Real Climate Science

Hillary Clinton went on a rant yesterday about fake news, a topic which she pioneered and may be the world’s leading expert on. Or perhaps a close second to Barack Obama.

Based on the 97% consensus, this 1986 sea level forecast (which we are not qualified to question) puts Trump well over 400 electoral votes.

With temperatures at -25C in the Arctic,  CBC says Arctic ice is at a record low.

Phil Plait says the Polar Vortex is caused by global warming, and cold weather proves the climate is getting hotter.

Forty years ago, experts blamed the polar vortex on global cooling, and said cold weather proves the climate is getting colder.

Forty years ago, scientists associated cold with cold. Now they associate cold with hot.  It would be safe to say that Phil Plait is an idiot.

Government experts say this was one of the hottest years ever in the US, with the number of hot days near a record low.

In 1974, the Guardian said global cooling was the greatest threat mankind had ever faced.

Michael Mann’s university and the New York Post take climate stupidity to an entirely new level.

Global warming that scorched the surface of Mars for up to 10 million years may have wiped out life on the Red Planet, it is claimed.

There was never any life on Mars, and the temperature there is minus 40.

It is thought Mars froze over roughly 3.8 billion years ago before warming periods melted the surface and created deep valleys and canyons.

However, if there was life on Mars it would have been wiped out by climate change.

It is much to cold for life on Mars.

A build-up of greenhouse gasses in Mars’ dense atmosphere is thought to have sparked dramatic climate cycles.

Mars has a very thin atmosphere which is 95% CO2, yet it is extremely cold.

Some studies have suggested the warming of Mars was brought on by asteroid impacts, but many researchers believe warming cycles are responsible.

The molecular density of CO2 in Mars atmosphere is ten times higher than earth, yet it is extremely cold. Apparently these researchers didn’t bother to do any actual research. Like a five second google search for example.

Natasha Batalha, a graduate student of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State, said: “With the cycling hypothesis, you get these long periods of warmth that give you sufficient time to form all the different Martian valley networks.”

Researcher are still trying to work out if Mars could have produced enough carbon dioxide and hydrogen for this process to work.

Five seconds of research would have told them that Mars atmosphere has a very large amount of CO2. And the New York Post should probably higher journalists who are literate. But then again, they did shill for Hillary, so not likely.

Yale University has been a top contender for fake news, with impressively fraudulent articles like this one claiming autumn in the Arctic was 36 degrees above normal.

There is no indication that Arctic temperatures have been anywhere close to 36 degrees above normal.

Criminals who have been living off lying about the climate are getting desperate ahead of the Trump administration.

It is very cold and snowy in Boulder today, and unlikely to get above 15F. That will make this the fourth top seven coldest December 7th in Boulder during the past decade.

Boulder had a long December 7th warm spell from 1927 to 2005, but the past ten years have been the coldest on record for this date.
