Real Climate Science

Scientists have known since at least 1924, that catastrophic fires are the result of fire suppression by humans. Ponderosa Pine crown fires didn’t occur before people started protecting nature.

Richard Muller pretended to be a skeptic, and obtained money on that basis. Then he claimed to have proved global warming.

He just forgot to mention that he never was a skeptic.

“Let me be clear. My own reading of the literature and study of paleoclimate suggests strongly that carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels will prove to be the greatest pollutant of human history. It is likely to have severe and detrimental effects on global climate.” –

“It is ironic if some people treat me as a traitor, since I was never a skeptic”

Richard Muller, Climate Researcher, Navigates The Volatile Line Between Science And Skepticism

Obtaining money based on false pretenses. Isn’t  there a word for that?

Global warming appears to have slowed lately. That’s no reason to celebrate.

NSIDC likes to pretend that there is no satellite data for Arctic ice prior to 1979.

This makes for scary graphs showing disappearing Arctic ice, which are highly misleading.

The 1990 IPCC report had satellite data going back much earlier than 1979, which showed that Arctic peaked in that year, and was much lower in 1974.

If NSIDC used all of the available data, their scary story wouldn’t look so scary. Starting their graphs during the peak ice year is pretty dodgy.

NASA reported last year that 97% of the Greenland ice sheet melted. You can see the before and after pictures here :

First picture is June 9, 2012

Next picture is June 14, 2013 – a year after the catastrophic meltdown.  Note how there is an additional three metres of snow now.

Trenberth claims that the missing heat has sunk to the bottom of the ocean. This defies basic physics and common sense.

Any place where surface water is more than 5C, the density decreases as the temperature warms. Heating the surface of the ocean will not make the water sink.

The only place where warm water sinks below cold water is at the surface near the poles. At one bar, 5C water is more dense than 0C water. However at 100 bars, the density of 0C water is highest.

Bill Clinton has been pushing Obama to do something incredibly stupid in Syria. Obama took the bait.

I wonder if this is payback for Obama trying to blame Hillary for Benghazi?

Oct. 25, 2012

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered additional security for the U.S. mission in Benghaziahead of the terrorist attack but the orders were never carried out, according to “legal counsel” to Clinton who spoke to best-selling author Ed Klein. Those same sources also say former President Bill Clinton has been “urging” his wife to release official State Department documents that prove she called for additional security at the compound in Libya, which would almost certainly result in President Obama losing the election.
