Real Climate Science

BBC News and government scientists are working hard to misinform the public about climate and energy.

“The sea-ice surrounding Antarctica is well below any previous recorded winter level, satellite data shows, a worrying new benchmark for a region that once seemed resistant to global warming. “It’s so far outside anything we’ve seen, it’s almost mind-blowing,” says Walter Meier, who monitors sea-ice with the National Snow and Ice Data Center.”

Nine years ago, Walt Meier wrote a paper describing much lower extent during the winter of 1966.

Extent on September 12 was very similar to the same date in 1986.

“Regular bouts of deadly heat are coming sooner than expected
Study finds hundreds of millions live in places that will regularly experience heat and humidity so high that humans can’t survive without cooling”

“With a sweltering heat wave in Massachusetts not far behind us, new research is finding that periods of heat and humidity so great that humans cannot survive without sources of cooling are likely coming much sooner than previously believed”

Study: Climate change bringing deadly heat sooner than expected

Massachusetts USHCN stations have recorded temperatures over 95F (35C) 1,438  times since 1893.  The last one occurred on July 25, 2022.

The last 100F temperature recorded in Massachusetts occurred on July 22, 2011.

And Europe had a seventy day long heatwave which killed tens of thousands of people.

There has been a huge increase in population in the southern US over the past century, because air conditioning made the heat and humidity livable.

Coastline County Population

Maricopa County, where Phoenix is located, is the fastest growing county in the US.

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”
