Our calculated global warming in this case is 16°C, with warming at the poles approximately 30°C. Calculated warming over land areas averages approximately 20°C.
Antarctica to become the new Hawaii.
Hansen appears desperate to destroy the world’s economy. I wonder who is paying him to do this?
A report from the UK Energy Research Centre also shows the number of those who resolutely do not believe in climate change has more than quadrupled since 2005.
Dr. Roy Spencer, a former NASA scientist and author of Climate Confusion, argues in his influential blog the UN report shows scientists are being forced to “recognise reality”.
He said: “We are now at the point in the age of global warming hysteria where the IPCC global warming theory has crashed into the hard reality of observations.”
In 1999, NASA showed that the four hottest years in US history were 1934, 1921, 1931 and 1953, and that the US was much hotter in the 1930s.
In 2008, the EPA also showed that the 1930s were much hotter in the US
But NASA has magically changed the past, to make move 1998 up four places and erase the cooling trend since the 1930s.
Enron accountants would blush at the work going on inside NASA.
Colorado has suffered a lot of property damage this summer because people have building houses in places which burn and/or flood.
Solution : stop Keystone from running through Nebraska.
In a bit of strange and unprecedented good news, it was recently discovered Antarctic sea ice is growing at record rates. This is definitely odd, of course, because the air and the oceans have been getting warmer in the area.
Zhang, an oceanographer at the UW Applied Physics Laboratory, now has his research published in the Journal of Climate.

Warm water and air causes ice to form.
Roger Pielke Jr. explains :
Boulder did not actually experience a “1,000-year flood.” In fact, according to an analysis presented by fellow CU faculty member John Pitlick yesterday, using standard hydrological methods, Boulder experienced between a 25- and 50-year flood. (I am focusing here on Boulder, I have not seen similar analyses for other Colorado streamflows, though they are sure to come.) Pitlick further noted that the flood waters did not reach the 50-year mark on the Gilbert White memorial (seen at the top of this post.)
Since President Obama took office, the number of hurricanes, tornadoes and forest fires has dropped dramatically. He promised to heal the planet, and now he can retire to Guantanamo in peace once the Benghazi details come out.
Western Arctic ice coverage is higher than 1981, and is almost back to “normal.”
The odds of any point on Earth being hit by a meteor are billions to one, yet Earth gets hit by meteors tens of thousands of times a year.
Billion to one occurrences are the new normal, and they directly correlate with the rise in CO2.
