New York Times Goes Full Stupid On Drought

Hundred-Year Forecast: Drought
By CHRISTOPHER R. SCHWALM, CHRISTOPHER A. WILLIAMS and KEVIN SCHAEFER
Published: August 11, 2012

BY many measurements, this summer’s drought is one for the record books. But so was last year’s drought in the South Central states. And it has been only a decade since an extreme five-year drought hit the American West. Widespread annual droughts, once a rare calamity, have become more frequent and are set to become the “new normal.

Extreme Weather and Drought Are Here to Stay – NYTimes.com

It is difficult to comprehend how anyone could be as dishonest as Schwalm, Williams and Schaffer are. This is what Hansen said a decade ago.

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.

NASA GISS: Science Briefs: Whither U.S. Climate?

Does it look like the Mississippi River has dried up? Has half the population of Oklahoma moved to California? Drought is cyclical and the children who wrote the NYT piece are either grossly incompetent or they are liars.

Here is a newspaper article about drought from 1868, before professional liars took over science. Australia suffered extreme drought for five straight years from 1835 to 1839, including three consecutive years of extreme drought Continue reading →

Visualizing The Hansen Effect

August 6, 2012

Recent heat waves that have triggered wildfires, droughts, and heat-related deaths in the United States and around the globe “almost certainly would not have occurred” without global warming—and will become more routine in coming years, NASA climate scientist James Hansen says.

Hansen and colleagues now say that such analogies are no longer adequate: The loading of the climate die is now complete, and the effects are plain to see.

Heat Waves “Almost Certainly” Due to Global Warming“

Hansen’s remarks were greeted by record cold

“Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.”

Rewriting History To Push A Political Agenda

My sense is that the destruction of the US temperature record is a scandal comparable to any in US history, but it is certainly not the first time history has been rewritten to push a political agenda. That was a central theme of George Orwell’s 1984.

Other famous variations of this theme include

  • Nazi book burning
  • Holocaust denial
  • Taliban destroying Afghan archaeology
  • Turkey erasing the Armenian genocide
  • Soviet revision of Russian history and theft of historical artifacts
  • US press hiding Barack Obama’s history

Feel free to add to the list.

Joe Bastardi Discusses The Record August Weather Turnaround

Guest Post By Joe Bastardi

————————————————————————————————————–

Greatest Summer turn around ever?

If we take the hot Julys of 52,53,54,34,36,10,11

And look at the August average of what follows

we notice the mean of all this can be looked at to be slightly cooler but still very hot

But given what is going on now, the past  5 days,  plus the forecasted upcoming 16, with another record cold air mass coming this weekend into the areas ( another because we had one this past weekend)  that was in the heart of the NOAA  Hot July area, this should be one of the greatest, if not  THE NUMBER ONE GREATEST,  July to August turn arounds in temps in US history. The 16 day means of over 5 degrees C below normal seem to cold to me ( I cant  believe it can be 10 below  for over 2 weeks, if it is, that could be the coldest 2 week period in US history  in August for the plains, though I have not looked back at all of them

but this is amazingly cold. These models are on our Weatherbell.com site being developed by  the one and only Dr Ryan Maue.
