Real Climate Science

All things are possible, if you have faith in CO2.

As a scientist, I side with the data. Although, the study has to be kept in perspective, since the ice growth is not enough to cover the ice loss in the Arctic. This infers that while the local temperature at the Antarctic is cooler, the average global temperature is rising. Global warming studies have predicted for many years that the earth will experience dramatic changes in climate. This means that some places will get cooler and some will get hotter due to changes in the air and ocean currents. It has also been predicted that the earth will have more dramatic shifts in summer heat and winter cold, which have also been noted throughout the past decade. Therefore,it is completely plausible that the ice growth in the Antarctic is as expected within the global warming model.

We were warned not to eat from the tree of Antarctic sea ice knowledge, but now that we have sinned – only faith in CO2 can bring us back to grace.

Obama realized he had messed up pretty badly when his ambassador got killed by Al Qaeda, so he lied about it and blamed it on YouTube.

Two weeks later he realized that no one was buying his lies, so he said that he got it right all along.

That didn’t fly either, so now he is blaming Hillary.

Half of the country is considering voting for Obama, because he stole your money to give them a phone.

The 1950s drought was much worse. Apparently that was more than 1,000 years ago.

This week marks seven years since the US was hit by a major hurricane, and it has been more than 20 years since the US was hit by a category five hurricane.

Scientists celebrate the record calm by making up a new way to prove that hurricanes are getting stronger.

New Study Ties Hurricane Strength To Global Warming

One of the major unanswered questions about climate change is whether hurricanes have become more frequent and stronger as the world has warmed. Until now, there hasn’t been enough evidence to settle the question, but a report published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences may have changed all that. Using an entirely new method of tallying hurricane power and frequency, a team of scientists say that hurricanes are, indeed, more of a danger when ocean temperatures are higher.

The only well defined number in climate science is the amount of money they receive in funding. All other numbers are completely flexible.

Antarctic sea ice area has averaged 80,000 Manhattans above normal, and has been above normal every day this year.

NSIDC experts say that this has little effect on the climate, which is why Australia has been experiencing record cold and snow.

NOAA claims that September was the 22 hottest in US history, when in fact it was 55th hottest. September temperatures have been declining since 1895.

They cleverly turned a cooling trend into a warming trend.

Remember that pesky ice age scare from the 1970s which NCAR, CRU, NOAA and The National Academy Of Sciences thought they saw?

James Hansen has determined that they imagined the whole thing, and has succeeded in erasing the entire cooling trend from 1940 to 1975.

Isn’t science grand when you can lie and cheat using taxpayer money, and then use your lies and cheats to extort lots more taxpayer money.

This is accomplished by raising two generations of scientifically illiterate children, who feel unqualified to question the extortion they are facing.

RIVER RUNNERS: THE LATEST VICTIMS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

For the contiguous United States, the first nine months of 2012 were the warmest on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. As of October 2, 64 percent of the United States was in the middle of a drought. Wyoming and Colorado experienced the warmest summer on record, while Wyoming and Nevada saw the driest summer on record. In western and central regions of the country, wildfires burned a record-breaking 3.6 million acres in August.

In other words, it was a cruel summer. It stressed wildlife and depleted water reserves, but it also made life difficult for river runners in the Mountain West, whose business success is dictated largely by the health of the rivers they run. This followed very big water during the summer of 2011, thanks to major snowfall during the 2010-2011 season.

“We’re usually kayaking in March, April, May, and usually into June,” said Peter Van De Carr, who operates Backdoor Sports in Steamboat Springs and runs the Yampa River. “But last summer, we were done [kayaking] at the end of March. “As of June 20, the river was 40 cubic feet per second and going down. A year before, June 20, 2011, it was 4,000cfs and going up.”

“Some would say it’s not climate change, but climate strange, with one of the wettest years on record followed by one of the driest,” said Soren Jespersen, northwest Colorado wildlands coordinator for the Wilderness Society. “I think all the businesses that depend somewhat on consistent weather patterns are having a hard time adjusting to these shifts, whether it be ski resorts or river guides.”

Any business person who has such a poor understanding of the fundamentals of their own business, deserves to go under.

Snowfall is extremely variable from year to year. At Crested Butte, Colorado the standard deviation is 67 inches. Snow peaked there in 1978, one year after the second driest winter on record.
