I’m spending the summer in beautiful Burlington, Vermont – where Bernie started his political career and where his wife just bankrupted Burlington College – and walked away with $200,000. Democrats call stealing from hardworking Americans “social justice.”
Weather changes here, abroad threaten unending food shortage
all over the world scientists are gathering data on changing global weather patterns. THE DATA they are collecting Is startling and frightening. It shows that growing seasons in the world s most productive agricultural areas are being shortened or disrupted.
The changes in the weather are so drastic, many scientists are convinced the world is undergoing a climate change.
as many as a half a billion people may die from the food shortages before the end of the century
climatologists around the world have come to the same conclusions …. They have detected a significant expansion of high-altitude polar winds that move above the North and South Poles, controlling the prevailing wind patterns over the rest of the world. They theorize that the expanded polar wind activity has changed the patterns of equatorial winds that normally bring monsoon rains to Africa, to India, and to Latin America.
At the same time, the polar ice caps have been growing, and the climatologists think are may be moving into a period of shorter growing seasons and shrinking crop zones, particularly in Canada and the U. S.
ASIDE FROM shifting pattern (of monsoon rains and the lengthening winters in the northern hemisphere. one of the most ominous fluctuations is the drop in the mean global atmospheric temperature by 2.7 degrees since the late 1940s.
Earth just recorded its warmest April on record, and it wasn’t even close
More accurate satellite temperatures show that April 1998 was warmer, and this April was just another El Nino spike – which will quickly disappear. April temperatures have generally been declining over the past 18 years. Why did Andrew forget to mention that?

The White House says that global warming is increasing heatwaves and killing people.
Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases lead to an increase of both average and extreme temperatures. This is expected to lead to an increase in deaths and illness from heat
The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the United States: A Scientific Assessment
Obama probably should have asked his EPA – who say the exact opposite. Heatwaves are way down from the 1930’s. Hardly anybody dies in the US from heatwaves any more.

The White House simply makes facts up, in order to scare people into following their political agenda. It has nothing to do with climate science, or acceptable human values.
In 1974, the CIA reported an unprecedented spike in Iceland temperatures around 1940, followed by a rapid cooling.
This didn’t suit Obama White House political requirements, so NOAA and NASA altered the data a few years ago to make the 1940’s warmth in Iceland disappear.
The lower troposphere is still warm from the El Nino.
But not as warm as it was in April 1998, when CO2 was much lower.
From April to November 1998, troposphere temperatures plummeted, as seen in this animation.
It appears we may be doing a repeat of 1998. But I am not a forecaster, and climate experts say that CO2 is the thermostat control knob. So temperatures can only go up.
Alarmists are currently hysterical about ice melting in the Beaufort Sea. Only problem is that it isn’t melting. A high pressure system created winds which blew the ice offshore – but facts don’t matter to alarmists.
The satellite animation shows what happened. Note that the satellites are pretty messed up right now, and the images are losing some colors – but it is still easy to see what happened to the ice.
The USHCN Time Of Observation BIAS (TOBS) adjustment is based on the idea that thermometers reset in the afternoon tend to double count hot days and thus produce a warm bias. For example, Warrenton, MO reset their thermometer at 5PM from 1923 to 1976, so NOAA deducted about 1.5 degrees to compensate.
This theory is easy to test by comparing vs. a nearby morning station. According to theory, the morning station should be cooler. Farmington, MO is close to Warrenton and reset their thermometer at 7 AM from 1931 to 1950, so they should be cooler than Warrenton during that period.
The theory doesn’t work. Farmington summer maximum temperatures (red below) are nearly identical to Warrenton temperatures (blue below.) Only exception is 1935, which is missing data at Warrenton.
Likewise, the number of hot afternoons is nearly identical at the two stations – again Farmington in red and Warrenton in blue. If double counting was occurring, Warrenton would have more hot afternoons than Farmington during the 1930’s – but it doesn’t.
TOBS theory simply does not work in practice.
In 2005, our crack scientists Hillary and John announced that the North Pole will be ice-free by the end of the century “for the first time in more than a million years.”

This is surprising, because the New York Times announced at the end of the 20th century, that the North Pole had already melted for the first time in more than 50 million years.

This seems confusing, but Nobel laureate Al Gore clarified by explaining that the Arctic didn’t become ice-free until 2014.
Gore: Polar ice cap may disappear by summer 2014
Scientists further clarified by explaining that 50 million years ago was actually only 5,000 years ago.
“Examination of several proxy records (e.g., sediment cores) of sea ice indicate ice-free or near ice-free summer conditions for at least some time during the period of 15,000 to 5,000 years ago”
If you don’t understand all of this, then Loretta Lynch will prosecute you.
In 1974, 22 out of 27 forecasting methods predicted global cooling through the rest of the century.
