Real Climate Science

Due to the extreme cold, New York has had no murders for 12 days.

In 1998, Hansen predicted that parts of Manhattan would be underwater by now, and that crime would shoot up because of the heat..

While doing research 12 or 13 years ago, I met Jim Hansen, the scientist who in 1988 predicted the greenhouse effect before Congress. I went over to the window with him and looked out on Broadway in New York City and said, “If what you’re saying about the greenhouse effect is true, is anything going to look different down there in 20 years?” He looked for a while and was quiet and didn’t say anything for a couple seconds. Then he said, “Well, there will be more traffic.” I, of course, didn’t think he heard the question right. Then he explained, “The West Side Highway [which runs along the Hudson River] will be under water. And there will be tape across the windows across the street because of high winds. And the same birds won’t be there. The trees in the median strip will change.” Then he said, “There will be more police cars.” Why? “Well, you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up.”

When did he say this will happen?

Within 20 or 30 years. And remember we had this conversation in 1988 or 1989.

Does he still believe these things?

Yes, he still believes everything. I talked to him a few months ago and he said he wouldn’t change anything that he said then.

Scientists predicted this would happen. And it did.

Curry and Mosher claim that UHI has no impact on rural vs. urban temperature trends. I put that to the test in New South Wales, with two of the longest temperature records in Australia.

Sydney Observatory is right next to 20 lanes of asphalt and has warmed almost 2C since 1860.

Forbes is a rural station and has cooled about one degree since the 1870’s.

This is the same pattern we see at all the old rural stations in Australia like Deniliquin, Bourke, etc. SE Australia has cooled since the 19th century.

Satellites show that Berkeley Earth land temperatures are diverging from atmospheric temperatures in a hockey stick. A smoking gun that Berkeley Earth is severely tainted by UHI.

The correct conclusion for Curry and Mosher to have drawn from their study is that their approach, including using the Modis night lights approach to identifying rural stations, is flawed – rather than their nonsensical conclusion that UHI hasn’t affected the temperature record.

Richard Muller, the fake skeptic who runs Berkeley Earth, wanted to prove that the hockey stick is correct.

Let me be clear. My own reading of the literature and study of paleoclimate suggests strongly that carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels will prove to be the greatest pollutant of human history. It is likely to have severe and detrimental effects on global climate. I would love to believe that the results of Mann et al. are correct, and that the last few years have been the warmest in a millennium.

According to official US gubermint records, Blue Hill Massachusetts received nearly three meters of snow on this day 70 years ago.

New York burns approximately 3,000,000,000,000,000 BTU’s of fuel every year, which averages out to about 100 billion watts over the course of the year.

Climate experts tell us that this increase of 100 billion watts of heat energy since the 19th century, has essentially no impact on the surface temperature readings. Real geniuses they are.

The human footprint is unmistakable. North America has never seen deep intrusions of cold air like this before.

I blame Fred Flintstone’s SUV.

This map highlights the difference between climate and weather. The western states are experiencing global warming, while the eastern states are having cold weather.

I’m so glad I’m in Maryland this weekend instead of Colorado. I feel safe from all of that intolerable Mann-made warm weather.

NOAA says temperatures are being adjusted upwards. This graph understates the amount of current tampering by more than 100%, but clearly shows the direction of the tampering.
