Real Climate Science

“During his first 18 months as governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney spent considerable time hammering out a sweeping climate change plan to reduce the state’s greenhouse gas emissions.

As staff briefed him on possible measures and environmentalists pressed him to act, Romney frequently repeated a central thought, people at those meetings said: That climate change is occurring, that the United States has the resources to handle its vast impact but that low-lying poor countries like Bangladesh would suffer greatly.”

His policies must have worked.  Bangladesh is still there.

“Oslo A remarkable thinning out of the polar ice cap in the Antarctic is reported by a Norwegian expedition which found bare stretches of earth on an island thickly covered with ice only 20 years ago.

Holgersen said observations on Peter I island showed that many glaciers had been considerably reduced since 1929. Many places which were covered with snow and ice at that time are now bare. “

A Warmer World.

SOME great world change is taking place on the Antarctic Continent. Its glaciers are shrinking. Commander L.A. Bernacchi, who visited the South Polar land 30 years ago, says that the Great Ice Barrier which fronts the continent with a wall of ice for 250 miles has receded at least 30 miles since it was first seen and surveyed.

Sir James Ross, who went out on the earliest Antarctic expedition of the nineteenth century, and those who followed him, left clear descriptions of this tremendous ice frontage and its position. It was a cliff 150ft. high and 1000ft. thick. But now it appears to be continuing its century-long process of shrinking; and that process may have been going on for centuries. It might imply, unless it is offset by some increase of ice in another less explored part of the Antarctic, that the climate of the South Pole is changing and becoming warmer.

The shrinkage of the Alpine glaciers of Europe is a well-known and carefully measured fact. Professor Buchanan, of Edinburgh, drew attention to it twenty years ago, and showed from old and accurate drawings of the Lower Orindelwald, the Rhone, and the Morteratcch glaciers that they were retreating rapidly. ”

Building back better in France.

“French President Emmanuel Macron listens to explanations as he visits the STMicroelectronics (STM) company in Crolles, southeastern France, Tuesday July 12, 2022.”

Macron urges French to turn off lights and brace for Russian gas cut

Not quite as convincing as Michael Dukakis in 1988.

In 1998 I managed a project for ST Microelectronics and visited their Meylan site, a few km away from Crolles. Grenoble is famous for pizza and Jaune Claude Killy winning all three Olympic skiing events in 1968.

(Reuters) – The multiyear ice covering the Arctic Ocean has effectively vanished, a startling development that will make it easier to open up polar} shipping routes, an Arctic expert said on Thursday.

Vast sheets of impenetrable multiyear ice, which can reach up to 80 meters (260 feet) thick, have for centuries blocked the path of ships seeking a quick short cut through the fabled Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific.”

Multiyear Arctic ice is effectively gone: expert | Reuters

New York Times 1958

“Some scientists estimate that the polar ice pack is 40 per cent thinner and 12 per cent less in area than it was a half-century ago, and that even within the lifetime of our children the Arctic Ocean may open, enabling ships to sail over the North Pole, as the submarines ‘Nautilus and Skate recently sailed under it. A ship bound from New York to Tokyo would save 2,500 miles by turning left outside the Nar- rows and sailing past Greenland in- stead of through the Panama Canal.

Although the idea that a solid ice sheet covers the central Arctic has lingered stubbornly in the popular fancy, the northern cap of ice worn by our planet is actually a thin crust— on the whole, only about seven feet thick—over an ocean two miles deep in places.”

Someone posted this comment on my most recent video.

“Got into an argument with a person about climate change today….he said for every Tony Heller he has 100 scientists that say the opposite….I told him I believe in quality not quantity….thank you for your high quality information tony.”

My observation is the climate scam is being promoted in academia by a very small group, like Michael Mann and Katharine Hayhoe who are quoted over and over again.  If you get in a discussion like this, I suggest asking the other person to name their “hundred scientists.”  They will be lucky to name two of them.

When the publication  “100 authors against Einstein” was published he responded :

“”to defeat relativity one did not need the word of 100 scientists, just one fact.”

“In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.”

– Galileo Galilei

“Have no respect whatsoever for authority; forget who said it and instead look what he starts with, where he ends up, and ask yourself, “Is it reasonable?””

– Richard P. Feynman

Michael Crichton said :

“the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.”

I’ve been trying to find a climate scientist who is willing to debate me live.  So far none of Barack Obama’s 97% of (millions of) scientists have been willing to do that.

July 13 Arctic sea ice extent is almost identical to the same date in 1995.

The 1990 and 1995 IPCC reports showed no ice loss from 1972-1995, but the 1995 IPCC report massively altered the data to show a decline.

“The American Navy Joint Ice Center has produced weekly charts which have been digitised by NOAA …..  Since about 1976 the areal extent of sea-ice in the Northern Hemisphere has varied about a constant climatological level but in 1972-1975 sea-ice extent was significantly less.

July 13 is one of the hottest days of the year in the US.

On July 13, 1954 the average maximum temperature across the US was 95F (35C.) Kansas was 120F. Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas were over 110F. Twenty-nine states were over 100F and forty-four states were over 90F.

On July 13, 1936 the average maximum temperature across the US was 94F (34C.) California, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin and Minnesota were over 110F. Thirty states were over 100F and forty-two states were over 90F.
