Real Climate Science

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.

The summer of 2013 is blowing away all cold records north of 80N

Reggie has been spamming all day about “insanely hot weather melting the ice at the McKenzie River delta”

Temperatures today offshore of the McKenzie River delta were more than 2.5C below normal.

The NW Passage Rowing team has been generating publicity all over the world, claiming that they can row through the Arctic because global warming has melted the ice.

Now we find out that what they are actually doing. They are hoping to find some narrow leads near shore, to get the boat through without letting the press know that there is actually tons of ice.

The animation above shows how ice in the Beaufort Sea is getting packed tightly up against the Canadian coast.  Drift forecasts for the next week indicate that this pattern will continue.

The Northwest Passage rowers are facing 100% concentration ice, which is being further aggravated by a strong drift of multi-year ice from the pole. The ice is moving south at a rate of over 1000 feet per hour. Their boat will almost certainly get crushed if they try to row through it.
