Real Climate Science

The graph below shows the number of daily US temperature readings over 40C, recorded at all 595 HCN stations continuously active since 1900.

NOAA and GISS claim that the 2011/2012 heatwaves were unprecedented, when in fact they weren’t even in the top ten. In 1936, there were four times as many records of 40C+ as were measured in 2011 or 2012. The graph above updates the EPA graph below to 2012.

The US was much hotter during the 1930s, and NOAA and GISS are determined to rewrite history.

The claim that sea level rise has increased since the 2007 IPCC meeting, is complete garbage. The post 2007 trend (light blue) is less than the 1993-2007 (red) trend.

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — The first victim was found in the gutter of a quiet residential street, just as the killer was shedding blood again on the campus of a nearby community college.

Wielding some kind of sharp-edged weapon, he killed a community college instructor before taking his own life in front of a classroom of students.

Police wouldn’t speculate on a motive for the murder-suicide and said little about how it all developed Friday at Casper College and in a neighborhood about two miles away. They hinted, however, that the three knew each another.

Casper Police Chief Chris Walsh said an “edged weapon” was used in at least one of the killings. He didn’t say more about what type of weapon it was and whether the killer used the same weapon in all of the deaths.

News from The Associated Press

This is a climate related disaster. I had a roommate in college during the 1970s from Casper, and he told me that they had a very high suicide rate because of the constant infernal wind – which drove people nuts. It is clear that strict gun control and CO2 reductions could have prevented this knife tragedy.

The new normal is to ramp up the lies further with each sentence.

Climate Change Seas rising 60 percent faster

PARIS, Nov 28, 2012 (AFP) – Sea levels are rising 60-percent faster than the UN’s climate panel forecast in its most recent assessment, scientists reported on Wednesday.

At present, sea levels are increasing at an average 3.2 millimetres (0.125 inches) per year, a trio of specialists reported in the journal Environmental Research Letters. This compares with a “best estimate” by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007, which projected that by today, the rise would be 2 mm (0.078 inches) per year. The new figure converges with a widely-shared opinion that the world is heading for sea-level rise of around a metre (3.25 feet) by century’s end, co-author Grant Foster of US firm Tempo Analytics told AFP

Sea level rise has slowed since 2007, and even with the phony current numbers he used – there would only be 30 cm of rise by the end of the century.

Climate scientists better hope that there isn’t a hell. What a bunch of scumbags. I am so sick of them telling lies and having them parroted by the useful idiots in the press.

“We need a constitutional amendment that would allow the legislature to control the so-called free speech rights of corporations,” Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) was quoted as saying by CNS News.

In 2010, he warned the military that Guam was going to capsize from the weight of soldiers.

The great thing about America is that any mentally defective person can get a top job as a Democrat in Washington.

There have been quite a few commenters here recently saying that I have no credentials to do complex mathematical operations like counting record highs and lows.

Assuming that they passed second grade and know how to count, why don’t they prove me wrong – instead of making childish ad hom attacks.

I am starting a new programming contract with a Canadian company, and they are restricting the number of hours I can work for now, because “they don’t know what is going to happen to exchange rates as the fiscal cliff deadline approaches.”

The most important thing to remember is that criticizing Obama is racist.

Paul Homewood reminded me of the EPA graph below, which shows that heatwaves during the 1930s were much worse than recent years.

Hansen is of course undaunted by facts, and is claiming that bad heatwaves never used to happen.

The distribution of seasonal mean temperature anomalies has shifted toward higher temperatures and the range of anomalies has increased.

An important change is the emergence of a category of summertime extremely hot outliers, more than three standard deviations (?) warmer than climatology.

This hot extreme, which covered much less than 1% of Earth’s surface in the period of climatology, now typically covers about 10% of the land area.

We conclude that extreme heat waves, such as that in Texas and Oklahoma in 2011 and Moscow in 2010, were “caused” by global warming, because their likelihood was negligible prior to the recent rapid global warming. We discuss practical implications of this substantial, growing climate change.

This is complete nonsense. According to the EPA graph below, the heatwaves of the 1930s were more than three standard deviations warmer than climatology.

USEPA

Heat waves occurred with high frequency in the 1930s, and these remain the most severe heat waves in the U.S. historical record  (see Figure 1). Many years of intense drought (the “Dust Bowl”) contributed to these heat waves by depleting soil moisture and reducing the moderating effects of evaporation.

• There is no clear trend over the entire period tracked by the index. Although it is hard to see in Figure 1 (because of the extreme events of the 1930s), heat wave frequency decreased in the 1960s and 1970s but has risen since then (see Figure 1).

GHCN HCN records show that the summer of 2011 in Oklahoma was not as hot as 1934, and that the summer of 2012 wasn’t even in the top ten.

Hansen knows that what he is saying now isn’t true. He wrote the text below in 1999.

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath…..

Yesterday, the leading Pakistani global warming official announced that the Greenland ice sheet melted in just four days this summer.

The golf pro at the Greenland Country Club has reports that this announcement is devastating their business. People used to travel half way around the world to putt their famous white greens.

Golfers coming off the 18th hole today have been reporting that conditions are excellent and that the beer is cold.
