I just got my 1998 4×4 back from the shop. It passed 200,000 miles and needed a new front end.
Located conveniently next to the White House
So I can drive down to DC tonight, pump out lots of life giving CO2, and hear Michael Mann and Katherine Hayhoe lie about skeptic funding, at the “Merchants of Doom” premier.
That is probably one of the few topics they know less about than climate.
Please tell me you are seriously going to attend!
Are they going to be taking questions?
That is what they claim.
Well if you happen to ask a question, give em’ hell! I wish I could be there.
Better yet, Give ’em Heller!
Humility and honesty will defeat arrogant certainty.
Have Marc or the others record how you are escorted from the Q&A by security guards and/or silenced in some other way after your first question. But if you do get to have more than one, please do ask Michael Mann if he is aware of anyone else independently corroborating Ross Gelbspan’s accusation that skeptics are paid industry money to lie. Oreskes never did.
Good idea!
I really enjoyed reading that piece from at WUWT from John A on how Mann didn’t have a single amicus brief filed by anyone to support him in his own going legal battle with Mark Steyn. I’m just wondering if I’m going to die of old age before they get to the discovery phase.
That was stunning. It is interesting to ponder just what the rest of the ‘consensus’ thinks of Mann.
I would hazard a guess that they think he is an arrogant no nothing and wish he would disappear.
Well the Penn State wasn’t smart enough to dump his ass. But then again Penn State wasn’t smart enough to dump Jerry Sandusky or even fess up to having covered up for him. So I guess it’s to be expected.
It would seem like damned if the do and damned if they don’t but they can rely on so much support from the media that keeping Mann is a logical choice.
If Mann’s doing blows up in their faces one day they expect to weather it just like they weathered Climategate, Pachauri or the “Pause”.
After his Hokey Stick graced the cover of an IPCC Report they were stuck with him.
SG, rather OT, but have you seen any USHCN data since August?
The Noaa web site says “last undated may 2014” http://cdiac.ornl.gov/ftp/ushcn_v2.5_monthly/
Perhaps they are they still trying to figure out their “adjustments” ?
This is updated every day
ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ushcn/v2.5/
I guess I’m after their monthly calculations.
I think I’ve mentioned before that I find it absolutely miraculous that USHCN matches USHCN so precisely. There has to be major fudging going on.
I’m trying to keep previous data, to see if they make any changes to either data set.
That is their monthly calculations.
That looks like individual station data.
I’m after their final monthly anomaly values for the whole network from September onwards..
Six little numbers.
ps.. If look here.
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/temp-and-precip/national-temperature-index/time-series?datasets%5B%5D=uscrn&datasets%5B%5D=cmbushcn¶meter=anom-tavg&time_scale=p12&begyear=2005&endyear=2015&month=2
you will see why I am puzzled., nothing since August.
Just refreshing my trend calcs for USHCN and USCRN since 2005.
USCRN is COOLING at 0.49ºF/decade
USHCN is COOLING at 0.84ºF/decade.
Enjoy! The Merchants of Certainty vs The Humility of Reality.
Beware that lots of people together in a small closed environment make CO2 levels go up so dress for summer temperatures.
Tomorrow at 9:00 AM and PM is ANOTHER exciting day it is PIE day. 3.14159
Celebrate with a Pie!

Boston Cream is my favorite! It always has been. Mom would make it for my Birthday in fact. Yea, it’s not really a pie but it’s still my favorite. And I helped my Grandma make apple and cherry pies from scratch. And by “scratch” I mean home made crust and the fillings picked from the trees by our own hands. Mince meat and Pecan come in a close second and third though.
Nothing like home made from scratch pie.
My favorite was Strawberry.
Fresh whole wild strawberries are placed in an already backed pie shell. Make up jello adding the juice of crushed strawberries in place of some of the water. Let set in the frig and top with whip cream.
Just finished fajitas for dinner. Sherry learned from the best how to make it. An old Momacita taught her when we were stationed down at Ft. Sam Houston. And don’t ask me how because she won’t even share that with ME! I don’t know why, but there are a few recipes she has that she shares with no one. I prefer to cook the skirt meat on the grill after Sherry has prepared it, but the weather was not conducive for grilling today.
John Kerry is displaying his ignorance of science once again, trying to strawman climate science as basic and settled.
“Science also tells us that when the water temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, it turns to ice. No one disputes that,” he said
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/03/12/john-kerry-says-climate-science-is-as-settled-as-gravity/
Umm, not necessarily John.
Under high pressure (2,000 atmospheres) water will super cool to as low as ?70 °C (?94 °F, 203 K) before freezing.
It’s complicated John, unlike you.
Yep, It is quite complicated
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Phase_diagram_of_water.svg/700px-Phase_diagram_of_water.svg.png
Add a bit of salt it gets even worse.

Although, gator, the phase diagram values do not match very well with your statement about “under high pressure…….203K.”
Do you have a link for that ?
Good one gator , of course most of the water on the planet is Brine and that requires the temperature to be well below 29 F to freeze ; that’s also too complicated for Kerry…
Correct: more salt=harder to freeze.
I am you will hear the usual song and dance about evil people like you denying settled science like the tobacco industry and all of your huge funding by the fossil fuel industry. An honest debate about the lack of warming? Absolutely out of the question!
Don’t sell your off-roader. These old gems are fixable virtually forever if the body and frame will hold together. I have a 1980 FJ40, a 1984 CJ7, and a 1994 RRC LWB. All great 96%+ condition cars that are a joy to work on and easy to fix (the Range Rover being a notable but excusable exception since it makes up for the hassle in cool factor and off-road awesomeness).
I have to say, you have a great deal more tolerance than I have Tony; I would be walking out once their “CO2 warming nonsense” impacts my sense of logic…
Remember, Steven, you are on the winning side of history.
This one-page “Sequel to Climategate” illustrates the absolute absurdity of the 1945 decision by frightened world leaders to rule the world by deceit.

They have delusions of power and honor in the likes of Michael Mann and Katherine Hayhoe.
It’s very clever of you not to use any of your ill gotten petro-dollars to buy a new truck.
You ought to troll them by turning up in a chauffeur-driven limousine!
Please give them hell!
Just don’t get arrested. Remember the &^%$% Anti-Occupy Law.
Tony, I’m looking forward to reading about your experience mingling with the well-compensated Merchants of Confidence and their newest propaganda campaign against truth and people of integrity.
Merchants of Doom would seem to be a more appropriate title for the warming crowd that says we are all going to boil. Skeptics mostly say things are going to be ok. I found this NCEP/NOAA paper that shows computer models predicting global cooling by 2020. Funny that one never sees this model mentioned. See page 2202, the yellow graph. http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/people/wd51hd/vddoolpubs/2014_2185-2208_JClimate27_CFSv2.pdf
That is because it is a brand new model designed to wipe all the rotten eggs off the face of the ClimAstrologists.
It is so they can say they predicted the current halt in warming and the coming cooling.
One model in 150 or so.. roflmao.
If they tossed a coin 150 time they would do much better.
Is there a hyperlink to the Michael Mann/Katherine Hayhoe Show?
