Real Climate Science

The US is having its coolest summer on record, after one of the coldest winters.

Heidi Cullen says we are burning up, and anyone who disagrees should be decertified.

James Hansen will likely go down as the most laughable scientist in history

That 1940’s blip, just has to go way.

The global warming hiatus is easy to understand.

It is much harder for NOAA to tamper with post 1979 global data, because we now have satellite data – which restricts the amount of cheating which they can do.

Through my entire life, every time a president got in serious trouble – he started a war.

Only exception was Nixon – and look where it got him.

Like in the US, temperatures have been falling in Greenland for over 80 years.

NASA knew about this until a couple of years ago, when they turned the cooling trend into a warming trend.

They accomplished this reversal, by cooling pre-1980 temperatures by about a degree.

There are two very important concepts here:

1. Colder weather is more extreme
2. The well documented US cooling trend from 1930 to the present, is not compatible with the hockey stick.

Hansen wrote this in 1999

Yet in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country (Figure 2). We caution that linear trends, as in Figure 2, can mask temporal detail. Indeed, Figure 1(b) indicates that the last 20 years have seen a slight warming in the U.S. Nevertheless, our analysis (Hansen et al., 1999a), summarized in Figures 1 and 2, makes clear that climate trends have been fundamentally different in the U.S. than in the world as a whole.

Even NASA/NOAA knew about it until a few years ago, when they decided to erase it.

In order to get rid of the 1940’s blip, NASA/NOAA cooled temperatures by more than 2C
