Real Climate Science

After suffering through the most boring Champions League semi-finals week in history, now Gerrard screws up at Anfield.

Perhaps my Man City prediction wasn’t so stupid after all.

During the low CO2 summer of 1954, half of the US was in moderate to extreme drought and New England was hit by two major hurricanes in ten days. If this happened now, US climate experts would demand immediate world communism to save the planet.

AFP: Next climate warming report will be dramatically worse: UN

Obama promised to take politics out of science. What he meant by that was that he planned to make science 100% political, and remove all science from science.

Prof Stavins told The Mail on Sunday yesterday that he had been especially concerned by what happened at a special ‘contact group’. He was one of only two scientists present, surrounded by ‘45 or 50’ government officials.

He said almost all of them made clear that ‘any text that was considered inconsistent with their interests and positions in multilateral negotiations was treated as unacceptable.’

Top climate expert’s sensational claim of government meddling in crucial UN report

A top US academic has dramatically revealed how government officials forced him to change a hugely influential scientific report on climate change to suit their own interests.

Harvard professor Robert Stavins electrified the worldwide debate on climate change on Friday by sensationally publishing a letter online in which he spelled out the astonishing interference.

He said the officials, representing ‘all the main countries and regions of the world’ insisted on the changes in a late-night meeting at a Berlin conference centre two weeks ago.

Three quarters of the original version of the document ended up being deleted.

Prof Stavins claimed the intervention amounted to a serious ‘conflict of interest’ between scientists and governments. His revelation is significant because it is rare for climate change experts to publicly question the process behind the compilation of reports on the subject.

According to NASA, temperatures were very cold in 1923, much colder than the 1970’s – when Arctic ice was rapidly expanding.

If you believe the NASA temperature record like Mosher does, then the Arctic was rapidly melting when it was cold, and rapidly freezing when it was warm.

Telltale signs are everywhere —from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest. Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7° F. Although that figure is at best an estimate, it is supported by other convincing data. When Climatologist George J. Kukla of Columbia University‘s Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and his wife Helena analyzed satellite weather data for the Northern Hemisphere, they found that the area of the ice and snow cover had suddenly increased by 12% in 1971 and the increase has persisted ever since.

For most of the 20th century, the scientific consensus ridiculed anyone who believed that the continents moved.

By 1980, the scientific consensus gave up on blocking progress in geology, and turned their attention to blocking progress in climate science.

In 2007, Nobel laureate Al Gore said the Arctic is “falling off a cliff” and the ice will be gone by 2014.  Like all good climate experts, he based his projection on six weeks worth of data.

Arctic sea ice is right where it was 10 years ago.

Former US Vice President Al Gore cited Professor Maslowski’s analysis on Monday in his acceptance speech at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo.

Last September 21, as the Northern Hemisphere tilted away from the sun, scientists reported with unprecedented distress that the North Polar ice cap is “falling off a cliff.” One study estimated that it could be completely gone during summer in less than 22 years. Another new study, to be presented by U.S. Navy researchers later this week, warns it could happen in as little as 7 years.

North Dakota has 130 degree swings in temperature every year, but scientists say that two degrees of temperature change will destroy the earth.

There was nothing suspicious about Petraeus being targeted two days before he was scheduled to testify about Benghazi.

There was certainly nothing suspicious about Ben Carson getting a tax audit after criticizing Obama.

Not a smidgen of corruption behind the IRS targeting conservatives and preventing them from getting involved in the election.

Nothing suspicious about D’Souza being targeted and setting half a million dollars bail for doing something much less serious than many Obama donors.

And Candy Crowley just happened to have a transcript, and Obama just happened to know about it.

Nothing to see here, move along.
