The BBC has just breathlessly reported record warmth in January across much of Africa and South America.
Extreme and unusual’ climate trends continue after record 2016 – BBC News
This is completely fake data. NOAA thermometers show the exact of opposite of the BBC/NOAA claims.
Government climate science and MSM climate reporting is all fake news, all the time.
This one was taken from 2.5 miles away.
Nine years ago, there was no thick ice in the Chukchi, Bering or East Siberian Seas. Now there is a lot of thick ice there.
The extent of multi-year ice has more than doubled since 2008, and is up 20% from last year.

Fake government scientists and fake news agencies are telling the public the exact opposite, because their agenda has nothing to do with science or informing the public.
Three of the ten deadliest Atlantic hurricanes occurred between 1775 and 1780. This can only be blamed on George Washington’s Sport Utility Horse.

Nine of the ten deadliest storms occurred with CO2 below 350 PPM.
The day before the US election, the left wing press was trying to hack the election for Hillary with stories about Trump wiretapping.
EXCLUSIVE: FBI ‘Granted FISA Warrant’ Covering Trump Camp’s Ties To Russia
Those stories no longer fit their anti-American narrative, so now they deny they ever wrote them. As North Korea threatens nuclear war, the MSM is determined to weaken the commander-in-chief and keep him distracted with fake news about Russia and climate.
Earlier this month, fake news Bloomberg had a big story titled : Alaska’s Big Problem With Warmer Winters
Alaska’s Big Problem With Warmer Winters – Bloomberg
March has been the coldest on record in Fairbanks so far, almost 50 degrees Fahrenheit colder than 1981. March temperatures in Fairbanks have plummeted over the last 35 years.
The warmest day in Fairbanks so far this month was 22F.
Earlier this winter, Alaska dropped to -54 degrees, and residents wanted to leave.
“I want to leave,” Cynthia Erickson of Tanana, Alaska, told the Associated Press. “My teeth are frozen to my lips.” In Tanana, the temperature dropped to 54 below zero on Wednesday, the coldest spot in the state. “It’s just miserable,” Erickson added. “I hate everybody who lives in a warm place.”
Climatologists whose funding depends on fake climate news, predictably tried to invoke global warming, saying that cold weather used to be much more common in Alaska.
What Brian didn’t bother to mention is that there was a step change at the PDO shift in 1976, and no change since then.
Alaska temperatures have hardly changed over the last 40 years. The changes which occurred 40 years ago were due to changes in ocean circulation, and had nothing to do with “global warming” or carbon dioxide.
The fake news Guardian predicts six feet of seal level rise, and a giant hurricane to hit Atlantic City, New Jersey every five years.
Sea Level Trends – State Selection
New Jersey hasn’t been hit by a hurricane since 1944. New Jersey did suffer damage from Sandy’s storm surge in 2012, but the storm made landfall in New York. New Jersey hurricane landfalls occurred in 1878, 1903, 1934 and 1944 – and none since.
New Jersey’s land is sinking, which has caused a relative rise in sea level of one foot over the last century. The rate has been steady since 1910, and sea level at Atlantic City is barely higher than it 20 years ago. It will take about 600 years for six feet of sea level rise at Atlantic City, has nothing to do with carbon dioxide, and a carbon tax will have zero impact on the land sinking.
Climate fraudsters are correctly afraid of losing funding, and are ramping up their lies to spectacular new levels in an attempt to influence public opinion and policy.
I was born and raised in Los Alamos, worked as a scientist at Los Alamos and Sandia national laboratories, and have been an active environmentalist all my life. Forty-five years ago this May, I traveled with my high school history teacher, Mary Louise Williams of El Rancho, to a congressional hearing and testified in support of the Escalante Wilderness in Utah. I was active in the fight for the clean air and water acts. I volunteered for two summers during the 1980s as a wilderness ranger in the Cibola and Santa Fe National Forests.
I now live in Boulder, Colo., and do all my commuting and shopping on a bicycle. I’m a well-known blogger in support of cycling, mass transit and protecting the environment. But I am best known as a climate change skeptic who is closely aligned with the Trump administration and the Trump Environmental Protection Agency. I provide much of the historical climate information used by the Trump EPA transition team and congressional Republicans.
Last week, I was attacked by The New York Times as part of a wildly misleading hit piece against EPA administrator Scott Pruitt. A similar article attacking Pruitt (“EPA head rejects climate change science,” March 10) was published by The Washington Post and reprinted in The New Mexican.
As an insider, I know that there is no conspiracy against science or the environment in the Trump administration or at the Trump EPA. Quite the opposite — they are very serious about protecting the environment. The Obama EPA was obsessed with carbon dioxide and ignored actual pollution problems like the Flint, Mich., water supply. Two years ago, the EPA directly caused one of the largest toxic waste spills in the Animas River in Colorado after being warned for weeks to stop its activities there. No one in the EPA was ever held accountable or punished for that disaster.
The Washington Post story featured Pruitt’s statement, “There is tremendous disagreement about [human impact] on climate.” This is not an attack on science, it is a statement of fact. A 2013 survey of professional members of the American Meteorological Society found that only 52 percent believe humans are primarily responsible for global warming. No legitimate survey of scientists has ever come close to the 97 percent number used in TheWashington Post article. Mark Twain famously said, “There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.”
Dr. William Gray of Colorado State University, who passed away last year at age 86, was a good friend of mine. He invented modern hurricane forecasting and was the best respected tropical meteorologist in the world. Dr. Gray was very vocal against exaggerated claims about global warming. On his deathbed, he asked me to continue his legacy against climate hysteria.
Former U.S. senator from New Mexico, Dr. Harrison Schmitt, is the only scientist to have walked on the moon and is a well-known climate change skeptic. Physicist Freeman Dyson is a well-known climate change skeptic and was once described by The New York Times as being “infinitely smart.” Dr. Edward Teller was father of the American hydrogen bomb and was a well-known climate change skeptic. Dr. William Happer of Princeton is President Donald Trump’s likely science adviser and a well-known climate change skeptic. There are tens of thousands of scientists who agree with Pruitt’s questions about human impact. Science is about open discussion and debate, not dogma, censorship and personal attacks.
Eighty-four percent of U.S. counties voted for President Trump. Let’s work together with our new president and the rest of America to keep America’s environment great.

Many climate scientists are too dimwitted to publish data in a form which can be easily graphed, like MASIE data which comes in this format.
2006182, 9652642.84,
2006182 means the 182’nd day of 2006. The second number is sea ice extent, but because it has a leading space, Open Office interprets it as a string rather than a number. I wrote some scripts to download and convert the MASIE data into something useful.
----- getMasie.bash -----
#!/bin/bash
rm -f masie_4km_allyears_extent_sqkm.csv
wget ftp://sidads.colorado.edu/DATASETS/NOAA/G02186/masie_4km_allyears_extent_sqkm.csv
python getMasie.py
mv tmpmasie masie_4km_allyears_extent_sqkm.csv
----- getMasie.py ------
import re
import math
fd = open("masie_4km_allyears_extent_sqkm.csv")
out = open("tmpmasie", "w")
for line in fd :
if re.search("^ 2", line) :
fields = line.split(",")
date = fields[0].lstrip()
float_date = float(date)/1000.0
frac, whole = math.modf(float_date)
real_frac = frac * 1000.0 / 365.0
real_date = whole + real_frac
extent = fields[1].lstrip()
out.write(str(real_date) + "," + extent + "\n")
out.close()
This produces a usable .csv file which can be directly graphed.

The Washington Post Capital Weather Gang is having quite a year, featuring articles claiming the Arctic is “super-hot“, calling 2017 “the year without a winter” and predicting a near record early cherry bloom in DC.
It is unlikely that there will be a peak bloom this year (>70% of blossoms in bloom) because most of the blossoms froze to death. The picture below was taken this morning.
And heavy snow forecast for DC on Wednesday.
