Real Climate Science

The mental midgets at The Huffington Post note that the Sperry Glacier in Montana has retreated since 1913, and blame man-made climate change.

GOP Climate Denier To Celebrate Park Service Centennial Amid Melting Glaciers

Had the genius who wrote the article done any actual research, he would have known that most of the melting occurred before 1923, and that scientists expected the glacier to be gone by 1950.

Glacier Park Melting at a Rapid Rate
December 29, 1923

CINCINNATI, Dec. 29.—(By the Associated Press)—The hot dry seasons of the past few years have caused rapid disintegration of glaciers In Glacier National Park, Montana, professor W. G. Waterman of Northwestern University declared in an address today before the Geological section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Sperry Glacier, studied by Professor Waterman, has lost one quarter, or perhaps one-third of its Ice In the past 18 years, he said. If this rapid retreat should continue, the Professor added, the glacier would almost disappear in another 25 years.

The fact that the Sperry Glacier is still here 65 years after the predictions of its demise, tells us that melting has slowed dramatically. Melt season temperatures there peaked 80 years ago.

Progressives imagine themselves to be intelligent, when in fact they are simply superstitious nincompoops.

The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.

Earlier this year, The National Snow and Ice Data Center here in Boulder, Colorado announced a record low winter maximum and record low June ice.  This was due to climate. But the record slow melt over the past two months was due to weather.

NSIDC is run by Mark Serreze, who says the Arctic is screaming.

NASA nows says that the 0.1 PPM rise in atmospheric CO2 during 1830 caused the climate to start collapsing.

Global warming may have begun in 1830, NASA scientists say

This chart shows the extreme increase in CO2 of 0.0 PPM, from 1832 to 1850. NASA says that non-existent increase pushed the climate over the edge.

The NASA charts from Hansen 1981 (below) should help people visualize the new NASA global warming tipping point.

As of 1999, NASA showed no net warming from 1876 to 1976.

Apparently NASA believes we can prevent hurricanes by going back to pre-industrial levels of CO2. But when you are pushing global warming fraud hard ahead of the election, it is OK for NASA scientists to completely fabricate fake studies, make up meaningless gibberish, and lie to the public.

Winter seems to be blowing into Colorado very early this year. Our second cold front since last Friday blew through this afternoon. I have never seen it this cold in August before.

NASA says it is the hottest year, ever.

Fox News is the slightly less horrible news alternative, depicting coal fired electricity as filthy.

Warnings of rate hikes as Oregon becomes 1st state to kill coal | Fox News

Like all the other news networks, Fox News is working to damage the coal industry. This is what an actual operational coal fired plant looks like, shown here powering the entire city of Boulder last weekend. No evidence of any pollution.

Oregon also wants to ban fracking.  They don’t want gasoline, natural gas or 24×7 electricity in their state.

Oregon lawmakers debate proposed fracking ban

Hopefully a return to the dark ages will save Oregon from imaginary warming.

Candy Crowley and the White House plotted ahead of the 2012 CNN debate, to sabotage Romney and get Obama re-elected. Romney was simply too dumb to understand what happened to him.

He should have walked off stage and called the FBI. Ot perhaps Crowley just happened to have the transcript, and Obama just happened to know about it.

Bernie says that the 1:10,000 increase in CO2 over the past century is about to destroy places which have been around for tens of millions of years.

He was referring to this story in the Guardian.

Rising temperatures could mean no more glaciers in Glacier national park

Two years ago, experts said Glacier National Park would be ice-free by 2050.

Glaciers have been disappearing for 20,000 years, and sea level has been rising for 20,000 years. Bernie should remember that, because he was unemployed and living in a warehouse in Vermont with no electricity or plumbing for most of that period.

Louisiana suffers massive floods all the time. Here is a small sampling of their larger ones.

In 1874, Louisiana flooding was the calamity of the century.

15 Aug 1874 – AMERICA. – Trove

Eight years later, they had another massive flood in 1882.

01 Apr 1882 – FATAL FLOODS IN LOUISIANA. – Trove

Eight years later, they had another massive flood in 1890.

29 Apr 1890 – THE LOUISIANA FLOOD. – Trove

Nineteen years later, they had another massive flood in 1909.

25 Sep 1909 – TIDAL WAVE AND FLOOD. – Trove

Three years later, they had another massive flood in 1912.

17 Jun 1912 – MISSISSIPPI FLOODS – Trove

Fifteen years later in 1927, Louisiana suffered the worst flood in US history. The 1927 flood led to mass migrations of black people from the south into northern cities.

On Good Friday, April 15, 1927, 15 inches of rain poured on New Orleans within 18 hours, causing water to rise four feet in parts of the city.

They had another massive flood in 1953.

21 May 1953 – Flood Crisis In Louisiana – Trove

There have been many more floods in Louisiana, but I need to take the dogs for a walk and don’t have time to list them all. People who claim that Louisiana flooding has something to do with CO2, are complete morons.

Mother Jones published this very detailed map of how sea level rise will affect the San Fransisco Bay.

No one involved in this project bothered to check the tide gauge and find out that sea level in the San Francisco Bay is the same as it was 75 years ago.
