Real Climate Science

Check out this rant on Deep DoDo Climate

But it turns out that Taylor’s source is none other than hapless climate blogger Steven Goddard, who recently leveled incoherent and unsupported false accusations against James Hansen and NASA’s Gistemp record, as well as NOAA.  Goddard also relies on the same reviled NOAA data in his botched attempt to buttress his case that NASA is “hiding” an 80 year cooling trend. Never mind that the U.S. “lower 48? represents less than 2% of the Earth’s surface area in any event, or that past attempts to show U.S. cooling have been proven utterly wrong.

But Tale is a PhD thesis compared to Goddard’s recent outings. The first link above points to a Goddard post exposing some supposed “corruption” of the NASA Gistemp temperature record by “Hansen et al”. Goddard posts a blinking graph purporting to show substantial post-hoc changes in the 20th century U.S. temperature data. But there are no explanations of which data sets are being compared, so there is no way to even tell if they are equivalent, or represent different stages of processing.

A little bit desperate are we? The blink comparator shows Hansen’s 1999 version of US temperatures and his current version of US temperatures. The hydrophobic nitwit who wrote the article is admitting that the warming trend is the result of “processing”-  but isn’t bright enough to realize that he just stepped in a big pile.

In November, 1938 Hitler took away all the Jew’s guns. The next week he began hauling them off to the gas chambers. It is much easier to commit genocide against people who are unarmed.

In 1999, Hansen told us that there had been no warming in the US since 1950.

in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country

And since 1999, the US has cooled.

Despite the lack of warming from 1950 to 1999, and the cooling since 1999, Hansen now shows a strong US warming trend since 1950.

In Hansen’s world of climate data tampering, you can add a negative number to zero – and get a positive number.

I did an RRTM run with H2O mole fraction 0.00025 (approximating the Arctic) and got the following results.

Removal of all CO2 decreases downwelling longwave radiation by 14%, and increasing CO2 by 10X increases downwelling longwave radiation by 7%

So new we have the Earth constrained. CO2 is responsible for 1.3% of the greenhouse effect in the tropics, 2.5% in the mid latitudes, and 14% in the polar regions. These numbers are a far cry from the bloated garbage which Gavin publishes.

The two images below have a 1% difference in absorption of visible light. Can you tell which is which?

RRTM shows that removal of all methane from the atmosphere would only decrease downwelling longwave radiation in the tropics by 0.1%. A 10X increase in methane would only increase the greenhouse effect by 0.3% in the tropics.

The catastrophic global warming scare is a scam. There is no scientific basis for it.

I took the radiate transfer model used by NCAR (RRTM) and ran it with tropical humidity (0.025 mole fraction H2O)  and three levels of CO2. Results are shown below.

1. 0 ppm   392.3 w/m²
2. 364 ppm   397.5 w/m²
3. 3640 ppm   403.8 w/m²

CO2 contributes almost nothing to the greenhouse effect in the tropics. The removal of all CO2 would only lower downwelling longwave radiation by 1.3%. A 10X increase in the amount of CO2 would only increase downwelling longwave radiation by a little over 1%.

At lower surface humidity (0.015 mole fraction H2O), co2 contributes about 2.5% of the greenhouse effect.

1. 0 ppm   372.8 w/m²
2. 364 ppm   381.3 w/m²

The role of CO2 is wildly exaggerated by alarmists. Gavin typically uses a number somewhere around 30%, when in fact the real number is less than 5% over most of the Earth’s surface.

Scientists knew a century ago that continents had to move, and that major climate change was natural. It took many decades for the consensus to accept continental drift, and the “consensus” still claims that climate change is man made.

Conclusion : the hockey team is probably the stupidest group of scientists in history.

Green energy means stealing green bills from taxpayers wallets.

In December, the Navy purchased 450,000 gallons of biofuels at $26.75 a gallon, POLITICO Pro reported. In comparison, the cost of petroleum is just a few dollars per gallon.

Inventor says that we would have already fried, except for the aerosols which we already cleaned up.

Global warming worse than it appears: Nobel Prize laureate English.news.cn   2012-06-21 19:55:19

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 21 (Xinhua) — Carlo Rubbia, who shared the 1984 Nobel Prize in physics, says global warming is a much bigger problem than most people realize. “My message is that the situation is much worse than one sees and believes,” Rubbia, an Italian particle physicist and inventor, told Xinhua in an interview on the sidelines of the U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20 Earth Summit). Rubbia mentioned two “contradictory phenomena” — global warming and the aerosol masking effect which effectively offset the effects of the former.

Otherwise, the temperature of the Earth would have increased to about three degrees centigrade by now, he said. “The man in the street does not realize the effects of climate change,” because in the last 10 years, the temperature did not increase substantially. So “people feel the pressure of global warming is not a reality,” he said.

In other words, this guy has some invention he wants to sell – but needs to make a few government officials extremely stupid before he can close the sale.

One even days, we are told that the global cooling scare was due to aerosols which we subsequently cleaned up. On odd days, we are told that we didn’t clean up the aerosols, and they are 10 times worse than we thought.
