Some Christian fundamentalists believe that the earth was created 5,000 years ago, but Katherine’s data indicates that Earth was actually created much later during the 1970s – which coincidentally happened to be the coldest decade of the last 80 years.

The one hundred hottest 36 month periods in Oklahoma – all occurred before 1960.

The hottest temperature this month in McPherson was 108 degrees, nine degrees cooler than 1936. Experts tell us that 2012 heatwave is comparable to the 1930s – because they are completely incompetent.

This is what global warming looks like.

The last time London hosted the Olympics was in 1948. King George VI opened the games at the end of July in 35C weather.

After 74 years of unprecedented global warming, the forecast high in London for Sunday is 19C – a cool down of only 16 degrees coming on the heels of the worst first half of summer on record.

Using the new McKitten/Masters/Romm math, the odds of having 90 days in a row of below average temperatures are 2^90 to one, which is about one billion billion billion to one.

When you are shoveling your driveway next winter, feel comforted knowing that the winter is impossible.

NOAA has been claiming that the last twelve months was the hottest in US history, but USHCN data places that in doubt. The table below shows the ten hottest 12 month periods in US history, based on measured (raw monthly) maximum temperatures.

September 1933 - August     1934   67.92
December  1933 - November   1934   67.90
August    1933 - July       1934   67.78
November  1933 - October    1934   67.72
June      1933 - May        1934   67.71
October   1933 - September  1934   67.62
July      1933 - June       1934   67.60
January   1934 - December   1934   67.51
April     1934 - March      1935   67.45
July      2011 - June       2012   67.40

Maximum temperatures are less affected by UHI than minimum temperatures, and are a better measure of relative temperatures.

melt events have occurred at Summit in the past and I have quoted the longest-term average frequency of ~150 years (exactly 153 from the paper) over the past 10,000

‘Unprecedented’ Greenland Surface Melt – Every 150 Years? – NYTimes.com

The unprecedented melt has happened 65 times in the last 10,000 years. But it is worse than it seems. If there was any significant melting, the albedo of the ice surface would have dropped off visibly and dramatically.  It didn’t change at all.

Every skier can tell the difference between fresh unmelted snow and melting snow. Fresh snow is very bright – and you need sunglasses. Melting snow is much darker. The snow on top of most of the ice sheet shows no sign of melt.

Look how much brighter the snow on Greenland is, than the sea ice to the north.

There wasn’t any hockey stick prior to the year 2000.

The 1990 IPCC report showed that temperatures were much cooler than 800 years ago.

NASA announced yesterday that this place is experiencing an unprecedented meltdown. I normally keep a pretty close eye on it, but we probably need to start archiving pictures every day to fully document their BS.
