Real Climate Science

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

Climate change will mean the end of national parks as we know them | Environment | The Guardian

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

Climate Change Threatens to Strip the Identity of Glacier National Park

In 2009, experts said Glacier National Park would be ice-free by 2020.

No More Glaciers in Glacier National Park by 2020?

In 1952, experts said Glacier National Park would be ice-free by 2000.

In 1923, experts said Glacier National Park would be ice-free by 1950.

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.

04 May 1927 – LOSING BATTLE. – Trove

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.

Climate alarmists aren’t interested in data or reality. They make their money by pushing a political agenda.

I’m thinking about heading to Australia in a few weeks, to help educate the clueless Brian Cox about climate and the scientific method. A lot of it will depend on being able to fund the trip, which will be expensive. What do you think?

On this date in 1934, the US experienced 100 degree weather from California to Virginia, and from Texas to Minnesota. South Dakota was 116 degrees, and much of the midwest was over 110 degrees.  Almost the entire country was over 90 degrees.

Weather this hot is incomprehensible to Americans now, who are convinced that a couple of 90 degree days is proof that the planet is overheating due to their SUV. Summer temperatures have plummeted in the US over the past 80 years, but you won’t hear this from government funded climate scientists.

Peter Demenocal and CBS News did a story this year on the Petermann Glacier in Greenland, and said that it was melting at an accelerating pace due to human activities.

Greenland – CBS News

The entire premise of this story is nonsense. The Petermann Glacier has been growing for the last three years, not melting at an accelerated rate.

Greenland’s surface gained 250,000,000,000 kilograms of ice this year. Almost exactly normal.

Melting on the Greenland ice sheet was normal or below normal on almost every day this summer.

Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Mass Budget: DMI

This is standard operating procedure for climate fraudsters in academia and the press. They make claims which are the exact opposite of what is occurring.

Greenland shattered its record for July cold, hitting -30C on July 31st, yet government funded scientists and the press continue their idiotic, baseless alarmism.
