Real Climate Science

One of the more popular global warming fantasies was declining spring snow cover. Looks like that canary in the coal mine has flown south.

I became a true believer in global warming 33 years ago, while doing research at Los Alamos National Labs.

A third of a century later, nothing they predicted has come true. The US just had the quietest tornado season on record, the quietest hurricane season on record, the fewest forest fires since 1984, the second fewest hundred degree readings in a century, and no change in global temperature for 17 years.

It is all a bunch of total bullshit.

There is some good news on global warming: but not for those convinced that inexorable warming will result in a calamity of biblical proportions.

The problem the warmists face — or refuse to face — is that it isn’t happening. Despite the steady increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide in the in the last 15 years, global temperatures have shown no statistically significant increase.

Masters claims last week’s typhoon had the highest wind speeds in world history. It was actually only #7 in Philippines history.

Hansen forecast peak sea ice loss around Antarctica, as measured by surface reflectance of light.

Instead, Antarctica has had steadily increasing sea ice and a record maximum this year.

The 1930’s and 1950’s had the hottest weather in the last century in the US, with no overall trend.

But NOAA shows the US much hotter now than than the 1930’s, and Hansen keeps saying that summer heat waves are much getting much worse – due to global warming.

The 1930’s were much hotter than any recent decades, and government climate scientists need to stop lying about it.

Miramar, Fla. (CBS TAMPA) – The low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines is offering $29.90 one-way tickets to the Toronto region – and taking a shot at a recent admission from the city’s mayor – their ads promise: “We’re not smoking crack.”

Actually they are smoking crack.

The airline’s trip to the “Toronto area” would actually put passengers on a flight to Niagara Falls, N.Y. – about an hour-and-a-half away from the city and on the other side of the Canadian border.

I’m pretty sure that the Buffalo/Niagara airport is not in Canada. I fly to Buffalo rather than Toronto, because the tickets are several hundred dollars cheaper. Some days it takes hours to drive across the border.

The US had the fourth fewest 95ºF readings in a century this year, and about one-third as many as 1936. Climate experts say that the US is overheating.
