Real Climate Science

Tomorrow is going to come close to being record August 3 cold in Boulder.  Our hottest August 3 was a century ago – in 1917.

Anyone claiming their point of view represents science, is a charlatan and a fraud.

Ten years ago, our top government scientists predicted the Arctic would be ice free by 2012.

The New York Times was more conservative, and said the Arctic wouldn’t be ice-free until 2013.

Since they made those predictions in 2007, August 1 Arctic sea ice extent has increased by almost 10%. The trend is up since 2006.

The 2007 predictions didn’t work out too well, so they changed it from screaming to death spiral, and changed the ice-free date to 2015.

There is actually about the same amount of Arctic sea ice as there was in 1971.

Scientists also announced in 2007 that Greenland had lost 19 billion tons of ice, causing the Arctic to scream.

Ten years later, Greenland has gained an extra 100 billion tons of ice.

Government climate experts have no idea what they are talking about, but that doesn’t stop them from spreading the fraudulent message they are paid to deliver.

If current trends continue, the Arctic will be ice-free on August 15, 2017. Nobel laureates agree with my conservative forecast.

Experts say that 2016 was the hottest year ever™.

During July and August last year, maximum temperatures at Oklahoma City averaged 13 degrees cooler in 2016 than they did in 1936. Every day except one was cooler than 1936.

On August 2, 1930 twenty-five states were over 100 degrees. AL AR AZ CA CO IA IL IN KS KY LA MI MN MO MS MT ND NE NM OH OK SD TN TX VA

On August 2, 1955 twenty-four states were over 100 degrees. AZ CA CO IA ID KS MN MO MT ND NE NJ NV NY OK SD TX UT VA WY

August 2, 2016 (hottest year ever™) was much cooler with only 14 states over 100F. AZ CA CO KS LA MS MT NE NM NV OK TX UT WY

August 2nd afternoon temperatures have plummeted in the US since 1930.

However, minimum temperatures have increased, mostly since 1990.

This is likely due to UHI effects including asphalt, irrigation and air conditioning. When I ride my bicycle out of open space and into a neighborhood on a still summer night, I immediately notice a sharp increase in temperature.

Red is climate, blue is weather.

10-Day Temperature Outlook for the Conterminous U.S.

It was pretty cool last night in Boulder, but fortunately my first Amazon Fresh order came packed in dry ice this morning. So I was able to release lots of CO2 and warm the planet by several degrees.

Success of my experiment was confirmed by official US government thermometers, which showed seven degrees warming in the half hour after I started releasing the CO2.

Every good climate scientist knows that correlation equals causation, so I have confirmed the dangers of global warming.

Progressive science at work.
