Real Climate Science

Heatwaves in the Midwest were much longer prior to 1960, with the five longest heatwaves occurring below 350 PPM CO2.

What is the voltage at points A, B and C?

What did adding R2 do to the potential energy level at point B?

Highly paid experts tell us that sea ice is rapidly disappearing, which explains why global sea ice area has been averaging above normal for the past two years.

On November 15, 1955 – all of the stations shown below recorded below zero (F) temperatures. Similar to the current pattern.

There was also widespread snowfall in the west that day

Last week I said that Obama’s failure to control the dialogue on the Internet would cause him to try to take it over.

This week he is doing that, and once again the sheep are falling for his BS – thinking he is doing it for their own good. The Internet has been wildly successful, exactly because it wasn’t under government control.

Everything Obama does is about power and his imaginary legacy.

Experts say the polar vortex is caused by global warming and disappearing ice, but forty years ago they said it was caused by global cooling and expanding ice.

Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry, high-altitude polar winds —the so-called circumpolar vortex—that sweep from west to east around the top and bottom of the world. Indeed it is the widening of this cap of cold air that is the immediate cause of Africa’s drought. By blocking moisture-bearing equatorial winds and preventing them from bringing rainfall to the parched sub-Sahara region, as well as other drought-ridden areas stretching all the way from Central America to the Middle East and India, the polar winds have in effect caused the Sahara and other deserts to reach farther to the south. Paradoxically, the same vortex has created quite different weather quirks in the U.S. and other temperate zones. As the winds swirl around the globe, their southerly portions undulate like the bottom of a skirt. Cold air is pulled down across the Western U.S. and warm air is swept up to the Northeast. The collision of air masses of widely differing temperatures and humidity can create violent storms—the Midwest’s recent rash of disastrous tornadoes, for example.

Global warming will SPEED UP after a pause, scientists warn: Climate temperature could rise faster than expected

University of Washington and MIT scientists say Earth’s warming will pause

It has been paused for 18 years, but these geniuses are just now figuring it out.

But it will then undergo a rapid rise due to the amount of emitted CO2

They predicted a rapid rise 18 years ago.

As the icecaps melt, more high-energy solar rays will be absorbed, which means that climate change will continue unabated

Global sea ice area hasn’t changed for 35 years.

Earth will experience a switch from long-wave to short-wave radiation

That would require about 10,000 degrees warming – within the range of Hansen’s high end forecasts.

Global warming will SPEED UP after a pause, scientists warn | Daily Mail Online

GLOBAL warming could be making parts of the world colder. Yes, you read that right. Here’s why this is not a crazy thing to say.

There’s a strong outbreak of cold weather across parts of the United States this week. It’s similar in some ways to last year’s so-called polar vortex — that conveyor belt of frigid Arctic air which parked itself on top of large parts of the United States, bringing bitter cold for days.

The air in the Arctic is very cold!

Time magazine did a fair job of explaining all that earlier this year. We paraphrase a little here, but here’s how their theory works in regards to the polar vortex:

1. Sea ice is vanishing from the Arctic, which leaves behind dark open ocean water.

2. That water absorbs more of the heat from the sun than reflective ice.

3. Relatively warmer water is the main reason the Arctic is warming much faster than the rest of the planet.

The air in the Arctic is warm, and melting the ice!

4. As the temperature difference between the polar north and more temperate latitudes diminishes, a band of high-level strong winds called the “jet stream” weakens.

5. For want of a more technical description, the jet stream kind of holds all the weather systems in place. Most of the time it keeps the cold stuff north and the warm stuff south.

6. But a weakened jet stream can develop what Time calls “kinks”. Time reported that an unusually large kink in the jet stream was what allowed all that Arctic air to flow much further south than normal during the polar vortex.

The air in the Arctic is very cold!

Climate change: Is global warming making some places colder?

So the Arctic is warm and the ice is melting, but then the warm Arctic air comes south, becomes super cold and forms record ice on the Great Lakes.

It is mind-boggling to me that any human could be this stupid, and still find their way out of the house in the morning.

GHCN has daily temperatures for the capital of Greenland going back to 1958. They show essentially no warming during that time.

But that just wasn’t going to work for Tom and Gavin, so they changed the data to turn no warming into 3 degrees warming per century.
