Real Climate Science

Climate science has reached a new low, where many of its adherents no longer make any attempt to do anything other spew the desired answer.

New Reports Show Impact of Manmade Global Warming

Published: July 11th, 2012

The influence of manmade global warming on the climate system continues to grow, with human fingerprints identified in more than two dozen climate “indicators” examined by an international research team — from air temperatures to ocean acidity — for a comprehensive annual “State of the Climate” report released Tuesday.

The report notes that global warming has already been playing a role in shifting the odds for several of these extreme events, including the Texas drought. The 2011 growing season was by far the warmest and driest in Texas history, and the drought was the worst one-year drought on record there as well, costing billions in agricultural losses.

The study concluded that, due to manmade global warming, La Nina-related heat waves are now 20 times more likely to occur in Texas than they were 50 years ago.

The last paragraph is one of the stupidest ever written. La Nina is associated with cold global temperatures. Blaming La Nina on global warming is incomprehensibly dense.

But it is worse than it seems. Texas has never had a drought during an El Nino warm weather event. Global warming should bring less drought to Texas.

But it is even worse than that. The whole claim is complete bullshit. Hot summers in Texas were three times more common during the 1950s, as they have been during the past decade.

These people are making information up, without doing any research and without any basis in science.

The five month period from May-Sep 1988 was the hottest five month period in Minnesota history, followed closely by 1894. All of the top 20 occurred below 350 ppm CO2.

The US Senate unanimously rejected Kyot0 in 1997, and since then there has been no change in global temperature.

The lesson from this might seem obvious, but the woman below is having a tough time figuring it out.

The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, warned on Monday that global warming will accelerate at a dramatic rate unless leaders reach a deal on limiting greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible

The current rate of warming is 0.0 degrees per century. Imagine the disaster if that increased by a factor of ten. Our leaders tell us that we need to do much better than Kyoto, in order to slow down global warming even further.

“Batman may be rising in theaters, but icebergs and heat records are falling across the globe as our folly of global-warming inaction is finally coming back to haunt us,” said Markey, the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee.

The most watched movie of all time was about a ship which crashed into a huge Greenland iceberg  – 100 years ago. Markey must have missed that one.

When Markey talks about heat records around the globe, he must be referring to the near record cold in Alaska, the UK, South America, Australia, and the fact that 2012 is shaping up to be one of the coolest years of the decade globally.

USHCN daily data shows that the five months from May-Sep 1958 was almost three degrees hotter than any recent five month period.
