Real Climate Science

Three years ago, experts said that global warming means warm winters and less snow in the Northeast. Now they claim they predicted cold winters and more snow.

Most people think about global warming during the dog days of summer. But temperatures are rising in the winter too, and that means less snow.

Winter climate change raises important science and policy questions. A decrease in frigid nights means fewer frozen pipes and failing furnaces. We might also expect less ice-related accidents and the spread of species that are adapted to milder climates

In the Northeast, water quality and pancake breakfasts are now among the potential victims of a warming world.

If you turn on the heat in your electric car, you probably won’t make it home. Might as well take a bicycle like I do.

Compare this year vs last. Nearly identical record breaking cold at the beginning of March. Government experts say it is the hottest weather ever, because they are paid to lie.

We waste huge amounts of energy in the US because of poor building practices and poor traffic management. Improving those would improve quality of life, cut down energy bills, and add more quality time to everybody’s day.

Instead of spouting mindless BS like Trenberth and Mann do about Boston snow, how about doing some actual science?

Boston has had their driest snow on record this winter

Boston is having one of their coldest winters on record.

Colder winters in Boston have more snow. Warmer winters in Boston have less snow

Mann and Trenberth say that excess moisture caused by global warming has caused the deep snow in Boston. There isn’t one shred of evidence to back that up. There has been no increase in winter precipitation at Boston, and this year doesn’t even rank in the top ten.

It is snowing, because it is cold.

Today is the last day of meteorological winter.

NCDC says this was one of the hottest winters ever in the US, with record snow cover coast to coast, and record ice on the Great Lakes

The big melt: Antarctica’s retreating ice reshapes Earth – The Santa Fe New Mexican: News

A few weeks ago, Senator Tom Udall announced the death of New Mexico due to global warming. The forecast this weekend is for three and as much as five feet of new snow in the mountains.

The percentage of days with extreme heat or cold in the US has declined sharply since the 1930’s.

US tornadoes have been at a record low for the past 3+ years. US hurricanes are at a record low. US major hurricanes are at a record low. More of the country is wet than dry.

Every major climate indicator shows that the US is experiencing an unusually mild period – the exact opposite of what Obama claims.
