Real Climate Science

The weather outside is frightful, but the view inside …. delightful.

Some climate scientists are stuck at the Arctic minimum of 2012. Others are stuck at the warm US spring of 2012. Still others are stuck at the 15 minutes above freezing on the Greenland ice sheet during 2012. I suspect some are still stuck at the European heatwave of 2003.

Most prominent climate scientists believe that time began sometime after 1970, and ended in 2012.

On Sunday, a dry ice device exploded inside an employee bathroom at LAX’s Terminal 2. No injuries were reported in that incident.

In both instances, the bombs were left in an area of the airport that require special clearance for access.

“At least they found unexploded ones,” passenger Bing Smith said. “I don’t know frankly what to think about somebody getting to limited access areas that require a badge.”

Authorities said there was no indication that either incident was part of a terrorist act.

Planting a bomb in California is not terrorism, but supporting fiscal responsibility or owning a rifle is considered terrorism.

According to the scumbags who control US climate policy, the Earth’s climate system has absorbed 2.4 billion Hiroshima bombs worth of excess heat since 1997.

If the Met Office is right, and temperatures rise to record levels in the next 5 five years, then the sceptics will have no-where to hide. If the Met Office is wrong, and in the next few years we have not exceeded 1998 temperature levels, then this would cause big questions to be asked – remember their simulations rule out zero trends for 15 years or more.

BBC – Paul Hudson’s Weather & Climate Blog: Global temperatures – and the future

No big questions being asked. The IPCC simply ramped their confidence up to 95%.

Democrats led by Obama have completely sabotaged the US economy and America’s standing in the world. Their response to all crises is now to blame everything on the Tea Party, as they did within minutes of the Boston bombing.

Hitler rose on the back of scapegoats, as do all tyrants.

The Met Office says that warming is set to resume quickly and strongly.

It predicts that from 2010 to 2015 at least half the years will be hotter than the current hottest year on record (1998).

Sceptics disagree. They insist it is unlikely that temperatures will reach the dizzy heights of 1998 until 2030 at the earliest. It is possible, they say, that because of ocean and solar cycles a period of global cooling is more likely.

One thing is for sure. It seems the debate about what is causing global warming is far from over. Indeed some would say it is hotting up.

None of the years since 2009 have gotten anywhere near 1998.

This climategate E-mail from 2009 sums up the state of the hockey team. They are completely incompetent, unwilling to listen to any real scientists, and on a mission to destroy any accurate reporting about climate by the press.

Hi all. Any of you want to explain decadal natural variability and signal to noise and sampling errors to this new “IPCC Lead Author” from the BBC? As we enter an El Nino year and as soon, as the sunspots get over their temporary–presumed–vacation worth a few tenths of a Watt per meter squared reduced forcing, there will likely be another dramatic upward spike like 1992-2000. I heard someone–Mike Schlesinger maybe??–was willing to bet a lot of money on it happening in next 5 years?? Meanwhile the past 10 years of global  mean temperature trend stasis still saw what, 9 of the warmest in reconstructed 1000 year record and Greenland and the sea ice of the North in big retreat?? Some of you observational folks probably do need to straighten this out as my student suggests below. Such “fun”, Cheers,
Steve

Steve,
You may be aware of this already. Paul Hudson, BBC’s reporter on climate change, on Friday wrote that there’s been no warming since 1998, and that pacific oscillations will force cooling for the next 20-30 years. It is not outrageously biased in presentation as are other skeptics’ views.

BBC has significant influence on public opinion outside the US.
Do you think this merits an op-ed response in the BBC from a scientist?

ClimateGate FOIA grepper! – travesty

The BBC article they are condemning was one of the few accurate climate articles the BBC has ever written. And the 1992-2000 warming spike Schneider is referring to, was just the recovery from Pinatubo. He apparently knew nothing about the climate.
