Real Climate Science

There appears to be one-upmanship in climate academia, where each new baseless prediction is substantially more ridiculous than previous ones.  All peer-reviewed of course.

Experts say the Arctic is burning and the hot Arctic is making China freeze.

Growth of Arctic sea ice during the first three weeks of December was second largest in the last 45 years, and extent is second highest in the last nineteen years.

Experts say burning fossil fuels will cause the oceans to boil away.

“the scientist proposes that the complete evaporation of the oceans could result in a whopping 273 bars of surface pressure and temperatures above 2732°F.”

“only a minimal rise in global temperature, could trigger this unreversible and uncontrolled process”

The greatest expansion of ocean life occurred 540 million years ago, with CO2 levels fifteen times higher than now and temperatures 10C warmer.

Experts also say burning fossil fuels will cause the oceans to get much deeper.

“Prof. Hansen and his colleagues argue that rapidly melting ice caps in Antarctica and Greenland could cause oceans to swell several metres by 2100 – or maybe even as much as 25 metres, which is how much higher the oceans sat about three million years ago.”

Shortly before he purchased $30 million of mansions on the beach, Barack Obama warned that burning fossil fuels was going to cause coastlines to vanish.

“Peace with justice means refusing to condemn our children to a harsher, less hospitable planet.  The effort to slow climate change requires bold action.  And on this, Germany and Europe have led.

In the United States, we have recently doubled our renewable energy from clean sources like wind and solar power.  We’re doubling fuel efficiency on our cars.  Our dangerous carbon emissions have come down.  But we know we have to do more — and we will do more.  (Applause.)

With a global middle class consuming more energy every day, this must now be an effort of all nations, not just some.  For the grim alternative affects all nations — more severe storms, more famine and floods, new waves of refugees, coastlines that vanish, oceans that rise.”

“A new report, released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on the last day of Barack Obama’s presidency, presents a series of updated estimates for future sea-level rise, both in the United States and worldwide. It suggests that, under extreme future climate change, global sea levels could rise by more than eight feet by the end of the century”

Obama issued this report in between buying his Hawaiian beach mansion and his Massachusetts beach mansion.

Thirteen years ago President Clinton’s climate advisor announced the Southwest permanent drought based on a dust storm in Phoenix.  Since he made that announcement, Arizona has gotten wetter and is about to flood.

The press corps in the United States has degenerated to a point where they make the old Soviet Pravda look like serious journalists.

Reuters says China should rely on wind and solar instead of coal.

“China’s new coal plants set to become a costly second fiddle to renewables.

China’s plans for some 100 new coal-fired power plants to back up wind and solar capacity have sparked warnings that the world’s second-biggest economy is likely to end up lumbered with even more loss-making power assets.”

China’s use of coal is increasing faster than wind or solar.

There isn’t one shred of evidence to support the idea that drought correlates with CO2.

From June 24 to July 28, 1936 Nebraska afternoon temperatures averaged over 90F every day. Over that 35 day period the state averaged 102F, peaking at 111F on July 25, 1936.

The minimum temperature at Lincoln, Nebraska on July 25, 1936 was 91F, which may have been the hottest night ever recorded in the US outside of the desert Southwest.
