Real Climate Science

There is something fascinating about science.  One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.

Thirty years ago, NASA’s top climate expert said he was 99% certain that the 1988 US drought was caused by the greenhouse effect.

Droughts have become less common in the US over time, and there nothing particularly unusual about the 1988 drought.

Hansen later contradicted himself, but that is what 99% certain settled science is all about.

After decades of failed predictions, lies and junk science, Democrats recognize James Hansen as a prophet.

The fact that the Martian canals exist is no longer doubted, even by the most religious astronomer.

You simply aren’t qualified to question the consensus of scientists.

I saw some new animals today in the South Boulder wetlands which the progressive University of Colorado and City of Boulder want to destroy.

The US is headed for its fifth consecutive cool Memorial Day, but Memorial Day used to be hot in the US. On May 29, 1934  ninety and one hundred degree temperatures were common throughout much of the US. South Dakota and Nebraska both reached 109 degrees that day.  This year they are forecast to be almost 40 degrees cooler.

After 1945, there was a sharp drop in the frequency of hot weather on May 29.

Actual scientists would want to understand this, but fake government climate scientists simply change the data and lie to the public.

The useful idiots in the press who report on climate, continue to insist that the Arctic is melting down and nearing catastrophe.

In the actual Arctic, sea ice extent is normal and Greenland has gained a record amount of ice this winter.

It wasn’t always like this though. In 1952, the polar icecaps were melting at an astonishing and unexplained rate and were threatening to swamp seaports. The glaciers of Norway and Alaska lost half their mass during the first half of the 20th century.

In 1939, the glaciers of Greenland and Norway faced catastrophic collapse.

On May 22, 1925 the US was experiencing an incredible heatwave, with half of the country over 90 degrees, and 100 degree temperatures in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois.

Danville, Illinois was 103 degrees on May 22, 1925. Today’s forecast at Danville is 72 degrees, cooling down to 61 degrees on Wednesday. New Ulm and Fairmont, Minnesota were over 100 degrees.

May 22 temperatures in the US have been plummeting over the last 90 years, with the last few years being among the coolest on record. Hot temperatures like May 22, 1925 are incomprehensible now.

This is of course the exact opposite of what we hear from the criminals known as US government climate scientists, whose job is to spread propaganda, not disseminate scientific fact.

Seventy years ago this week, the New York Times said Greenland was melting and we were all going to drown. In fact, the situation was so serious that we needed to send money to an international agency of scientists to study it.

But not to worry, 28 years later they said we were all going to freeze to death and get buried by expanding ice. The solution was (of course) to send money to scientists.

Climate scientists love to start graphs in 1979, so in compliance with their standard bad practices, I generated this graph.

The last spring snow in Boulder falls about a month later now than it did in 1979. This means that springs are getting colder in Boulder, and springtime precipitation is falling as snow rather than rain.

Climate experts of course ignore all actual data, and instead write papers which bring funding in. They say we have declining spring snow cover and a shortage of water in the west.

Never mind that we have record spring snowpack in the west.

Climate science – all fake news – all the time.

In 1969, the fake news New York Times predicted an ice-free Arctic by 1989, and three days later predicted a new ice age.
