Real Climate Science

This Sunday, upwards of 100,000 people are expected to take to the streets of New York City in a worldwide climate protest that organizers say will be the largest and most diverse in history.

If these numbers prove correct, then the “People’s Climate March” will likely mark the moment when global warming transitions from being a science and policy issue into a full-fledged social movement. Perhaps it will become as large as the gay rights and civil rights movements. But even if it doesn’t, it could play a crucial part in changing the political environment on this seemingly intractable issue.

Sunday’s Climate Protest Could Be a Turning Point on Global Warming

Three weeks ago I spent Sunday evening tracking down a guy who lost his wallet in a crosswalk at Constitution Avenue between the Washington Monument and the White House – and tonight two ladies from Georgia found my wallet on a trail in Fort Collins, and brought it to me. It apparently fell out of my pocket while I was riding, and I didn’t even know it was missing.

Gavin says half of coastal Antarctica was super-duper hot last month, which explains why it is blowing away all records for the amount of sea ice.

a darkening of the Greenland ice sheet could impact upon the entire world, as the hastening trend reduces the Arctic’s ability to reflect sunlight and increases global warming.

The world’s leading expert on the ice that covers the huge expanse of Greenland has told The Independent that he was “stunned” to see how much darker it has become in the past year – warning it could start a hugely damaging “cascading feedback loop” of the area becoming blacker as less and less light is reflected.

When making fake data, always make sure it is consistently fake.

Gavin’s GISS data shows August 2011 at 0.69 anomaly, and August 2014 as 0.70 anomaly

Unfortunately for him, his maps show 2011 as 0.70 and 2014 as 0.68.

Gavin also might have wanted to cross check with some other people at NASA who showed August as second coldest of the last decade.

This scam makes Piltdown Mann look like legitimate science.

Contrary to the spectacular “hottest August ever” lies being propagated by NASA GISS and NOAA ahead of Obama’s climate conference – August was the coldest in five years and the second coldest in 10 years, according to far more accurate NASA satellite data.

For the ocean, the August global sea surface temperature was 0.65°C (1.17°F) above the 20th century average of 16.4°C (61.4°F). This record high departure from average not only beats the previous August record set in 2005 by 0.08°C (0.14°F), but also beats the previous all-time record set just two months ago in June 2014 by 0.03°C (0.05°F).

Complete bullshit. The oceans were much warmer in August 1998.

More of the southern oceans were below normal than were above normal in August, 2014.

Gavin says we are experiencing record heat due to very warm polar temperatures, which explains why global sea ice area is the highest since 1997, above normal and higher than 30 years ago.

When Hansen predicted 5 degrees warming in the US by 2020, what he meant was that 75% of the US would be below normal temperature by 2014.

Prior to 1950, freezing temperatures in Michigan during the first half of September were rare. Now they happen all the time.
