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)

Great Depression Picture – A Dust Storm in Oklahoma

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

Oklahoma, Palmer Modified Drought Index (PMDI), 24-Month Period Ending in September, 1897-2012

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.

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.

Why am I in Colorado this weekend, instead of London?

This is “Kick It Out” weekend in English football, which is well timed after the ugly display by Serbia on Tuesday.

We should extend the campaign to the US, and kick the race-baiter-in-chief out of the White House.

During 2011, Princess McKitten had a lumpy climate, stuffed with too many tornadoes and storms. She complained to her mother Gaia, who delivered a dozen thick mattresses which buffered the Princess from those nasty storms.

The Princess then went back to Mother Gaia, and complained that there were too few tornadoes and storms.

Mother Gaia then banished the Princess from the kingdom for being a moron.

This month has set the record for fastest Arctic ice growth in history. It also has seen the greatest ice extent ever measured at either pole. The only possible explanation is that another ice age is on the way.

TIME Magazine : Another Ice Age?

June 24, 1974

In Africa, drought continues for the sixth consecutive year, adding terribly to the toll of famine victims. During 1972 record rains in parts of the U.S., Pakistan and Japan caused some of the worst flooding in centuries. In Canada’s wheat belt, a particularly chilly and rainy spring has delayed planting and may well bring a disappointingly small harvest. Rainy Britain, on the other hand, has suffered from uncharacteristic dry spells the past few springs. A series of unusually cold winters has gripped the American Far West, while New England and northern Europe have recently experienced the mildest winters within anyone’s recollection.

After doing everything he could to wreck the coal industry :

Obama is running radio ads in Ohio touting his record as a coal champion.

Last election he had a different story.

“If somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can, it’s just that (my plan)  will bankrupt them.”

Obama hopes that Americans are stupid enough to re-elect him, so that he can finish his work of wrecking their country.

(Reuters) – On a windswept Swedish mountain, a 10,000-year-old spruce with a claim to be the world’s oldest tree is getting a new lease of life thanks to global warming, even as many plants are struggling.

Unprecedented global warming kills trees, except for 10,000 year old trees who didn’t get the memo.

Everyone thought it would be warmer and nice weather. But suddenly it’s wetter and colder in some regions,” said Lars-Otto Reiersen, head of the Secretariat of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme

He must be confused. Colder weather is proof of global warming, and is exactly what they predicted all along. This new warm weather (cleverly disguised as cold weather)  makes old trees rejuvenate.

Until now, it has been impossible to link specific junk science papers to excessive amounts of climate research funding.

However, we do know that the availability of billions of dollars to fund climate science, loads the dice for academics to generate worthless, dishonest and misleading papers.

For the first time, we can specifically tie peer-reviewed junk science papers to the availability of junk-science money.
