Little Ice Loss Over The Past Five Days

The Arctic melt season will be starting to wind down in the next three weeks, and there is very little going on.

Red shows ice extent loss over the past five days, and green shows gain.

Here is the same map for 2007, showing ice loss from July 10 through July 15.

The Mid-Troposphere Cold Spot

Satellite temperatures should be warming faster than surface temperatures, but they aren’t according to Berserkley Earth. Quite the opposite.

There were various theories floating around today about land only, RSS/UAH etc. The graph below should clear them up.

Berkeley Earth is diverging from UAH land temperatures at 1.8C/century, and from RSS land at 3.0C/century. Their data does not correlate with more accurate satellite data, and needs to be tossed in the dust bin of junk science.

It Isn’t About Science

When confronted with the major issues I have presented, the Berkeley Earth, NASA and NOAA people demonstrate that their only interest is producing graphs showing warming while maintaining some appearance of plausible deniability.

Actual scientists would want to understand why their data radically diverges from satellite data and a host of other proxies.

Latest Polar Bear Drowning Pictures

Alaskan Bears are having to wade through several feet of shallow puddles to get to the ice, causing thousands of premature drownings.

Gun Grabbing Cuomo Embarasses Himself Again

You can’t make up stupid and arrogant like Democratic politicians.

Syracuse, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters last week that the rare deadly tornado that struck Madison County on July 8 was part of a “new normal” of extreme weather.

“We don’t get tornadoes in New York, right? Anyone will tell you that,” Cuomo said at a news conference July 8 in Smithfield, where the tornado struck. “Well, we do now.”

In fact, we always have.

Since the federal government started keeping a tally in 1950, New York has had at least 417 tornadoes. That’s an average of seven per year.

“For him to say we don’t get tornadoes in New York was incorrect,” said Scott Steiger, a SUNY Oswego meteorology professor. “He didn’t do his homework. Severe weather has happened in New York for a long time.”

Cuomo says ‘we don’t get tornadoes’ in NY, but we’ve had at least 417 | syracuse.com

Criticizing Democrats Is Now A Hate Crime

On WTOP this morning and they said that someone spray painted “No undocumented Democrats” on a building where Obama wanted to house future illegal Democratic voters, and it was being investigated by DOJ as a hate crime.

The Muller/Mosher Hockey Stick

Richard Muller mis-represented himself to the Koch Brothers, took money from them to create a temperature record, and hired a non-scientist to be his chief scientist. (Update : Zeke says Mosher is not the chief scientist.)

Since the global warming pause started, Berserkley Earth has been diverging from satellite data at 3.3C/century.

Muller was always a wild-eyed alarmist.

By Richard Muller on December 17, 2003

Let me be clear. My own reading of the literature and study of paleoclimate suggests strongly that carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels will prove to be the greatest pollutant of human history. It is likely to have severe and detrimental effects on global climate. I would love to believe that the results of Mann et al. are correct, and that the last few years have been the warmest in a millennium.

“It is ironic if some people treat me as a traitor, since I was never a skeptic

Richard Muller, Climate Researcher, Navigates The Volatile Line Between Science And Skepticism

Less than a year after announcing that he was never a skeptic, he announced that he was a converted skeptic.

Arctic Sea Ice Extent Continues To Track 2006

Arctic sea ice is following a very similar track as 2006, which had the highest summer minimum of the past decade. Note that there has been almost no change in extent over the last three days.

Rand Paul Explains Obama’s Imminent Plan To Destroy The Bill of Rights

Dear Fellow Patriot,

Anti-gun statists around the globe believe they have it made.

The United Nations is done with its dirty work finalizing the details of their so-called “Small Arms Treaty.”

With the full backing of the Obama administration for this outrageous anti-gun scheme from day one, time is running out until an all-out Senate ratification showdown on the U.N. “Small Arms Treaty.”

If you and I are going to beat this Treaty, we simply must fight back NOW before it’s too late.

I’m doing everything I can to help expose the TRUTH about this radical scheme.

But today I’m asking you to join me by taking a public stand against the U.N. “Small Arms Treaty” by signing the Official Firearms Sovereignty Survey right away.

With the national media still pushing anti-gun propaganda after the horrific tragedy in Connecticut, President Obama and his anti-Second Amendment pals believe the timing has never been better to ram through the U.N.’s global gun control crown jewel.

Reading through the details of the Treaty, it’s hard to see how our Second Amendment could survive such an assault.


In fact, Article V of the Treaty mandates countries establish a “National Control List” — or NATIONAL GUN REGISTRATION database!

You and I both know gun registration is just the first step toward outright CONFISCATION.
