Real Climate Science

Most people have heard of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, but there were much worse fires burning at that time. Thousands of people were killed by massive fires in Wisconsin, Michigan and Ontario. There were also huge fires burning in the Rocky Mountains.

The worst of these fires occurred at Peshtigo, Wisconsin, which killed more than 1,000 people.

The fire was fanned by a 12 mile wide “hurricane” which knocked many trees down and blocked escape from the city.

Minnesota was also on fire.

The 1871 fires were much worse than any recent fires. But one thing that hasn’t changed since 1871 is an obsession with imaginary climate change. Atmospheric CO2 was below 300 PPM at the time.

If we could reduce CO2 levels to 300PPM, perhaps we could expect a return to the “safe climate” of 1871?

This afternoon in Boulder

I haven’t mentioned it on the blog, but for the past two months I have been dealing with an acute medical condition which has sent me to the emergency room six times, most recently last weekend while visiting New Mexico. I’m hoping to be finished with it tomorrow.

I thought I had it resolved two weeks ago, but got active again too fast and triggered a relapse. I would greatly appreciate your prayers tonight! And Rambo and Oreo too.

October 16 used to be a very warm day in the US, but temperatures have plummeted over the past century. There was a large drop after 1960.

On this date in 1938, there were 90 degree temperatures into Indiana, and 80 degree temperatures into Massachusetts.

In 1973, the Climate Long Range Mapping And Prediction Project (CLIMPA) from Brown, Columbia, and OSU predicted a new ice age.

In 1975, CLIMPA downgraded it to a little ice age. They said bad weather is associated with cooling, and good weather is associated with warmth.

These same institutions now predict warming. And they say bad weather is associated with warming, and good weather is associated with cold.

The one thing we know for sure about climate science racketeering, is that climate scientists scamsters will say whatever appears most opportune for future funding.

October 15 used to be a warm day in the US, but temperatures have plummeted over the past century.

The percent of the US over 80 degrees plummeted during the 1970s.

On this date in 1938, much of the Midwest was over 90 degrees.

Same story in 1963, with 80 degree weather well up into New England.

Twenty years ago, government experts said 1.5C warming in the Arctic from 1840 to 1950 was largely due to natural forces, but recent warming “must be attributed to greenhouse gases”

Overpeck’s conclusion about recent warming was undoubtedly due to using fake NASA/NOAA graphs like this one.

The graph above was massively tampered with to cool the past. The next graph shows the data has been altered.

Had Overpeck used the raw data, he would have seen a nearly perfect correlation between Eastern Arctic temperatures and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO.)

The AMO peaked about ten years ago. Since then, the Arctic sea ice minimum has gotten larger.

There is no reason to believe that changes in greenhouse gases have had any significant influence on the Arctic climate. Observations show that Arctic temperatures rise and fall with the AMO.

NASA and NOAA are destroying science and policy with their data tampering.

In 1974, scientists explained that polar ice loss was caused by global cooling.

Now they say thickening Antarctic sea ice is killing penguins and is due to global warming.

Mass starvation has wiped out thousands of penguin chicks in Antarctica, with unusually thick sea ice forcing their parents to forage further for food

they have been declining in the Antarctic region more generally where climate change has taken its toll, with shifting ice reducing habitat while warming seas affect their prey.

In climate science – warming causes ice to grow, and cooling causes it to melt.

And scientists at the National Academy of Sciences were busy poisoning beagles, when they weren’t doing junk climate science.

Satellite data shows that there has been no change in temperatures over land since 1990, before the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo – which cooled earth for several years.

This is in direct contradiction to the fraudulent data from NASA and NOAA – which shows a tremendous amount of warming during that period.
