Real Climate Science

Anyone who lives in a cold climate knows that a cloudy night will feel much warmer than a clear night at the same temperature. This is because of downwelling longwave radiation from the clouds – i.e. the Greenhouse Effect. H2O and CO2 do the same thing, to a lesser extent.

GHCN thermometer data shows Bathurst cooling 1.3C/century from 1910 to 1983, yet NASA shows Bathurst warming by 0.3C/century over that same period (using the same thermometer data.)

They accomplish this through an impressive hockey stick of data tampering.

I was interviewed by Doug Wagner at WMT in Cedar Rapids. Interview starts at minute 41. Doug did an excellent job and asked good questions.

Katherine Hayhoe demonstrates that she will say anything for attention.

This graph is important. I combined two stations in Bathurst to produce a complete record since the 1850s. The first station ASN00063004 (blue) stopped operating in 1983. The second station ASN00063005 (red) started operating in 1966. It is at a cooler location, so I added 0.7C on to the recent station temperatures, to normalize.

We can see that Bathurst has experienced the same warming as the rest of Australia since the 1960’s, but it is less than the cooling which occurred prior to the 1960’s.

[Updated] – it looks like the GHCN Nobby’s data is BS, and means that Sydney is experiencing UHI

The tide gauge at Nobbys Beach shows identical warming to Sydney, since it opened in 1957

The tide gauge at Nobbys shows sea level about the same as the late 1970’s

99.999% certainty humans are driving global warming: new study

Scientists are super-duper extra certain that humans are driving global warming, except for the fact that the globe isn’t warming.

‘Global warming has been on pause for 19 years’: Study reveals Earth’s temperature has remained almost CONSTANT since 1995

Global warming is causing all kinds of crazy stuff, ignoring the fact that it isn’t occurring.

Within four days there will be new ice forming near the pole, causing ice area to start increasing. Ice extent may not bottom quite as fast.

Bookmark this classic 1995 article in the Canberra Times. This guy had the entire scam nailed from day one.

To conclude that CO2 emissions are a threat to the environment would be doubtful and premature. Only a closer examination of the atmosphere over a long period and further detailed studies will decide the matter,” Barrett said in a recent scientific paper which caused frissons of anger among scientists.

Barrett, from Imperial College’s chemistry department, pours thinly veiled scorn on the arguments of the “warmers”, saying they are based on unreliable data, misunderstand the self-correcting nature of the earth’s atmosphere and represent science-by-committee. He says IPCC scientists based their theories on the fact that the earth’s temperature has increased by 0.8°C in the 20th century.

“This is within the expected margins of error for such a study,” he says. “A hard scientific view would be that there has been no discernible change in the earth’s temperature despite the significant increase of 25 per cent in the level of carbon dioxide. To blame the increase in carbon dioxide level for this alleged slight temperature increase seems to be a piece of poor scientific judgment that only a large committee could achieve.

“The lPCC’s reports do indicate that the conclusions are not unanimous but none of the doubters’ arguments is published. Proper science is not carried out by voting.”

The world’s climate had fluctuated naturally over the centuries. In Roman Britain, the climate was warm enough to allow grapes for red wine to be cultivated in the south.

“In the 20th century factors influencing the weather have been volcanic eruptions which put vast quantities of gas and dust into the atmosphere. Another factor is the variation in the strength of the sun depending on sun-spot cycles.

“And what the ‘warmers’ cast aside — the effect of variations in temperature in the oceans. Because if the oceans warm up by whatever means — maybe volcanic activity on the seabed, and there’s a lot of that — if the ocean warms up then CO2 will be less soluble forcing more of it out [into the atmo- sphere].

“The ‘warmers’ are possibly putting the cart before the horse. The sea warms up, then the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up; there’s a lag of about five months.”

Barrett points out with some glee that much of conventional opinion 15 years ago, using similar data, was predicting the earth was heading for a new ice age.

“Normally scientific argument is rigorous and open, but these fellas at the IPCC publish their own conclusions. It’s a hell of a gravy train this, I tell you, which is why they don’t like seeing any doubts expressed. There is scope here for argument; there are so many uncertainties. It’s OK for academics to talk about these things and argue bitterly, but it’s another to come to a premature decision that will cost governments a vast amount of money.”
