Real Climate Science

Aliens from a distant galaxy could focus a death ray on Earth, vaporizing the planet.

That is slightly more likely to happen than one metre of sea level rise.

1. Older climate models over-predicted warming. We have replaced them with better models that predict even more warming
2. We over-predicted Arctic ice loss repeatedly, so we have new predictions for even more rapid ice loss
3. Temperatures are not warming as we predicted, so we altered the data to make it appear like temperatures are warming.
4. Sea level isn’t rising as fast as we predicted, so we bumped up our predictions of sea level rise
5. Hurricanes and tornadoes aren’t doing what we predicted, so we bumped up our predictions

etc. etc. etc. etc.

The biggest scientific fraud in history rolls on.

A broken clock is completely consistent. It always reads the same value, and is exactly correct twice a day.

According to Arctic rent seeking logic. we should trust broken clocks over functional ones.

The IPCC said 18-59 cm, so Heidi’s team turned that into 18-29 feet.

A new analysis released Thursday in the journal Science implies that the seas could rise dramatically higher over the next few centuries than scientists previously thought — somewhere between 18-to-29 feet above current levels, rather than the 13-to-20 feet they were talking about just a few years ago.

Sea Level Rise: It Could Be Worse than We Think | Climate Central

I will refrain from insulting turnips.

Near-zero and even negative trends are common for intervals of a decade or less in the simulations, due to the model’s internal climate variability. The simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends for intervals of 15 yr or more, suggesting that an observed absence of warming of this duration is needed to create a discrepancy with the expected present-day warming rate.

Stupidity and insanity is the new normal.

But researchers have recently been startled to see big changes unfold in both Greenland and Antarctica.

As a result of recent calculations that take the changes into account, many scientists now say that sea level is likely to rise perhaps three feet by 2100 — an increase that, should it come to pass, would pose a threat to coastal regions the world over.

And the calculations suggest that the rise could conceivably exceed six feet, which would put thousands of square miles of the American coastline under water and would probably displace tens of millions of people in Asia.

As Glaciers Melt, Science Seeks Data on Rising Seas – NYTimes.com

Sea level measurements have been steady in New York for 150 years. Post glacial rebound is causing the land to sink at a constant rate.

The Arctic melted and we all froze and starved to death.

“Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions….By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.”

“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”
