Autumn arrives several days earlier in the US than it did a century ago.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, because autumn snow cover is increasing and is at record highs – indicating that Arctic air is intruding further and further south.
January 2006 was the warmest January on record in Fort Collins, Colorado – and much of the US. The average January maximum temperature was 52 degrees, and I spent much of the month in a short sleeve shirt. In February I moved to the Bay Area.
I moved back to Fort Collins in mid-July, and it was incredibly hot. Driving across I-80 in California it was 116 degrees. Our pool in Cupertino got hot all the way down to the bottom.
Global warming was a sure thing – I was convinced.
But something happened in September. I was coaching soccer, and the weather turned cold and wet. We spent a lot of games bundled up that year, and in subsequent years.
December, 2006 brought the largest snowstorm on record and bitter cold to Fort Collins
It stayed cold all winter. If the warm air in January and July was due to trapped heat, why did CO2 stop trapping the heat in September? So I started looking at the data for myself. It didn’t take long to understand that the people pushing global warming were not doing any actual science.
This September has also turned very cold and wet here. It reminded me.
Nobody is more consistent and cynical with their climate fraud than Heidi Cullen’s Climate Central. Now they are claiming that summer is lasting longer in Minneapolis, based on a trend started during the ice age scare in 1970.
A look at the NOAA USHCN data shows that over the past century, Minnesota stations (including Minneapolis) are trending towards an earlier last day over 80F (blue bars.)
The average last day above 80F for all Minnesota USHCN stations comes about four days earlier than it did a century ago.
As always, Heidi started her graph at a low point. and hid the warmth before 1970. Minneapolis was 83 degrees on Halloween in 1950.
And, as always, the story gets much worse. The frequency of 80 degree and 90 degree days in Minnesota has plummeted over the past century.
Almost everything Heidi Cullen publishes is fraudulent, and she wants to de-certify any meteorologist who refuses to go along with her fraud.
In 1990, Tom Karl and Kevin Trenberth said we have “routinely” collected satellite data back to the early 1970’s, when sea ice extent was “significantly less”
Year after year, NASA fraudster Gavin Schmidt says it is the hottest year ever, and that the Arctic is warming faster than any place on earth. Yet Arctic ice is growing.
Either Gavin is lying, or the freezing point of water has changed.
Three weeks ago I made this forecast of fraud and deception by the science community.
Instead of reporting the huge gain in ice and massive failure of their forecasts, climate alarmists will report that extent was “8th lowest on record.”
Compare my forecasts vs. their forecasts. They get paid billions of dollars and win Nobel Prizes to lie about the Arctic. I tell the truth about the Arctic – for free.
