Real Climate Science

In one corner, we had very organized and well scripted Democrats pushing mindless dishonest global warming propaganda. On the other side (with a few exceptions) we had clueless, disarmed Republicans mumbling incoherently against the EPA regulations.

The Democrats had numerous present and former EPA administrators verbally backing up their claims. The major claims were :

1. 97% of scientists agree that global warming is real, imminent and dangerous
2. Heatwaves are becoming more common
3. Severe weather is becoming more common and extreme
4. Sea level is rising due to global warming and threatens coastal regions

There isn’t one shred of evidence to support the idea that most scientists believe global warming is imminent and dangerous. The Democrats tack those words on to a completely benign (and obvious) finding that most scientists believe humans influence the climate. It is beyond my comprehension why Republicans repeatedly let them get away with that.

The EPA’s own data shows that heatwaves are not becoming more common in the US, and peaked 80 years ago.

Heat waves in the 1930s remain the most severe heat waves in the U.S. historical record (see Figure 1).

The Republicans could have discredited the EPA administrators by simply showing this graph, which is prominently displayed on the EPA web site.

Extreme weather is not becoming more common or more severe. Obama’s presidency has seen the fewest US hurricane strikes of any president since at least 1850. There have been three US hurricane strikes since Obama took office, compared to twenty-six while Grover Cleveland was president.

The last two years have had the lowest number of US tornadoes on record.

The frequency of severe tornadoes peaked forty years ago.

All US short term rainfall records were set a long time ago.

There isn’t one shred of legitimate evidence to back up the claim that the weather is becoming more extreme.

As far as sea level goes, it has been rising for 20,000 years, and is 400 feet higher now than it was when the first Americans walked across the Bering Strait from Asia.

More recent observations of sea level show that there is no human influence. Sea level on the East Coast (blue below) appears to have been rising at a steady rate since the start of measurements in 1850. It shows no acceleration as CO2 increased, indicating that there is no human influence on sea level.

On the west coast (red below) sea level rise rates are much lower, indicating that what is being observed on the East Coast is land sinking, rather than oceans rising.

None of the scary Democrat/EPA claims are backed by evidence, and are nothing more than carefully planned, well versed propaganda – yet the Republicans remain incapable of mounting a coherent response. If the Republicans were educated and organized, they would be able to shut this scam down in a matter of days.

Gerrard and Suarez weren’t enough to capture the EPL, but Gerrard’s brilliant pass to Suarez was adequate to knock out England in just five days.

I was listening to C-Span radio this morning, and there was a Democratic Congressman from New York complaining that the Iraq intelligence they were shown by the White House in 2002 was “all a big lie”

These are the same people who say that climate skeptics are conspiracy theorists – for not believing the fraudulent data orchestrated by the White House.

There is one big difference though – he voted for the Iraq invasion.

One Democrat after another is claiming that weather, droughts, heatwaves, etc are getting worse due to climate change. None of them present a single shred of evidence to back up their fake claims.

And of course no Republicans challenge them on it.

Update: Rep. Pompeo from Kansas was spot on with his questions. He asked the EPA administrator to list the specific climate benefits of the rule, and she couldn’t list a single one.

President Obama is teaching us that there are enough laws currently on the books to make all activities illegal by executive order, and enough judicial precedent to effectively nullify each individual section of the Bill of Rights.

In other words, all three branches of government are completely corrupted, and actively working together to destroy freedom in the US.

Al Gore demanded that the Arctic melt out this year, but the ice appears to be taking its orders from the Koch Brothers at the present time.

Another sell out to big tobacco, which threatens the future of the Arctic. The ice needs to be targeted by the patent commission, to force it to change its planet threatening ways.

In yesterday’s Senate EPW hearing, Democrats repeated over and over again that Mann-made CO2 is causing sea level to rise on the East Coast, and was going to drown us all.

So let’s try correlating actual sea level measurements vs. CO2. Manhattan and Atlantic City have the longest tide gauge records on the East Coast, and both showed that sea level rose much faster vs. CO2, when CO2 was below 315 PPM.

The reason for this is because there is no correlation between sea level and CO2. The apparent sea level rise is due to a linear subsidence of the land, rather than rise of the seas.

Beginning of new ice  age

NORWICH. England, Monday (AAP). –

A new ice age is beginning to creep over the northern hemisphere and during the rest of this century the weather will become progressively colder, a British climate expert says
