Real Climate Science

The White House didn’t get the girls back, but they did block that scary Canadian oil – and agree to let China double their CO2 emissions.

• Arctic ice is at a record low
• Glaciers are melting faster than ever
• Sea level is rising faster than ever
• The world is heating faster than ever
• The IRS targeted liberal groups too
• The Middle East is making progress
• Net neutrality will make the Internet more free
• Iran has no intention of building a nuclear weapon
• We will stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon
• Terrorists are on the run
• Most powerful hurricane ever
• Worst drought ever
• Floods are more common
• More one line lies, ad infinitum – to keep the flock bleating

Hundreds of thousands out of hundreds of millions? That is 0.1%.

This genius just made a deal with China to let them double their emissions by 2030. China will produce more CO2 than the rest of the world combined. Any action the US takes will have almost no impact on global CO2 levels.

Almost 100% of Americans work in clean energy every day. Obama is just too stupid to recognize a good thing when it is sitting right under his nose.

The president says he won’t rest until he finds out who the moron was that made that deal with Iran and Russia last week.

One of these two men individuals is commander in chief of the world’s most powerful military.

In 1915, Einstein published the General Theory of Relativity. The 97% consensus soundly rejected it – like they do with almost all significant progress in science.

Congressional Democrats refuse to listen to Dr. Roy Spencer, because he is a Christian.

Instead, they invited the Pope to come speak about climate science.

In Hansen 1984, he predicted that peak sea ice loss from global warming would occur in the Weddell Sea of Antarctica, and that all of Antarctica would lose sea ice.

Instead of losing sea ice, Antarctica has been gaining sea ice at a rate of 84% per century.

And the peak sea ice gain has occurred in the Weddell Sea, right where Hansen predicted sea ice loss.

Hansen’s career has been dominated by being wrong about almost everything, going back to his PhD thesis where he absurdly blamed Venusian heat on particulates in the atmosphere.

James Hansen is famous for lying to the press, and his protege Gavin Schmidt is following in his footsteps.

“Long-term trends in Antarctic temperature are perhaps slightly rising over the continent as a whole, but are quite variable,” Schmidt told Live Science in an email

‘Freak Weather Event’ Sets Antarctic Heat Records

This is the exact opposite of what he published in a peer-reviewed paper in 2004.

While most of the Earth warmed rapidly during recent decades, surface temperatures decreased significantly over most of Antarctica.

Perhaps Antarctica has warmed since 2004, reversing the trend he reported in 2004? Gavin’s own data shows that hasn’t happened.

Satellites show that southernmost latitudes have been cooling for 35 years.

Antarctic sea ice has been steadily growing over the past 35 years, and is near record levels now. This is occurring because the waters around Antarctica are cooling.

There is so much ice, that scientists trying to prove the ice is disappearing are getting stuck in it.

So why did Gavin tell the press that Antarctica is warming?

Barack Obama has made his way through life by ignoring experts, and breaking existing paradigms. Had he listened to expert opinions, he wouldn’t be president. He really doesn’t care what anyone else thinks.

Except when it comes to these people, whom he pretends are unassailable masters of the universe. When it comes to science, no one is permitted to question their opinion.
