Real Climate Science

The BBC and the Met Office are upset people aren’t buying their anti-energy propaganda and hysteria based on two hot days last week – and apparently they are blaming some of the rejection of their propaganda on me.

“BBC meteorologist Matt Taylor said he had never experienced anything like it in nearly 25 years working in weather. The Royal Meteorological Society condemned the trolling. Most of the abuse seems to have been prompted as links were made between the heatwave and climate change.”

“Met Office lead meteorologist Alex Deakin said “it’s scary in some ways”, adding: “I find it more frustrating and offensive for my colleagues – some of the great minds in climate science. Show a bit of respect and do a bit more research rather than just believe Bob down the pub or Tony on YouTube.””

If “some of the great minds in climate science” knew what they were talking about, they would know that it wasn’t a heatwave at all.  According to the WMO, a heatwave lasts a minimum of five days.

“The World Meteorological Organization defines (heatwave) as five or more consecutive days during which the daily maximum temperature surpasses the average maximum temperature by 5 °C (9 °F) or more.”

In 1976, the UK had an actual heatwave – sixteen consecutive days averaging over 90F.

According to USA Today, NASA says “modern climate change” is caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

So what caused the last 4.5 billion years of climate change?

“The climates of the earth have always been changing, and they will doubtless continue to do so in the future. How large these future changes will be, and where and how rapidly they will occur, we do not know.”

“MOSCOW, July 26 (Reuters) – Russian energy giant Rosneft (ROSN.MM) said on Tuesday it has started construction of an Arctic oil terminal at the Bukhta Sever port, part of its huge Vostok Oil project, aimed at facilitating development of the Northern Sea Route.

The port will become Russia’s largest oil terminal with 102 reservoirs to be built by 2030, the company said.”

The new model is even more useless than the previous one.

“There could be more rainfall than snow in the Arctic in as little as 30 years because of the world’s changing climate, according to a new study that predicts the transition will happen decades earlier than previously anticipated.”

Hottest May Day in 116 Years.
90 Degrees in Alps~Glaciers Are Melting.

Paris, May 24 (By the Associated Press)—Paris today experienced the hottest May day in 116 years, the thermometer hitting 94 1-10 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade at 3:45 o’clock this afternoon. This city was one of many European capitals to experience a similar heat wave that began sweeping’ western Europe five days ago.

The heat here generated a peculiarly stifling haze, although the sky was blue throughout France, The Weather Bureau predicts continued heat with possibly an even higher temperature tomorrow

90 Degrees in Alps.

Geneva, May 24—The heat we the Alps region has broken a record for the month of May thermometer at a number of points today registering 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Snow and glaciers are melting rapidly and the Rhine and Rhone Rivers are rising. :

The press says Greenland’s Petermann Glacier is disappearing due to the use of fossil fuels and might not be able to recover.

More Damaging Than Previously Thought: Glaciers Might Not Be Able To Recover From Climate Change

Greenland’s Petermann Glacier has been growing about 1km per year for the last ten years.

The surface mass balance of Greenland has been above average for four of the last six years and almost every day this summer.
