Check out the latest BS from the team
Every summer, the snow along a 50 mile strip of western Greenland turns black from soot; glacial grinding and dust. I have seen this from the air since at least 1998, and commented about it several times on the blog. But then new snow falls. The image below is what Greenland looked like yesterday. Zinc oxide white.
The BS just never ends from these people.
Black snow absorbs sunlight in the northern hemisphere, and warms the entire world, but in the southern hemisphere the millions of extra square km of white sea ice around Antarctica don’t reflect sunlight and have no effect on the world at all, and were predicted by Al Gore when he said the polar ice caps were melting.
Don’t you just love newspeak?
Box is doing very interesting work outside of the co2 obsession. It’s the usual case of science being abused for newspaper reasons.
give em a cold winter or two more cool summers etc
and wait for the other side..we need to throw coal dust ON the snow to prevent the ice age
Hansen and many others I think suggested that waaaay back in the 79s.
The 79s, ah yes — so much better than the 78s! 🙂
Yes it was, I had just changed jobs to a much better company.
It is as plain as the nose on your face! We are all going to die! Since no one gets out of here alive, that is not a very stunning deduction.
The Indy is even more of a comic than the Guardian. It has almost zero credibility here in the UK, ably borne out by this absurd article which is par for their environmental course.
yet they highlight the dishonesty that abounds in science http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/glaxosmithkline-pays-3bn-for-illegally-marketing-depression-drug-7904555.html
yep,not just climate science.
GRRRrrrrr,
Notice who gets stung, the owners of the stock NOT the company execs who should be in jail on man-slaughter charges.
If you look, in many cases the stock is paid for by those who are in mutual funds or pension plans and do not hold ‘ownership’ or vote the stock. However they are the ones who take the financial hit.

Old, MELTING snow is always dark and full of crap. Don’t these idiots ever get outside?
Is the only time they see snow when they are skiing on newly made man-made snow at expensive ski resorts?
Smoke from Russian Fires Over Arctic Sea and that is just this year.
“a darkening of the Greenland ice sheet could impact upon the entire world, as the hastening trend reduces the Arctic’s ability to reflect sunlight and increases global warming.”
template:
a ______ of the ________ could impact upon [insert region here], as the _______ trend _______ the [insert region here]’s ability to ________ and increases global warming.
E.g.,
an increase in snowfall could impact upon North America, as the cooling trend debilitates the region’s ability to cope with weather weirding and increases global warming.
Someone should create a global warming scare generator.
Why bother. The Team™ already has.

The Secret 28 Who Made BBC ‘Green’ Will Not Be Named
Why the List of Participants to the BBC CMEP Jan 2006 Seminar is important NOTE THE DATE this happened means it happened under BUSH not under Obummer.
November 12 2012
The ‘secret’ list of the BBC 28 is now public
One can understand why the BBC did not want to make this public when the Specialists: listed are:
WHAT THE HECK IS A MEMBER OF THE US EMBASSY DOING ON THIS LIST OF ‘specialists?
From the following it seems Evans specialty is Psy-Ops under the euphemism of ECON/EST meaning Economic- Education, Science and Technology Officer. He was there to assist in shaping the propaganda that was fed to the UK public on their shilling.
Trevor Evans and his wife have an extremely nauseating website up on the internet where they are busy waving the American flag and shedding crocodile tears.
The scandal that won’t die: the newest installment 11 January 2014.
BBC’s six-year cover-up of secret ‘green propaganda’ training for top executives
The global warming scare generator was created a long time ago, and has been in steady operation for a long time.
Another bonehead making a prediction that again will not turn out. When will these idiots stop?
They will stop when we all live in 12ft X 12ftsustainable apartments in UN Agenda 21 Transit Villages.
The Elite are very committed to returning the world to feudalism and abolishing the pesky Middle Class that challenges their money and power structure. That is what Marx attack on the bourgeoisie (Middle Class) was all about.

“Philistine Sentimentalism”? I don’t agree with that although I will bet I have a neighbor who does./sarc
They’re doing a great job of eliminating the middle-class in the USA. Now if we get amnesty for 11-20 million, plus all the relatives of theirs they will be allowed to bring in, job done. It isn’t too far into the future that this will come to pass as they are merely waiting until after the 2014 elections to move amnesty. It matters not if 80% of Americans oppose amnesty, our ‘betters’ know what is good for us. Boehner said amnesty/immigration reform (same thing) is good for the economy.
Look! A squirrel.
Gail, Rehashing a bit about an illuminating moment about which you had posted and to which I responded, regarding higher pressure – lower CO2 absorption being re emitted as KE as apposed to EM; I just had an additional thought.
With the CO2 being saturated, any additional CO2 would of course mean that saturation would occur at a lower altitude, and then hypothetically there would be an increase in down-welling radiation. However, with the saturation at a lower altitude, the pressure were be even greater and it would follow that the relative amount of kinetic energy exchange would increase and the EM energy decrease. This of course is a calculus problem, but it would seem the limit of EM transfer would be approaching zero, therefore any CO2 increase would cause a diminutive effect.
You are now probably enjoying the evening, but I hope you catch this.
And at 15u, what exactly would the temperature of that “down-welling” IR be? ..hmmmm?
Aside from the the tiniest, remotest portions of the Antarctic in the winter time, there isn’t a place on the planet that could absorb such “down-welling” IR … as in –> A cooler object CANNOT make a warmer object warmer still … case closed…
You really need to stop saying that.
The saturation happens at such a low elevation, the pressure doesn’t much matter. Mean free path length of 15u at sea level is only around 30 meters, so the elevation of extinction is only a couple hundred feet or so.
Dr. Will Happer agreed with what Dr Brown and Peter Malcombe that the time to radiate is about ten times slower than the time to the next collision in the lower troposphere. Dr Happer in his lecture also answered my question about where CO2 energy is radiated instead of being handed off via collision. Experimental data shows barely any radiation at 11 KM and that radiating is taking place in the stratosphere ~ 47 KM above the surface and above.
Considering any downward radiation runs into the same “radiate being about ten times slower than the time to the next collision in the troposphere” problem, all that happens is the troposphere around 11 KM gets a little ‘hotter’ theoretically. (This is that tropical hot spot that is missing in action) However there are other climate mechanisms in affect so the wind speed might increase a tad. (The missing in action extreme weather.)
The big problem for the warmists is the climate does not hinge on the concentrations of CO2 and the affect of CO2 increase especially that attributable to mankind (3 to 4 ppm) is so vanishingly small as to be completely unmeasurable. It is not even a tempest in a teapot. More a zephyr in a thimble.
So you do what Lord Monckton does. Use their suppositions plus actual experimental data and prove they are shouting fire on a rocky mountain top above timberline in a blizzard because they saw someone fire up a cigarette lighter.
Their Climate models flunk the reality test because:
#1. they have not correctly identified and quantified ALL the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns of the earth’s climate.
#2. The climate is chaotic.
ALL the energy on earth comes from the sun (plus a bit of geothermal) so climate is all about how that energy is absorbed and how it travels. The earth has several means of dealing with that energy. Water and Wind being among the biggest not wimpy CO2.
Gail, Morgan–thanks, I needed that-but I have to verify the figures a bit more. I must assume that Dr. Happer’s would be more accurate than those of Brown and Malcombe; however, the concept is the same. (Gail, you did say x orders of magnitude difference between time of travel and time of emission) I need to check the source of the data at various altitudes.
I am in a debate with a few college Profs who teach the subject.
They rely mostly on short periods of physical change to which my reply is- of course.
So they want to debate several chapters of IPCC working group 1, while I really am most interested in the one chapter causation.
They have surprisingly little knowledge of the physics involved — very few people do, and I keep learning. Reading the new book by Judith Curry and the Russian Vitaly (sp?) now. I believe that therein lies at least some of the unknowns. It is long, expensive
($64.30) on my kindle and somewhat rigorous (at least for me)
If one has the background, I would recommend it.
Looks more like TiO2 to me Steve.

Yup Greenland Cherry picking from the Warmist..

That picture looks to me like most of Greenland had low level stratus covering the ice with some gaps in NE Greenland and central Southern Greenland. The stratus has only formed over the ice above a certain altitude. Again, my guess would be above the 0° isotherm of the air mass covering the island (an anticyclone?).
Something is up. The lies are getting bigger by the day and the number of BS articles is accelerating
All in support of what his majesty in the WH will be doing when the midterms are over I suspect.
The UN meeting on the 23rd is what the increased level of bullshit is about.
Yes, very much a Darkening of Science.
Yes, something is up. Fraud can forever be disguised as consensus science.
Yes, something is up. Fraud can NOT forever be disguised as consensus science.
Not to worry. Global warming causes men to lose the hair on their heads. There are millions more shiny domes now than when CO2 was only 280 ppm. Each head now has 97% more reflectivity. With head albedo up, temperature no longer rises. Agenda item #42.8 for the UN climate meeting is to mandate the wearing of dark hats for all bald men (or women) and blondes of any gender. Stock tip: buy hat makers.
🙂
Only BS getting manufactured is by Tony Heller, aka “Steve Goddard.” Here’s a study that concludes Greenland’s albedo is going down: http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/8/4/044043/pdf/1748-9326_8_4_044043.pdf
That explains why surface melt area was below normal this past summer

Darkening of government science began with two 1956 FALSEHOODS disguised as consensus science [1]:
1. Stars are filled with Hydrogen
2. Neutrons attract other neutrons
[In fact stars make and discard Hydrogen and atomic bombs explode because neutrons repel neutrons]
The falsehoods were designed to prevent public knowledge of the source of energy that destroyed Hiroshima [2].
Why? An almost complete “black-out” of news on the CHAOS & FEAR of nuclear annihilation that followed Stalin’s capture of Japan’s atomic bomb plant at Konan, Korea in late August 1945 [3] left the public in the West unaware that Stalin:
1. Emerged victorious from WWII, and
2. Established the UN on 24 Oct 1945 to expand totalitarian control globally [4].
We face a formidable opponent who will be defeated because ultimately, “Truth is victorious, never untruth!”

The ongoing AGW fraud is fueled by an unrepentant desire for publicity and research grants — and a deathly fear of ostracism by peers who are already on the take, those who sold their integrity for 30 pieces of silver and an invitation to next department cocktail party.
Muckracker Upton Sinclair summed it up in one statement: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!”

Enough…we’re already up to our eyeballs in fertilizer, already…and when that stuff decays it just makes more methane. Sheesh…
