Real Climate Science

Very impressive performance by the US so far. If they can keep up this pace for 90 minutes, they will win. Dempsey and Bradley are right on the verge.

In 50 minutes, there will be hundreds of millions of people watching the US play Portugal – in a match which gives the US an opportunity to join the top flight of the soccer world.

And it would be great to see Dempsey show up Ronaldo.

The rise in CO2 over the past century (100 ppm) is equivalent to packing an extra five people into the Porto Alegre stadium, where the US will play Portugal this evening.

NCDC never publishes graphs of measured US temperatures. Here is why.

I work as a consultant, and I get paid for delivering what the client wants.

Climate scientists work as consultants to the government, who pays their contracts. Either they deliver what the government wants, or their funding gets cut off.

It is not a conspiracy.  Rather it is a simple business arrangement. Everyone who works in climate science understands it.

But their work certainly has nothing to do with either climate or science. They are propagandists on a $29 billion/year budget.

One of alarmists’ favorite lies is that “methane is 30 times worse than CO2”

This is complete BS. Methane’s absorption bands almost completely overlap with H2O, and methane concentrations in the atmosphere are very low.  CH4 quickly oxidizes and disappears from the atmosphere, so there can never be a lot of methane in a warm atmosphere with a large concentration of O2.

Methane contributes almost nothing to Earth’s greenhouse effect.

The new EPA regulations make the US completely dependent on fracking moving forwards.

Next on their agenda is to shut down fracking, which unlike CO2 represents an actual environmental hazard.

Junk Science Week: IPCC commissioned models to see if global warming would reach dangerous levels this century. Consensus is ‘no’

Even if you pile crazy assumption upon crazy assumption, you cannot even manage to make climate change cause minor damage

The debate over climate change is horribly polarized. From the way it is conducted, you would think that only two positions are possible: that the whole thing is a hoax or that catastrophe is inevitable. In fact there is room for lots of intermediate positions, including the view I hold, which is that man-made climate change is real but not likely to do much harm, let alone prove to be the greatest crisis facing humankind this century

Antarctic sea ice area is at an all-time record high for the date, and is increasing since 1979 at a rate of 52,000 Manhattans per century.

The NSIDC web site has links to articles citing the threat to penguins from declining sea ice in Antarctica.
