Real Climate Science

Fox News reports :

The massive (Gallup) survey, released on Monday, shows the number of uninsured indeed has fallen to its lowest level in years, likely thanks to the Affordable Care Act.

What they are trying to say is that the number of uninsured Americans is up more than 8% since Obama was elected.  According to the Gallup numbers, there are at least 3.7 million more uninsured now, than on the day Obama was elected.

It is difficult to win an argument when the people on your side have no critical thinking skills.

Changes to GISS US temperatures between 2001 and 2014 assisted in multiple efforts.

1. Reducing the 1940s spike
2. Hiding the decline
3. Making the hockey stick

This was on top of a very large and similarly shaped change between 2000 and 2001

Due to improvements in temperature recording technology. USHCN has to exponentially increase recent temperature adjustments.

The Arctic has seen a huge increase in multi-year sea ice. The Great Lakes have record ice. Antarctica has record sea ice. Global sea ice area is above normal. Last year was the quietest year for hurricanes and tornadoes on record in the US, and the longest period without a major (cat 3-5) hurricane strike. The US is having its coldest six months in 100 years.

And NOAA says it is one of the five hottest years on record.

NSIDC reports a large increase in multi-year Arctic sea ice over last year – about the size of Alaska.

What percentage of US warming is due to CO2, and what percentage is due to data tampering?

Current NCDC in red. 1991 NCDC in black.

More than 30% of the HCN low temperature readings in the midwest have been below 0F (-18C) so far this year. The 2014 percentage will of course go down, but even if there weren’t another 0F reading the rest of the year – 2014 would still rank in the top two coldest after 1963.

The ratio of daily record lows to record highs so far this year is 35:1

I’m predicting Man City to win the BPL this year, Bayern to repeat in the Champions League, and Chelsea kicking themselves in the ass for selling Juan Mata.

I also think that Antarctic sea ice extent will increase for the next six months.
