Real Climate Science

Gavin has done so much data tampering since January, that he had to extend the Y-axis on the NASA global temperature graph in order to accommodate it.

Almost half of claimed global warming is due to data tampering by NASA over the past 10 years.

In 1974, The New York Times reported a one degree centigrade drop in global temperatures, a 12% increase in sea ice, cooling sea surface temperatures, and said that global cooling would lead to erratic weather and food shortages.

NASA has since erased this, and completely turned the climate story upside down. Now they say the climate was stable for the past 5,000 years and global warming causes erratic weather and food shortages.

We are watching the biggest fraud in history unveil ahead of the Paris Conference.

In 1939, all of Greenland’s glaciers were melting, and faced “catastrophic collapse”

17 Dec 1939, Page 15 – at Newspapers.com

This is the identical wildly exaggerated rhetoric being used by scientists today. All nonsense, all the time.

There are 18 currently active USHCN stations in South Carolina. Only one of them set their record daily precipitation during this year’s claimed 1,000 year rainfall. The average year for the precipitation records was 1950, and there is no indication that record rainfalls are more likely now than in the past.

As always, the claims of climate propagandists have no merit.

The full melting of Greenland’s ice sheet could increase sea levels by about 20 feet.

Greenland Is Melting Away – The New York Times

Five hundred billion tons of snow falls on Greenland every year. All of that has to return to the sea by either melt or glacier calving. Otherwise the ice would be piled up to the top of the atmosphere. These anti-science hacks at the New York Times take pictures of that essential process and attribute it to “climate change”

Even the most ridiculous estimates of ice loss in Greenland are less than 200 km³ per year. The volume of the ice sheet is 3,000,000 km³. Using the most aggressive claims, it would take 15,000 years for the ice sheet to melt. That accounts for a sea level rise of about one hundredth of an inch per year. Does Coral Davenport think that one inch of sea level rise over the next century is going to drown her?

But the reality is that the surface of Greenland gains about 300 billion tons of ice every year. Greenland is not melting.

Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Mass Budget: DMI

Ninety percent of the ice sheet gained mass from September 1, 2014 to August 30, 2015.

Claims that the ice sheet is losing 200 km³ / year are based on unreliable gravity calculations made by people with an agenda. Glacial flow to the ocean is controlled by the amount of excess ice building up in the interior. If for some reason the amount of ice building up in the interior decreased, flow would also decrease.

The New York Times has been reporting this same hysteria for almost 85 years.

Climate is cyclical. There is no rational reason to believe that the Greenland ice sheet is going to disappear. More than half of it never gets above freezing most years.

Knut Ångström discovered over 100 years ago that changing the amount of CO2 in the air has very little impact on how much longwave radiation is transmitted. This is the same thing which climate models show. The graph below was generated with data from one of the standard radiative transfer models used in climate and weather models.

As you can see, changing CO2 levels has little impact on the amount of radiation transmitted to the upper atmosphere in the mid-latitude summer.

But it’s worse than it seems. The interesting thing is the amount of downwelling longwave radiation. This is the greenhouse effect. An increase to 1,000 PPM CO2 would increase the amount of downwelling longwave radiation in the mid-latitude summer by less than one percent. The concept being promoted by fraudsters Katherine Hayhoe and Heidi Cullen that summers will get much hotter as CO2 increases, is patently absurd. Correct use of models shows nothing of the sort.

The whole climate scam is based around Hansen’s fake feedbacks. CO2 has very little effect.

On the other hand, downwelling longwave radiation is strongly affected by humidity. A humid day will have 60% greater longwave radiation hitting the ground than a dry day. This is one reason why humidity makes the weather feel hotter. A one percent change in humidity has far more effect than a 100% change in CO2.

If Hansen’s feedbacks were correct, one humid day would start the whole world spiraling towards thermal Armageddon. His theories are patently absurd.

Literally Washing Away

The cemetery, located near Rita on the west end of Majuro, has been eroding for a decade or more, islanders say, something they attribute in part to global warming. The ocean inundations are larger and occurring with greater frequency. In Laura, on the east side of the atoll, one cemetery is reported to be already underwater.

Global Warming: The Effects of Climate Change in Micronesia

These people attribute their problems to global warming, and the author of the article is happy to push their propaganda. Chad Blair didn’t bother to check that sea level has been falling there for the past four years, and is the lowest in 17 years.

Chad Blair believes that building windmills in Kansas will stop the land from sinking in Micronesia.

The identical phenomenon was occurring in the Maldives two hundred years ago. It has nothing to do with CO2 or “climate change”

17 Feb 1837 – ACCOUNT OF THE MALDIVES.

The New York Times reported that 1921 was very hot and dry around the planet.

TimesMachine: January 29, 1922 – NYTimes.com

The criminals at NASA have since erased it, and made 1921 one of the coldest years on record.

Knut Ångström demonstrated over a century ago that adding more CO2 has minimal impact on Earth’s radiative balance. Climate scientists either ignore this completely, or lie about the significance of his findings.

The Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect

Adding more CO2 has very little effect. That is why Hansen had to invent his fake positive feedbacks.
