I rarely use my car in Colorado, but am headed off to Maryland car-free today. I’m taking the $12 bus from Boulder to DIA, which is the fastest, most convenient and by far the cheapest way to get there. From BWI I am taking the $5 bus to Gaithersburg. In Maryland and DC I will commute on the MARC train, the Metro, and use my bicycle for other transport.
* I may have to rent a car for a couple of days to drive to Virginia. Ugh. I hate driving.
In 1924, it was reported that all of glaciers in the Rockies had been retreating since 1902, with very rapid retreat since 1919.
According to massively tampered data from NOAA, 1924 was the fourth coldest year on record in Colorado, and the entire period of retreat was very cold. CO2 was less than 310 PPM.

This raises three important points.
Zwally’s team calculated that the mass gain from the thickening of East Antarctica remained steady from 1992 to 2008 at 200 billion tons per year, while the ice losses from the coastal regions of West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula increased by 65 billion tons per year.
“The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,” Zwally said. “But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for.”

Utter nonsense. Scientists know exactly what is causing sea level rise. Groundwater mining.
Global groundwater depletion leads to sea level rise
Large-scale extraction of groundwater for irrigation of crops leads to a sea level rise of 0.8 mm per year, which is about one fourth of the current rate of sea level rise of 3.1 mm per year. This conclusion follows from a study by hydrologists from Utrecht University and the research institute Deltares. A paper about this study is currently in press with Geophysical Research Letters.
Almost half of the NOAA reported sea level rise is due to groundwater mining.
absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year.
Actual sea level rise is less than 1 mm/year. Sea level is one of the biggest criminal ventures in this scam. Even the most flagrant alarmists say their WAIS collapse theory won’t happen for at least 200 years.
Scientists declare an ‘urgent’ mission – study West Antarctica, and fast – The Washington Post
So where do scientists come up with claims like two meters of sea level rise this century? They are simply lying. There is zero scientific basis for their claims. They are criminals, not scientists.
NASA now says that Antarctica is gaining ice.

I have been pointing out for years that the academic interpretations of ice loss via GRACE gravity data, are complete garbage.

The implications of this study devastate climate alarmism:
The climate scam is dead scientifically. There is nothing left but fraud, lies, corruption, censorship and extortion.
We are seeing unprecedented growth of Arctic ice this autumn.
After the shortest melt season on record, and the fastest growth on record, Arctic sea ice is the highest for the date since at least 2004.
Similarly, Greenland has gained a record 200 billion tons of ice since September 1. This is more than 50% above normal.
The record growth of Greenland ice has been associated with record cold, approaching -60C last month in the interior of Greenland.
NASA and NOAA criminals claim that this is the hottest year ever, but they are lying. Arctic amplification is the most fundamental tenet of global warming theory, and we are seeing the exact opposite. Satellites show that 2015 is 0.26°C cooler than 1998.
The NASA hottest year ever claim was created by massively tampering with data. It is a complete fraud.
The data tampering includes a scientifically untenable linear increase of 0.3°C between 1930 and 2002. There is no physical phenomenon which could account for this type of linear error. A smoking gun of fraud.

Arctic ice doesn’t lie, but NASA and NOAA climate scientists do.
There are so many things wrong with article, it is difficult to know where to start. Drought is actually affecting an unusually small portion of the US right now, and it is localized in the Pacific Northwest. This has been the wettest year on record in the US.
Compare with October, 1934.
Then the author quotes the Arizona State Climatologist disputing everything she said about extreme weather and drought, but implies that she agrees with him.
Dr. Nancy Selover, the state climatologist for Arizona, said there is good science supporting the public’s belief in global warming.
That isn’t what she said at all. She said the exact opposite.
“we’re not necessarily seeing evidence of extreme events …. drought is not a good indicator of global warming.”
Droughts are becoming less severe and less frequent in the US
If they still made Americans read Steinbeck in high school, 70% of the population wouldn’t be so ignorant.
In 1989, scientists said that Antarctica would gain ice, instead of melting and that sea level will rise only one-third as fast as they thought previously.
Ten weeks ago, NASA announced with “near certainty” that sea level was going to rise faster than expected.

Sea Level Rising Faster Than Expected, NASA Warns
New research underway indicates that at least three feet of global sea level rise is near certain, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientists warned Wednesday.
And yesterday NASA cycled back to the 1989 story. Antarctica is gaining ice.
The only thing certain is that government climate alarmists are total frauds, and that they constantly lie about their knowledge and their certainty.
Criminals at NOAA are claiming that sea level in the San Francisco Bay is rising to catastrophic levels.
Their own data shows that there has been no change in San Francisco Bay sea level for decades.
NASA says that Antarctica is gaining ice.
Greenland is gaining record amounts of ice
In summary. There has been no sea level rise in the San Francisco Bay, and no source of melting ice to raise sea level. The NOAA claims are 100% fraudulent, are not based on any science, and only exist to push the White House political agenda.
