Real Climate Science

One thing you can say for the climate scamsters, is that they are well organized. It is impressive watching them trying to keep the scam alive on a planet which isn’t cooperating.

A few examples.

1. The US is having one of its coldest years on record, so they are taking a two pronged approach
   1. Have NASA/NOAA/JMA jack up fake global warming numbers, to make recent months the hottest ever – of course ignoring more accurate satellite data which shows no warming for 18 years and temperatures close to the median in 2014. This gives pundits talking points like “Hottest May ever”
   2. Make up fake studies to blame US cold weather on global warming
2. Last year was one of the quietest years on record for Atlantic hurricanes. Not a problem – they simply made up fake statistics about the Philippines typhoon, which gave pundits a talking point.
3. Scientific consensus falling apart – no problem. They took care of that by having Kook and Nutter create a fake study showing 97% consensus. I remember being contacted by Kook at the start of that “study” and could sense his excitement. He must have gotten a lot of money for that particular fraud. Now the pundits have a talking point.
4. Not much extreme weather. Not a problem, just declare mild weather to be extreme. They did that during winter 2012, and are doing it again in summer 2014.

We see this over and over again. The constant generation of propaganda in an attempt to head off the inevitable collapse of their scam.

Scientific evidence about the rising of average global temperatures seems to be piling up.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, average global temperatures in April, May and June this year were the highest since the beginning of official records, in 1891.

The Japanese records, released on Monday, show that this year’s second quarter was about 0.68 degrees Celsius warmer than the average for the whole 20th century.

U.S. space agency NASA uses different method for calculating average temperature, but its records, released Monday, show almost identical results

Global Warming Reaches New Records

Climate experts said that global cooling caused deep dips in the jet stream in 1977, which in turn caused extreme weather.

Now, Nuttercelli says that global warming is producing deep dips in the jet stream in 2014, which is causing “extreme” weather.

Note the identical dip towards Florida caused by both global warming and global cooling.

Also note that Dana considers a nice cool summer day to be “extreme” weather.

Wisconsin is having their coldest year on record – by a wide margin.

One hundred degree readings were common in Wisconsin prior to 1940, but almost never happen any more.

One hundred degree readings in 1936 occurred seven times as frequently as this summer.

USHCN UHI adjustments are less than 0.1F – about 0.05C.

This is a complete joke, and the result of confirmation bias. The National Weather Service reports eight degrees UHI in Phoenix and four degrees in New York. On my bicycle I typically see 5-10 degrees UHI between open space and a nearby neighborhood.

The graph below shows US summer afternoon temperatures since 1895, sorted into two groups based on the time of day when their reading was taken on July 15, 1936.

The time of day data was taken from this 2008 archived USHCN metadata file, which has been deleted from the current USHCN web site.

Note that both sets of data show the same cooling trend since 1895, and that the 1936 morning recorded stations are cooling slightly faster than the afternoon recorded stations. This is the opposite of the assumptions made by USHCN in their TOBS “correction” – indicating that TOBS adjustment severely corrupts the US temperature record.

Last night I was remembering what I did when I was seven years old, I religiously recorded temperatures on my min/max thermometer and always did the right thing – I reset the maximum in the morning, and reset the minimum in the afternoon. Otherwise the data is tainted. This is the obvious way to avoid TOBS problems, and most likely what many station operators did. In fact you would have to be very stupid and irresponsible to not do something similar.

People have asked why the morning stations are warmer than the afternoon stations. My guess is that people in hotter climates are more motivated to report morning readings than people in cooler climates.

Here is the list of stations used for morning and afternoon readings.

A rare white-throated needletail bird was killed by a wind turbine in Scotland on June 26, as horrified birdwatchers looked on. This species, also known as the Needle-tailed swift or spine-tailed swift, is the fastest-flying bird in the world. It has only been seen eight times in the United Kingdom in the last 170 years. Two birdwatchers from Northumberland, England, the northernmost county on the island nation, first spotted the bird on June 24. It is believed that the animal likely came from Siberia.
