About half the population of Oklahoma fled the state in the 1930s because of the heat and drought. PBS has been trying to blame the 1930s heat and drought on “bad farming practices” by farmers.

They somehow forgot to mention that the Dust Bowl only covered a small percentage of Oklahoma and the drought area.

The US has been hit by thirty major hurricanes during the month of August since 1850. Eighty percent of these occurred with CO2 below 350 PPM, and two-thirds of them occurred before JFK was president.

The two category 5 August hurricanes were Camille in 1969 and Andrew in 1992.

The NOAA US Climate Extremes Index shows that 2012 maximum summer temperatures were tied for the highest on record.

Extremes | U.S. Climate Extremes Index (CEI)

This is utter nonsense. According to GHCN US data, the summer of 2012 had the 21st hottest maximum temperatures, was more than 1C cooler than 1936, and was cooler than most of the years in the 1930s.

The next graph overlays the HCN data on the CEI data. The match isn’t too bad until about the year 2000, when NOAA started fabricating data to pump the numbers up.

NOAA shows the summer of 2006 as being 7th hottest on record, when in fact it was the 82nd hottest.

The EPA says that summers in the 1930s were much hotter than any summers prior to 2009. Why does NOAA think they can get away with lying about this?

Heat waves occurred with high frequency in the 1930s, and these remain the most severe heat waves in the U.S. historical record (see Figure 1)

Having been vanquished by reality, US scientists backed by the White House have begun brazenly lying about the state of the climate.

Climate scientists in the United States say extreme weather events and warming temperatures are the new norm.

The American Meteorological Society has released its annual snapshot of the world’s climate, which concludes disastrous weather events like Hurricane Sandy in the US and droughts and floods in Australia, Africa and South America will become more frequent.

The report lists a raft of indicators that show a continuously warming planet where ice sheets and glaciers will keep shrinking, and sea and land temperatures will keep rising to record levels.

Jeff Masters says that the 0.00* degree temperature rise over the last 17 years is 10X faster than any time in history, and that it is already causing rats and cockroaches and pigeons to take over the planet.

They probably beat him to death with skittles. Obama will certainly make a speech about this any time now.
