The US midwest is having the coldest year on record through April 12, with the ratio of record lows to record highs 35:1

On March 19, 1907 – three HCN stations in Oklahoma were over 100 degrees. If this happened now, climate experts would cite it as 100% proof of global warming, and James Hansen would say it couldn’t have happened below 350 PPM CO2.

On April 12, 1972 – nineteen Oklahoma HCN stations reached 100 degrees, and Mangum reached 106 degrees. Temperatures in Mangum today are forecast to be half that, at 53 degrees.

If this happened today, climate experts would cite it as 100% proof of global warming, and James Hansen would say it was impossible with CO2 below 350 PPM.

US temperatures through April 12 are fifth coldest on record, and the coldest in 35 years.

The winter of 1977 was very similar to the winter of 2014 in the US. It was warm in Alaska and the west coast, and very cold in the midwest and the eastern US.

The jet stream was positioned very similarly during winter 1977, as it was this winter.

But what was different from winter 2014, is that scientists blamed it on global cooling and the coming ice age instead of global warming and the coming meltdown.

97% of scientists believe that ants walking affect Earth’s rotation.

Therefore, the overwhelming consensus of scientists believe that ants control the Earth.

Five years ago, crack government scientists announced the official demise of multi-year sea ice.

The multiyear ice covering the Arctic Ocean has effectively vanished, a startling development that will make it easier to open up polar shipping routes, an Arctic expert said on Thursday.

And now, half of the Arctic Ocean is covered with thick, impenetrable multi-year ice.

As Antarctic sea ice area soars to record highs, the geniuses at Time Magazine say that penguins are threatened by melting sea ice.

One of the standard claims of global warming hysterics, is that global warming makes DC cherry blossoms bloom earlier. Sadly for them, the past two years were both very late – and only the volcano cooled year of 1993 beat 2014, by one day.
