In 1957, Texas went from five years of extreme drought to flood – in a matter of a few weeks.

Some cattle in Texas had never seen rain when the floods came.

Vikings farmed in Greenland, a thousand years before global warming drought industrial farming to the region. Here are some busy farmers in Tasilaq, Greenland today.

Michael Mann says that there was no Medieval Warm period, and that temperatures are much higher now than when the Vikings farmed in Greenland.

The summer of 2006 had the highest minimum extent of the past  decade. This year Arctic ice is tracking 2006 very closely. Temperatures in the Beaufort Sea are forecast to remain below freezing for the next week, so we should see a slow start to the melt season in the Arctic Basin

Crosbyton, Texas is the closest USHCN station to Lubbock, TX – where Canadian Katherine Hayhoe moved 10 years ago and declared herself the local climate expert.

One month ago, she warned Texas cattlemen about drought and desertification due to global warming

Now she is blaming the rain on global warming.

This is what Lubbock looks like today.

January to May rainfall is about the same as it was seventy years ago

The number of days with rain is about the same as the 1960s

The number of days with heavy rain hasn’t changed. 

The heaviest rainfall events haven’t changed recently, but were slightly larger a century ago.

Snowfall is about the same as 100 years ago.

The number of 100 degree days peaked in the 1930’s. There was one very hot summer in 2011, but it was an outlier.

There was a spike in temperatures about 10 years ago back up to 1920’s levels, but it has disappeared.

Katherine Hayhoe bases on her claims on superstition and faith, not data. There is no indication of long term climate change in Lubbock.

Katherine Hayhoe says that she can make Houston street flooding less severe, by lowering CO2 levels.

This is what Galveston looked like 115 years ago, when CO2 was a very safe 300 PPM.

In 2011, NCDC showed Texas winters cooling slightly from 1895 to 2011

But that didn’t suit the agenda, so they simply changed the data and now show it warming

The animation below shows how they altered Texas winter temperature

The next animation compares NCDC for the entire year vs. the raw HCN thermometer data. They turned a strong cooling trend into a strong warming trend.

This was accomplished through a spectacular two degrees of data tampering

As with most other government climate data, the Texas temperature record has been massively abused to generate global warming propaganda.It shows the exact opposite of what is actually occurring.

Arctic sea ice coverage is nearly identical to 20 years ago

Arctic sea ice is following almost the exact trajectory of 2006, which had the highest summer minimum of the last decade.

Temperatures in the Beaufort Sea are forecast to remain below the freezing point through the first two weeks of the summer melt season

The Beaufort Sea is full of very thick ice.

Arctic sea ice is about the same thickness (2 meters) as it was 75 years ago.

Arctic sea ice is the thickest it has been in a decade.

Climate experts say the Arctic has been ice-free since 2013

They have been making the same predictions for as long as anyone can remember.

Climate experts have no idea what they are talking about, and they never did. There is no reason to believe that Earth is headed towards an ice-free Arctic.

From Wikipedia

The Little Ice Age was a period from about 1550 to 1850 when the world experienced relatively cooler temperatures compared to the present. Subsequently, until about 1940, glaciers around the world retreated as the climate warmed substantially. Glacial retreat slowed and even reversed temporarily, in many cases, between 1950 and 1980 as global temperatures cooled slightly.

Retreat of glaciers since 1850 – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is difficult to overstate how stupid this line of thinking is.

They claim that glaciers melted as the climate warmed rapidly from 1850 to 1940, but then a slight cooling after 1940 caused glaciers to advance. The theory they are promoting is that the freezing point of water is controlled by whether temperatures are increasing, or decreasing – not the absolute temperature. That is just plain idiotic.

Humans surpassed this level of ignorance hundreds of years ago, until brain-dead climate science became prominent. These really are the world’s stupidest people.

While extreme weather events like droughts and floods occur naturally in Texas, precipitation in the state is becoming more variable, making droughts more potent and increasing the risk of heavy rainfall and flooding, Hayhoe said.

Precipitation in Texas is not changing. It is not becoming more variable.

Floods in Texas happen all the time. In 1979, they had 43 inches of rain in one day at NASA Houston. At least four times as much as this week’s “record rainfall”

Weather Research Center – Houston Texas [email protected]

During the 1935 flood, two-thirds of the county was flooded

Houston had a major flood every six years from 1836 to 1936. It has nothing to do with “climate change”

Harris County suffered through 16 major floods from 1836 to 1936, some of which crested at more than 40 feet, turning downtown Houston streets into raging rivers.

Allison: A Name We’ll Never Forget Tropical Storm Allison suddenly formed 80 miles off the coast of Galveston, Texas, on Tuesday, June 5, 2001, no one expected that, five days later, it would go on record as one of the most devastating rain events in the history of the United States. Neither historical data nor weather forecasts could adequately predict this extraordinary storm that, before leaving the area, would dump as much as 80 percent of the area’s average annual rainfall over much of Harris County,

Hayhoe is a Canuck who showed up in Texas a few years ago, thinks she is an expert on Texas climate, and thinks she is superior to real Texans. She has no clue what she is talking about.

Ten year drought. Floods. Say whatever BS is necessary to keep funding coming in.
