Utter BS. In 1934, Iowa hit 111 degrees – at the end of May!

1934: What would become one of the hottest summers on record in Iowa began to intensify as a heat wave in the last three days of May resulted in nearly every location in the state exceeding 100 F on at least one of those three days. The heat wave peaked on the 30th when the temperature soared to as high as 111 F near Inwood which is the highest temperature ever recorded in Iowa in May. Other high temperatures on the 30th included 110 F at Boone, 109 F at Logan and Spencer, 108 F at Le Mars, and 107 F at Storm Lake. Des Moines and Sioux City also set their respective May records as both reached a high of 105 F.

The thought process for alarmists is : “It is hot today where I live. CO2 traps heat. The hot weather must be due to CO2.” If someone told them that CO2 turned them into a newt, they would probably believe that too.

CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES Climate Summary

NBC Meteorologist Bill Karins said on Friday , “We’ve never really seen a heat wave like this in the month of June.” Sadly, in a few decades this will just be considered a normal June

BS. I live in the hottest part of the map, but it appears unlikely that June, 2012 will rank in the top five.

With Oz in the deep freeze and experiencing record skiing conditions, Julia says it is time to pay the global warming tax which she promised not to create.

Time is right for Australian carbon tax, says Gillard

Ahhh… It wasn’t right during the election, but it is right now.

On the eve of Australia’s introduction of a carbon tax to control greenhouse emissions, Prime Minister Julia Gillard says the impost is an important reform at the right time.

Australia will join a number of other countries with taxes aimed at putting a price on the carbon contained in hydrocarbon fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas.

The tax will be charged at $A23 a tonne of emissions on 294 organisations that emit 25,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide or the equivalent in greenhouse gases.

Ms Gillard said she is confident many households will be better off after the July 1 introduction of the carbon tax.

Confiscating people’s money makes them spiritually healthier,

Meeting voters in Melbourne at the weekend, she said: “They will be in a position from tomorrow to judge for themselves the claims that have been made to see what carbon pricing really does mean.”

It means that global temperatures will be altered by 0.000001 degrees – according to climate models.

Alice Springs offers cricket, football, baseball, swimming, golf … and GISSnastics.

Based on the number of venues, it appears that cricket and GISSnastics are the most popular sports.

USHCN thermometers show that temperatures in Kansas City have been in sharp decline since the 1930s, with 1921 being by far the hottest year. NOAA has diligently fixed this  inconvenient city (and most of the rest of the US) by massively tampering with the data. Red line shows the thermometer data, blue line shows the corrupted adjusted data.

Greenland has reached its traditional summer peak, and is topping out at a blistering -10C in the center of the ice sheet. Look for massive sea level rise, drowning California in the next twenty years – with dead Pikas littering the beaches.

Feynman would have been completely disgusted by Mike’s Nature Trick and Hansen’s data tampering. He was an expert at uncovering fraud and misbehavior at NASA.

There is one feature I notice that is generally missing in “cargo cult science.” It’s a kind of scientific integrity, a principle of scientific thought that corresponds to a kind of utter honesty — a kind of leaning over backwards. For example, if you’re doing an experiment, you should report everything that you think might make it invalid — not only what you think is right about it; other causes that could possibly explain your results; and things you thought of that you’ve eliminated by some other experiment, and how they worked — to make sure the other fellow can tell they have been eliminated.

Details that could throw doubt on your interpretation must be given, if you know them. You must do the best you can — if you know anything at all wrong, or possibly wrong — to explain it. If you make a theory, for example, and advertise it, or put it out, then you must also put down all the facts that disagree with it, as well as those that agree with it. There is also a more subtle problem. When you have put a lot of ideas together to make an elaborate theory, you want to make sure, when explaining what it fits, that those things it fits are not just the things that gave you the idea for the theory; but that the finished theory makes something else come out right, in addition.

In summary, the idea is to try to give all of the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another.
