Real Climate Science

The “most important” months for Arctic ice are May, June, July – the months when the sun is highest in the sky.

Last year, southerly winds blew the Beaufort Sea open in June, causing the dark water to absorb a lot of sunshine and warm up. When the storm came through in August, this warm water mixed with Arctic Basin ice and melted a lot of it.

This year, the Beaufort Sea is completely clogged with ice, and is reflecting most of the 24×7 sunlight back into space. Alarmists are hoping for a big melt this summer, but it isn’t going to happen.

Twitter / ClimateOfGavin: With Arctic sea ice melt season …

We are actually almost two thirds of the way through the melt season.

Advances are made by people who think outside the box.

That idea is stupid. We have always lived in caves.

Buckeye, Arizona is just west of Phoenix.  From June 11 to July 6 1974, it was over 110F every day except for one. Temperatures reached 116F on 13 days. Peak temperature was 119F on June 23.

1974 was also the peak year of the global cooling scare, the worst tornado outbreak in US history, and the year Darwin, Australia was destroyed by a typhoon.

Every week Obama announces a new crisis which requires new dictatorial powers.

• Despite the fact that gun crime is way down, we were having a gun crisis
• Then the sequester crisis
• The the we have to spy on you to save you from terrorists crisis
• This week is the we have to kill off coal crisis

Despite the fact that coal has been in use for hundreds of years  suddenly this week it became a crisis.

Obama has clearly departed the world of the sane, though it is doubtful he was ever in it. He has some bizarre need to feel like he is saving the planet from one imaginary emergency after another.

Meanwhile, he drives the country towards bankruptcy and future energy shortages.

February 1936 was the coldest month in US history. July 1936 was the hottest. Thousands of people died from the heat that summer. The year was plagued with record heat, cold, drought, fires and floods.

75% of the US is below normal temperatures this year, and Obama tells the American people that dictatorial action is needed to keep the US from overheating.

In July, 1989, I drove my German Shepherd from Flagstaff to Newport Beach in my Honda Civic with no a/c. It was 122F in Needles and I brought a few gallons of water to pour on the dog and keep her cool. Temperature was 68F in LA when we arrived that evening.

In July 2006 I drove with one of my kids from Cupertino to Fort Collins in a different car with no a/c. It was 115F in Sacramento. At Donner Summit it was cold.

Hot temperatures like this happen all the time in California and Arizona. No one used to think anything of it, until McKibben et al drove everybody looney.

Death Valley is 121F this afternoon.

In July 1913, they hit 134 F – during a week which averaged 129F for the high.

The only world record is the amount of nonsense being repeated by the press over every weather event.
