Real Climate Science

Science says that continents can’t move, because Wegener had no credentials, and because many scientists can’t admit they were wrong.

Before his time – Wegener’s hypothesis moved ahead of confirming evidence too fast. Many previously unrelated observations were combined into a large theoretical jump. This is contrary to the normal progressive, step-by-step development of science.

Youthful outsider – Wegener was a man of many talents, but he had no formal training in geology. Thus, he had no credentials. At the same time, he had no preconceived position to defend or prove. At the beginning of the 20th century, no scientist was recognized until at least age 40; Wegener was in his early thirties when he first proposed continental drift.

Scientific inertia – Geology could not remake itself overnight. There was natural resistance to change, to accepting radical new ideas. Geologists had vested interests in their work and were reluctant to admit past misinterpretations of fundamental significance.

History of geology—Wegener

“There are too many Republicans in Congress who even deny the basic scientific fact that climate change is occurring and something that policymakers should be concerned about,” said Earnest. “So the president will use his executive action to take some additional steps.”

The basic scientific fact is that the Democrats nearly got wiped off the map on Tuesday. Please keep up your idiotic behavior, Mr. President.

Greenland temperatures peaked 80 years ago, and have been declining for the past decade after a smaller spike from 1994 to 2004.

The large expansion of Eastern Arctic sea ice and record northern hemisphere snow cover, makes it quite clear that waters in the northern seas have sharply cooled. Feel free to ignore reality, if it suits you.

Progressives tell us that the election geography favored Republicans

Don’t let anybody tell you that these two factors, geography and turnout, weren’t a huge part of the story.

The “election geography” is what we normally call the USA.

Sea level is not rising on the west coast, but if it did – that would solve most of America’s problems. Bitter clingers shown in red below.

Bill McKibben says that colleges need to divest, and stop using fossil fuels. I agree – US colleges and universities should immediately turn off all fossil fuels, and teach their students an incredibly valuable life lesson.

Time Magazine says that James Inhofe  disagrees with science, because he disagrees with them. They believe that they own science.

Then they go on and say “Meet Jim Inhofe” and write a hit piece without actually interviewing or meeting him. Incredibly slimy and disgusting behavior by Time Magazine.

When they owned science 40 years ago, Time Magazine said we were headed into an ice age.

NCDC and NASA say that 2014 is the hottest year ever. They are lying.

Satellites show that this year is no where near the warmest, and temperatures are on an 17 year long downwards trend.

Arctic sea ice extent is at a 10 year high, and very close to the 1981-2010 average.

Antarctic sea ice extent is near a record high.

Northern Hemisphere snow cover is also near a record high.

None of the data is compatible with the claims of record heat by NASA and NCDC. They are committing fraud, and need to be investigated by Congress.
