Real Climate Science

PBS told us that scientists can see the climate future from their house in Alaska

Scientists say Alaska is like a canary in a coal mine, foreshadowing the types of changes we can expect for the rest of the world.

After the one of Alaska`s coldest, snowiest winters on record, followed by one of the coldest summers on record, followed by an early winter – we can safely conclude that we are all going to freeze to death. Scientists said so.

Gore’s Challenge to the US: 100% Zero-Carbon Electricity in 10 Years

17 July 2008

In a major speech given today at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington DC, former Vice President Al Gore challenged the US to end its reliance on carbon-based fuels and to “commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years.”

A few years ago, it would not have been possible to issue such a challenge. But here’s what’s changed: the sharp cost reductions now beginning to take place in solar, wind, and geothermal power—coupled with the recent dramatic price increases for oil and coal—have radically changed the economics of energy.

In 1988, Hansen predicted that it would be the hottest year ever. It wasn’t, so he blamed his misprediction on an “unusual Pacific Ocean current” i.e. La Nina.

Twenty five years later, Hansen still hasn’t figured out that La Nina is a normal part of the climate.

Obama says he can stop droughts and floods, but he was unable to stop a 30% probability of rain which convinced him to move his speech indoors. Can someone explain how that works?

The year 1934 was the hottest in US history. Was it Franklin Roosevelt’s fault?

Obama says that US voters are responsible for the weather.

As early as 1766 B.C. there was a great drought, which lasted until 1761 B.C. —seven- years. It was so severe that the sovereign is reported to have decided to offer himself as a sacrifice to Heaven to remove the awful calamity. He was spared, however, because, while he was praying, it is said, the heavens opened, and the rains came, putting an end to the drought.Chinese historians show that during a period of 1,023 years, from A.D. 620 to 1643, drought occured in 583 years. That would mean one every two years or less.

The US has been experiencing less and less drought since the 1930s, and Obama wants to do something about it.

my plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating our planet – because climate change is not a hoax. More droughts and floods and wildfires are not a joke. They’re a threat to our children’s future. And in this election, you can do something about it.

 I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false.

Barack Obama: let me finish the job

$16 trillion debt wasn’t enough. He should have spent less time on the golf course, and more time working with his long-time advisors.
