Real Climate Science

In 1922 and 1933, the US had very bad Cinco de Mayo tornadoes.

I met some new friends this morning

She is very busy protecting her nest now from other birds and squirrels.

Experts tell us that declining spring snow cover and an early spring are proof of global warming. I have been hearing this for years.

Snowpack is above normal across almost the entire western US.

April 29 was the 4th coldest on record here in Boulder. Last year was 5th coldest. It was the first time we ever had two consecutive cold April 29th’s in a row.

We had 8 inches of snow on April 29, second largest April 29 snow on record. It snowed last year too.

Last year I attended a meeting of the Boulder Clean Power Plan at the University of Colorado. People there said they were very traumatized by climate change. I asked a prominent educator how she perceived the local climate was changing. The only thing she could think of was :

Well it seems like it snows more in the Spring than it used to.

I just took this picture with a Canon SX-720 pocket camera.

The fake news press continues to bombard the public with claims that Arctic multi-year sea ice is disappearing. As recently as one hour ago.

As with almost everything else reported by the press about climate, the claims are completely fraudulent. The coverage of multi-year sea ice has tripled since 2008.

This animation shows the huge increase in the areal coverage of multi-year ice.

In 2009, experts announced that Arctic sea ice was “effectively gone.” Since then, the coverage of multi-year sea ice has more than tripled, and experts say it is “disappearing.”

In the year 2000, NASA showed 0.5C warming from 1880 to 1999. Now they show 1.0C warming during that same period. The animation below was made using images captured directly from the NASA GISS web site.

This change was made via a hockey stick of data tampering.

But it is worse than it seems. Not only did NASA double warming by altering data, but they hid the warmth prior to 1880. In the 2000 version, there was little or no warming from the 1870’s to the 1970’s, and about 0.4C warming after the 1970’s.

As bad as this story is already, it gets worse. The 2016 version shows a very rapid increase in temperature after the year 1998, but satellites show little warming during that period.

NASA is hiding pre-1880 warmth, tampering with the 1880-1999 data, and showing a huge amount of imaginary warming since then. Junk science doesn’t get any worse than this.

Following the snowstorm, she wants to make her nest bigger.

She finds a twig she likes.

Tugging on it with the only tool available, her beak.

It takes about 30 seconds, but she gets the twig and flies back to the nest.

While this chick sings in the tall grass of the wetlands.

Progressive CU and the City of Denver are hoping to destroy this wetlands.

If everyone saw this video, the global warming scam would disappear. Please pass it around.
