Real Climate Science

That isn’t Issac – it is Katrina. They lie about everything.

Paul Ryan just blew me away.

We have the opportunity to replace the America hating fraudsters at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with first rate Americans. This is the most important election of my lifetime.

10-Day Temperature Outlook for the Conterminous U.S.

The three hottest years for maximum monthly temperatures in the US were 1936, 1934 and 1901.

The graph below shows the unknown adjustments which NOAA makes – discussed in the Paul Homewood’s article below. Note the bizarro adjustment in 2012.

Paul Homewood goes right to the source.

The real mystery, though, is how they arrive at the 1934 number. There are State Climatological Reports available from then, but no direct comparison can be made with current ones because there were less stations then and they were allocated to only three divisions instead of six. Also the majority of stations reporting in 1934 no longer report now. (For interest, the State temperature given at the time for July 1934 was 78.8F, i.e. 0.2F higher than now shown).

When I asked Deke Arndt of NOAA how they calculated the temperatures for 1934, he seemed as confused as me!

“Climate divisions weren’t in use then, so the circa 1934 is likely a straight up average of available stations at “press time”

The more modern CAG value uses the CDs to build the state value (this is a factor if stations are distributed unevenly within the state), it incorporates the late-arriving (in 1934) stations, several QA tests, etc.

Those are probably the factors in play here.”

So it would appear the temperatures that NOAA now declare for 1934 are no more than a “theoretical reconstruction”. But without the transparency to show how this has been done, how can we have any confidence that it has been done properly. There is a potential discrepancy of 0.6F in Virginia; if this is extended across the whole country, it would destroy the claim that this July was the hottest month on record as July 1936 was only 0.13F cooler on NOAA’s record. Indeed this would only the 5th warmest July in the CONUS.

Hottest July In Virginia? Or Maybe Not. « NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

Turquoise represents ice present in 2012 which wasn’t present at the 2007 minimum. Red shows the opposite. There is 12% more ice than there was at the 2007 minimum.

Are climate sceptics more likely to be conspiracy theorists? | Adam Corner | Environment | guardian.co.uk

The Guardian says that climate skeptics are moon landing conspiracy theorists.  Note in their picture above, the guy on the right – Buzz Aldrin.

Buzz is a famous climate skeptic, who recently signed a letter by 50 top NASA people criticizing NASA for their climate stance.

Guardian gets the award for being as stupid as humans can be, and still get out of their house in the morning.

Antarctica has been cooling over the last 30 years, which unequivocally proves  polar amplification and the CO2 footprint of mankind.

From 1991 to 2007 I believed that all black men were born in Kenya.

Barack Hussein Obama never told me that he was born in Kenya, and it is purely coincidental that newspapers in Africa also believed that he was born in Kenya.

Cut me some slack here. Have you never mistakenly believed for 17 years that your business partner from Hawaii was born in Kenya?

The term “ice-free” started at zero km^2, and is now up to twice the size of Texas.  Why stop there? I officially declare the Arctic to be ice-free at four million km^2.

Furthermore, John Holdren explained that after the Arctic becomes ice-free in summer, it will also become ice-free in winter. This means that earth will soon become like Venus – and we will all vaporize in a cloud of blue steam.
