“To disarm the people…is the most effectual way to enslave them.”
– George Mason, June 14, 1788

“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe”
– Noah Webster October 10, 1787

Boulder is the world’s epicenter of climate fraud, with today’s featured fraudster being Henry Diaz at NOAA. He claims that kidney disease is rising in the tropics due to global warming.

Colorado scientists: Global warming taking human toll – The Denver Post

Temperatures in the tropics peaked in 1998, and have risen less than half a degree over the past 30 years.

As La Nina forms, tropical temperatures are about to plummet.

There is no scientific basis to what Diaz is saying. He is simply playing to the fears and stupidity of climate alarmists.

Denning: The 3.7 W/m2 is from CO2 alone. Without feedbacks this would warm the Earth only 1.1°C (2°F).

The actual climate sensitivity is determined after this initial change (0.27°C per W/m2) gets amplified by positive feedbacks and also reduced by negative feedbacks.

Nelson: How do we know these feedbacks exist?

Denning: We know there must be negative feedbacks because Earth has almost always had liquid water throughout geologic time (oceans never froze solid or boiled away).
We know there must be positive feedbacks because climate has changed in the past even with very small changes to the radiation balance.

Nelson: What are some of the most important feedbacks?

Denning: The most important positive feedbacks are:
Water vapor (warmer oceans increase evaporation, water vapor is a powerful GHG)

Ice and snow albedo (melting snow increases absorption of solar radiation)

High clouds (extra water vapor condenses to make high clouds that let sun in but block outgoing LW (longwave radiation) )

The most important negative feedbacks are:
Increased radiative cooling (Stefan-Boltzmann relationship, OLR = sigma * T^4) Do not worry, you won’t be tested!

Surface warming and extra moisture promote convective clouds that transport heat to upper troposphere where it can be more efficiently radiated to space

Low clouds (extra water vapor condenses to make low clouds that block sun but emit a lot of longwave (Earth) radiation upward because they’re warm — near the ground)

A Global Warming 101 Chat With Climate Scientist Scott Denning | WXshift

I was sitting at the bar in the Burlington Airport this afternoon, and realized that the guy sitting next to me talking on the phone was Bernie’s campaign manager. I have no idea who he was talking to, but I picked up a few choice quotes.

“(Debbie) is just not good. Even if she was on our side, she would not be good”

“I’ve thrown Polk County Democrats under the bus. Bernie didn’t want to do it, but I talked him into it”

“I’m on CNN/MSNBC all day talking about it. How can Bernie not know about it? It is ridiculous”

The Tribute DIPA was excellent!

Temperatures are forecast to remain below freezing over the Arctic Basin for the next two weeks, well into the normal melt season.

There is almost no melting occurring.

Yet Arctic sea ice graphs continue to show a rapid decline.

Isn’t climate science grand?

Climate criminals like Bill McKibben say that Exxon has known since 1969 that CO2 will destroy the planet, yet Bill continues to consume huge amounts of fossil fuels. By any reasonable definition, this makes Bill McKibben an aware and willing enemy of the planet – and an accomplice to genocide.

But if Exxon knew in 1969, why did NCAR not know twenty years later in 1989?

DMI’s Arctic ice graph shows the Arctic losing ice rapidly.

But their maps show no change in ice extent over the past day. Their graph is total BS.

The forecast for the next two weeks is cold over the ice.

Greenland has gained more ice than normal over the winter.

Meanwhile, the press and scientists continue their endless propaganda about Arctic ice disappearing. Because climate science has nothing to do with science.

The DMI graph shows Arctic sea ice extent falling rapidly.

Ocean and Ice Services | Danmarks Meteorologiske Institut

But their maps don’t. The DMI maps actually show extent increasing in the Beaufort Sea, and little loss elsewhere.

Just more BS from the team.
