Visualizing The Effects Of Missing Arctic Ice

Missing Arctic ice caused the northeast US to be very warm last year, and very cold this year.

CO2 and Arctic ice are very versatile in their effects on the climate system. Some years they even  cause normal temperatures.

Only 101 Degrees Need To Start The Meltdown

Temperatures on the Greenland ice sheet have dropped to 101 degrees F below the freezing point. This is exactly what we expect from an overheated atmosphere, and is a sure sign that the ice sheets are going to melt and drown us all.

There can be little doubt that NASA will make a big deal about the record cold, and that it will be widely covered by the press.

CO2 Is Probable Cause Of Stupidity

Probable Cause Are scientists too cautious to help us stop climate change?

BY KERRY EMANUEL | NOVEMBER 9, 2012

The world has suffered an extraordinary string of weather disasters over the past decade, ranging from crippling droughts and floods, to severe tornado and hail outbreaks, to highly destructive hurricanes. Insurance industry statistics reflect a substantial increase in damages from these events, but in only a few cases can scientists confidently attribute them to climate change. (For example, increased incidence of droughts, floods, and high category hurricanes may be partly pinned on climate change.)

But we know next to nothing about the relationship between climate change and other weather phenomena, such as tornadoes, and we have yet to establish a link to hybrid storms like Sandy. For all but a few of these phenomena, the scientifically correct conclusion is that we can’t rule out the possibility that they were purely manifestations of natural variability. But from a public policy perspective, it would be prudent to assume that climate change might be behind some of these changes, given that it is manifestly changing the environment in which these events develop.

Probable Cause – By Kerry Emanuel | Foreign Policy

There is no evidence that the weather has become more extreme over the last century. Hurricane strikes have declined in the US.

Emanuel’s entire thesis is based on flawed, lazy assumptions. He has no idea what he is talking about.

CO2 To Wreck The Military

The military is threatened by 0.0004 mole fraction CO2.

The Pentagon was warned on Friday to stand guard against “climate surprises” which could throw off its efforts to secure America’s future.

An expert report, prepared for the intelligence community by the National Academy of Sciences, warns that the security establishment is going to have start planning for natural disasters, sea-level rise, drought,epidemics and the other consequences of climate change.

A big climate surprise is coming during the next few weeks, when 300,000 defense contractors get laid off (right after the election.)
