National Geographic predicts five feet of sea level rise for South Florida in the next 85 years.
Had they actually done any research, they would have known that sea level in south Florida has been rising 2.33 mm/year for the past century, has not accelerated, has not shown any correspondence with atmospheric CO2, and will only rise another seven inches by the year 2100.
You simply can’t make up stupid and dishonest like climate alarmists.
Vice-president Al Gore destroyed climate science in 1993, by cutting off funding to any scientists who refused to go along with his scam.
Dr. Bill Gray from CSU was one of the very few who refused to compromise his integrity. Yesterday was Bill’s 86th birthday, and we had lunch in Boulder. A true American hero.
National Geographic now denies the existence of the Medieval Warm Period, which they wrote extensively about in the past.
March 1892:
from perhaps the tenth to the sixteenth centuries, the glaciers of the Alps were much less extensive than at present.
At present they are in general retreating … almost as rapid as at Glacier Bay (Alaska)
Fox News of course jumped all over the thousand year flood BS, like they do with everything they hear from climate alarmists.
USGS says there was no thousand year flood and no correlation between flooding and CO2.
USGS provisional data and preliminary analysis show NO indication that a 1000-year flood discharge occurred at any USGS streamgages
USGS research has shown no linkage between flooding (either increases or decreases) and the increase in greenhouse gases. Essentially, from USGS long-term streamgage data for sites across the country with no regulation or other changes to the watershed that could influence the streamflow, the data shows no systematic increases in flooding through time.
The good news is that Janice Dean has promised to not make that same mistake again.
In 1908, National Geographic reported that Alaskan glaciers retreated ten miles from 1894 to 1907. Barack Obama blames Alaskan glacier retreat on your SUV.
In 1923, the whole world was rapidly warming and glaciers were disappearing. It was reported that “Iceland is no longer … the land of ice”
04 May 1923 – WINTERS ARE WARMER. Why the World’s Climate is C…
NASA (AKA The Ministry of Truth) does not show this warming prior to 1923.
This pre-1923 warming was clearly shown in the 1975 National Academy of Sciences graph, as was the cooling after the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa – which NASA has also erased.
In 1976, National Geographic showed the same pre-1923 warm up, and had a discussion of the 1883 Krakatoa cooling.
They also photographically documented the retreat of glaciers before 1940.

Until a few years ago, NASA showed the 1920’s warm up in Iceland, and temperature maximum around 1940.
But that didn’t fit the needs of the criminals in the White House, so NASA simply made the earlier warmth in Iceland disappear.
The people generating these graphs are fraudsters, not scientists. It is sad a few clueless skeptics still pretend that the NASA/NOAA temperature records are somehow legitimate.
In 1923, eminent scientists announced that Earth was running out of water, and that we would have to build a world-wide system of irrigation like the Martians did.

If you aren’t in academia, you simply aren’t qualified to question the clueless buffoons they call “scientists.”
The Washington Post claims that snow cover is declining in North America.
Why you should be worried about declining snow cover across North America – The Washington Post
Last year had the highest autumn snow cover ever recorded for North America, and winter snow cover has steadily increased as well.
Boston had one of their snowiest winters on record last year.
Three months earlier, the Washington Post reported on record cold in DC
The Potomac has finally melted, but it was gorgeous in ice and snow (Photos) – The Washington Post
Just north of DC, we had near record amounts of snow last winter. Facts don’t matter to climate alarmists. They are paid to produce propaganda, not disseminate factual information.
After the shortest melt season on record, Arctic sea ice extent has grown almost two million km² and is now approaching the highest extent for the date in the last ten years.
The National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado of course fails to mention any of this in their October 6 report.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday joined government leaders worldwide in signing an agreement to help combat global warming and keep the Earth’s average temperature from rising dangerously.
The Under Two MOU, a memorandum of understanding signed by more than three dozen government leaders, affirmed New York’s commitment to helping keep the Earth’s average temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius and committed the state to working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions about 40 percent by 2030. Cuomo said he hoped New York would be able to generate 50 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources by then.
“Climate change is an issue of society’s sustainability. To deny that climate change is real is to defy reason … denial is not a survival strategy,” Cuomo told an audience of a few hundred people at Columbia University before signing the agreement.
The memo comes ahead of the United Nations’ climate negotiations in Paris in December. Former vice president and environmentalist Al Gore sat next to Cuomo on stage. He said he hoped New York’s commitment would send a strong signal to world leaders and encourage others to make the same pledge.
Cuomo said to ignore climate change “is gross negligence by government and irresponsible as citizens.” He reaffirmed New York’s commitment to address global warming and climate change amid projections showing a rising sea level that could eventually wipe out parts of the state.
“Current projections estimate that sea levels will rise 1 to 4 feet by 2100,” the governor said. “If that is true, New York State would be devastated, it’s that simple. Even at a fraction of that rise, Manhattan as we know it would be gone.”
NY Governor: Denying Global Warming Isn’t a Survival Plan – ABC News
Every single statement by Cuomo goes beyond the pale of idiocy. Seventy-five percent of New York’s energy usage comes from fossil fuels. Only one percent from wind and solar. They aren’t increasing nuclear. They can’t increase hydro. The only way they can get to 50% is by freezing millions of New Yorkers to death, after their coldest winter on record in 2014/2015.
Sea level at Manhattan has been rising at the same rate (2.8mm/year) since Lincoln was president. It is mainly due to land subsidence, and there is nothing that can be done to stop it. It will take over 400 years for sea level to rise four feet there.
In 1988, NASA’s top scientist predicted Manhattan would be underwater by now. Sea level at Manhattan has only risen an inch or two since Hansen made that brainless forecast.
The occurrence of hot weather in New York has been declining since the 19th century.
Global temperatures have been declining since the beginning of the 21st century. It is barking madness to be discussing a two degree rise in temperature.
Our governments are run by criminals, idiots and liars.
