Real Climate Science

“The ice is just thinner than it used to be. So it doesn’t really matter so much what the summer weather does anymore—the thin ice melts out easier during the summer melt season.”

Apparently the cold weather this summer had nothing to do with the doubling of Arctic ice!

In a new study, detailed recently in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, Stroeve and her colleagues analyzed nearly two dozen computer climate models to determine the extent to which global warming is responsible for the increasing shrinkage of Arctic sea ice.

Her team determined that human activity can be blamed for some 60 percent of the observed rate of decline since 1979, with the rest due to natural climate variability.

Arctic Sea Ice Hits Record Low—Extreme Weather to Come?

Can anyone name a prediction which climate alarmists got right?

There were 332 fires simultaneously burning in California that summer.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Americans strongly oppose U.S. intervention in Syria’s civil war and believe Washington should stay out of the conflict even if reports that Syria’s government used deadly chemicals to attack civilians are confirmed, a Reuters/Ipsos poll says.

About 60 percent of Americans surveyed said the United States should not intervene in Syria’s civil war, while just 9 percent thought President Barack Obama should act.

Let’s see ….. Evil dictator has WMD’s and gases his own people.  Is Obama so lacking in imagination that he has to recycle Bush’s story from eleven years ago?

The summer of 2013 is over in a few days, and has had the fewest 40ºC temperature readings of any year in the last nine decades. There were only 832 40ºC temperatures recorded in 2013, compared to 8,357 in 1936.

2013 has also had the fewest tornadoes on record, and zero hurricanes through August.

Bottom line is that the summer of 2013 has blown away all records for being the mildest and least extreme summer on record in the US.

Obama says that he controls the climate, and has since June 2008. But now there are claims that Congressional Republicans control the climate.

The organization 350 Action and agency Barton F. Graf 9000 are proposing a Climate Name Change–a new system of identifying storms by the names of climate change deniers. Now it’s “Michelle Bachman” that’s ravaging the Florida coast, “Rick Perry” that’s led to the deaths of thousands of stranded animals, and John Boehner who has proved to be one of the costliest environmental disasters in American history. As the video below advises, you’d better sign the Climate Name Change petition asap “before John Boehner blows your entire city away.”

In the 17th century, it was well known that witches controlled the climate. We have advanced a long way since those days.

One thing we do know is that progressives are flaming imbeciles.

Pine forests burn naturally about every decade or so.

If you take out a 30 year mortgage on a home in the pine forest, you can expect to have your house burn three times during the life of the loan.

But at least you can call up your family and blame it on climate change.

The latest hysteria from California is that fire threatens a reservoir and 3,000 year old Sequoia trees which have survived hundreds of fires.

I’m pretty sure that water still doesn’t burn.

Before NOAA data tampering, January-August 2013 has been the twelfth coldest in the US since 1930.

NOAA is still obsessed with 2012, despite the fact that it was an outlier and not indicative of anything to do with climate.
