Pause Over Within 10 Years Says NASA’s Schmidt

The number of 100 degree days at Sydney peaked in 1926, and has been declining since 1980

I forecast that Barack Obama will use Gavin’s fake “hottest year ever” in his SOTU address tomorrow evening, as part of the President’s ongoing efforts to seize control of the US energy sector.

Global Warming: The Most Dishonest Year on Record

I will be watching Liverpool-Chelsea and then American Sniper, as I have already heard enough Obama lies for a thousand lifetimes.

Hansen says UHI is 0.1 degrees.

Hansen and Lebedeff (1987) estimate that urban effects cause a warming of about 0.1°C/century on global average

Every night the weather forecaster says “and a few degrees cooler in outlying areas”  – typically 20 to 40 times larger than Hansen claims.

So what does UHI look like at an actual station? Midsummer temperatures in Sydney show a very strong UHI signature. Maximum temperatures have declined over the past 150 years, while minimum temperatures have risen sharply.

 This probably has something to do with being located adjacent to 20 lanes of asphalt.

The experts adjust for other factors very aggressively, but the one thing they should be adjusting for – UHI – they simply write off.

In Saudi Arabia, you get 1,000 lashes and jail time for blogging against the official line of propaganda. Jim Hunt has proposed that skeptics be jailed in the United States.

Jim says my forecast of 2014 Arctic ice extent close to 2006 was incorrect.

Republicans are trying to find solutions of their own to climate change instead of just attacking President Obama’s environmental policies, but the party hasn’t been able to agree on specific plans or policies.

Now in control of Congress, some Republicans are beginning to think that simply throwing bombs at the Environmental Protection Agency and Obama’s regulations won’t work any longer, staffers on Capitol Hill say. Instead, they believe they must develop their own ideas on how to combat climate change, especially to help moderate GOP senators up for re-election in 2016. Nine Senate Republicans are on the ballot in states Obama carried at least once, and House districts that were safe in midterm races likely will be tighter in the general election.

That strategy worked really well for Newt.

This explains why they want carbon taxes, which will help the rich and devastate the poor.

ice extent stays on the long-term downward trajectory that will eventually lead to seasonally ice free conditions as the Arctic continues to warm in response to rising atmospheric concentrations of Greenhouse gases.

December ends, 2014 in review

Besides the fact that they don’t present any evidence tying greenhouse gases to Arctic ice extent, their graph of historical data doesn’t match the historical record. NSIDC shows very little ice loss prior to 1940, but scientists at the time reported that the ice had lost one third of its area and half its thickness. Obviously this loss was not due to rising greenhouse gases, making NSIDC’s bogus graph even more misleading.

They can’t explain the pre-1940 warming and ice loss, and don’t even acknowledge that it happened. Junk science at its worst.  NASA gave them a boost in this propaganda effort by making the 1940 Arctic warmth disappear.
