During the 1970s ice age scare, climate scientists blamed deep dips in the jet stream and extreme weather on global cooling. Now they blame them on global warming.

During cooler climatic periods, however, the high-altitude winds are broken up into irregular cells by weaker and more plentiful pressure centers, causing formation of a “meridional circulation” pattern. These small, weak cells may stagnate over vast areas for many months, bringing unseasonably cold weather on one side and unseasonably warm weather on the other. Droughts and floods become more frequent and may alternate season to season, as they did last year in India. Thus, while the hemisphere as a whole is cooler, individual areas may alternately break temperature and precipitation records at both extremes.

If global temperatures should fall even further, the effects could be considerably more drastic.

New York, NY (CFAM) — From the stage at the recent Women Deliver conference, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s daughter Chelsea revealed that her much-admired maternal grandmother was the child of unwed teenage parents who “did not have access to services that are so crucial that Planned Parenthood helps provide.”

May 2013 was the globe’s 3rd warmest May since records began in 1880, according to NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center (NCDC).

NOAA says that May was in the top 2%!

Global satellite-measured temperatures in May 2013 for the lowest 8 km of the atmosphere were 12th or 11th warmest in the 35-year record

Satellites say that May barely cracked the top 30%.

Then after claiming that May was super hot, Masters goes on to blame extreme May weather on intrusions of cold from the Arctic, which he blamed on Arctic warmth.

Unusually low May snow cover allows the Arctic to heat up much more rapidly than usual, decreasing the temperature difference between the Equator and the Arctic, potentially leading to extreme jet stream configurations, according to research by Dr. Jennifer Francis of Rutgers. An extreme jet stream configuration was responsible for the record $22 billion floods in Central Europe in late May and early June, and it is possible that the unusually low May Northern Hemisphere snow cover contributed to the unusual jet stream behavior.

Makes sense if you have the IQ of a turnip.

Obama told us over five years ago that he had slowed the rise of the oceans.

I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that …. this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal

But yesterday he said that isn’t true.

Obama: ‘Peace with justice means refusing to condemn our children to a harsher, less hospitable planet…For the grim alternative affects all nations. More severe storms, more famine and floods, new waves of refugees, coastlines that vanish, oceans that rise.’

Sea level has been rising for 20,000 years, but Obama is going to stop it now.

President Obama’s top climate adviser on Wednesday vowed that “meaningful” action on global warming was coming soon.

Heather Zichal, the deputy assistant to the president on energy and climate change, said she didn’t want to get “in front of the big man” and unveil specific plans during an event in Washington, D.C., hosted by The New Republic.

“The era of delay and denial is over,” she said.

PIOMAS shows that Arctic ice used to gain about one metre thickness per winter, and now it gains half that much.

That makes no sense, because thicker ice insulates the water surface better and inhibits ice formation. We should see more ice formation now because the ice starts the winter thinner, insulates the water less, and thus more heat transfers from the water to the air. More heat loss from the water means more ice formation.
