Climate xperts say that UHI has no effect, which is why Denver is 6-15 degrees warmer than outlying areas at the same elevation this morning.
Obviously snow removal, pavement, concrete and heating several million homes has no impact on temperature, but tiny amounts of CO2 does,
Leading climate stupidity experts predicted an ice-free Arctic in 2013, and it did the exact opposite.

James Hansen : ‘This is the last chance’
6/23/2008
“We see a tipping point occurring right before our eyes,” Hansen told the AP before the luncheon. “The Arctic is the first tipping point and it’s occurring exactly the way we said it would.”
Hansen, echoing work by other scientists, said that in five to 10 years, the Arctic will be free of sea ice in the summer.

The alarming loss of sea ice which has grown worse each summer over the past several decades, has taken a sharp turn for the worse: this year the loss is right in the middle, the most resilient part of the ice cover. This could lead to a completely ice-free Arctic Ocean by September.

The mainstream media almost never report on research that challenges the approved narrative, which explains why a comprehensive study by Quinnipiac University economist Mark Gius has hardly seen the light of day since being released Nov. 26.
“The purpose of the present study is to determine the effects of state-level assault weapons bans and concealed weapons laws on state-level murder rates. Using data for the period 1980 to 2009 and controlling for state and year fixed effects, the results of the present study suggest that states with restrictions on the carrying of concealed weapons had higher gun-related murder rates than other states.”
“It was also found that assault weapons bans did not significantly affect murder rates at the state level,” Mr. Gius noted.

SMH claims that west Antarctic Ice is seeing a big decrease in sea ice, and East Antarctica a small increase.
This is a flagrant lie on all counts. Antarctic sea ice is at a record high anomaly of 1.5 million km², and West Antarctic sea ice currently extends hundreds of miles further from the pole than normal.

Even if their Western Antarctic disinformation were correct, how would a small increase combine with a big decrease to produce a record maximum? They are incompetent at math and science, and shouldn’t be reporting on it. No comment section, of course.

I was driving past Colorado Springs in sub-zero (F) weather this evening, and saw a huge array of solar collectors covered with snow and completely useless.
On a more positive note, this was the view in the San Luis Valley today, near the birthplace of the Manassa Mauler.
In 1997, GISS showed that the earth was rapidly warming from 1866 to 1900. But by 1999, they showed the exact opposite for the same time period.
The 1997 version was destroyed on the Web Archive sometime this week, and is now empty. It was located here. I captured it on December 23.

The 1999 version has not been destroyed yet, and can still be found here :

They claim to know temperatures within 0.01 degrees, but didn’t even know the polarity of the trend.
This inconvenient graph has been on the GISS website since 1999, and shows US temperatures cooling since the 1930’s.
On January 18, 2011 the graph was wrecked and appeared as below for a while. Someone had likely tampered with the file.

I raised a big stink about, and a few days later the original graph reappeared.

This archived 1997 GISS zonal temperature record contained the text below. Now it contains no text. This can’t happen without someone intentionally tampering with the file.

The city of Santa Fe has banned plastic bags, and thereby saved the climate and the New Mexico Sea Lion population, but unfortunately they don’t know what year it is.
The city’s Environmental Services Division had to mail hundreds of local businesses two separate letters about the looming plastic bag ban after the first one included the wrong implementation date.
The ban goes into effect in 2014, not in 2013 as the letter stated.
