Real Climate Science

NCDC published this amazing map today, which wildly inflates US January-July temperature rankings.

For now, I am going to focus on Colorado, which they show as 24th warmest. Colorado has actually been very close to the mean at 49th warmest.

NCDC shows a strong warming trend

In fact, there has been zero trend in Colorado. The trend line is identical to the mean line.

NCDC accomplished this through a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering, which cools the past by almost five degrees relative to the present.

You to admire NCDC’s hard work and devotion to corrupting the US temperature record, and making it completely meaningless scientifically.

Government experts tell us that the weather is getting hotter and more extreme, because it is their job to lie about the climate. Their job keeps getting tougher.

• The US is currently experiencing the longest stretch of years (almost 9) without a major (category 3-5) hurricane strike.
• US tornadoes have been record low, or near record low for the past three years
• Global temperatures have been flat for 18 years
• US temperatures (before data tampering) have been declining for 90 years
• Winter snow cover has been increasing across the northern hemisphere, to record levels over the past decade.
• The amount of old thick ice in the Arctic has nearly doubled over the past three years
• Antarctic sea ice is at record high levels
• The US is having one of the coldest years on record.
• Except for the west coast, the US is almost drought and fire free this summer.

According to NOAA, the US is experiencing a just below average temperature year – despite the fact that their own thermometer data shows 2014 as one of the coldest on record.

Here is another proxy which demonstrates that their claims are incorrect. The ratio of record daily minimums to record daily maximums in the US is the second highest since 1930. Only 1993 was higher, and that was due to volcanic dust from Mt. Pinatubo  blocking the sun.

With Antarctic ice growing at record rates for the past 35 years, climate experts tell us that Antarctica is melting down. Sea ice extent has been above normal every day for the past 990 days and is growing at a rate of two Manhattans per day.

Mark Serreze says I am breathtakingly ignorant. He also predicts the North Pole will be ice-free in 2008

Fri June 27, 2008   North Pole could be ice-free this summer, scientists say

The North Pole may be briefly ice-free by September as global warming melts away Arctic sea ice, according to scientists from the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado.

“We kind of have an informal betting pool going around in our center and that betting pool is ‘does the North Pole melt out this summer?’ and it may well,” said the center’s senior research scientist, Mark Serreze.

So far, August temperatures around DC are third coolest on record and the coolest in almost 70 years. The hottest August occurred in the year 1900.

NASA has altered their own data to hide the decline globally. The animation below shows changes to published NASA global temperature data from 1981 to the present.

Problem : Deranged teenager kills schoolchildren in Connecticut, as principal waits helplessly for someone with a gun to come save her and the children.

Conservative solution : Train the principal to use a semi-automatic rifle with a 40 round mag in her closet. One dead deranged teenager, lots of happy families opening Christmas presents in Connecticut. No propaganda value for people trying to destroy the US.

Progressive solution : Obama and Bloomberg work tirelessly to get hunters’ guns confiscated in the western US. Accomplishes nothing productive and doesn’t save any children – but victims are great for propaganda against the Bill of Rights.

When the big earthquake hits California, and all hell breaks lose, all the morons who gave up their 2nd Amendment rights are going to be begging for someone with a gun (and ammo) to come protect them.

This map is from Hansen’s 2001 paper, which has been deleted from the NASA web site.

It shows that US rural stations cooled -.05C from 1900 to 1999, and that urban stations were 0.31C warmer. The obvious conclusion being that the US is cooling, and needs to be cooled further to account for UHI.

So what does NASA and NOAA do? They adjust the other direction – by about 0.8C, to create a fake warming trend.
