Real Climate Science

Hi Stephen, Thank you for your stellar analyses. I share your results with my branch. I work for the NWS and of course, I am surrounded by liberal scientists who have turned off their critical analysis cap. I shared your link to the NASA satellite imagery of western Greenland. Got some irrational comments from colleagues but when confronted with the facts they backed down. I have won every argument posted to the NWS Climate Forum. But the powers that be accused me of being inconsiderate and disrespectful. When I threatened to go up the chain-of-command, they backed down. It’s a matter of discussing scientific positions freely and without fear.

It’s really sad though, many NWS employees endorse my arguments in email but are afraid to post because they are afraid of retaliation. And other (younger) colleagues on the forum try to compose a rebuttal don’t really know the basics of the art of argument. They beg for my dogmatic acceptance of some higher authority and just regurgitate what they learned in college. They really don’t think they know how to think critically any more. I brought up Benghazi (argument from authority) and they pretty much-shut up. We still don’t know who executed the stand-down order. I guess we will never know. Please keep fighting the good fight. I think this will be a hell-of-a-winter in the East, 2013/14.

Regards,

-Jerry

• They told us that the Arctic would be ice-free in 2013
• They told us that the end of July storm would make the ice disappear, due to a “whole new set of rules.”
• They told us that the Arctic ocean is heating up, making it harder for ice to form
• They told us that the ice is in an unrecoverable death spiral.
• They told us that you could row through the Northwest Passage

The one fact which becomes obvious, is that the world’s leading Arctic experts have absolutely no clue what they are talking about

Global sea ice area has been above normal most of the year, and is averaging above normal in 2013.

The year over change in October 16 global sea ice area is the greatest on record : 44,000 Manhattans of new ice.

Global sea ice area is higher than 1979, and is the highest this millennium.

Government climate experts tell us that the poles are melting down, because they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

LA Times bans letters from climate skeptics

Reached at his home on Friday, Thornton told FoxNews.com his policy was being misinterpreted. “This is not a blanket ban on ‘skeptics.’ What it does ban is factual inaccuracy,”

This is same LA Times which publishes factual inaccuracies about the climate almost every day.  They said in August that New Mexico would never recover from the drought – right before New Mexico flooded.

Aug. 6, 2013

But nowhere is it worse than in New Mexico. In this parched state, the question is no longer how much worse it can get but whether it will ever get better — and, ominously, whether collapsing ecosystems can recover even if it does.

In New Mexico, water levels in the once-mighty Rio Grande are so low that it is often referred to as the “Rio Sand.” In some parts of the state, officials fear ecosystems are collapsing.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Another round of rainfall moved across New Mexico on Sunday, renewing the threat of heavy runoff from already saturated soils and flooding in low areas as residents faced a major cleanup effort from damage left in the wake of days of relentless rain.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for much of central and northern New Mexico. In the northeastern corner of the state, where the chance for heavy rain was greatest, residents who live along the Gallinas River were being warned that the waterway could swell again.

Bandelier National Monument experienced two large flood events, one late afternoon Thursday, Sept. 12 and the other this morning.

Flooding in Frijoles Canyon prompted Superintendent Jason Lott to close the monument for the safety of visitors due to debris on trails and the potential for flooding throughout the weekend.  Bandelier staff will begin clean-up efforts as soon as rains subside and hope to re-open the monument by Monday, Sept. 16.

• West Road in Los Alamos is CLOSED.  All other roads in Los Alamos County are open. Los Alamos County crews will continue to deal with all flooding and road issues by priority. NMDOT also has crews on site to clear any rock fall on Main Hill Road. Please be patient as we work through the issues and avoid travel if possible.

A few days later the LA Times warned their readers about rising sea levels.

But there has been no sea level rise in LA for three decades.

The LA publishes misinformation about the climate constantly, and their stance is indicative of their own stupidity, prejudice and uselessness at journalism.

Despite the extreme display of stupidity by the Republican leadership this past two weeks, one very good thing came out of it. Everyone will remember that the Republicans fought against Obamacare.

If Obama delays the unaffordable broken healthcare disaster for a year, it is bad news for him  – because he shut down the government and kept threatening to default over his own refusal to do that very thing. All of his vitriol and poison comes flying back his direction.

If Obama doesn’t delay the mess, the Democrats take the full blame for the nightmare they created. Either way, the Democrats bad Karma comes back to haunt them.

Three weeks ago I shut down the US government, blocked 90 year old veterans access to their memorial, blocked Americans’ access to their own national parks, trashed our system of government, and spooked financial markets – because I wanted to punish Republicans for trying to delay ACA. I thought I would score political points by doing this.

Now I have decided to delay ACA. Please start impeachment proceedings immediately. There are words for people like me.

After the coldest Arctic summer on record, mid-October Arctic temperatures are the coldest they have been for 13 years.
