Real Climate Science

NOAA has reached new levels of fraud in their 2014 Arctic report card, with nearly every single talking point the exact opposite of reality.

What’s new in 2014?

Rising air and sea temperatures continue to trigger changes in the Arctic. The Arctic is warming at twice the rate of anywhere else on Earth.

Nonsense. The Arctic hasn’t warmed for a decade.

North of 80N, the melt season was the coldest on record, with below normal temperature every day

The warming Arctic atmosphere was strongly connected to lower latitudes in early 2014 causing cold air outbreaks into the eastern USA and warm air intrusions into Alaska and northern Europe.

Nonsense. In the 1970’s they blamed the identical pattern on excess Arctic ice and global cooling. There isn’t one smidgen of science behind the NOAA claim.

Snow cover extent in April 2014 in Eurasia was the lowest since 1967 and sea ice extent in September was the 6th lowest since 1979.

Mind-boggling levels of dishonesty. Fall/Winter Northern Hemisphere snow cover was at or near the highest on record.

President Obama committed China to a doubling of CO2 emissions, while agreeing to throttle the US economy with a 20% reduction. But why not go big like North Korea, which has already achieved an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions?

NCDC and NASA complain that the US temperature record is problematic, but this is complete BS. I tried splitting the 1200 HCN stations into two nearly evenly sized groups, those whose station number ends in 0-4 and those whose station number ends in 5-9. There is no overlap in the groups and group placement is for all intents and purposes random.

As you can see, they produce almost identical trends, indicating that the US surface temperature record is excellent, and adjustments are unnecessary and unwanted. Trying to adjust individual stations is scientific madness.

Scientists are making lots of news recently by blaming Antarctic ice shelf melting on your SUV.  Only problem is that this has been going on for centuries.

21 Jul 1932 – A Warmer World.

Facts generally don’t matter to climate scientists.

The Arctic warmed six degrees from 1900 to 1940, and the ice was the same thickness as today.

Claims that Arctic warming are “unprecedented” are made by the same fraudsters who rewrite the past.

It would be good to remove at least part of the 1940s blip, but we are still left with “why the blip”.

Like all temperature data sets, the past has been cooled at UAH, which creates the appearance of warming.

As of 1995, UAH closely matched NOAA radiosonde temperatures and showed no warming after 1979. The graph below is from the 1995 IPCC report

The thick line is UAH, and the thinner line is radiosonde. They were almost a perfect match, with zero warming.

The next graph is the current version of UAH vs. NOAA radiosonde. UAH now shows about 0.4C warming since 1979, about three times as much warming as the radiosonde data.

The next graph shows how the 1979-1995 UAH data has changed since 1995, turning a cooling trend into a warming trend.

UAH has also cooled the past in the US since their 2001 version, having cooled the very warm year of 1995 by almost 0.3C.  That year was the year without a winter in the US.

UAH US temperatures diverge sharply from measured US temperatures, warming about 0.3C more since 1979 than the raw surface data.

I don’t see any reason to believe any of the temperature data sets, except for the ones I can process myself from raw data. The US has seen no warming since 1920.

The fraudsters at The Guardian claim that this was Europe’s hottest year ever, due to “greenhouse gas emissions.”  Only problem is – it wasn’t hot this year in Europe.

Europe’s record hot year made at least 35 times more likely by climate change, say scientists | Environment | The Guardian

The average maximum temperature in France this summer was just above average, and the frequency of hot days was below average.

The morons at the Guardian live in Europe. They didn’t notice that it wasn’t hot? Perhaps they consider mild winter temperatures to be “hot.”

Instead of talking about the return to just below the post-1979 mean, they spin an event from last summer.

But it is much worse than it seems. NOAA claims that the satellite record began in 1979, but IPCC FAR and SAR said that NOAA has satellite data back to 1973 – when extent was much lower than 1979.

These dishonest government agencies are a cancer on our nation.
