Real Climate Science

Graphs like this would be trivial to debunk if my analysis was incorrect. Go for it.

The number of temperature readings has increased over time, so that is not going to fly as an explanation for the decline.

We hear idiotic remarks all the time from experts like :

We are having 100 year rainfalls every year now

It is difficult to grasp the level of stupidity behind that remark. The odds of winning the lottery are 100 million to one. For any individual, it is a multi-million year event – yet it happens all the time.

Same story with rainfall. If you have 5,000 weather stations which have been keeping records for 100 years, odds are you will have fifty “100 year rainfalls” every year.

Most of the US is cooling dramatically, and has been for 80 years. That is why NCDC and NASA make their massive downwards adjustments of the past – to hide the decline in US temperatures.

Prior to 1950, 100 degree temperatures in the midwest were very common. They almost never happen any more.

Over the past 25 years, there has been no net change in Northern Hemisphere snow cover. The amount of snow in autumn and winter has increased, while spring and summer snow cover has decreased. Note that there has been a large increase in peak snow cover, but no change in the minimum.

Climate experts normally only discuss the months which show decreasing snow cover, because they aren’t actual scientists.

Scientists explain global warming in simple terms, which even us simple minded skeptics can understand.

Milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms

IPCC Third Assessment Report 

Warmer winters and fewer cold spells, because of climate change, will decrease cold-related mortality in many temperate countries.

IPCC – Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

• Global warming makes polar and lake ice disappear, makes winters mild, and made snow a thing of the past
• Global warming makes Antarctic ice cover expand
• Global warming makes winters very cold and snowy, and causes Great Lakes ice cover to expand to record levels.
• They predicted this all along

In 1975, America’s top climate scientist wanted to melt the Arctic, in order to save us from climate change.

Large-scale climate modification is a different story.

If, for example, someone really wanted to melt the polar ice cap, spreading a layer of black, heat-absorbing soot over the North Pole should do the trick very neatly in about three years, Schneider estimates.

What if we are entering a period of degenerating weather-even a new ice age?

By 1975, scientists had figured out that UHI was warming temperatures by 2-4 degrees

Science News, Vol. 107
March 1, 1975

Already man-made climate changes are clearly evident around cities. Buildings and pavement tend to store more heat than vegetation in the surrounding countryside, hence temperatures can range some 4.0 degrees higher in the summer and 2.0 degrees higher in the winter.

The NOAA UHI adjustment for 1975 is -0.09 degrees, less than 3% of the actual effect.

Are freezing winters CAUSED by global warming? | Mail Online

What they are saying is that Arctic air is too warm to freeze ice, but when it arrives in Minnesota it is -35C. Apparently the warm Arctic air must stop at Santa Claus’ refrigeration facility on its the way down to the US.

Lake Superior has increased water temperatures and an earlier onset of summer stratification by about two weeks in just the past 30 years. Within another 30 years Lake Superior may be mostly ice-free in a typical winter.

Lake Erie water levels, already below average, could drop 4-5 feet by the end of this century, significantly altering shoreline habitat.
