Real Climate Science

Snow officially became a thing of the past in the UK during the year 2000, and it was due to man made greenhouse gases.

Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past

MONDAY 20 MARCH 2000

Global warming, the heating of the atmosphere by increased amounts of industrial gases, is now accepted as a reality by the international community.

……

“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is” …… Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia said

……

David Parker, at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Berkshire, says ultimately, British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes – or eventually “feel” virtual cold.

On September 11—the day Stevens and three other Americans were killed—the ambassador signed a three-page cable, labeled “sensitive,” in which he noted “growing problems with security” in Benghazi and “growing frustration” on the part of local residents with Libyan police and security forces. These forces the ambassador characterized as “too weak to keep the country secure.”

· Roughly a month earlier, Stevens had signed a two-page cable, also labeled “sensitive,” that he entitled “The Guns of August: Security in Eastern Libya.” Writing on August 8, the ambassador noted that in just a few months’ time, “Benghazi has moved from trepidation to euphoria and back as a series of violent incidents has dominated the political landscape … The individual incidents have been organized,” he added, a function of “the security vacuum that a diverse group of independent actors are exploiting for their own purposes.”

“Islamist extremists are able to attack the Red Cross with relative impunity,” Stevens cabled. “What we have seen are not random crimes of opportunity, but rather targeted and discriminate attacks.” His final comment on the two-page document was: “Attackers are unlikely to be deterred until authorities are at least as capable.”

After the ambassador was killed by terrorists, Obama responded by lying about the incident – and later arranging for Candy Crowley at CNN to help him lie about it on national television.

In 1934, six hundred billion pounds of dust covered 960 million acres of the US, and made it all the way to New York.

The Atlantic Ocean off the coast of New York was turned brown by the vast quantities of dust falling into the sea.

In March, CO2 made the area west of the Rockies below normal, and east of the Rockies above normal.  Now it is doing just the opposite.

CO2 has magical powers, which allow it to warp its manifestation into whatever the current weather pattern happens to be.

People were tampering with weather data for political purposes, long before Tom Karl and James Hansen started doing it.

it is the misuse of meteorological data …. that constitutes a crime against the community

The Three Stooges might want to learn a little history before twittering in their pants. Perhaps Andrew Freedman meant that AGW is a decelerant?

Dust Storms: “Dust Storm Near Beaver, Oklahoma.” (July 14, 1935)

The current drought is one of the least serious in Oklahoma history.

CO2 levels were a very safe 280 ppm.

The Great Storm of 1703 is arguably the most severe storm or natural disaster ever recorded in the southern part of Britain. It affected southern England and the English Channel. A 120-mph (193-km/h) perfect hurricane, it started on 24 November, and did not die down until 2 December 1703.

Observers at the time recorded barometric readings as low as 973 millibars (measured by William Derham in South Essex) but it has been suggested that the storm may have deepened to 950 millibars over the Midlands.

1703: The worst storm in British history

Temperatures during that time were sometimes cold enough to freeze over the Thames. Apparently the low CO2 levels loaded the dice for extreme weather.

USHCN thermometers show a significant decline in US temperatures since 1920, with 1921, 1931 and 1934 being the three hottest years.

NOAA decided that this simply wouldn’t do, so about a decade ago they started adjusting the data in the four steps shown below. Remarkably, each adjustment step causes the past to get cooler.

By the time they are done corrupting the data, they have hidden the decline and created a strong warming trend, with 1998, 1999 and 2006 being the three hottest years. Prior to corruption, 1999 and 2006 aren’t even in the top ten.

You can think of USHCN as being the Enron of US temperature data. The graph below shows the total adjustment. Note the massive cheat going on in  2012, which is needed to proclaim 2012 as the hottest year ever.
