Arctic alarmists are back at their usual scam of attributing the breakup of ice caused by early winter storms to “global warming.” It is a shell game to divert attention away from the huge expansion of soon to be multi-year sea ice towards the Russian side.

These Arctic summer storms churn up warmer water from several hundred feet down below the ice, and replace it with colder surface water. Like all convective storms, they rapidly move heat from lower elevations up into the upper atmosphere, where it radiates off into space. The large number of summer storms in recent years have been cooling down the waters of the Arctic Ocean, causing new ice to form more rapidly in the autumn.

Mark “Arctic Is Screaming” Serreze says the Ship of Fools could sail to the North Pole.

After unusual Arctic storms, sea ice coverage in region is plummeting

I plotted out their route across ten foot thick ice to get there.

Serreze pulled the identical stunt in 2008.

Lewis Pugh made the mistake of listening to Serreze in 2008, and tried to kayak to the North Pole. He made it about 75 miles out of Svalbard before he was blocked by ice, and then of course declared victory.

The New York Times made the same claim in 2000, and said it was the first time in 50 million years.

Apparently 1958 was more than 50 million years ago, because the USS Skate surfaced in “clear water” at the North Pole on August 11, 1958.

On this date in 1947, there were 100 degree temperatures from coast to coast, and everywhere but the Northeast was over 90 degrees. It was 118 in California, 113 in Arizona and 109 at Sedan, Kansas. Today’s forecast high at Sedan is 27 degrees cooler than 1947. NASA says it is the hottest year ever. About 1% of the US will be over 1oo degrees today.

The press keeps making 100% fictitious claims about record summer heat in the US. The reality is that for most of the US, summer afternoons have been cooling for a century, and are near or at record lows now. Peak and average summer maximum temperatures are plummeting.

During the 19th century, Florida averaged more than one hurricane per year, but Hermine is forecast to be the first hurricane to hit Florida since 2005 – ending the longest hurricane free period on record in Florida.

Look for experts to blame climate change.

Today marks the beginning of meteorological Autumn.  It has been cold here in Colorado the last couple of weeks, but in 1913 it was over 100F on this date. Almost the entire country was over 90F on September 1, 1913, with much of the country over 100F. Iowa was 108F.

Last year, Hurricane Patricia was declared to be the most powerful hurricane ever with 400 foot high waves and 230 MPH winds, even though it did essentially no damage at landfall other than possibly ruffling up a bunny’s fur.

Will Hurricane Hermine do the same, with currently top measured 45 MPH surface winds?

Thirty four out of 48 states show cooling during summer afternoons since 1930.

Fourteen states that are warming.

The hottest official temperature ever recorded on Earth (134F) occurred in California on July 10, 1913. But the heatwave continued for the entire summer. On this date in 1913 it was 111 degrees in Oklahoma, and 90+ degrees over most of the US.

NASA says that the record heat of 1913 occurred during the 8th coldest year on record.
