Real Climate Science

New York State is investigating Exxon for telling the truth about CO2 in 1976, but the big story is that NASA and NCAR have known since 1971 that CO2 is not dangerous – yet have lied to the public about this for over 30 years.

In 1971, the top climatologists at NCAR and NASA reported that a runaway greenhouse effect is not possible, because the CO2 absorption spectra is nearly saturated already.

This is exactly what NCAR’s current radiative transfer models show. Adding more CO2 has very little effect on downwelling longwave radiation.

But it is worse than it seems. Scientists have actually known for 115 years that CO2 is not dangerous.

Knut Ångström, asked an assistant to measure the passage of infrared radiation through a tube filled with carbon dioxide. The assistant (“Herr J. Koch,” otherwise unrecorded in history) put in rather less of the gas in total than would be found in a column of air reaching to the top of the atmosphere. The assistant reported that the amount of radiation that got through the tube scarcely changed when he cut the quantity of gas back by a third. Apparently it took only a trace of the gas to “saturate” the absorption — that is, in the bands of the spectrum where CO2 blocked radiation, it did it so thoroughly that more gas could make little difference.

The Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect

The evidence of fraud is overwhelming. An essential component of greenhouse gas theory is that a hotspot will appear in the upper troposphere. It hasn’t happened.

Satellites show that there has been about 0.1C warming over the past 25 years. Even less than the sensitivity calculated by Rasool and Schneider in 1971

All of the climate models have overestimated warming, many by a large amount.

Catastrophic global warming theory has failed. But rather than tell the truth and lose their reputations and funding, NASA and NOAA scientists have chosen to tamper with the data and continue lying to the public about something they have known is not a problem – for 45 years.

The Danish Meteorological Institute produces this graph of Arctic sea ice extent, which is the best graph available from any data source. It shows Arctic ice growing at a record pace, and the highest of any year since at least 2004.

The features of this graph which make it more meaningful than the largely useless graphs from NSIDC and other sources are :

1. They show the extent of 30% concentration ice, rather than 15%. This is a smaller number, but a better indication of the condition of the ice.
2. It masks off don’t-care coastal zones.
3. It shows the full range of years going back to 1995.
4. They don’t tamper with data, like NSIDC did on April 17, 2012

In 1971, NASA and NCAR’s top climatologists knew that even a massive increase in atmospheric CO2 would produce less than 2 degrees warming. The entire basis of the catastrophic global warming scam has been known to be a fraud from day one.

This is consistent with what radiative transfer models and satellite temperatures show. Without NASA and NOAA data tampering, the entire scam would have collapsed a decade ago.

I had to drive down to Fredricksburg, Virginia yesterday. This meant leaving at 6 am to miss the traffic on the Beltway. I waited until 6 pm to return home, and got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic all the way back to Gaithersburg. By the time I dropped off the car, and took the Taxi home, it was 9 PM. The whole day shot.

My normal life involves commuting by Internet, bicycle or train. Driving completely sucks. I don’t understand what people like about it.

Future generations will need the petroleum for plastics, medicine, lubrication and many other reasons. We need to stop wasting it.

Riding up to Harper’s Ferry this morning I got lucky and saw this beauty across the river in Virginia.

The obsession with global warming will put the lights out all over Britain – Telegraph

Politicians who are pushing global warming, are traitors destroying our security. Period.

Arctic sea ice continues its record growth this autumn, having gained four million km² since September 1 after the shortest melt season on record.

Land ice has also grown at a record rate since September 1, with Greenland gaining about three billion tons of ice a day since September 1.

Meanwhile, climate scientists demand racketeering money, as they continue to lie about the condition of the Arctic and man’s ability to influence it.

 Greenland Is Melting Away – The New York Times

NOAA’s climate criminals claim sea level is rising almost twice as fast as their sea level people do.

NOAA’s climate people claim that sea level is rising 3.2 mm/year. Their sea level people say it is just over half that.

the absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year.

Sea Level Trends – Global Regional Trends

As I reported earlier, NOAA made the sea level page above disappear yesterday. But it won’t do them any good, because it is on the web archive and because anyone can look at their actual sea level data.

NOAA has 240 tide gauges globally, and 86% of them show less sea level rise than the claimed average of 3.2 mm/year. The average of all of the NOAA tide gauges is 1.14 mm/year, just over one third of the NOAA climate claims.

Make no mistake about it, NOAA’s climate people are engaged in fraud.

I was stuck in traffic on I-95 and the Beltway for two hours tonight, and was listening to NPR. They had a story about Keystone.

Obama said that Keystone “would not be a disaster for the climate, but it would send the wrong message ahead of Paris” In other words, it is all about politics and nothing to do with science or climate.

NPR was unable to locate any Republicans in Washington DC to talk to, so they talked to some random left wing whack jobs on the street, and Bill McKibben – who unloaded a barrage of spectacular lies, of course unchallenged by NPR.

• “2015 was the hottest year in the history of the planet”
• “Antarctica is melting”
• “The Arctic is melting”

Most of the past 600 million were years were about 18 degrees F warmer than this year, even after NASA data tampering. Why isn’t the DOJ investigating McKibben for lying about the climate?

NASA announced this week that Antarctica continues to gain ice. Why isn’t the DOJ investigating McKibben for lying about the climate?

The Arctic has seen record sea ice and land ice gain this Autumn. Why isn’t the DOJ investigating McKibben for lying about the climate?

The age of reason is over. We have an idiot in the White House who doesn’t know the difference between a metal tube, and the climate.

Yesterday I posted this very inconvenient truth from the NOAA web site.

the absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year.

Sea Level Trends – Global Regional Trends

And today it is gone.

NOAA reorganized the web site today and removed this proof of their “3.2 mm/year” fraud.

I anticipated they would do this and archived the page in numerous places. You can still see it here on the web archive.
