The US drought monitor shows North Texas in exceptional drought

This is quite impressive, considering that region isn’t experiencing any drought.

Arctic sea ice is growing very rapidly, and will almost certainly reach a decadal high in a few days. This will necessitate that government funded experts lie about the Arctic even more than they usually do.

“The turnout for the march included communists, anarchists, socialists, democrats, unions, feminists, children, etc,” Chu said

“College students are the first generation of humans affected by climate change and the last generation who can change it,“ Chu said

All of the frozen Greenland Vikings and extinct Anasazi will be thrilled to learn that they weren’t affected by climate change. Apparently Steinbeck isn’t on the college curriculum any more, either.

Climatologists examine the temperature trend over the past few weeks or years, and simply extrapolate it out 100 years.

In 1958 experts predicted an ice-free Arctic within a generation.

Eleven years later experts predicted a new ice age.

During the 1970’s climatologists were predicting a new ice age. Meteorologists said that climatologists had no idea what they were talking about.

Climatologists live off grant money, so their job is to make up scary stories to keep the money flowing.

Government climate scientists typically start their graphs in 1979 – the year of peak Arctic sea ice, which was up two million km² from 1974.

1979 was the coldest year on record in the eastern Arctic. By cherry picking 1979, they turn a long term cooling trend into a sharp warming trend.

1979 was also the coldest winter on record in the US

Scientists use 1979 satellite launches as an excuse, but there was plenty of other data available.

NASA announced a day or two ago that Arctic sea ice was “the sixth lowest on record”

What they meant by this is that Arctic sea ice is second highest of the past decade, and the minimum was up 60% from two years ago.

One of the things which makes alarmists stupid is that several climate monitoring satellites were launched in 1979 – the coldest year on record in the US and the much of the Arctic. Then these geniuses draw straight lines beginning in 1979, and come to idiotic conclusions which would fail a middle school science exam.

Last night WTOP said “upper 50’s downtown, and upper 40’s in outlying areas.”

We know that is impossible, because NCDC says that UHI is only 0.1ºF. NCDC couldn’t possibly be off by a factor of 100. The thermometers must be wrong.

Gavin and his crack team of scientists tell us that the decade prior to 1922 was the coldest on record.

The people who lived at the time reported something completely different.  Unheard of heat and disappearing Arctic glaciers.

1921 was the hottest year on record in Illinois.

One might come to the conclusion that NASA temperature data is propaganda, rather than science.
