Hansen says that the probability of bad heatwaves is close to zero below 350 PPM, which must be why the worst heatwave in history occurred at 304 PPM.

Marble Bar heatwave, 1923-24

The world record for the longest sequence of days above 100°Fahrenheit (or 37.8° on the Celsius scale) is held by Marble Bar in the inland Pilbara district of Western Australia. The temperature, measured under standard exposure conditions, reached or exceeded the century mark every day from 31 October 1923 to 7 April 1924, a total of 160 days.

Since earth hit Hansen’s magic number of 350 ppm CO2, global temperature changes have tailed off – and now have a negative slope. If CO2 is the Earth’s thermostat, then it is broken and someone needs to call the repairman.

According to NOAA, the winter of 2011-2012 was the third most extreme on record in the Northeastern US

This is beyond absurd, because there was essentially no extreme weather that winter. I was living in Columbia, Maryland and did not have a car. I rode my bicycle every day. There were never any weather conditions which interfered with my cycling for more than an hour or two.

Below is the summary for the winter. Temperatures varied between 13F and 70F. There were no strong winds, or very heavy rain or snow events. The weather was almost picture perfect.

In 1988, Hansen predicted a crime wave in twenty years

While doing research 12 or 13 years ago, I met Jim Hansen, the scientist who in 1988 predicted the greenhouse effect before Congress. I went over to the window with him and looked out on Broadway in New York City and said, “If what you’re saying about the greenhouse effect is true, is anything going to look different down there in 20 years?” He looked for a while and was quiet and didn’t say anything for a couple seconds. Then he said, “Well, there will be more traffic.” I, of course, didn’t think he heard the question right. Then he explained, “The West Side Highway will be under water. And there will be tape across the windows across the street because of high winds. And the same birds won’t be there. The trees in the median strip will change.” Then he said, “There will be more police cars.” Why? “Well, you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up.”

So what actually happened?

January 25, 2013

As of 6:20 a.m. on Friday, New York City, with temperatures dropping as low as 11 degrees in recent days, had been murder-free for about 221 hours, a period of more than nine days. The cold, perhaps, pacified a city accustomed, on average, to more than a murder a day.

Hansen has no idea what he is talking about, which is why he is a hero of the left.

On Monday Huhne and Vicky Pryce, to whom he was married for 26 years, will spend a final afternoon together in the dock at Southwark Crown Court for sentencing. Both are likely to be sent to jail. Huhne will take the opportunity to try to get in the last word. In mitigation, if all goes according to plan, he will accuse Pryce of lying over her claims – made during her trial – that he forced her to have one abortion and tried to make her have another.

31 May 1947 – ARCTIC CLIMATE’S ALARMING CHANGE

Gore said the single most common criticism he’d gotten from deniers of his global-warming claims was regarding the animation showing ocean water flowing into the World Trade Center memorial site. “It happened as of last October, way ahead of schedule,” he said, referring to Superstorm Sandy.

Actually he missed by almost 200 years. An 1821 storm surge also covered the WTC site.

In 1821, stunned colonial New Yorkers recorded sea levels rising as fast as 13 feet in a single hour at the Battery. The East River and Hudson Rivers merged over Lower Manhattan all the way to Canal Street. According to Coch, the fact that the 1821 storm struck at low tide “is the only thing that saved the city.”

Apparently Gore thinks we should measure mean sea level during storm surges.
