In an effort to warm the winter up, I’m going to deliver a massive carbon footprint next week with numerous plane flights between all of the countries in North America.
Hopefully it will help compensate for my normal deficiency caused by excess cycling.
It is not known when Tacloban became a municipality because records supporting this fact were destroyed during a typhoon

7000 Lives Lost.
The hurricane reached Leyte on October 12, and striking Tacloban, the capital, with terrific force, reduced it to ruins in less than half an hour.

Temperatures have been flat to down since 360 PPM CO2, but through the entire satellite record, the worst case that could be made is 0.3ºC warming per 100 PPM CO2 .

Antarctic temperatures show no correlation with CO2, and Arctic temperatures show less than 1ºC per 100 PPM CO2.

In the 21st century, temperatures have steadily declined while CO2 has increased. If current trends continue, when we reach 600 PPM, all claimed 20th century warming should be erased.

Since Julia’s carbon tax was implemented, the rate of increase in atmospheric CO2 has greatly accelerated.
In 1988, the world’s greatest climatologist published these three possible forecasts for future temperatures.
Scenario A assumes continued exponential trace gas growth, scenario B assumes a reduced linear growth of trace gases, and scenario C assumes a rapid curtailment of trace gas emissions such that the net climate forcing ceases to increase after the year 2000.
The highest forecast, scenario A was Hansen’s expected “business as usual” forecast, as documented in this 1989 publication.
So how did Hansen’s forecasts fare? NASA five year mean temperatures are plotted in green on top of the 1988 graph below. They are tracking scenario C, which was based on zero emissions this century.
scenario C assumes a rapid curtailment of trace gas emissions such that the net climate forcing ceases to increase after the year 2000
In other words, the 10% increase in atmospheric CO2 since 2000 has had no effect on the temperature, and warming since 1988 has been less than one-third of what Hansen forecast in his business as usual scenario.
But it is worse than it seems. Until the most recent data tampering, temperatures were below scenario C. The animation below flashes between January 2012 NASA data, and the current NASA data. They are constantly tampering with the data to bump up the feeble warming which has occurred.

But it is even worse than that. Hansen published his most conservative “scientific” forecasts. He was telling the press much higher numbers at the time.

Dr. James E. Hansen of the Goddard Space Flight Center’s Institute for Space Studies said research by his institute showed that because of the “greenhouse effect” that results when gases prevent heat from escaping the earth’s atmosphere, global temperatures would rise early in the next century to “well above any level experienced in the past 100,000 years.”
Average global temperatures would rise by one-half a degree to one degree Fahrenheit from 1990 to 2000 if current trends are unchanged, according to Hansen’s findings. Hansen said the global temperature would rise by another 2 to 4 degrees in the following decade.
In summary, the entire global warming story is a total failure – complete with failed forecasts, data tampering and wild exaggerations from the leading government scientist.
