The UK Met Office says that extreme cold this spring is caused by missing Arctic ice. Only they forgot to check whether or not the ice is actually missing.
It is great how climate scientists can develop a cause and effect relationship, skipping directly past the “cause” part.
97% of top government experts agree – There is no evidence of catastrophic climate change or global warming.
“The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t“

Last summer’s central Great Plains drought was caused primarily by natural climate variability, not human-caused climate change, a team of federal scientists concluded in a report released Thursday

Chris argued that any such influence (CO2 and hurricanes) is expected to be small today, almost certainly undetectable, and that this view is not particularly controversial among tropical cyclone climatologists. He concluded that hurricanes should not be the “poster” representing a human influence on climate.

the low number of tornadoes in 2012 may go down in the record books.
Ted Scambos, the lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado, said that even under the worst case scenario he thinks it would take at least 500 years for West Antarctica’s ice to melt.
The 5-year running mean global temperature hints at a slowdown in the global warming rate during the past few years.

For centuries it was believed that the Emperor had no clothing, but new research indicates that this was based on the testimony of one small child, who had no background in textiles or even retail clothing sales. He also had no formal education in clothing and had never published anything about fashion in a peer reviewed journal.
Furthermore, it has been discovered that more than 97% of the experts at the time agreed that the emperor had clothing. We can therefor safely conclude that the emperor was well clothed, and that the child was not competent to discuss his wardrobe.
‘Unqualified’ scientists stand to gain from hysteria of global warming
The Soapbox by Professor William Gray in the April 4 Coloradoan points out correctly the news media’s eagerness to embrace uncritically the catastrophic global warming scenarios. The Coloradoan is certainly guilty of endorsing the claims of unqualified “scientists” in this regard.
It is useful to understand the motives of people who make these claims. Suppose someone comes along and says to you: “Boy, do you have a problem. If you don’t do something about it, you’ll suffer a terrible fate. But wait! I have a solution; and if you’ll just give me some money (i.e. support my research in this case), I’ll show you how to avoid catastrophe.” This approach has been used successfully by charlatans, unscrupulous religious evangelists and snake oil salesmen. In the case of global warming alarmists, it has been used successfully to get research grants, so in the end, it’s all about money.

Met Office chief scientist Julia Slingo said climate change was “loading the dice” towards freezing, drier weather — and called publicly for the first time for an urgent investigation.
Prof Slingo said: “If you look at the way our weather patterns have behaved over the past four or five years, we’re beginning to think that there is something happening.
“Our climate is being disrupted by the warming of the Arctic that we have observed very dramatically since 2007.
“We should pull together the best scientists to see how we can detect the influence of the Arctic on the jet stream, and on weather around the world.”
Translation :
Our theory failed, so we made up a sciency sounding story which hopefully will keep our funding coming in. Now we need lots of money to produce fake evidence that our fake theory is correct.

Ice melt is worst in 1,000 years
THE melting of ice on the Antarctic Peninsula during the summer months is now at its highest level for 1,000 years, according to research. Scientists have for the first time been able to demonstrate that increasing temperatures since the 1960s have caused 10 times more ice to melt than in medieval times
Antarctic sea ice area has been increasing and above normal for more than 500 consecutive days, so the experts chime in with a claim of record melt.

The Weddell Sea (adjacent to the Antarctic Peninsula) had double the normal amount of sea ice this summer. That is because it was exceptionally cold.

Claiming information from multiple sources that ought to require the resignations of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and State Police Superintendent Joe D’Amico, WBEN Buffalo radio host Tom Bauerle yesterday told listeners he’s had it confirmed that New York State Police are lying when they say they made a mistake when they confiscated an Erie County resident’s guns. Instead, Bauerle charges, there is a high-level conspiracy to violate the Fourth Amendment rights of New Yorkers that reaches up to the Obama administration’s Department of Homeland Security.
The claim by the Erie County Clerk that New York State Police had simply provided “bad information” resulting in permit revocation and the confiscation of Amherst resident David Lewis’ guns is not true, Bauerle insists. “I’ve had it confirmed; the New York State Police are lying about him not being the guy they wanted.”
Police weren’t expecting Lewis to get a lawyer, Bauerle says, especially one who knows the Second Amendment.
“They had the guy they wanted,” Bauerle maintains, calling the official excuse “nonsense” and charging Gov. Cuomo “is a monomaniac on the subject of guns.” What happened, he explains, is that the state has a special HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) unit to search private medical records without warrants, and that Lewis was simply the first person to be caught up in that net.
It’s a scheme “to deprive New York citizens of basic protections,” Bauerle charges, where the state wants “carte blanche to look at every person’s medical records and cross-reference them with pistol permit holders” for purposes of confiscation and permit revocation. According to Baurele, his sources tell him this is being coordinated with officials in the Department of Homeland Security, and there was a meeting in Albany with the New York State Police and the Division of Criminal Justice Services “at the impetus of DHS.”
Bauerle alleges there is “a clandestine squad” violating the Fourth Amendment and circumventing HIPAA privacy protections in order to revoke pistol permits from those who have been prescribed anti-depressants or who have undergone mental health treatment, calling that “tyranny, plainly and simply.”
Max Tresmond, the son of Lewis’ attorney Jim Tresmond, joined the program and told Bauerle their law firm is having information leaked to them from inside the state “that confirms everything that you just conveyed to the public.”
As for next steps, the host and his guest advocated for continuing the investigation, having citizens demand a special prosecutor to investigate the allegations of “a plan to systematically violate the Fourth Amendment,” and also put out a call for more whistleblowers to “come forward,” guaranteeing protection of confidentiality.

Over the past decade, April Arctic sea ice area has been increasing – with four of the five highest years occurring after 2008.

Actual data is not important to some climate scientists, who claim that the unprecedented cold weather in April 2013 is due to “rapidly melting Arctic Ice.”
