Why Arctic sea ice will vanish in 2013

Serious stuff: Adult discussion time…

Why Arctic sea ice will vanish in 2013

Andrew Freedman of Heidi Central claims that the Boulder rainfall last week was a 1,000 year event. Here is how his scam works.

The CSU map below (h/t Omnologos) shows rainfall during the 1997 Spring Creek flood in Fort Collins – which was more intense than last week’s Boulder rain. Freedman’s argument is based on the spectacularly deceptive concept that the odds of one particular rain gauge being right under the peak precipitation are very low.

The University of Colorado says that last week’s flood was a 25-50 year event in Boulder, but no matter how many times this gets pointed out to Andrew Freedman, he continues to insist that it was a 1,000 year rainfall. It is equivalent of saying that the odds of there being a Colorado lottery winner are very low, because the odds for any individual ticket are very low.

Lyons was severely damaged by the flood and won’t be functional again for months. It was a disaster waiting to happen.

In July, the Arctic experts told me I am not allowed to look at the Arctic until September. Now that September is here, they tell me that I am not allowed to look at the Arctic at all.

And extent is no longer a legitimate measurement – the only valid measurement is phony volume numbers from PIOMAS – which only show a 46% increase.

Seventy-five years ago today, a major hurricane narrowly missed New York, but devastated Long Island and New England. Had it made landfall 70 miles to the west, it would have destroyed New York City. My mother remembers seeing trees in Brooklyn bent over to the ground.
