Gavin says this is the hottest year ever

Northern Hemisphere winter snow cover is at record levels, and autumn snow cover is also in a hockey stick over the past 35 years.

This year appears set to be the snowiest autumn on record

Gavin says this is the hottest year ever.

Bullshit, Gavin

The last six months were no where near the warmest. During the last six months we have seen record Antarctic sea ice extent, record springtime Great Lakes ice cover, record September snow cover and an 84% increase in Arctic sea ice volume over 2012. The US had a near record low number of hot days this summer.

I saw this coming about six months ago. It was obvious that someone had made the decision that NASA was going to make this the hottest year ever, and actual facts were irrelevant.

Five years ago, Nobel Laureate Al Gore predicted Hurricane Gonzalo in the cover photo of his book Al Gore’s Earth, and also predicted that it would circulate in a clockwise direction, making it the first ever clockwise cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere.

The most common misconception regarding Antarctic sea ice is that sea ice is increasing because it’s cooling around Antarctica. Goddard commits this error on several occasions. The reality is the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica has shown strong warming over the same period that sea ice has been increasing.

Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.

The scientists’ religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.

– Albert Einstein

Schoolchildren are taught that all of this incredible order in the universe, is the result of chaos and entropy.

Scientists say CO2 is the control knob, and the US is about to pass nine years without a major hurricane strike, the longest such period on record.

This is clearly your fault, and you should feel ashamed. That and the record low number of tornadoes, and the 10 year minimum in fire burn acreage. And the record Great Lakes ice. And the record Antarctic sea ice. And the 80% growth in Arctic sea ice volume. And the record snow cover. And the record low number of hot days in the Eastern US.

It is all your fault – for overheating the planet.

Another awesome piece from my hero, Bill Gray, whose funding was cut off in 1993 by VP Al Gore – over Bill’s refusal to participate in a Gore fear mongering activity.

Despite increasing amounts of CO2 gas in the atmosphere, mean global surface temperatures have not shown any increase over the past 18 years.

In addition:

• • Raw U.S. mean surface temperatures and daily high surface temperature records (without any tampering) have shown a weak decline since the warm 1930s period.

• Winter snow cover has been gradually increasing across the northern hemisphere in recent years.

Rising sea levels aren’t a scientific threat – it’s happening outside my window

I have always reassured myself that this coast where I live has looked the same ever since I first started coming to this area as a toddler. There are individual rocks on beaches that I have forever known to watch out for when I am catching a wave, sand spits and bays that have, for decades, seemed immutable.

But if Church and his colleagues are right the coastline itself and the first law of Australian real estate – an ocean view is gold – is about to be re-written.

So nothing has changed since he was a toddler, but he can see it changing in the future because some academic told him it will.

Green energy is easy to understand. Solyndra donates to Obama’s campaign, and in exchange they get $700 million of your greenbacks.
