One year ago, the Boston Globe published this brilliant piece of work.
In Maine, scientists see signs of climate change
By David Abel GLOBE STAFF SEPTEMBER 21, 2014
ACADIA NATIONAL PARK, Maine — With milder winters sparking a surge in deer ticks, park rangers now duct-tape their ankles while combing the wilds of Acadia, where native flowers are disappearing at alarming rates and invasive species are thriving.
Along the rocky coast of Georgetown, Maine, lobstermen are finding more black sea bass in their traps, spiny intruders that until recently were almost never spotted so far north. In a pond in Brunswick, an increasingly prevalent disease has ravaged amphibians.
In a state with the highest percentage of forested land and a long, famously scenic coastline, where timber and fisheries remain at the heart of the economy, climate change has become an immediate concern.
Heat waves, more powerful storms, and rising seas are increasingly transforming Maine — effects that most climate scientists trace to greenhouse gases warming the planet.
In Maine, climate change is taking a toll – Metro – The Boston Globe
Maine is having their coldest year on record.
“Most climate scientists” are completely incompetent buffoons who don’t understand the first thing about the climate. They collect government grants in exchange for parroting mindless propaganda.
it would be interesting to see a comparison between hot and cold global anomalies this year .
This just in: UAH satellite data for July:

Note looking like super el nino thus far…
That should be…”Not” looking alike a super el nino thus far…
Arghh – typos!
With the North Atlantic cooling, I do not think we will get the uplift normally associated with a strong El Nino.
@David A I agree, the AMO was very positive in 1998 and 2010, but not now,

BTW, the similarity of the UAH anomalies with the AMO (from NOAA) is striking…
Yep, an enormous El Nino 🙂
If that is all that the current El Nino can manage, the La Nina that follows is not going to fun!
Any bets that GISS has an upwards jump !
guaranteed.
without a doubt . i have to say i think it is time i moved to the lower troposphere . between the uk, the mediterranean and south east asia this year, i seem to be unable to find any positive temperature anomalies. maybe cooler than normal weather just follows me around 🙂
Joe Bastardi gets right into the El Nino from the start of his last Saturday Summary. Lots of other good stuff in there too. There is an El Nino.

There’s no such thing as an incompetent scientist, because you are either competent or you’re not a scientist.
I beg to differ.
In my (perhaps limited) experience, scientists working in private industry are either extremely competent or unemployed.
Those who cannot work in private industry find jobs in government (and government funded universities). Where political acumen trumps competence.
Thus, that apparent mystery of the massive serial failures of government funded “climate science” does has a rational explanation. Government grants funding “climate research” attract frauds and politicians masquerading as “climate scientists”
When I visit Pennsylvania I typically tuck pant legs into calf-length socks. It may look a bit strange but it keeps off the ticks which are so numerous that stepping into roadside brush to make a photograph is almost guaranteed to have one or more ticks on your pant legs.

incompetent ?
It was a hot day so it must be because of climate change.
Sea level rise made the barge unstable. 😉
the wind blew a large concentration of carbon dioxide into it and knocked it over 😉
Snow at sea level in Tasmania. First time since 1986
And some Tasmanians are just plain crazy !!!

No doubt there is a southern polar vortex, and as a result of global warming we can expect to see more of this pattern of cold and snow. Just ask Doctor John Holdren, I am sure he can verify what I say.
Do I need sarcasm tags?
And some aren’t??
Beautiful image! 🙂

Hot, cold or anything else in between, it’s all due to Mann-made climate change, caused by capitalist driven greed and evil white men.
New site is down…
Well, here in NYC, well for work that is, home is in Westchester, we don’t know whether to shit or go blind. See, because after 4 hours of hard mountain biking I still have to do a full body cavity search for deer ticks but for 3 weekends since sea bass season opened I can’t manage to feed the family; pulling up shorts only.
Yes, Steven aka Tony, “Most climate scientists” are completely incompetent buffoons who don’t understand the first thing about the climate. They collect government grants in exchange for parroting mindless propaganda.
Unfortunately, climatologists learned to collect government grants in exchange for parroting mindless propaganda from government-sponsored scientists who learned that fine art during the Nuclear and the Space Ages.
Interesting post…

Is it just a feaky coincidence that your name is related to NASA, as in “Goddard Institute for Space Studies” ? hahaha. You are a fraud. You call your site Real Science? More real BULLSHIT.
Thanks for providing the alarmist argument in a nutshell Linda!
Too cold for lobsters:
