Real Climate Science

On June 25, 2009, John Kerry said the Arctic would be ice-free by 2014.

“You have sea ice which is melting at a rate that the Arctic Ocean now increasingly is exposed. In five years, scientists predict we will have the first ice-free Arctic summer”

His forecast didn’t do very well.

So in 2014 he announced that “the science” was absolutely certain.

“And let there be no doubt in anybody’s mind that the science is absolutely certain”

John Kerry  Feb 17, 2014

Now Kerry says the First Amendment is an impediment to government controlling the flow of information.

Asia is leaving the rest of the world in the dust for both electricity generation and CO2 emissions. The west is voluntarily self-destructing, in order to facilitate their worship of greenhouse gases.

Google Gemini boldly asserts that there has been an increase in hurricanes due to the burning of fossil fuels. There is zero evidence to support any of this propaganda.

“there is strong scientific consensus that the increasing intensity and frequency of hurricanes are linked to climate change, which is primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels.”

There has been no trend in the Arctic sea ice minimum, mean, or maximum extent since 2007, but Google Gemini boldly asserts that there has been a decline.

“Arctic sea ice extent has significantly declined since 2007.”

At the Nobel Prize ceremony on  December 10, 2007, Al Gore predicted an ice-free Arctic by 2014. Since then there has been no trend in the minimum, mean or maximum extent.

Michael Mann predicted thirty-three named storms, and now that there have been nine he says he was correct.

“It has been the longest stormless streak in the Atlantic Basin in over 50 years”

NOAA has launched a new sea level website which is based on unsupportable claims and appeals to authority.

In New York, under the Intermediate Scenario, sea level is expected to rise 11 inches from 2020 to 2050.”

Three years ago NOAA’s sea level scenarios were failing badly, so they moved to goalposts out twenty years and made some new baseless predictions.

Apparent sea level rise rates at Manhattan are less than 3mm/year, all of which is due to subsidence. At that rate sea level will rise 3.5 inches by 2050.
