temperatures in the Arctic have increased by 10 degrees Fahrenheit since 1900. An ‘enormous’ rise from the scientific standpoint. Waters in the Spitsbergen area, in the same period, have risen from three to five degrees in temperature, and one to one and a half millimetres yearly in level. ‘The Arctic change is so serious that I hope an international agency can speedily be formed to study conditions on a global basis.’

31 May 1947 – ARCTIC CLIMATE’S ALARMING CHANGE

This shocking news followed on the heels of the March 15, 1946 cherry blossom catastrophe.

Late-season freeze sets Baltic ice record

Ice breakers navigating the Gulf of Bothnia have been astounded at the record spread of ice on the Baltic Sea, while scientists say they have never seen anything like it.

“Since record keeping began in the sixties, we’ve never encountered anything like this before,” ice breaker Ulf Gulldne told the local newspaper Örnsköldsviks Allehanda.

On March 29th, 176,000 square kilometers of the Baltic Sea was covered in ice, a record for the time of year. On a map, it means about half of the central and northern parts are frozen over. Far north, the ice is both thick and difficult to break through.

End of March Northern Hemisphere snow cover has been increasing since Hansen’s 1988 Congressional testimony, and four of the last five years have been above normal.

This year has the most extensive end of March snow cover since 1996.

NOAA forecasts for January-March were almost exactly inverted.

This is what they forecast :

Forecasting doesn’t get any worse than that.

Warm temperatures in DC and Chicago during the winter of 2011-2012 proved global warming. But CO2 has taken  a vacation this year.

Also, ignore the worse than Afghanistan murder rates in gun-free Chicago and DC.

scientists and policymakers draw on the past to predict the future. Until now, they have therefore placed much weight on the rapid temperature increases in the Eighties and Nineties. But for at least a decade, these have dramatically slowed, even as carbon dioxide emissions have continued to increase.

Falling temperatures mean global warming has slowed

Falling still means rising

None of this justifies the frequent claim by climate sceptics that global warming has stopped, and may now reverse. Long lulls have occurred before, only for temperatures to resume their relentless rise.

The relentless rise in stupidity among the press over the last couple of decades is indeed a phenomenon. Earth’s temperature regularly cycles about 12C. The unprecedented  0.6C warming over the last 150 years is 97% due to junk science and a dumbed down populace.

Obama’s definition of “hope and change” appears to be “frighten them into submission through division and continuous fearmongering.”

He seems to be particularly fond of making Americans afraid of each other. That is what he calls “unity.”

Climate experts tell us that global warming brings an early spring and early cherry blossoms to DC.

Record cold this morning, cherry blossoms shivering but surviving

In 1946, the trees had bloomed by March 15.

Thanks to global warming, the trees are blooming three weeks later than they did seven decades ago.
