In 1913, the father of global warming predicted Canada would see an influx of global warming refugees. How did that turn out?
Over the past two weeks, Canada’s tropics of Toronto has averaged -11C, and has only been above freezing for an hour or two
The Great Lakes have record ice cover
And Niagara Falls is frozen solid
Many years ago my girlfriend told me to kiss her in the stinky place. So we drove to Hamilton and made out.
“I’m sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

NCDC says this is one of the hottest winters ever in the US, with 56% of the US below normal temperature over the past 60 days.

The White House is leading the attacks on science and academic freedom. Obama has it right at the top of his web site.
Be a part of the team that’s holding climate change deniers’ feet to the fire. Add your name.
Obama is attempting to quite literally return the world to the dark ages, using the same imagery they used to deal with geo-centricism deniers.
I continue to be amused by skeptics who have been trying to pretend this has something to do with science, and believe that being polite will protect them from the politics driving this.

Yesterday, CU professor Mark Williams announced the demise of Colorado skiing. And today, southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico are forecast to get 3-4 feet of snow.
Over the deade the authors examined (2000 to 2010), the average level of the gas (CO2) in the atmosphere went up by 22 parts-per-million. And the time series shows a steadily rising trend in its impact, layered on top of the seasonal changes. By the end of that period, the gas was retaining an extra 0.2 Watts for every square meter of the Earth’s surface compared to the start.
Still, it seems worth noting that the continued increase in greenhouse energy retention measured during this time coincides with a period where the Earth’s surface temperatures did not change dramatically. All that energy must have been going somewhere.

The authors started in the 2000 La Nina, and ended at the 2010 El Nino – when troposphere temperatures were half a degree warmer. Then they noticed that there was slightly more downwelling longwave radiation, which they blamed on increased absorption from the increase in CO2.
The increase in DLWR was due to the warmer troposphere during the El Nino. Warmer air emits more longwave radiation. The higher concentration of CO2 will also emit more DLWR radiation, but that is not due to increased absorption. I don’t know how scientists can get any more clueless than that.
Experts tell us that the current cold winter in DC is caused by global warming, but 45 years ago cold winters in DC were caused by global cooling and the coming ice age.

24 Jan 1970 – In his State of the Union address, President Nix…
This global cooling period, reported by the government’s top climatologist, has since been erased by Gavin, Tom and John Cook.
In 1946, cherry trees were blooming in Washington DC by mid-March
After 70 years of out of control warming, Washington and most of the rest of the country will be lucky to be above freezing by mid-March.
But cherry blossoms are just cherry picking. What about sea level and the polar meltdown?
Scientists warned in 1947 that the poles had warmed 10 degrees, were melting, and were going to drown us all – unless we gave them money to study it.
temperatures in the Arctic have increased by 10 degrees Fahrenheit since 1900. An ‘enormous’ rise from the scientific standpoint. Waters in the Spitsbergen area, in the same period, have risen from three to five degrees in temperature, and one to one and a half millimetres yearly in level. ‘The Arctic change is so serious that I hope an international agency can speedily be formed to study conditions on a global basis.’
Academics are under constant pressure to raise money, and know that climate is one of the most reliable sources. Global warming or global cooling – it makes no difference. The key thing is to keep the public constantly alarmed by fake crises.
Colorado sank to desperate lows in 2008 when they hosted the beginning of emperor Obama’s attempted coup.
And again in 2012/2013 when the Democrats in the legislature voted to repeal the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.
But the state has made a comeback. They tossed out the Democrats in the state senate who led the attack on the Bill of Rights, they tossed out carpetbagger Mark Udall, rejected hundreds of millions in Steyer and Bloomberg propaganda, and ended the ban on marijuana. Oil and gas is booming in Colorado due to fracking on private land. As a result of these libertarian actions, the economy of Colorado is booming. The state’s gun shops largely ignore the illegal laws passed by the Democrats.
I have never taken any illegal drugs, and almost never any legal ones. But the government has no business controlling people’s lives. I applaud my home state for their courage and recovery from the attempted Obama coup.
Buckhanon, WV has the longest continuous temperature record in the Northeastern US. The number of 90 degree days there is much lower than it was 60 and 120 years ago.
The length of summer is also shorter than it was 60 or 100 years ago.
Climate experts say that summers are getting hotter and longer, because $29 billion in government climate money can buy a whole lot of confirmation bias and outright lies.
