Real Climate Science

Nick Stokes is raising dust over at WUWT about my USHCN data.

My USHCN calculations are very simple. I average all of the USHCN monthly data per year. The average USHCN final data diverges massively from the measured (raw) temperatures.

Nick claims that the biggest part of the adjustments is TOB (Time of Observation Bias.) That is nonsense. Most of the adjustments are the magical ones they do on top of TOB.

The hockey stick in their adjustments since 2000 is due to simply making up data. Almost half of their final temperatures are now fake.

Nick wants you to believe that area weighting the data is very important. It isn’t. The USHCN stations are relatively evenly spaced by design, though my method does tend to weight populated regions more heavily than rural regions. Overall, area weighting has a minimal effect. Every good engineer understands that you don’t obscure your code with optimizations until you have established basic principles and understand what the underlying data is telling you.

Nick also claims that I am comparing two different sets of stations. This is complete BS. USHCN fabricates missing data for almost half their stations. That is an utterly unacceptable practice.

All US warming over the past century is due to USHCN adjustments.

During the 1960’s, environmentalists like myself bragged about our success stories cleaning up America’s rivers. Now the EPA is doing the exact opposite. On the same week they laid out their plan to destroy America’s energy infrastructure and vast tracts of land with “green energy” – they  destroyed the Colorado River Basin

The Environmental Protection Agency  is no longer protecting the environment – rather they are destroying it. That is why they need to be terminated.

Jason Box of Denmark is today’s featured climate fraudster, as he is one of the principals pushing the Greenland melting scam. Jason claims that 2015 was a big melt summer in Greenland

Climate models also don’t yet sufficiently resolve extended periods of lazy north-south extended jet streams that produce the kind of sunny summers over Greenland (2007-2012 and 2015) that resulted in melting that our models didn’t foresee happening until 2100.

Earth’s Ice Is Melting Much Faster Than Forecast. Here’s Why That’s Worrying. | Jason E. Box

Ninety percent of Greenland’s surface gained mass over the past year

Melt rates were below normal for three-quarters of the melt season

The melt season was very short, and ended very early. Greenland’s surface gained 200 billion tons of ice.

Scientists in the interior of Greenland are buried in snow and ice.

Temperatures in the interior of Greenland never got anywhere near the melting point this summer.

Greenland did have a warm period ten years ago – but temperatures have been plummeting ever since.

Jason’s claim that 2015 was a big melt summer in Greenland is utter garbage. Just one more climate fraudster who tells the left wing press what they want to hear.

Ten years ago, experts told us that hurricanes like Katrina and Rita were the new normal, due to global warming.

The period since has been the quietest on record for US hurricanes, with no major (category 3-5) hurricanes.

It is time to connect the dots, and recognize that climate experts have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

Climate experts claim that global warming brings drought to the west. Data tells us the exact opposite – the west has gotten much wetter since the Little Ice Age (which fraudster Michael Mann tried to erase.)

Experts like Katherine Hayhoe have been hysterically warning about drought in the southwest, based on their mindless superstitions about CO2. Over the past two years, the southwest and Rocky Mountain states have been much wetter than normal.

Your tax dollars go to support these academic and governmental morons.

You just can’t make up stupid like progressives.

Greenland’s surface has been gaining ice over the last few days, and has gained over 200 billion tons of ice over the past year. The melt season has ended a month early.

Meanwhile, the shameless criminals at the Guardian are lying to their readers and telling them the exact opposite.

Last week, climate criminals were blaming the increase in Antarctic sea ice on global warming. Gaia immediately responded to their shameless, cynical fraud by dropping sea ice area below normal for the first time in four years.

Arctic and Antarctic ice anomalies move opposite each other. Now that the Arctic is gaining sea ice, Antarctica is starting to lose sea ice.

Once again the Obama administration is actively working to destroy the US.
