“There are three kinds of lies : lies, damned lies and statistics”
– Benjamin Disraeli

“Analysis of warming since 1881 shows most of the increase in global temperature happened before 1919 — before the more recent sharp rise in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, said Thomas Karl, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climate Data Center in Asheville, N. C.

While global climate warmed overall since 1881, it actually cooled from 1921 to 1979, Karl said.

“In spite of all the well-publicized concern about global warming, you must understand that there is still considerable uncertainty among scientific experts about a number of critical factors which determine global warming,” NOAA administrator John Knauss said in a statement issued for the geophysics meeting.”

Now NOAA shows almost 0.4C warming from 1921 to 1979

Western governments are developing energy policy based on the misguided rantings of children, instead of listening to the people who have been providing the energy for well over 100 years.

Drawing a straight line through cyclical data is one way to mislead.

Hiding the inconvenient data before 1979 is another way to mislead.

“The American Navy Joint Ice Center has produced weekly charts which have been digitised by NOAA …..  Since about 1976 the areal extent of sea-ice in the Northern Hemisphere has varied about a constant climatological level but in 1972-1975 sea-ice extent was significantly less.

1990 IPCC Report

Between 1990 and 2001, the IPCC rewrote the Arctic sea ice satellite record, and changed a trend of ice increasing to ice decreasing.

In the 1985 DOE Report ice increased from the 1950s to the 1970s.

 in 1958, the USS Skate surfaced at the North Pole. Arctic sea ice averaged two meters thick.

“At 9:47 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Aug. 11, 1958, the 265-foot-long Skate the third nuclear-powered submarine in the American fleet poked through a break in the ice near the North Pole. Soon after, Admiral Calvert, then a commander, radioed the news to headquarters in New London, Conn.”

Now the ice is two meters thick.

When Stonehenge was built, there was less ice in the Arctic and trees grew all the way to the edge of the Arctic Ocean.

The current IPCC report says snow cover is declining due to human influence.

“Over recent decades, widespread loss of snow and ice has been observed, and several elements of the cryosphere are now in states unseen in centuries (high confidence). Human influence was very likely the main driver of observed reductions in Arctic sea ice since the late 1970s”

Snow cover is at a record high.

Snow cover in South America reached an all-time record high earlier this year.

Snow cover in Australia and New Zealand has also been far above normal this year

In 2008 the Australian Bureau of Meteorology announced the permanent drought in Southeast Australia. Now they are flooded and had the coldest spring in thirty years.

This drought may never break
