According to experts, 400 PPM CO2 controls the weather.

Hurricanes, tornadoes, and hot days are near record lows. Arctic sea ice is at a decadal high. The US is wetter than normal.

Apparently global warming makes the climate cooler and less extreme. All carbon polluters should get tax credits and reduced insurance premiums.

Ice was nearly as far away from Alaska 24 years ago as it is now. How did the Walruses survive?

Scientists announced this week that rapidly melting Arctic sea ice has beached tens of thousands of Walruses in Alaska. Apparently no one told them that the ice is closer to Alaska this year than it was in 1998.

Another smoking gun that USHCN adjustments are garbage, and inverted from reality.

The weather station at Fort Collins, CO is a classic study in UHI, yet NCDC adjusts Fort Collins temperatures by massively cooling the past – the exact opposite of what they should be doing.

In 1937, the station was located in the middle of a farm,

By 1950, the area was starting to get built up.

By 1969, the city had surrounded the weather station.

Now it is in the middle of a parking lot.

The Fort Collins trend massively diverges from nearby Boulder, CO. Fort Collins is warming rapidly, while Boulder is cooling. Homogenization should warm the past, not cool it.

What about TOBS? The Fort Collins temperature has always been read near sunrise, which adds an additional cold bias to the data. Every factor in the equation should cause the NCDC adjustments to warm the past, rather than cool it.

Because of TOBS, all older temperatures should be adjusted upwards, not downwards. And because of UHI, all recent temperatures should be adjusted increasingly downwards. The actual adjustments are exactly the opposite of what they should be – according to the USHCN documentation.

Global warming and the resultant melting of parts of the Arctic icecap have opened a new world of travel — a 900-mile, 32-day luxury cruise with fares starting at $20,000.

Crystal Cruises, one of the world’s top-rated cruise lines, has announced that one of its ships, the Crystal Serenety, will traverse the fabled Northwest Passage on this Pacific-to-Atlantic voyage, beginning from Seward, Alaska, through the north part of mainland Canada and the Arctic Ocean to New York City.

Other than the 300 miles of ice they have to traverse, what could possibly go wrong?

One year ago, crack scientists announced that Penguins were endangered by sea ice loss

29 Jun 2014

Emperor penguins should be classed as an endangered species because the majority of colonies will have lost half their populations by the end of the century, biologists have warned.

The flightless birds which inhabit Antarctica are threatened by changes to sea ice which are being driving by climate change.

Since then, Antarctic sea ice set an all-time record high

There has been a huge increase in the amount of the oldest thickest Arctic sea ice since 2011.

The legend on the maps below shows the age of the ice. Red represents ice five years and older.
