Real Climate Science

The US has been cooling for the past century. This doesn’t fit the global warming narrative, so NOAA is applying a spectacular hockey stick of adjustments to turn a cooling trend into a warming trend. Since 1997, they are trying to hide the decline in temperatures by adjusting measured temperatures upwards at a very impressive rate of 3.6 degrees per century.

Temperatures have been below normal in 75% the US since October 1, 2013, with the average departure being -1.29 degrees.

But it is worse than it seems. Most of the 25% percent above normal has been barely above normal, while the 75% below normal has been generally much below normal. The next graph shows percentage area weighted by the deviation.

It isn’t warming up, either. 75% of the US has also been below normal temperature this month.

Some years, 70% of North Carolina August temperatures are over 90 degrees. This year it is only 3%.

Al Gore predicted an ice free Arctic in 2014. He was close, and it appears that he will only miss by a little more than the area  of Antarctica

On a hot day in 1988, Hansen told this to the US Congress

His Bold Statement Transforms the Debate On Greenhouse Effect

By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD

Published: August 23, 1988

He held up one die representing the climate for the period 1950-1980. Two sides were white for an average summer, and two other sides were blue for colder-than-average summers. The other two sides were red for hotter-than-average summers. Thus, on a roll of the die for that period, there were two chances in six of having a hot summer at any given location in the country.

Then Dr. Hansen picked up the die for the 1990’s and explained:

”If our climate model calculations are approximately correct, the greenhouse warming in the 1990’s will be sufficient to shift the probabilities such that the chance of a hot summer in most of the country will be in the range of 55 to 80 percent. Four sides of the die are red. I believe it is obvious that the man in the street will notice that by then the dice are loaded. There will be more hot summers than normal, and the hottest ones will be hotter than they used to be.” 

His forecast couldn’t possibly have done any worse. He gave it during the hottest summer on record in DC, and this year has been second coolest

So far this year, less than 2.5% of days in Maryland have been over 90 degrees, which is the second lowest on record. Compare to the peak year of 1988, when over 19% of days through August 11 were over 90 degrees.

For the entire US, the frequency of 90 degree days has plummeted, and is near record lows

NCDC has turned Maryland’s sixth coldest January-July into the 36th coldest, through a spectacular hockey stick of adjustments.

The measured data before tampering looks like this  – sixth coldest since 1895.

The graph below shows how they accomplished this feat, by cooling the past almost three degrees relative to the present. Particularly impressive is the hockey stick of tampering which has occurred over the past two years, adding almost a full degree on to measured temperatures.

Hillary Clinton is now trying to distance herself from the disastrous presidency of Barack Obama – which she was a key enabler of.

She is hoping to make herself more popular by piling disloyalty on top of dishonesty and incompetence as her political assets.

Six months ago, the Secretary of State announced that 0.0001 mole fraction Mann-made CO2 was the greatest threat, ever.

Secretary of State John Kerry called on all nations to respond to “the greatest challenge of our generation.”
Kerry, speaking before college students in Jakarta, Indonesia, also criticized climate-change deniers, saying “a few loud interest groups” shouldn’t be given the chance to misdirect the conversation.
Kerry reiterated U.S. President Barack Obama’s assertion in the State of the Union address that climate change is an undeniable fact.

Six months later, US foreign policy is in complete meltdown, because the US elected a totally disconnected sociopath, and he appointed an even bigger moron to be the Secretary of State.

In 1975, climatologists were trying to warn politicians to take action against global cooling. Foolishly, the politicians turned a deaf ear, and refused to take even simple remedial steps like melting the Arctic with black soot.
