Never mind that Fort Collins is the greenest I have ever seen it in August. We are apparently having either a severe or extreme drought. Arizona and Arkansas have also been getting heavy rain, but the government says that they are about to shrivel up and blow away.

What a joke.

Cryosphere Today has this graph on their website, purporting to show accelerating ice loss since 1900. It appears entertaining, except for the fact that the data is garbage.

Note the two circles which I drew for 1974 and 1979. It appears there was a lot less ice in 1979 than  1974. Sadly for the data fabricators, we have satellite data from that period (which NSIDC chooses to ignore) that shows that there was a lot more Arctic ice in 1979 than 1974.

Similarly, the CIA reported in 1974 a 10-15% increase in Arctic ice over the previous few years.

The Cryosphere Today graph shows the exact opposite. It is complete garbage, and looks like someone just took a pencil and made up data.

Gleick became a hero of the global warming movement by lying and cheating, and Muller is following in his footsteps.

Muller has been telling us for years that global warming is the most serious problem mankind faces, and now he is getting publicity for his daughter’s business by claiming to be a converted former skeptic. He even lied to me about it in a personal E-mail.

The press willfully ignores all evidence to the contrary, and chooses instead to be complicit in Muller’s fraud.

The map below compares Arctic ice vs. 1938. green is 2012 and red is 1938.

The graph below plots sea level at New York for the last 160 years. The fastest period of sea level rise was the 1930s. Since 1950, sea level has been rising at about half the 1930s rate.

Why did you lie to Congress yesterday and tell them that sea level rise has tripled over the last ten years?

The US is experiencing the lowest hurricane activity on record. It has been seven years since a major hurricane hit the US.  This year is likely to have the fewest fires since 2003. Droughts were much worse in the 1930s and 1950s.

Isn’t it illegal to lie as an expert witness in a Congressional hearing?

The committee also heard from James McCarthy, a Harvard oceanographer and IPCC author, who warned that sea-level rise was occurring about three times faster than scientists believed even a decade ago.

Complete bullshit. The numbers are changing only because they are tampering with them.

“You didn’t build that . . .”

– President Obama

July 27, 2012

Dear Mr. Obama,

Normally when you utter something so colossally idiotic I tend to see what everyone else does and if its all been done I’m not going to throw out my opinion on the matter. The “Obama Depression” is about to claim the last bit of my 401K and I’m trying to get this new idea off the ground so I’m a bit busy. This little letter writing gig is a voluntary effort, with all due respect to those who seem to think I’m a some famous writer grand standing their true self, or some rich guy doing this because I need to vent. I’m none of that. If I did make that claim I would be as bad as you. Because through out these reactions to that utterance I realized something.

You, Sir, did not build you. Please allow me to explain. Every step of your life has been prepared for you. Every moment you were pampered and buffed for the next phase like some kind of imaginary character in a television program. From your mother to your girlfriends to your job history and your lack of real world skills. It’s frankly miraculous that you kept the facade up for so long. To repeat; you did not build you, someone else did that.

Well, us common folk “Joe Doakes’s” out in the hinterland don’t have that option. We don’t have the safety net of a group of rich socialist friends that are going to protect us at every turn. We are on our own. And for every improvement we make in our lives there is someone out there, thanks to all of your class rhetoric, that thinks they have a legitimate claim on my labor or my dwindling wealth.

You never felt blame. You never had to stare back at your wife and explain why that second mortgage isn’t getting paid. You never had to live with less so others could have more. You never had to sacrifice what you wanted so someone else could have a shot. You never built a life on merit and exposure to risk nor attempted to serve the public good in the vain of politicians like Henry Clay. You never did that.

There’s this guy running for office. His name is Mitt Romney. He has done nothing but that. No one told him when to “zig” or “zag.” No one told him to do what when. He just did it. Mr. Romney is a “Do the right thing” machine. That’s what he does. He’s like one of those perpetual motion machines that you could buy. You can just count on it. That’s what America needs, someone it can count on to relieve it from the madness that is Washington D.C. by any means necessary. Because if you haven’t noticed you didn’t build that city.

We did.

Respectfully,

Joe Doakes

The closest USHCN station to Oklahoma City is at Meeker. The temperatures on August 9 through 12, 1936 were 114, 119, 118 and 115.

So why is Mike Seidel of the Weather Channel spreading such blatant misinformation? 1936 was much hotter than 2012. He posted the image below on Twitter

Guthrie is the next closest weather station to Oklahoma City. Temperatures there from August 9 to August 12 1936 were 114, 114, 116 and 116.
