In March, John Cook told us that an El Nino would make 2012 the hottest year ever, and 2013 even hotter.
So how did he do so far?
ENSO is higher than forecast (0.09) and GISS is much lower than forecast 0.49 for the year and tanking.
Solar max, no volcanoes, no excuses. It looks like 2012 will be one of the coldest years of the decade.
Hansen shows 2-4C anomalies near the North Pole, which are impossible in summer due to the latent heat of melting ice.

DMI shows that the whole month of July was normal or below, north of 80N

Hansen accomplished this stupidity by fabricating data where he doesn’t have any thermometers (grey area below.)

All this cheating, and still below scenario C.
According to Hansen, global temperatures dropped in July to 0.47 – the lowest level since March, and far below Hansen’s zero emissions after 2000 scenario C
The Problem
Increasing Debt: Under President Bush, the federal debt has increased from $5.7 trillion to $8.8 trillion, an increase of more than 50 percent
Then he described his plan
Barack Obama will restore fiscal discipline to Washington:Obama and Biden review the federal budget line by line and eliminate programs that don’t work or are unnecessary.

The real problem is that Obama is incapable of telling the truth about anything.
Summit Greenland got barely above freezing for a couple of hours, and those became the only hours of interest for the year.

The eastern half of the US completely missed the winter of 1889-1890, while the Pacific Northwest had one of their coldest winters on record.
Romm and McKibben would have explained this familiar pattern as being due to chicken farts. The pattern is almost identical to this past winter. Hansen of course would say that this type of weather was impossible prior to 1988.

THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE IN TOLEDO FOR THE WINTER SEASON WAS 32.8 DEGREES. THAT MAKES THIS SEASON THE 10TH WARMEST ON RECORD. THE WARMEST WINTER WAS THE WINTER OF 1889 AND 1890 WITH AN AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF 37.8 DEGREES. www.erh.noaa.gov/cle/txtprod/pns_2012_03_01_seasonal_records.txt
CO2 Pollution Could Erase Coral Reefs | Wired Science | Wired.com
Corals evolved during the Cambrian Era, when CO2 levels were eight to twenty times higher than today. The great coral reefs of the Permian era formed when CO2 was as high as 3,000 ppm CO2.
Obviously corals like high levels of CO2.
