CO2 has increased by 10% over the last 18 years, with no warming. This complete lack of correlation has convinced climate experts that CO2 is even more dangerous than they previously believed.

President Obama couldn’t be bothered to rescue Americans from YouTube protesters in Benghazi, but he suddenly felt an urge to have five Taliban commanders released – and didn’t have time to discuss it with Congress.
Susan E. Rice, the president’s national security adviser, spoke a day after years of fitful negotiations had finally yielded the release in Afghanistan of the prisoner, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. The deal, brokered with Qatari help, also freed five high-level Taliban members from the prison camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
The release of the Taliban officials was sharply assailed by Republicans, including Representative Mike Rogers of Michigan, chairman of the intelligence committee, as a dangerous transgression of longstanding policy against negotiating with terror groups.

This is NOT the first time the Great Lakes had summer ice. It also happened a few years back.
Here is what the NFL’s 249th draft pick has to say about it.
The Great Lakes have summer ice for the first time in the modern record, and CNN and MSNBC simply forgot to mention it. Must be dementia.
I was out walking the dogs during a spectacular afternoon here in Maryland, and thinking about how incredibly corrupted the US temperature record is.
In the USHCN V1 docs, they show that TOBS (Time of Observation Bias) adjustments go flat after 1990.
The USHCN V2 docs say that they use the same TOBS algorithm as V1, but their TOBS adjustment goes up exponentially after 1990. The same algorithm now produces warming, where it used to produce none. Junk science at its worst.
This net effect is about the same as that of the TOB adjustments in the HCN version 1 temperature data (Hansen et al. 2001), which is to be expected since the same TOB-adjustment method is used in both versions.

But it gets worse. Now we find out that they have actually lost 30% of their station data since 1990.
How do you calculate TOBS on an observation which doesn’t exist?
Note in the graph above that 1990 was the year when they started rapidly losing station data. It was shortly after that when their divergence from measured data started increasing exponentially.
What this indicates is that their FILNET algorithm (used to generate non-existent data) is introducing a huge fake warming bias into the temperature set. It allows them to multiply bogus TOBS adjustments, by propagating them into into fake station data.
Nobel Laureate Al Gore said there was a 75% chance the Arctic would be ice-free in 2014, but apparently he was actually referring to Michigan.
Another hockey stick. Coincident with the hockey stick of USHCN temperature adjustments, is a hockey stick of data fabrication. More than 40% of USHCN final station data is now generated from stations which have no thermometer data.
The graph below is generated by counting the number of reported monthly temperatures in the final and raw data sets. The have lost 30% of their station data since 1990, but still report adjusted temperatures for the missing data.

All US warming over the last 90 years is the result of data tampering by US government employees. The thermometer data USHCN uses shows that the US warmer in the 1930s, but they alter the data to create the appearance of warming.

In order to create the appearance of warming, NOAA does a hockey stick of data tampering – which implies that temperature recording methods are getting worse over time.
I’ve been around for almost 60 years, and the climate is just like it was 60 years ago.
It is cold and snowy in the winter, and hot in the summer. We have tornadoes in the spring and summer, and hurricanes in the summer and fall. Nothing has changed.
Sometimes it floods, sometimes it is dry. Climate change is a huge, mindless mass delusion, and always has been.
