Real Climate Science

Rodgers fuming at referee

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insisted the best team lost and blamed mistakes by referee Mark Halsey for contributing to their first defeat to Manchester United at Anfield since 2007.

Rodgers took issue with the sending-off of Jonjo Shelvey, the penalty that Robin Van Persie converted to win the game 2-1 and Halsey’s decision not to award Liverpool a spot-kick when Luis Suarez was felled in the second half.

The Press Association: Rodgers fuming at referee

30 Mar 1934 – LIFE ON MARS.

Reading news stories from the last few years, I have determined that 97% of all phenomena are due to man-made CO2. This  includes volcanoes, earthquakes, wars, tsunamis, venereal disease, homosexuality in orangutans, low self-esteem, road rage, heavy snow and lack of snow, heat and cold.

One alarmist has been busy posting away claiming that winter winds in the Arctic (which push multi-year ice out from the Pacific side towards the Atlantic side)  couldn’t possibly have anything to do with ENSO.

Typical brilliant, open-minded thinking. No wonder climate science is at such an advanced state of utter uselessness.

Obama told his literary agent for 17 years (from 1991 to 2007) that he was born in Kenya. Perhaps the vast right-wing conspiracy made him do it?

USHCN appears to have been tasked with the responsibility of making 2012 the hottest year ever in the US, regardless of what the actual temperatures are. So far they have had to adjust upwards by more than three degrees relative to 100 years ago, and September is going to make their job even tougher.

Will they have to go to four or five degrees by the end of the year? There appear to be no checks, balances or auditing procedures, so they can probably get away with as much cheating as they need to.

The vast majority of multi-year ice is lost during the winter, not the summer. Winter winds blow the thick ice out into the North Atlantic where it melts when it contacts warmer water.

Between 1988 and 1996, two thirds of the five year old ice disappeared.

This has lead to a reduction in summer extent, because the ice in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas is thinner than it was twenty years ago. The reduction from 1988 to 1996 coincided with the highest ENSO period on record.  Conveniently for NSIDC, the satellites they cherry-pick were launched just as ENSO went positive. This has allowed them to show a continuous downwards trend in ice extent.

ENSO is dominantly negative since 2008, and the amount of multi-year ice is increasing again.

Alarmists are hysterical about the “record minimum” extent, but it probably is meaningless for the long term.

According to USHCN2 documentation, the TOBS adjustment hasn’t changed from USHCN1. The graph below shows that the TOBS adjustment in USHCN1 varied from -0.1 to 0.3, and was flat after 1990.

The USHCN2 TOBS adjustment is nearly twice as large, ranges from -0.6 to 0, and continues to increase after 1990.

If it was the same algorithm as they claim – the graphs would be identical through the year 2000. Obviously it isn’t.

The final minus raw for USHCN1 ranged from 0 to 0.5, and was flat after 1990

The USHCN2 final minus raw is 600% larger, and goes up exponentially after 1990. Just in the last year, the adjustment has increased by more than a degree.

The US government is cheating and robbing us blind.

Thou shalt not consume the apple of tree ring data after 1960, because it has been corrupted by CO2 sin.

Thou shalt adjust thermometer data to hide the decline

Thou shalt splice adjusted thermometer data on to tree ring data after 1960
