From reading the press, it is quite clear what we need to do to save the planet.
In order to be saved, you must believe in global warming. Those who don’t believe in global warming are doomed to an eternal hell fire of 0.6ºC warming.
Unless everyone believes, a giant flood will drown our coasts. The great visionary Al Gore has prophesied this.
You must repent of your carbon sins, and pay your carbon tithes to the government.
NOAA is forecasting a 70 percent chance of 13 to 19 named storms, 6 to 9 of which would become hurricanes and 3 to 5 major hurricanes
NOAA UPDATE: ‘Very Active’ Hurricane Season Possible – weather.com
In 1975, the National Academy Of Sciences published the graph below of the Northern Hemisphere, showing about 0.5ºC cooling from the 1930’s to the 1960’s.
But NASA has kindly reduced that cooling to less than 0.2ºC
The next graph overlays the NASA graph on the National Academy of Sciences graph. NASA cleverly erased the entire inconvenient warm period from 1910 to 1940.
I say, hats off to the Ministry of Truth.

Snow is falling earlier than during the 1970’s global cooling scare.

Comparisons of satellite cyclone measurements vs. historical records is a nonsensical exercise. Satellites have a very high sampling rate and coverage, and will always find the peak wind speeds and minimum pressures. But older hurricanes have either very sparse data, or no data at all – in which case their intensity is based on damage.
Ryan Maue tells me that “very sharp gradients in wind exist” near the eyewall, which means that older observations are almost guaranteed to not locate the peak wind speeds.
The only way to compare recent hurricanes with ones from the past are by surface measurements or damage. Using either of those criteria, Typhoon Yolanda was nowhere near what Jeff Masters claims it was. Just more junk science from the team.

A brilliant plan to tackle a non-existent problem by simply killing off the economy. Temperatures have been flat since 1997.
