Check out the latest stupidity from Baltimore Magazine

 The Sea Also Rises – Baltimore magazine

Sea level at Baltimore, like the rest of the Northeastern US appears to have been rising at a fairly steady rate for well over a century. There has been no acceleration, and the fastest apparent rise rate occurred prior to 1950. In fact, almost all of the apparent sea level rise is due to land subsidence.

Baltimore sea level is rising at about the same rate as it was in 1910, when global temperatures were supposedly cold and falling. Obviously what is happening in Baltimore has nothing to do with global warming.

Sea level in California isn’t rising at all. Obviously what is happening at Baltimore is not a global event.

There isn’t one shred of evidence linking rising sea levels in Maryland to “global warming” yet the author writes page after page based on that thesis. These people make Monty Python witch burners look like serious scientists.

If you plot a linear trend on a cyclical function, you are guaranteed to make a complete jackass out of yourself.

This stupidity is the standard technique of peer-reviewed climate science.

Contrary to the BS from BOM, Australia is not warming, and their hottest recent year was 1998

I picked ten random locations around Australia, and averaged the RSS TLT monthly anomalies for those locations. There has been no net warming for 35 years, and the last two years were not their hottest.

Click on the map below to see the latitude/longitude of the ten locations.

The National Climatic Data Center has broken last year’s record for misleading the public about US temperatures. The thermometer data they use shows no warming over the past 90 years, and that 2013/2014 were two of the coldest years on record in the US. But after data tampering, they report a sharp US warming trend. The animation below flashes between the average measured and final temperature at all stations.

The total amount of tampering reached record levels in 2014, at almost 1.8 degrees F. They create the appearance of warming by cooling all years prior to 2003, and warming all years since that date.

Another spectacular milestone is that the now fabricate 30% of their monthly data. Almost one third of their reported monthly station data has no actual thermometer data from that station. This allows them to contaminate missing rural data, with UHI affected thermometers tens or hundreds of miles away.

The physical basis of their tampering appears to be the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. The correlation between tampering and atmospheric CO2 is almost perfect.

It appears that they have a tampering algorithm designed to force reported temperatures to match hopelessly broken global warming theory. NCDC says that the algorithm is “working as designed.”

The average US daily maximum temperature during 2013/2014, was the lowest of any two year period on record. The peak occurred 80 years ago.

“Anybody who tells you we can drill our way out of this problem doesn’t know what they’re talking about, or just isn’t telling you the truth,” he said to whoops from the crowd of nearly 1,500.

Mr. Obama’s remarks, tinged with humor and sarcasm, were bluntly political, on a trip that included fund-raising events in Miami and Orlando. But his message was sober: neither he nor anyone else can do much about oil prices, which he said were likely to keep rising.

Last winter in the Midwest was second coldest on record, just a hair behind 1979. Temperatures averaged a mind boggling 15F colder last winter than they did in 1932 – which was the only midwest winter that averaged above freezing.

Government climate scientists will of course lie about this and alter their own data for as a long as they can get away with it. Their jobs depend on a continuous flow of misinformation.

Last year recorded the smallest percent of stations to reach 90 degrees in US history. Only 84% of US HCN stations reached 90 degrees.  This was the first year when more than 15% of stations failed to reach 90 degrees any time during the year.

Compare to 1931, when less than 2% of US stations failed to reached 90 degrees. This metric is compiled from the same data set NCDC uses, and is not affected by time of observation issues.

The percent of daily readings above 90 degrees was also near a record low.

And it wasn’t just summer that was cool. Before NCDC data tampering, last winter was the 10th coldest on record, and coldest in 35 years.

NCDC says that 2014 was the hottest year ever.

The combination of rising electricity prices and plummeting oil prices has finished off the fake green energy market. I saw gasoline for $1.79/gallon in Albuquerque yesterday.

It is cheaper to drive a gasoline powered vehicle than a useless electric vehicle.
