Real Climate Science

Normally I focus on data tampering and fraud by NASA and NOAA, but there is another big problem. Their surface temperature data itself is garbage.

There are very few stations with long term records in South America, but one of them is the Mendoza, Argentina airport. That thermometer shows more than 1.5C warming since 1979, but satellite temperatures at that location show very little warming.

Surface and satellite temperatures are diverging there at a rate of almost three degrees per century.

The thermometer is located at an airport on the edge of a large urban area.

Mendoza appears to be warming, but it has nothing to do with climate.

Policy is being driven by bad data and bad data practices, emanating from fake scientists at government agencies.

The Danish Meteorological Institute reports that Arctic sea ice is about two meters thick.

In 1940, Arctic sea ice was also about two meters thick.

In 1958, the New York Times reported that Arctic ice was about two meters thick, and that people carry a popular misconception that the ice is much thicker than it is. They also predicted an ice-free Arctic within one generation.

Arctic sea ice is about the same thickness as 75 years ago, but because people are constantly being lied to about climate by government scientists, they carry the same misconceptions which people had 60 years ago.

There are many crooks in the climate science business, but none more brazen than Michael Mann, who is now blaming California drought and “extreme meanders” in the jet stream on global warming.

Climate change is altering global air currents – increasing droughts, heatwaves and floods

One of the scientists who demonstrated conclusively that global warming was an unnatural event with the famous “hockey stick” graph is now warning that giant jetstreams which circle the planet are being altered by climate change.

Professor Michael Mann said extreme weather events – such as the “unprecedented” drought in California last year, the flooding in Pakistan in 2010 and the heatwave in Europe in 2003 – were happening more often than they should do, even taking the warming climate into account.

I blogged yesterday about how fraudulent this claim is.

This, he said, meant there had to be an additional factor.

Jetstreams are influenced by the difference in temperatures between the Arctic and the equator.

But the Arctic has been warming much faster than tropical climates – the island of Svalbard, for example was 6.5 degrees celsius warmer last year compared to the average between 1961 and 1990. The land has also been warming faster than the sea.

Both of those factors were changing the flow of these major air currents to create “extreme meanders” which were helping to cause “extreme weather events”, Professor Mann said.

Last year, another leading climate scientist warned that the rapid rate of warming in the Arctic could have a “catastrophic” effect on the weather in the northern hemisphere.

In a paper in the journal Scientific Reports, Professor Mann and other researchers wrote that evidence of the effect of climate change on the jetstreams had “only recently emerged from the background noise of natural variability”.

This claim is just as fraudulent as everything else Mann says. Forty years ago, experts said the exact opposite. They blamed California drought and extreme meanders in the jet stream on global cooling.

the 1977 drought is judged by experts as more severe than the 1930’s.

National Geographic : 1977 Dec, Page 822

Mann reported 6.5 degrees Arctic warming as proof of his Mann made global warming theory.  But in 1947, experts reported ten degrees Arctic warming since 1900.

Global warming theory had been disproved by 1991, after 45 years of Arctic cooling and thickening Arctic ice.

Actual science and facts weren’t going to bring any money in for fraudsters like Mann and Gavin Schmidt at NASA, so they simply erased the post-1940 Arctic cooling.

Global warming is the biggest scam in science history, There is no indication that the climate is changing in any way other than natural cycles, so government funded climate scamsters alter data and then use the fake data as the basis for their junk science theories.

The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant, it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.

Do progressives actually believe the brainless BS they talk about?

Hey Look, Another Record Low Month for Sea Ice | Climate Central

Climate experts have found the “human fingerprint” in the 2003 heatwave in France and the 2010 Russian heatwave.

Had these researchers actually done any research, they would have known that both events were outliers and not part of any trend.

The gold standard for climate science is to make stuff up, and then get it pal reviewed by your equally useless and dishonest peers. Then you go and march in Washington DC against lawmakers who want you to do honest work and stop lying.

Satellite temperatures are infinitely better than the fake surface temperatures produced by NASA and NOAA.

But there is a huge problem with satellite temperatures. They start in 1979, which was the coldest period of the last 90 years in the US. The frequency of below 0F (-18C) nights peaked in 1979, and then dropped in half by the year 2000, before starting to increase again.

1979 was also the peak Arctic sea ice extent of the last 90 years.

NOAA has sea ice satellite data from before 1979, but they hide it because it wrecks their Arctic sea ice melting scam.

The graph below is from the 1995 IPCC report. Sea ice extent was almost two million km² lower in 1974 than it was in 1979.

But the scam gets worse because the Arctic had already cooled dramatically by 1970. Sea ice had become ominously thicker.

U.S. and Soviet Press Studies of a Colder Arctic – The New York Times

Glaciers were expanding by 1976.

National Geographic : 1976 Nov, Page 575

Forty years earlier in 1939, glaciers were facing “catastrophic collapse.”

17 Dec 1939, Page 15 – Harrisburg Sunday Courier

Because satellite data typically begins at the coldest and iciest period of the last 90 years, the upwards trend since 1979 is very misleading. I see little or no evidence that Earth is warmer now than it was in 1940.

Don’t it always seem to go, you don’t know what you’ve got till its gone. They paved paradise, put up a parking lot.
