Real Climate Science

The CIA warned in 1976 that global cooling will increase the frequency of droughts. (Hansen says that global warming will increase the frequency of droughts.)

C.I.A. WARNING

From a correspondent in Washington

MAJOR world climate changes were under way that would cause economic and political upheavals “almost beyond comprehension”, an internal report of the Central Intelligence Agency has warned the US Government.

“The new climatic era brings a promise of famine and starvation to  many areas of the world”, the report  warns.

The report, which contends that the Climate changes began in 1960, is based on a study by Mr Reid Bryson of the University of Wisconsin.

Its basic premise is that the world’s climate is cooling and will revert to conditions prevalent between 1600 and 1850 — when the earth’s population was less than 1,000 million and its rural, pre-industrial era civilisations were largely capable of feeding themselves.

Last March, estimated world population reached 4,000 million. A return to cooler temperatures in today’s fragile, interdependent global economic structure would mean that India, China and the Soviet Union — among other northern hemisphere nations — will be hard pressed to feed their populations.

The report notes that  “the change of climate is cooling some significant agricultural areas and causing drought in others. If, for example, there, is a northern hemisphere drop of one degree centigrade, it would mean that India will have a major drought every four years and can only support three-fourths of her present population”.

India’s estimated population is 586 million.

“The world reserve would have to supply 30 to 50 million metric tons of grain each year to pre vent the death of 150 million Indians”, the re port said.

“China, with a major famine every five years, would require a supply of 50 million metric Ions of grain. The Soviet Union would lose Kazakhstan for grain production, thereby showing a yearly loss of 48 million metric tons of grain.

“Canada, a major exporter, would lose over 50 per cent of its production capability and 75 per cent of its exporting capabilities. Northern Europe will “lose 25 to 30 per cent of its present production capability while the Common Market countries would zero their exports”.

The report, which- was concerned with possible political and economic threats the United States could expect from such drastic events, said the starvation and famine would lead to social unrest and global migration of populations.

Typhoon Haiyan hits Philippines | World news | The Guardian

The typhoon landed at 4:40 a.m. local time, at the town of Guiuan. Philippine weather forecasters said Haiyan—locally called Yolanda—is the strongest tropical cyclone this year to hit the country—the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane. It hammered the coastal town in Eastern Samar province with winds of 235 kilometers an hour (146 miles an hour) and gusts of 270 kph. The storm is moving west at 39 kph, a faster clip than estimated. Its diameter also shrunk to 400 kilometers.

It is the strongest to make landfall since Typhoon Ruth slammed into northern Luzon with sustained winds of 250 kph and gusts of 285 kph.

Why does the press let Obama “back off” when he is caught conning and swindling people?

Satellite loops show that Haiyan weakened only slightly, if at all, in the two hours after JTWC’s advisory, so the super typhoon likely made landfall with winds near 195 mph. This makes Haiyan the strongest tropical cyclone on record to make landfall in world history. The previous record was held by the Atlantic’s Hurricane Camille of 1969, which made landfall in Mississippi with 190 mph winds.

Alarmists are amazing, comparing aircraft measurements taken hours earlier with estimated surface measurements from Hurricane Camille (all of the wind gauges were destroyed) and then boldly declaring a record before any actual data is available.

The strongest surface winds being reported by Weather Underground in the region are 20 MPH.

Briffa’s trees were not showing the warming which Mann wanted to produce, so Mann chucked them out after 1960 and replaced them with Hansen’s garbage temperature data.

But now, the garbage temperature data isn’t producing any heating either, so Trenberth has chucked the thermometers and replaced them with imaginary missing deep ocean heat in computer models.

Difficult to imagine any group of people being more ridiculous than the hockey team. They make Monty Python’s witch burners look like world class scientists.

In 1989, the White House told Hansen that he could not falsely represent his certainty or claim that his was the only point of view.

Toledo Blade – May 9, 1989

WASHINGTON – The White House is defending its decision to change the congressional testimony that a top government scientist gave on global warming.

The Bush administration yesterday stood behind the revisions. made by the Office of Management and Budget, and said they dealt, with statements of policy, not scientific evidence.
Dr James Hansen. director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told senators yesterday that OMB forced him to contradict in his written report his finding that a buildup of “greenhouse effect” gases would increase the likelihood of drought

In testimony before the Senate subcommittee on science, technology and space, Dr. Hansen said OMB told him to soften some of his observations and added a final paragraph that suggested his predictions might not be reliable.

The changes were made over his objections, he said.

“He’s an outstanding and distinguished scientist,” Mr. Fitzwater said. “We urge him to present his views in any and every forum possible.

“But we simply point out that there are other points of view on this issue and that the administration policy has not been established.”

OMB modified this recommendation with a disclaimer that his findings on the rate and magnitude of drought, storms, and temperature change are “estimates from evolving computer models” and are “not reliable predictions.”

Hansen proved to be dead wrong on everything, and the White House objections were correct. Lefties were hysterical that Hansen’s mindless nonsense was being toned down.

Compare that to Obama, who has declared that the only acceptable point of view is the one he holds, and strongly hinted that anyone who does not hold his point of view will be purged from the government.

“It doesn’t create jobs when you go after scientists, and you try to offer your own alternative theories of how things work and engage in litigation around stuff that isn’t political,”

“It has to do with what’s true. It has to do with facts. You don’t argue with facts.

Obama Hits Cuccinelli on Climate Change Skepticism | InsideClimate News

No alternative theories are permitted, and truth is determined by whatever random thought is trapped inside Obama’s brain. This is what progressives call science.

Steve Keohane made this graph, showing just how foolish our President is.

Unless they don’t believe in the biggest scientific hoax in history.

Obama is very good at big things like healing the planet and slowing the rise of the seas, but not as proficient at smaller tasks – like making web sites work and protecting ambassadors from spontaneous YouTube protesters, or ever telling the truth about anything.
