Real Climate Science

Peter Hannam recently wrote one of the worst fake climate news articles ever for the Canberra Times about the Arctic, and is now doing a repeat for SMH at both poles. His first major mistake is claiming low November Arctic sea ice extent is causing sunlight to be absorbed in the Arctic Ocean.

‘Remarkable year’: What’s behind the record low sea ice in Antarctica

If Peter actually knew anything about the earth, he would know that the sun doesn’t shine in the Arctic in November – and open water in the Arctic Ocean in November allows heat to escape to the much colder air.

But it gets worse. Peter also appears to be trying to fool his readers into believing a hole in Antarctic sea ice may also be due to global warming. Note the not very subtle placement of the words “clarion call of global warming” next to the Antarctic sea ice graph above. Nothing in his article supports that idea, but his intent to lead the reader towards that conclusion is clear.

Here is the latest satellite map of Antarctic sea ice, showing a large hole in the ice.

The same hole in the ice appeared from 1974-1976 at the peak of the ice age scare.

In January of 1976, Antarctic sea ice almost completely disappeared.

At that time, the Canberra Times was pimping global cooling and the ice age scare.

Antarctic sea ice extent has nothing to do with either fake global cooling scares or fake global warming scares. The ice behaves the same during both. But Peter Hannam gets readers by writing fake climate news articles for the Australian press.

In 1901, Knut Angstrom showed that Arrhenius didn’t know what he was talking about with his global warming theories. CO2 absorption is already nearly saturated, so additional increases in CO2 have little effect.

Arrhenius also ignored H2O in his calculations, which produces most of the greenhouse effect. As a result of his “inadmissable” error, Arrhenius overestimated the effects of CO2 by about 96%.

Global land temperatures have dropped 1.2C since February, the largest drop in more than a century.

The Guardian calls record global cooling “incredibly fast heating” And they call fake news real news.

I generated this graph on November 16, 2016. Note that all three lines intersected at the year 2000.

In today’s version of the same graph, Gavin’s fraudulent green line has been pushed up even further. It is now above the satellite data at the year 2000.

The overlay below shows how Gavin has bumped up his fake data even higher than last month.

This follow a continuing pattern of Gavin tampering with temperature data month after month, which has caused global warming to nearly triple since the year 2000 – during a time when satellites show little or no warming.

Gavin is a major player in the biggest science fraud in history.

Gavin tweeted this feeble attempt yesterday to blow off my criticisms.

He didn’t want to update it, so I updated it for him. His graph has completely removed the 0.5C cooling from 1940 to 1970.  That is the first half of his fraud.

Next comes the part of his fraud which he says “pseudo-skeptics don’t want you to pay attention to”  i.e. the post-1970 hockey stick. I’ve been paying attention to that for years, and he has blocked me and ignored it. The upper half of Gavin’s graph is even worse than the lower half. He shows a huge amount of warming since 2000, which has simply not occurred.

So what does a realistic global temperature graph look like? I combined the satellite graph with the 1975 NAS graph, and used Gavin’s 0.2C warming from 1970 to 1979 to normalize the two graphs. That is undoubtedly too much warming, but I will use it for the sake of argument. What we see is there was 0.5C warming from 1880 to 1940, and only 0.2C additional warming since 1940.

Gavin is a key player in the largest scientific fraud in history. There is no legitimate evidence that CO2 has any meaningful impact on the temperature record. Gavin has been doing Obama’s dirty work, like any other political appointee. He has not been behaving like a scientist.

Jerry Brown has spent $70 billion on a train to nowhere, because he believes a train can end thousands of years of cyclical California drought.

But he has spent nothing installing sprinklers in nightclubs.

Over the past nine months, troposphere temperatures have dropped by 0.6C (1.1F.)  This is the second largest nine month drop on record, exceeded only by January 1999.

Gavin Schmidt at NASA blamed last year’s spike on man-made carbon dioxide, in sharp contrast to honest scientists who understood that it was due to El Nino. We have cold times ahead of us.

On Friday evening the finest woman I ever met moved on to her next adventure. My mother was an incredible person, with 85 years of accomplishments as a musician, mother, wife and icon of the community. Few people, if any, did more to bring music and art to New Mexico.

Despite suffering one crippling illness after another for the past 25 years, she never complained once and is my greatest role model. She is always with me. I am in New Mexico this weekend celebrating her amazing life.

The Sangre de Cristo Mountains (where I used to work as a wilderness ranger) are named that because they turn red at sunset in the winter.

Gavin’s fake hottest year ever to end with record cold and heavy rain in Tennessee. There must have been a massive drop in CO2, causing the atmosphere to quit trapping heat.

Experts tell us that very warm melty Arctic air turns very cold when it moves south.
