Real Climate Science

In yesterday’s hearing, top climate fraudster Mikey Mann ranted that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is collapsing due to your SUV. Forty years ago this same scam was the lead story in the Chicago Tribune, but the National Science Foundation said at the time that it has nothing to do with climate.

We’re doing about the most we can do right now to study the possible collapse of the west ice sheet,” said Dr. Richard Cameron, NSF program manager for glaciology

We’re seeing the West ice sheet on its way out,” said Cameron. It seems to be doing something completely different than the east ice sheet. It has nothing to do with a warmer climate, just the dynamics of unstable ice.

It is a rather rapid change for an area that we thought was so static for such an awful long time.

At the time, scientists were pushing global cooling, which they said caused the Polar Vortex. Now they blame the Polar Vortex on global warming.

Had either of them done any actual research, they would have known that the Ross Ice Shelf has been rapidly retreating for centuries.

One might expect that a collapsing Antarctic ice sheet would cause southern hemisphere sea levels to rise, but sea level at Sydney is the same as it was in 1910. At a rate of 0mm per century, it will take a long time to produce 20 feet of sea level rise.

It is always about the money. From the 1977 Chicago tribune article.

the National Science Foundation, which oversees American interests in the Antarctic, has earmarked one-fourth of our $45 million research effort here to learn more about the threatening condition of the ice sheet

Alarmists repeat the same lies over and over again in these hearings, yet the GOP never seems prepared to pre-empt or deal with them.

New research shows that climate fraudsters recycle the same idiocy every 30 years.

I was riding home this evening and saw this guy right over the trail.

I got a few good pictures of him before he flew off to another tree and got in an argument.

I’m not certain who won, but there was a lot of screaming and then one flew off.

A mile further up the trail I saw this mini-dinosaur and a couple of cute chicks.

Yesterday I posted some pictures of a goose couple which lives near my apartment. My neighbors say there was a lot of commotion last night, and the other goose has now gone missing.

I saw a homeless guy eyeing them the other day. The mate might be dinner.

Michael Moore says Trump destroyed the planet yesterday, and an Arctic researcher said that Trump is busy deleting her work and melting the polar ice caps. She also says that Arctic ice cap has melted this winter at -30C to its lowest level in history.

Who knew that the president had so much free time? Arctic sea ice extent is about the same as it always is this time of year, but climate alarmists never let facts get in the way of their brainless hysteria.

Forty years ago, global cooling killed us all.

On March 29, 1986 almost the entire country was over 70 degrees, with temperatures above 100 degrees in California. CO2 was below 350 PPM. The only other years with similar warmth on March 29 were 1910, 1946 and 1968.

A few weeks later, NASA’s James Hansen was ramping up his global warming insanity, spreading wild mispredictions and flat out lies.

Hansen predicted the DC area would see a huge increase in the number of 90 and 100 degree days. The exact opposite has occurred. The frequency of both 90 and 100 degree days in the rural DC area has been plummeting for 85 years.

Hansen predicted a large increase in the number of nights above 80F. Rural DC hasn’t had such a night for 20 years.

Hansen predicted nine degrees rise in US temperatures by 2020. Afternoon temperatures in the US have been plummeting for a century.

Hansen said the evidence of a warming trend was overwhelming. Three years later Tom Karl directly contradicted him, and said almost all warming occurred before 1919.

In 1989, NOAA also said that the US was not warming.

In 1992, Mark Serreze said there was no evidence of global warming.

The 1995 IPCC report showed no evidence of troposphere warming.

The 1986 article said half of sea level rise was due to global warming, but Hansen 1982 showed sea level rise slowed greatly after 1950, when atmospheric CO2 was 310 PPM

Hansen’s final prediction was a total 3-5 degrees US warming by the 2010s. Obviously that hasn’t happened. The global warming scam is being pushed by crooks, liars, witch doctors and frauds, and has been since the day it began.

Last week homeless people started a fire west of Boulder, which was immediately blamed by the locals on climate change.  This letter was published three days ago.

Pretty soon we will be faced with a year-round firefighting season.

It has hardly stopped raining since then. Boulder is getting wetter, with 2013 being the wettest year on record.

One year ago this week, we were buried in snow.

In 1898, forest fires covered the entire length of the Rockies in Colorado.

As far as flooding goes, the 1894 Boulder flood was much larger than the 2013 flood.

Serious floods have affected downtown Boulder in 1894, 1896, 1906, 1909, 1916, 1921, 1938, and 1969 with the worst being those of May 31-June 2, 1894 and May 7, 1969.

So far it seems the flow at 14th St on Boulder Creek downtown has just been 3,100 cfs whereas the 1894 event was four times that.

Progressives have been trained to hate themselves and hate their country, so they naturally gravitate towards any theory which can make them feel bad about themselves. They think they need a carbon tax, but actually they need a psychiatrist.
