Real Climate Science

According to NASA, Greenland experienced a massive ice melt last week which turned the entire country red hot and apparently melted all the ice.

It is surprising that no one issued a tsunami warning, because our beaches must certainly have drowned by now.

NASA also says that if this predictable, cyclical event continues to be cyclical and predictable – we should be worried.

Although some of these descriptions aren’t entirely untrue, even within NASA’s own announcement of this observation, a Goddard Space Flight Center scientist said these types of melting events occur every 150 years, on average.

With the last event happening in 1889, Lora Koening said “this event is right on time.”

She does note that if strong melting events like this continue in future years, “it will be worrisome.”

Indeed, I’m worried that the sun will come up tomorrow, and it will heat up my side of the planet.

If you have to lie, cherry pick and deceive –  then your belief system isn’t worth the cheap recycled toilet paper it is written on.

St. Louis is seeing some unbelievable heat this summer: On Wednesday, the city hit 108 degrees, Weather Underground meteorologist Jeff Masters said. “This marked the 11th day this summer in St. Louis with temperatures of at least 105 degrees,” he says, “beating the old record of 10 such days in 1934.”

The closest USHCN station to St. Louis is at Warrenton, Missouri. Here are their official maximum temperatures for July 1936.

88  94  97 104  104  102  104  103  103  106  105  106  107  111  111  104  104  100  100  91    91  96  105  105  106  107  108  104  93  90  89

There were eleven days 105 and above and two days 110 and above. The average high that month was 101.23 They had sixteeen days in a row over 100 degrees.

July 2012 has seen no days over 110 and the average maximum has been 99 degrees – more than two degrees cooler than 1936. The longest stretch over 100 degrees this month was four days.

July 1936 was much hotter in St. Louis than July 2012.

We will be watching closely this time, to document just how dishonest NASA is.

Railroad engineer Pachauri demonstrates once again that he understands nothing about science

“it’s possible that part of this huge body of ice (Greenland) could collapse, and fall into the ocean which would lead to several meters of sea level rise.

Mindless drivel. The Greenland ice sheet is a 3 km thick chunk of ice spread across a 1000 km wide island. You could visualize it as being a thick piece of paper. Can you imagine a piece of paper lying flat on a table, collapsing?

But it is worse than it seems. The land under the ice sheet is depressed due to the weight of the ice above it, and is bowl shaped. Furthermore, the island is full of mountain ranges buried under the ice – which prevent lateral movement.

Perhaps Pachauri  thinks that ice cream can spontaneously jump out of a bowl? What a maroon.

I painted in the July 1936 temperature anomaly map with the same color scale as the July 2012 map, with pink added for +12 anomaly. As you can see, July 1936 was much hotter than July 2012 over 70% of the US – but that isn’t going to stop NOAA from claiming that 2012 was the hottest.

Greenland’s ice sheet melt: a sensational picture of a blunt fact

The NASA report which he is referring to, said that the non-event which just happened occurs every 153 years and was right on schedule.

What kind of moron would interpret a cyclical event which is right on schedule – as being due to climate change?

With five days to go in July, preliminary data show that the heat could top records set decades ago: “The warmest July for the contiguous U.S. was in 1936, when the nationally averaged temperature was 77.43 degrees, 3.14 degrees above average,” said climate scientist Jake Crouch of the National Climatic Data Center.

The actual average temperature for July 1936, before they adjust it down – is 77.93 degrees. They knocked it down half a degree from the measured daily temperatures.

Preliminary data from the center show the national temperature for the first three weeks of July was 3.63 degrees above average. If the heat continues, and after the data are more closely analyzed, that would top July 1936.

How horrid? July on pace to be hottest month on record – USATODAY.com

Complete bullshit. July, 1936 was much hotter, but they now upwards adjust more than 1.5 degrees on to the monthly temperature relative to 1936.

Compare the huge region of +10 and +12 degrees in 1936 to the tiny region of +8 in 2012. The area of +10 was probably two hundred times larger in 1936. There is no +12 in 2012. Every band +2 or above was much larger in 1936.

This July isn’t even close to 1936, but by tampering with the data they get the political result they are looking for. I doubt that July 2012 is even in the top five without their tampering.

Just another huge climate scandal in the making.
