Real Climate Science

The last few years have been very quiet for tornadoes, but years with cold spring temperatures invariably have large tornado outbreaks, and alarmists invariably try to blame them on global warming.

I was nearly caught in this massive F3 tornado in 2008, which destroyed much of Windsor, Colorado. The morning started out very warm and humid, and then a cold front moved through around noon. It felt like the gates of hell had opened up.

On Thursday, May 22, 2008, a wide and powerful tornado swept north northwestward for 39 miles from northeast of Platteville in Weld County to 6 miles west-northwest of Wellington in Larimer County.  The National Weather Service tornado damage assessments conducted on Friday, May 23rd and Saturday, May 24th documented large areas of damage.  On the enhanced Fujita scale there were pockets of EF3 damage especially near the Missile Silo Park Campground west of Greeley and to homes and businesses in eastern Windsor.  Wind estimates in the heavily damaged areas were as high as 130 to 150 mph.

The tornado was as wide as one mile at times along its path.  There was one fatality and 78 injuries.  At least 850 homes were damaged, with nearly 300 homes signficantly damged or destroyed.  Privately insured damages total $193.5 million, and the Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association reported one million dollars of damage to electric transmission facilities.

The year 1936 was one of the worst in US history. On April 6, tornadoes killed hundreds of people across the south.

Two weeks earlier, the country suffered from massive dust storms and flooding.

20 Mar 1936 – ALL EASTERN AMERICA UNDER FLOOD WATERS Terrible…

Prior to that was one of the coldest winters in US history

The summer had one of the worst droughts in US history

After the year 2000, Best doesn’t even vaguely resemble satellite data.

In 1943, a couple of hundred Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto armed only with pistols held off the Nazis for over a month. They died fighting with dignity, rather than being hauled off to the gas chambers.

Imagine what they could have done armed with rifles – the kind which progressives want to illegally confiscate from American citizens.

Last summer, NOAA predicted a very active Atlantic hurricane season. It turned out to be the quietest in decades.

Then they forecast a warm winter, which turned out to be coldest in decades.

Their forecasting ability for the current year may be zero, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make expert forecasts for 100 years from now.

During one of the few hot spells last summer, President Obama hurriedly called an outdoor press conference in the sun in the middle of the afternoon, and then did a third rate acting job to try to convince people that they need to give up their money, energy security and freedom in order to stop global warming.

Shortly thereafter, the US began seven consecutive months of near record cold.

RSS satellite data shows very little global warming over land since 1995, while CRUTEM4 shows a lot of global warming over land during the same period. Without that warming, they have no hockey stick.

The divergence is a spectacular 0.76C/century, implying that almost the entire surface data trend is due to UHI contamination.

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow

Alarmists are constantly accusing me of being a paid oil-industry shill who wants to see the planet destroyed. I would be more than happy to take oil money, but no one has offered any. My blogging has come out of my own pocket, and has been very expensive in terms of time and lost opportunity costs.

I have been an active environmentalist for almost my entire life. At age 16 I testified before a Congressional hearing in support of a proposed wilderness area in Utah. I worked to get the Clean Air Act passed, and worked for two summers as a wilderness ranger in New Mexico. I do all of my local transport and shopping by bicycle, and buy almost exclusively organic and free range food.

The reason I blog is because catastrophic global warming is junk science, used by unscrupulous people for unscrupulous political and financial purposes. It keeps environmentalists from doing anything useful, and provides progressives an excuse to push toward totalitarianism.

The global warming scam needs to be stopped. It has spiraled completely out of control, and no longer has any pretense of science behind the lies.

I do this because I want my children and grandchildren to enjoy the opportunities I have enjoyed, and because global warming alarmists threaten everyone with their psychotic, sociopathic behavior.
