Real Climate Science

“Across the region, 90-degree days are occurring earlier and more often. The historical average has nearly doubled. What does this say about climate change?”

It says that newspapers lie about climate constantly.

From 1971-2000, Massachusetts logged an average of four days above 90 degrees.

Why did they start their graph in 1971?

Ten years ago today …

“Surely it’s time for climate-change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies.”

The dangers of bone-headed beliefs

March of 1910 was the warmest and driest on record in the US.

This led to the largest and some of the deadliest fires in US history.

On October 7 a forest fire raged out of control across Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota, leveling everything in its path.

A few weeks earlier was the largest forest fire in US history, along the Idaho/Montana border.

Biden administration formally launches task force to ensure scientific decisions are free from political influence

The EPA has a new graph on their website which shows that the US Forest Service collected fire data from 1983 to 1997 and the National Interagency Fire Center collected fire data starting in 1983. According to their graph burn acreage in the US has increased by 400%.

But this report from ten years ago showed that US Forest Service collected fire data from at least 1916 to 2008, and that burn acreage is down 80% since the 1930s.

This 1938 New York Times article confirmed the data in Forest Service graph.

The National Interagency Fire Center website shows burn acreage back to 1983.

As of January 29 of this year, the same website showed burn acreage back to 1926.

The Biden administration picked the low point of the graph to start their new graph and hid all of the earlier data.

By starting in 1983, they can claim there is a correlation between CO2 and burn acreage.

But the complete data set shows the exact opposite.

On November 1 of last year, the National Interagency Fire Center had this document on their web site.

“In the conterminous United States during the preindustrial period (1500- 1800), an average of 145 million acres burned annually. Today only 14 million acres (federal and non-federal) are burned annually by wildland fire from all ignition sources.”
