 In 1999, Hansen was concerned that the very high quality US temperature record showed 70 years of cooling, while his very low quality, cherry-picked, massively extrapolated global temperature record showed strong warming.

Whither U.S. Climate?
By James Hansen … August 1999

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.

How can the absence of clear climate change in the United States be reconciled with continued reports of record global temperature?

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).

It made no sense that the high quality US temperature record disagreed with his worthless global temperature graph, so Hansen did the obvious thing. He simply corrupted the US graph to match the crappy global data.

There has been no change in US July temperatures since 1895, and this past July was more than 3C cooler than July, 1901.

Green shows the 56% increase in Arctic sea ice extent since the same date in 2012. Red shows ice loss

As the breathtakingly ignorant deranged blogger in residence predicted, high pressure in the western Arctic has been compacting the ice thus and reducing extent. Red shows ice extent loss, and green shows ice extent gain.

Now compare (below) what happened during the same week in 2012, when a large cyclone broke up the thin ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi  Seas, and overturned the water down to a great depth. This event sharply cooled the deeper seawater, and opened the door for the large increase in ice which has occurred over the past two years.

Eighty years ago, the US was experiencing its worst drought in history. Eighty percent of the country was in drought, and tens of thousands of cattle were being shot to end their suffering.
