Real Climate Science

Three months ago I was suffering an acute medical condition which had me hours away from death at one point.

Thanks to God’s grace and your prayers – my health is largely restored. I am back on my bicycle and will be travelling to England next week. A month ago I wasn’t certain I would ever be able to travel again.

I enjoyed the ducks today, both wild and domestic.

Thanks for everything. Readers are what makes my blogging worthwhile.

Andrew Weaver, the head of the British Columbia Green Party and lead IPCC author, predicts sixteen feet of sea level rise.

22 Mar 2009, Page 18 – The Times at Newspapers.com

There has been no change in sea level at British Columbia over the past century. Sea level there is currently near a record low. It will require ~? years to produce five meters of sea level rise at British Columbia..

Global Sea Level Trends – Mean Sea Level Trend

Globally, according to NOAA, sea level is rising less than two millimeters per year. It will require more than 2,500 years to achieve five meters of sea level rise.

the absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year

Sea Level Trends – Global Regional Trends

Weaver bases his claim of five meters of sea level rise on “collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet” due to “carbon emissions” – but scientists have known for 40 years that the behavior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has nothing to do with climate.

The Ross Ice Shelf in West Antarctica has been retreating for centuries, and had retreated 30 miles by 1930. The retreat has nothing to do with CO2.

Satellites show no trend in Antarctic temperatures over the past 40 years.

NASA’s head of climate analysis reported in 2004 that Antarctica was cooling rapidly.

during recent decades, surface temperatures decreased significantly over most of Antarctica.

Two years ago, NASA reported that Antarctica is gaining ice, and has been for the past 10,000 years.

Tide gauges show no indication that sea level rise is accelerating, and there is no indication that CO2 emissions have any impact on sea level. Sea level rise rates track sunspot cycles, not CO2.

Andrew Weaver’s claim of five meters of sea level rise due to CO2 emissions is absurd, and far outside the range of IPCC estimates, of which he is a lead author.

For high emissions IPCC now predicts a global rise by 52-98 cm by the year 2100

Sea level in the 5th IPCC report « RealClimate

The 1990 IPCC Report said there was no convincing evidence sea level rise accelerated during the 20th century.

9.3.3 Accelerations in Sea Level Rise

Is there evidence of any “accelerations” (or departures from long-term linear trends) in the rate of sea level rise? From examinations of both composite regional and global curves and individual tide gauge records, there is no convincing evidence of an acceleration in global sea level rise during the twentieth century. For longer periods, however, there is weak evidence for an acceleration over the last 2-3 centuries

Nothing about Weaver’s sea level claim appears credible. Andrew Weaver is suing Canadian climate expert for Tim Ball for defamation, and I am an expert witness for the defense. Weaver’s lawyers chose not to cross examine me.

I wonder why not?

Lenticular clouds form when strong westerly winds are forced up over the mountains. The downslope winds compress as the atmospheric pressure increases at lower altitudes, causing warm Chinook winds.

UN climate expert and high school dropout Leonardo DiCaprio believes Chinook winds are caused by “global warming” or “climate change” or whatever term the 97% consensus of climate morons happen to be using this week.

During 1934, the world experienced unprecedented drought and heat.

Eighty percent of the US was in drought.

So how did NASA respond to the heat and drought of 1934?  Did they try to study or understand it?  Of course not!  They did what they always do – they erased it.

Beautiful Thanksgiving sunrise here in Boulder!

The purpose of most polling is to manipulate public opinion rather than report it. Hillary’s campaign was a train wreck, and the press and pollsters did everything they could to discourage Trump voters.

Hillary Clinton so far ahead in polls that she ‘doesn’t even think about’ Donald Trump anymore

Keeping track of your harem is hard work!

The first NCAR director understood that the Sun controlled the climate. Trenberth would have angrily called him an climate denier.

I’ve been looking at news reports from 1963 and 1964 and found a smoking gun that the Warren report is garbage.

The grassy knoll is located on the north side of the motorcade, to the right of the motorcade. The White House reported immediately after the shooting that JFK was shot in the right temple. Just before police officers “raced up the grassy knoll.”

“The assassin or assassins were believed to have been standing on a high point of ground that overlooks the Triple Underpass Road”

22 Nov 1963, Page 1 – Battle Creek Enquirer at Newspapers.com

That high point is the grassy knoll, on the north (right) side of the motorcade.

Now look at the fakery in the Warren Commission Report. They ignored many eyewitness reports and the police racing up the grassy knoll (north and right) and instead relied on two policeman from the railroad bridge which was to the west and front.

The commission conceded that “many people near the depository” believed shots had come from a railroad bridge or an adjoining area ahead of the President’s car.

TimesMachine: September 28, 1964 – NYTimes.com

Witnesses (including police) believed the shot came from the grassy knoll on the north and right, not the railroad bridge to the west and front.  The kill shot didn’t hit the windshield. The Warren Report is the same sort of fake science which I debunk here every day. They discredited their own straw man argument, while ignoring the actual eyewitness reports.

The kill shot came from the front right side, and the momentum of the bullet knocked his head back and to the left, just as the White House reported on November 22, 1963. As an engineer, I accept the laws of physics – like conservation of momentum. Jerry Ford not so much.

The front of JFK’s head exploded outwards on impact, and a luminescent white circle appeared on the right side his skull which was persistent for the next 30+ frames.

Disclaimer for morons. This is not “conspiracy theory.” It isn’t theory at all. This is what the JFK White House reported on November 22, 1963, and what the evidence clearly shows.
