he simply averaged all the data from the 1000-odd stations in this list, then he has a built-in bias arising from the fact that the geographic distribution is far from equal. For example, there a 15 stations listed in Texas, but 50 in New York state. There are around twice as many stations in the NCDC database east of the 100th meridian as west of the meridian. It is a known fact that western states are registering higher temperature rises than eastern states. In addition, there is the problem of the temporal distribution, with many stations starting operation mid 20th century and others closing down since 2000.

    • When I do comparisons vs. gridded data, the trends are identical. Northesatern US has warmed faster than the rest of the country, so your argument is backwards.

      • TomP says:

        You don’t say how you get your results. All you are telling us is that your results are different from NOAA, therefore NOAA is lying. But why should anyone believe your results if they can’t be verified?

  122. I don’t believe anyone anymore 🙁

  123. This is all about “Political Science”. After 16 years without an increase in temperatures the IPCC is even more certain that we have to stamp out CO2. Want something less serious? Pay me a visit for some entertaining photography.

          I have one near me that is on the roof of a museum, situated between air conditioning units. By definition it would not considered to be urban because it is not in a city.

          ROFLMAO!!!

  127. And Gator, Tom,
    If you want to criticize sensationalized climate reports, your first task is to write a letter of criticism to this article at the top. Using US data…2% of the earths surface, to make a claim for the entire planet? However, as we near the end of the year, the numbers are coming in, and making both of you look like total quacks, as 2013 is one month away from being confirmed as one of the top 10 warmest on record.

    – 2013 on track to be one of the top 10 warmest years on record –
    http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/geekquinox/2013-track-one-top-10-warmest-years-record-200559401.html

    So since both of you are so “concerned” about scientific integrity, could you perhaps post a rough draft of the critical letter you will write to the author of:
    “2013 Will Finish One Of The Ten Coldest Years In US History, With The Largest Drop In Temperature” and tell them how trying to connect that to the remainder 98% of the earths surface is utterly ridiculous.

    Also mention to them that November 2013 was likely the WARMEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD.

    I’ll be waiting for that letter…

    • Andy Oz says:

      You mean coldest on record. Fixed your typo there David.

    • gator69 says:

      Oh look! The natural variability denier is using adjusted(fraudulent) GIStemp data to make a claim, instead of more accurate satellite data which shows 2013 is not a top ten lister.

      Instead of waiting on a meaningless letter, why not find EVEN ONE peer reviewed paper that refutes natural variability as the cause of recent or any global warming. I have given toy ample time denier.

      ROFLMAO (Because the natural variability denier cannot produce proof)

      • Gator, whether its GISS, NCDC, or HADCRUT4 they all show basically the same thing, with only very minor differences.
        Go take a look at all 3 and get back to me.

        • gator69 says:

          And RSSS?

          BTW, found that paper yet?

          ROFLMAO!!!

        • They all (including RSS) show the same thing).
          http://c1planetsavecom.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/files/2010/12/global-Temperature-change.jpg

          BTW,
          The reason you don’t see many recent individual papers on separating variability from anthropogenic forcing is because its already accepted scientific fact. The papers on these were mainly in the 80’s and 90’s, and when the IPCC was set up afterwards, they continued to answer those questions in their periodical reports. I understand you don’t believe them because you think the want to wrest away control from the oil companies and do a “Dr Evil” and take over the world, but the fact remains that when a panel of thousands of IPCC researchers, from various countries, for no extra pay, conclude that there is a 90-95% chance that the warming is anthropogenic, then there is no impetus to publish another article to confirm it. Kind of like someone tying to publish something saying “smoking has a correlation to lung cancer”. This is all long term accepted scientific fact and is no longer “journal worthy”. Journals publish new finds, not confirm older ones already confirmed as fact beyond 90% significance.

          So the burden of proof is now on someone to publish a peer reviewed article (not a blog) in one of the major Climate Journals that discounts this. The best I’ve seen is that there might be some similarity between today’s temperatures and those of 1300 years ago, but the big unknown being whether its a cycle, since you need several events to identify a cycle. Warming from 1300 years ago could have been from increased solar radiation at the earths surface, not from added greenhouse gasses trapping long wave radiation (heat) from the earths surface. Got some of those, and we can look them over, perhaps agreeing on some of it, or shredding apart any bogus claims within it.

        • gator69 says:

          The graph is of adjusted data.

          And hand waving is not a paper!

          Epic fail.

          Still ROFLMAO!

  128. Andy,
    SEA ICE?
    WTF does SEA ice have to do in relation to GLACIAL ICE MASS over the land mass of Antarctica?
    Antarctic ICE MASS has decreased significantly in past 10 years, similar to the rate of the Greenland ice sheet. (see chart below)

    http://www.poletopolecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Figure-2.4-land-ice-sheets.jpg

    Ironically, the added freshwater from the melted Antarctic glacial ice adds extra fresh water to the surrounding ocean area. Since everyone (except propagandist sheep clamoring of sea ice) knows that fresh water freezes quicker than salt water, THAT is why you see a few more ice cubes floating around on the surrounding open southern oceans…in addition to the ADDED GLACIAL ICE DEBRIS from the rapidly eroding Antarctic ice sheet.

    Jeeze guys…take a science class.

    • So sea ice (which has a lower freezing point and forms at lower latitudes and altitudes) is expanding in Antarctica, but glacial ice (which resides in colder places at higher latitudes and altitudes) is melting at -30C.

      You are qualified to write for Kook and Nutter at SKS.

      • Lol, this discussion is a lttle above your head I see.
        OK, lets break it down so that even graduates from the Limbaugh institute can keep up.

        Sea ice can be 90 percent open water, and only 10 percent ice. It forms and disappears very quickly…thus does NOT have a lasting effect on CLIMATE.

        Glacial ice takes hundreds and thousands of years to form. It is continuous (no open water in between) and DOES have a significant impact on climate by reflecting incoming short wave solar radiation, basically a cooling effect for the Earths surface. Its shrinking area results in overall warming.

        As large glacial ice mass breaks off into the ocean (as is happening now), it does not melt right away. Something the size of Rhode Island when it breaks off becomes a thousand pieces, each the size of a city block…then each the size of an automobile, Very little of “sea ice” is actually ice…its mostly open water. In addition the added fresh water melt-off from that ice can freeze at a higher temperature, thus a few more “ice cubes” floating around..

        There…do we understand now? Anything else I can clear up for you and the readers of this thread?

        • Yea, it breaks down really fast. Antarctica just passed the summer solstice and is surrounded by hundreds of miles of record sea ice area which are reflecting huge amounts of SW radiation back into space, cooling the planet.

          Kook and Nutter await you!

      • TomP says:

        Glacial ice sheets generally melt at the bottom where the bedrock contacts.

  129. Steve, what is the highest level science class you’ve taken? In college (if you actually went to college)..
    The open water with a few ice cubes foating around does NOT have an effect on climate. Ironically, to really slam this shut…the surrounding sea suface temperatures around the Antarctic have “warmed” slightly over the past several years. How could this be and still have added sea ice? Simple, less salinity on the surface (more freshwater) from the DECREASING GLACIAL ICE MASS of Antarctica melting into the salt ocean…thus that fresh water can freeze AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE.

    Do you (and anyone else reading this) now see how ridiculous it is to cling to this “sea ice” claim as something related to cooling in the Antarctic or an expansion of ice cover.

    CheckMate on this one my friend….time for you to find a different game to play. Right now you’re just playing with yourself (lol) hoping to suck in a gullible reader or two.

    • So the 8.6 million km^2 of summer sea ice around Antarctica today is “a few ice cubes?”

      Kook and Nutter await your talents.

      • Chuck says:

        Steve I love it when you’re active in the comments section. Drop the hammer on this girl.

        • Lol…ever time Steve drops the hammer, he hits his own foot.

          And is Steven Goddard even his real name? And does he really have a science degree?

          Do a search on “Who Steven Goddard Really Is”
          You might find this:

          Goddard is your typical know nothing AGW denier blogger. He used to be a regular guest author on WattsUpWithThat, except that he became a regular embarrassment, and he and Watts parted ways. In one of the worst examples (although there are so many to choose from), Watts had to apologize for the utter stupidity of one of Goddard’s articles:

          “My apologies to readers. I’ll leave it up (note altered title) as an example of what not to do when graphing trends”
          http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/07/02/ar

          John Cook rebutted another of Goddard’s idiotic WUWT posts here as well:
          http://www.skepticalscience.com/Watts-Up

          Goddard now runs his own blog. Considering that he was too ignorant even for the exceptionally low standards at WUWT, not surprisingly, very few people actually read it. Apparently it’s not his real name and Steven Goddard is a pseudonym, which is funny, because Anthony Watts claims that everybody who writes on his site goes by their real names.

        • Wow. You turned out to be a typical progressive. You get your butt kicked and then go full McCarthy turd.

  130. I did kick your butt in a little too harshly…I will give you kudo’s for not censoring it and leaving it on your blog….you’re a good sport Steven (or whatever your real name is). 🙂

  131. Uhhm, because there is someone by a similar name who has a degree in engineering, who claims he is not the “Steven Goddard” of climate change denial.

    • I don’t do belief or denial. Those are words used by religious people.

      My interest is climate data and history.

      • Ken Towe says:

        Steve.. I just noticed that you didn’t list the top 10 coldest US years. Here they are: coldest to warmest are: 1917, 1912, 1895, 1924,1903, 1916, 1929,1899, and 1905 or 1978 (tied). There hasn’t been a record cold year in 35 years. So, if you are right it should make big news. Only a few days left before we find out.

        • If Ken likes his tampered NOAA numbers, he can keep his tampered NOAA numbers.

        • Ken Towe says:

          Well, Steve… if NOAA’s top-10 are tampered by deliberately (or even inadvertently) lowering them, as you claim, that makes matters even worse. Regardless of whether they are tampered by lowering or untampered 1978 and/or 1905 will still be the warmest of the coldest top-10 years. But, if NOAA’s are no good, then whose top-10 coldest should we use, and what years are they? Only a few days left. Should be exciting to break a 35 year-old record.

        • I have a radical idea. How about using the actual recorded temperatures, like I do?

        • gator69 says:

          My point is that CO2 has NOTHING to do with the temperature of Venus.

        • Ken Towe says:

          NOTHING (in all caps) to do with the temperature of Venus may be a bit strong. You probably mean by itself, which of course it isn’t. Like the Earth water vapor is involved.

          “The large amount of CO2 in the atmosphere together with water vapour and sulfur dioxide create a strong greenhouse effect, trapping solar energy and raising the surface temperature to around 740 K (467°C)” http://www.imcce.fr/vt2004/en/fiches/fiche_n13_eng.html

        • Ken Towe says:

          Won’t make any difference Steve. If you are right about 2013 it will break a 35 year old record, if not an even older one. What is the warmest of the top-10 coldest years using the actual measured temperatures? No US state has even had a record cold year in the last decade, tampered or untampered. Only a few days left, so maybe some state will break that record too?

        • What solar energy is it trapping? The surface of Venus receives very little solar energy, and temperatures do not drop during the months long Venusian night.

    • I suspect that if this “Lea” person had any real argument, it’d make it, rather than trying to question the academic credentials of people who know more than it does.

      • Gamecock says:

        As a cultist, Lea/it over emphasizes the value of advanced degrees. Lea/it shows a lack of real world experience. Hence, I place Lea/it as a sophomore in college.

        My father was forced to end pursuit of his PhD 6 months before getting it. That did not make him any less smart. He was a pioneer in the computer industry.

        I have 3 doctors in my near family (cousin, niece, and nephew), all of whom have national acclaim. They are not smarter than me, but all worked a great deal harder in school than I did.

        In my decades in industry, I knew many smart people. Few had PhDs. I knew engineers that were smart. I knew engineers that were dumb. I knew technicians who were brilliant. I knew some PhDs who were good in their field, but otherwise not too bright. The world is made up of many kinds of people, each of whom is entitled to make their own decisions.

        The idea that a central elite can make everyone’s decisions is inherently evil.

  132. MACyoda says:

    I have been saying, ALL ALONG, FOR YEARS, that one of the big reasons they can get away with the Global Warm HOAX is because of air conditioning cities are being built in hot deserts where a few decades ago no one would consider building or living in. And now here you have a charts of RAW station data which should be corrected down, not up, to take out all those additional hot places where the new homes and the new temp stations are.

    This means that 2013 is VERY COLD, probably the COLDEST year EVER!

  133. Ken Towe says:

    MACY… Only a few days to go and we’ll find out. In the meantime, what is/was the coldest year ever in the US? How cold was it…before, of course, it was lowered by “tampering”?
    And, since the average US temperature is derived from all 48 states, how many states do you think will have new record cold years? There has only been one in the last decade. Should be a “blizzard” of new ones this year.

  134. TomP says:

    Steven Goddard.. What solar energy is it trapping? The surface of Venus receives very little solar energy, and temperatures do not drop during the months long Venusian night. Venus surface insolation estimates range from 17W/m2 (Tomasko et al 1980) to 50W/m2 (Lee, Richardson 2011), comparable to a gloomy overcast day on earth. The thermal mass of the atmosphere together with the high altitude winds of around 300km/h are sufficient to ensure a uniform surface temperature.

  135. TomP says:

    gator69 says: December 24, 2013 at 4:22 pm My point is that CO2 has NOTHING to do with the temperature of Venus.
    Unfortunately, not one single planetary physicist studying the planet Venus agrees with you.
    https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=isbn:1461450640

    • gator69 says:

      Chris Langan, the man with the highest IQ ever tested once said ‘Academia is a breeding house for parrots.’ So no surprise that the parrots are all singing the same tune, a tune that gets Polly crackers. All scientists also once believed in ether. Galileo was a heretic.

      As we have seen here on Earth, CO2 does not drive climates. Time for a new hypothesis.

      • TomP says:

        You guys are a hoot. Tell us again, what do you think drives the “climate” on Venus? Air pressure? At 760kelvin, the surface of the planet Venus should be radiating several thousand watts/m2 into space, while it only gets less than 50w/m2 from the sun. Do you notice a trace of a discrepancy there? Come on, try a little brain power.

  136. TomP says:

    stevengoddard says:
    December 28, 2013 at 9:58 pm Why do you think it is hot at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, but cold at the top? Is there more CO2 down there?

    Ha ha, snigger snigger.. Steven, I’m sure you know perfectly well how the greenhouse effect works so I won’t bother waste more electrons explaining it for the nth time.. but tell us, as you raised the subject of Venus, how do you explain the slight discrepancy between the incoming and outgoing radiation at the surface? Air pressure?

    • The lapse rate on Venus is about the same as Earth. If Earth’s troposphere was as tall as Venus, temperatures would be similar.

      Do you have anything intelligent to say?

      • TomP says:

        Yes – absolutely correct, on both planets, most of the radiation escapes into space from high up the atmosphere. The reason is that their atmospheres contain greenhouse gases. The lapse rate then determines the surface temperature from the top down. Now explain that to Gator69.

        • gator69 says:

          It isn’t the CO2, it is the pressure and density. What happens to air bottles when they are charged with compressed air? If CO2 could cause runaway warming, it would have happened here too.

        • most of the radiation escapes into space from high up the atmosphere. The reason is that their atmospheres contain greenhouse gases

          The reason that greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere is that they’re greenhouse gases. The thing that makes them greenhouse gases is that they’re greenhouse gases. We know that they have this effect because they’re called greenhouse gases. QED.

  137. Ken Towe says:

    While we wait to find out if 2013 will be colder than one of the top-10 years since 1895 an article written in 1919 about the current coldest US year on record, 1917, has remarkably complete information, all presumably untampered. Title: “The cold winter of 1917-18”
    http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/mwr/046/mwr-046-12-0570.pdf

    What made that year so cold was the fact that there were 17 states that had record cold years. All of them still stand….and should remain so, especially if their temperatures have all been lowered by “tampering” since then.

    • Thermometer data shows 1917 as the coldest year.

      • Ken Towe says:

        Steve…Is that 1917 thermometer data now available at NCDC untampered, or have they lowered it? Will 2013 be colder than 1917? If not, which of the top 10 coldest will 2013 beat? Any idea which states will participate?

      • Ken Towe says:

        Steve… NCDC just released their “tampered” US data for 2013. Doesn’t look like your assertion about 2013 and the top-ten coldest years had any validity. Not even close.
        Will you explain how you went wrong?

        • So you are using NCDC tampered data as evidence that they are not tampering with data? ROFLMAO

        • Ken Towe says:

          Yes, I’m using their massively “tampered” data. I am waiting for you to reveal the real raw untampered higher measured data. You haven’t even indicated what your top ten coldest years are, other than to say that 1917 would stay the coldest. Can you even find one state that contributed to the top ten coldest 2013? There must be at least one. In 1917 there were 17 record cold states contributing to the record coldest year.

        • Maximum temperatures came in 4th coldest
          Average temperatures dead heat for 10th coldest with several other years.

        • Ken Towe says:

          So… what are those RAW temperatures (JAN-DEC), and what years do they represent?
          Which coldest states contributed to those raw averages?

        • Ken Towe says:

          A low-resolution chart of the raw data? No direct comparison with the “tampered” data? No list of the new top-10 coldest years? If one draws a level thin red line from the middle of your 2013 square through all the yearly data back to to 1895 one finds that there are seven squares before 1940 that are equal to or below the line and eight squares below the line after 1975. How does that compare with the “tampered” years? Where does one go to find measured and untampered temperature data for the early years, say 1917, coldest year on record or 1921 warmest year on record four years later? Where did you get those raw values? It is well known that raw temperature data are often and commonly corrected, but that’s not tampering.

        • gator69 says:

          “It is well known that raw temperature data are often and commonly corrected, but that’s not tampering.”

          Translation: “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.”

  138. MACyoda says:

    Al Gore is a GENIUS, look at all the people he has FOOLED into believing that a trace only 0.04%, no special attributes what-so-ever, of the atmosphere can change worldwide temps MASSIVELY! AND to top it off, somehow, he has become fabulously wealthy off of this scam. CAN YOU BEAT THAT?
    THE GREATEST CON MAN THAT EVER LIVED, HANDS DOWN!
    AND he was VP of the USA, a halfwit by all accounts, yet has the BALLS to sell this most ridiculous lie ever. Better yet, he has done all this after writing books about how much he HATES people and wants them ALL TO DIE?
    It is WAY beyond me how STUPID Americans have become and what a BRILLIANT con man can do with that, Al Gore is a genius, you MUST believe everything he says.

    This avoids the bias caused by the uneven distribution of weather stations across the country.

  140. S.D. Maley says:

    Not on the list,\, but a climate station since the 1890s, is 351765 (aka CONO3), Condon, OR. I mention it because the temperatures it reports are often significantly different from another station within ~ 300 ft (the latter is a newer Davis w/ solar sensor, CW7581). The difference between the two is frequently 5 °F. The Climate station tends to report higher and lower temperatures. The climate station is less favorably sited, being bounded on 3 sides by streets, and on the 4th by a state highway (which would all have been dirt when observations 1st began there).

  141. S.D. Maley says:

    Oops, my comment should have been written:

    Maley… Isn’t Condon, Oregon a COOP station…one where volunteers help report the data? Looking back, the annual average, both RAW and fully-adjusted annual average temperature, in 2008 was 47.78*F. What was it in 2012? But, how does any of that address Steve’s assertion that 2013 will be colder than the current top-ten coldest years on record, tampered or otherwise?
