There was almost no change in Arctic sea ice cover between August 24 and August 25. Red shows loss, green shows gain.
There are a series of cyclones forming over the ice, which will spread it. Temperatures have also dropped to well below freezing, so new ice will begin to form within a week.
Al Gore and John Kerry say that the Arctic will be ice-free this year.
Thermometers show a 60 year cycle US summer cooling and heating. Ten years of sharp cooling, followed by 50 years of gradual warming. The graph below shows two sharp cooling periods from 1895 to 1905, and again from 1950 to 1960. It also shows two warming periods from 1910 to 1950, and from 1960 to 2010.
The net temperature change over the period is zero. There has been no warming or cooling during US summers since the start of records in the 1890s. The 1930’s were by far the hottest decade.
But NOAA isn’t interested in the actual temperature record. Their purpose is convince people the planet is warming. So they “adjust” the temperature data (red line below) to create the appearance of a non-existent warming.
In doing so, they lose all of the useful information about US climate. The incredibly hot Dust Bowl becomes cooler than the cool present, and the only thing people are supposed to notice is that summers are getting hotter.
They accomplish this through a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering – shown below.
But it is much worse than it seems. Daily average temperatures are strongly affected by UHI. If we look only at maximum temperatures, it becomes obvious that US summers are on a long term cooling trend, and are currently among the coolest on record.
Here in Maryland, it probably is the coolest on record. We did not have a summer this year. A late spring, which has transitioned directly to autumn.
The NCDC adjustments destroy all meaning of the temperature record, and are used to produce political documents, not scientific ones.
This graph of US summer temperatures is a stunner. The most obvious feature is the incredibly hot 1930’s, which NASA and NOAA are working very hard to erase.
But beyond that, what catches my attention are the 50 year cycles of warming, followed by a decade of very sharp cooling. If the pattern holds true, we can expect to see a sharp decline in US temperatures over the next decade.
In the 1950’s the US averaged about one major hurricane strike per year. Now we average zero per year.
Climate experts told us that global warming would cause the US to be devastated by hurricanes.
US hurricane strikes peaked in the 1880’s, are down 29% since the 1870’s and currently the lowest on record.
[There was an error in the original graph which showed hurricanes down 23%. They are actually down 29%]

Rumor has it that I predicted last year that the Northwest Passage would not open this year.
No NW Passage in 2014 – TO MUCH ICE FORECAST – CANADA TO PUT ICEBREAKERS INTO SERVICE?
Looks like some creative editing, because I didn’t actually say anything like that. That isn’t even my writing style. This is what I actually wrote.
Anyway, my imaginary forecast which I didn’t make appears to have turned out to be correct. The ice is not going to melt
What ya going to do BAD BOY? Go or Wait? THE DECISION IS AGONIZINGLY HARD!

Nobel Laureate Al Gore predicted the Arctic would be ice-free this summer. He only missed by the area of Europe and California combined.
President Grover Cleveland dedicated the Washington Monument in 1888 to celebrate the father of our country. It was the world’s tallest building at the time, and an unbelievable engineering feat.
First thing Obama did as president, was go on a global apology tour.
Lincoln said :
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth
Obama said :
I have a pen and a phone
I am president. I can do whatever I want
I don’t have time to debate the flat earth society
(Americans are) bitter people who cling to guns and religion
Arctic sea ice area will flat line in a few days, and is very close to the minimum for the summer.
