10-Day Temperature Outlook

Earth is about the same size as Venus, but temperatures are much cooler here. The primary difference between Earth and Venus is that we have oceans which absorb CO2 and form limestone – CACO3. Without the massive limestone deposits we have on Earth, the atmosphere would be much denser and temperatures would be much higher.

Venus is too close to the Sun to have liquid water. The water evaporated away, so volcanic CO2 kept accumulating, and their atmosphere became 100X more dense that of Earth.

The world’s leading climatologist – James Hansen – based his PhD dissertation on the idea that Venus was hot because of aerosols. Carl “Reefer Madness” Sagan later convinced him that Venus was hot because of a “runaway greenhouse effect” and now Hansen says the exact opposite – that Chinese aerosols make earth cool.

In order to become the world’s leading climatologist, you have to demonstrate that you have no clue about atmospheric physics.

Despite the overwhelming consensus among climate experts that human activity is contributing to rising global temperatures, 66 percent of Americans incorrectly believe there is “a lot of disagreement among scientists about whether or not global warming is happening.” The conservative media has fueled this confusion by distorting scientific research, hyping faux-scandals, and giving voice to groups funded by industries that have a financial interest in blocking action on climate change. Meanwhile, mainstream media outlets have shied away from the “controversy” over climate change and have failed to press U.S. policymakers on how they will address this global threat. When climate change is discussed, mainstream outlets sometimes strive for a false balance that elevates marginal voices and enables them to sow doubt about the science even in the face of mounting evidence.

The consensus agrees that humans are driving the increase in temperatures, except for the minor detail that temperatures aren’t increasing.

They should have held the global warming negotiations in Alaska, so they could all see the horrors of global warming for themselves – at the canary in the coal mine.

It is difficult to get the climate to agree to treaties, as the climate doesn’t really care what a bunch of mindless deluded morons discuss in Doha.

Perhaps they should start with smaller steps, like restoring the weather in Buffalo, New York to pre-1988 conditions.

If Chelsea was an NFL team, they would have six points now from two wonderful field goals by Ramires and Luiz. Ramires cleared the bar by a good 30 feet.

Global warming can bring heavy snow, light snow or no snow.

Used to be, New England winters were big snow years or low snow years — but never no snow years. The New England skier was not raised to consider snow an unreliable occurrence.

But after a winter with little more than trace amounts of snow, which followed a winter of record snowfalls, it is hard to have clear expectations as ski season begins.

Today marks 365 consecutive days of above normal Antarctic sea ice. According to climate geniuses Jeff Masters and Bill McKitten, the odds against this are an astronomical 2^365 to one.

A few weeks ago, NSIDC featured an article explaining how declining sea ice cover threatens Penguins. Apparently they forgot to check the data before publishing that article.
