Real Climate Science

Through May 11, this year is the coldest year on record in the US. The gap between 2014 and the next coldest is likely to widen over the next week.

6. Alaska is becoming unrecognizable.

Nowhere is global warming more stark than in our only Arctic state. Temperatures there have increased much more than the national average: 3 degrees Fahrenheit since 1949, or “double the rest of the country.” The state has the United States’ biggest and most dramatic glaciers—and it is losing them rapidly. Meanwhile, storms batter coasts that used to be insulated by now-vanished sea ice.

Every word of the above is utter BS. All of the warming in Alaska occurred in 1977, when the PDO shifted. Over the last decade, Alaska temperatures have plummeted. 2013 was one of the 10 coldest years on record in Alaska.

Last year the Tanana River had its latest breakup on record. The Bering Sea had the most ice ever recorded two years ago. And the Muir Glacier receded eight feet per day from the 1790s to the mid-18th century.

As usual, every single global warming “fact” is a gross distortion.

We have been inundated with rain and snow this month in Fort Collins, at least two to three inches of precipitation so far and everything is getting flooded. The official Fort Collins weather station at CSU shows zero precipitation for the month.

The green religion offers only guilt. You are wrecking the planet, and the only thing you can do is make token hopeless gestures with no chance of success, and no benchmarks to even measure success by.

After a while, the only recourse for adherents to this religion is to find someone else to blame and develop a righteous anger. Europeans did this in the 16th century, when 30,000 witches were burned at the stake for “cooking the weather.”

Now we see academics blaming the Koch Brothers, and climate skeptics in general for bad weather. Some academics are calling for the death penalty for climate skepticism. Exactly the same dark ages thought process as five hundred years ago, based on superstition, hatred and ignorance.

One can only assume that the high priests of the global warming religion are doing this on purpose. There isn’t any end game to pushing CO2 guilt, other than generating hatred against more rational people.

I have three machines I use to access GHCN data

Windows 7 – connected by Ethernet  600 Mbps
Mac – connected by Wifi 600 Mbps
Cheap Windows 8 laptop – connected by Wifi 1,500 Mbps

All connected to the same router.

Why is the Windows 8 box so much faster?

Now we have an entire army of progressives claiming that they can see the future.

Nobody has any idea what the weather will be like more than few days out, and anyone who says they do is lying.

In 2005, climate experts said Katrina was the new normal, and since 2005 the US hasn’t had any major hurricanes.

October to April temperatures were third coldest on record in the US, and coldest in 102 years.

Geithner: White House Wanted Me to Lie on Sunday Shows

Of course, Geithner would not have been the only official from the White House to have misled the American people on the Sunday talk shows. Susan Rice famously came under fire for blaming a terrorist attack on a YouTube video in appearances on the shows.
