Real Climate Science

Tonight will be very cold in New York, but nowhere near as cold as 1993.

During the summer of 1991, Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted and threw large amounts of particulates into the atmosphere, which blocked sunlight and kept earth cool for several years.

March 15 minimum temperatures in New York were very cold in both 1992 and 1993, after a record warm year in 1990. March 15, 1993 temperatures averaged below 0F, compared to 42F on March 15, 1913.

Several locations in New York State were below -20F on March 15, 1993.

Climate experts say that an increase of 0.0001 mole fraction CO2 causes volcanoes, because no lie is too big for this scam.

Climate Change Causes Increased Volcanism

Since the 2007 peak ten years ago this week, Arctic sea ice extent has trended upwards slightly.

A Google search for “Arctic ice disappearing” turns up 453,000 fake news results.

Leading government experts predicted the ice would disappear in 2008.

Other more conservative experts predicted that the ice wouldn’t be gone until 2014.

At his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Al Gore predicted ice-free in 2014.

Global warming is the biggest scam in science history. Congress needs to expose and completely defund this idiocy.

Two weeks ago, the fake news Washington Post predicted peak bloom on March 15.

we predict the cherry trees will reach peak bloom between March 15 and 19

Cherry blossom forecast: Peak bloom will be close to record-early this year – The Washington Post

It is March 14, the cherry trees are covered with snow and ice, and forecast low tonight is 20 degrees.

Ice in the Beaufort Sea and Northwest Passage is much thicker than last year. The bad news keeps piling up for alarmists.

DMI Modelled ice thickness

A few weeks ago the Washington Post said :

this will be remembered as a year without a winter — for a second straight year.

‘Fast-forward spring’: America’s February warmth is extreme, and it’s just getting started – The Washington Post

What on Earth are they talking about? Last January, Washington DC had one of their largest snowstorms on record.

This was followed by some bitter cold in February. Had they ridden a bicycle to the Potomac on Valentine’s Day like I did, they might have better memories of the cold.

The Washington Post also seems to have forgotten that two years ago the Potomac was frozen solid in March.

This year they are facing record spring snow and two weeks of bitter cold.

Climate hysteria is fully dependent on short memory and stupidity.

Six days ago, the fake news New York Times said spring came early, and blamed your SUV.

Spring Came Early. Scientists Say Climate Change Is a Culprit. – The New York Times

This is what Times Square looks like right now.

The fake news New York Times had a front page headline a few weeks ago bragging about the fact they had leaked Trump wiretap data. This was a blatant attempt to taint the president’s inauguration.

Now they want to deny the wiretapping – which recently became inconvenient for their anti-Trump agenda –  so they tried to change their own headline.

But they didn’t do a very good cover up. Their internal search engine still returns the original headline.

The primary tool of global warming alarmists is claiming that 97% of scientists agree with them. They normally cite this NASA web page which says:

97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities

Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet: Scientific Consensus

If you actually click on the reference, you quickly realize that the claim is fraudulent. NASA used a small subset of papers which actually make attribution. (The only people who have any reason to make attribution are climate alarmists.)

Among papers expressing a position on AGW, an overwhelming percentage (97.2% based on self-ratings, 97.1% based on abstract ratings) endorses the scientific consensus on AGW

Two thirds of the papers they reviewed took no position, so they threw them out. But then comes the really big lie – with the one-third of remaining papers, they conflated “humans are causing global warming” with “Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities“

We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW, 32.6% endorsed AGW, 0.7% rejected AGW and 0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming. Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming.

Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature – IOPscience

Everyone agrees that humans have caused some warming. That is a far cry from saying humans caused all of the claimed warming. Only 52% of professional members of the American Meteorological Society believe humans are primarily responsible for global warming. Thirty-seven percent of professional forecasters believe that, and seventy-eight percent of publishing climate scientists.

No group comes close to 97%. As is normally the case with NASA climate science, they are committing fraud. there is no 97% consensus.
