Real Climate Science

Just had an enlightening dinner with Bill Gray. An hour with Bill is more educational than a lifetime of reading global warming research.

Bill explained tonight that the recent spell of ice ages (~3 million years ago) coincided with the closing of the isthmus of Panama. This isolated the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and created the current pattern of regular glacial episodes. The Atlantic now goes through warm episodes of surface evaporation and buildup of dense saline water at the surface, followed by cold periods where the dense saline water sinks and brings up cold water from depth.

Prior to the closing of the isthmus, the Pacific and Atlantic waters mixed and remained a more even and warmer temperature.

Always a pleasure to hear a climate theory which actually seems plausible.

This was what the founding fathers intended. Instead we got a wannabee dictator with a pen and a phone

Section 1. That all men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.

Section 2. That all power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the people; that magistrates are their trustees and servants and at all times amenable to them.

Section 7. That all power of suspending laws, or the execution of laws, by any authority, without consent of the representatives of the people, is injurious to their rights and ought not to be exercised.

Section 10. That general warrants, whereby an officer or messenger may be commanded to search suspected places without evidence of a fact committed, or to seize any person or persons not named, or whose offense is not particularly described and supported by evidence, are grievous and oppressive and ought not to be granted.

Section 12. That the freedom of the press is one of the great bulwarks of liberty, and can never be restrained but by despotic governments.

Section 13. That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.

Forty years ago was the peak of the ice age scare, and the lakes were almost ice-free on this date

Any political party which would consider nominating another Bush, Clinton or Obama – would have to be completely brain dead and devoid of any ideas.

The US is $17.5 trillion in debt, almost all of it accumulated since 1990, and nearly half of it accumulated since Obama was elected.

On July 4, 1956 Unionville, Maryland received 1.23 inches of rain in one minute. The world’s record.

Moscow revives Red Square May Day parade

MOSCOW – Tens of thousands of Russians marched through Red Square on Thursday as part of May Day celebrations in the first such display of Soviet-era-like ceremony since 1991 – the year the Communist Soviet Union dissolved.

Forty years ago, global cooling caused record rainfall

In Africa, drought continues for the sixth consecutive year, adding terribly to the toll of famine victims. During 1972 record rains in parts of the U.S., Pakistan and Japan caused some of the worst flooding in centuries. In Canada’s wheat belt, a particularly chilly and rainy spring has delayed planting and may well bring a disappointingly small harvest. Rainy Britain, on the other hand, has suffered from uncharacteristic dry spells the past few springs. A series of unusually cold winters has gripped the American Far West, while New England and northern Europe have recently experienced the mildest winters within anyone’s recollection.

As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age.

Heavy rain is now caused by global warming

Twitter / ClimateOpp: 5″ in 24 hours at NYC – get …

There is no indication that heavy rainfall events are increasing. Every global and US short term rainfall record was set below 350 PPM CO2. Alarmists have no idea what they are talking about. They just make things up to scare people.

Climate experts say that spring snow cover is on the decline. As usual, they have no idea what they are talking about. Five of the last seven years have been above normal for week 13 North American snow cover.

Antarctic sea ice has been growing rapidly over the last 30 years, because Antarctica is getting colder.
