Real Climate Science

Obama’s literary agent (who promoted his biography and made him very rich) told everyone from 1991 to April 2007 that Obama was born in Kenya.

The press chose to ignore this story until Don Trump got involved, and has now determined that the past actions of Obama’s agent are the result of modern conspiracy theorists.

Apparently no one in the press has thought to ask Goderich where she got the information from, and why Obama never corrected it over 16 years. This is the same press corps(e) who hunted down Zimmerman for weeks, manufactured fake transcripts of his 911 call, and reported that he had no wounds on his head.

I used to read about the incredible lies coming from Pravda, but they had nothing on the modern United States Socialist Republic.

DMI got about a week behind, but is now compensating by showing what ice extent will be two weeks in the future. They have determined (using the latest data from ouijasat) that at mid-month, extent will be the lowest on record.

The new normal in climate science is to distort climate records from the 1930s.

After recalculating data from last year, the nation’s climatologists are declaring that Oklahoma suffered through the hottest summer ever recorded in the U.S. last year — not Texas as initially announced last fall.

“It doesn’t make me feel any better,” joked Texas rancher Debbie Davis, who lives northwest ofSan Antonio.

In the new tally by the National Climatic Data Center, Oklahoma’s average temperature last summer was 86.9 degrees, while Texas finished with 86.7 degrees. The previous record for the hottest summer was 85.2 degrees set in 1934 — in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma had hottest summer on record

The graph below overlays NSIDC Arctic and Antarctic ice at the same scale. What becomes immediately obvious is that the Earth’s polar ice caps are stable.

During February, Antarctic ice was slightly above two standard deviations, and Arctic ice was slightly below two standard deviations. Since then, both poles have remained very close to the 1979-2000 mean.

Polar experts have tried to blame the growth in Antarctic ice on man-made ozone, but the record shows very clearly that Arctic and Antarctic anomaly trends move opposite each other. Why are climate experts so averse to actually doing science?

From the first IPCC report – the graphs NSIDC doesn’t want you to see or think about. Prior to 1979, Arctic ice was increasing and Antarctic ice was decreasing.

Argentina Minister Sees Fewer Gas Cuts To Industry This Winter

For years, Argentina has rationed gas to industrial companies in the Southern Hemisphere’s cold winter months to ensure residential users have enough to heat their homes.

But this year, the first gas cuts came during a cold snap in late April and early May instead of in June and July as is often the case.

The US placed an idiot in the White House who is working to produce future energy shortages here. Who needs jobs or heat, anyway?

Hansen decided a few months ago that the people of Iceland were too stupid to read thermometers, and took it upon himself to go back in time and produce the correct temperatures there. That inconvenient warmest decade of the 1930s had to be eliminated, just as Hansen had already done to the US temperature record – another country he believed was populated by inferior intellects who can’t read thermometers accurately.

Having been called out by the Icelandic Met Office, Hansen has since traveled back in time again, and made his offense slightly less heinous than it was before – but look at his most recent data tampering below. Unfortunately the data used to generate the altered data above, has been overwritten. It would have looked even worse.

There is no valid mathematical basis for the patterns seen here. Someone is manually tampering with the data.

Our lukewarm friends insist that Hansen’s data is all good, because they can’t admit that they are wrong.

Temperatures in the center of the country were twelve degrees above normal, and CO2 was a very safe 310 ppm at the time

No doubt the weather was lovely though outside the US.

@oakden_wolf: @ClimateDepot It ain’t the absolute temperatures, it’s the speed of change that’s the most dangerous,moron.

I wonder if Oakden always signs his tweets with “moron” ?

Joe Romm tells us that natural gas will make the planet unlivable.

No doubt we would all be much happier freezing and starving in the dark, but I can personally attest to having survived climate change much greater than even the most mendacious BS which Romm has come up with to date.

When I attended Arizona State University quite a few decades ago, I moved there from the mountains of New Mexico. In a matter of three hours I saw climate change of 25 degrees F.

Granted, it was difficult dealing with all the scarcely clothed coeds, river floats down the Salt River (with scarcely clothed coeds) endless keggers (with scarcely clothed coeds) and after-midnight basketball games in the frat house parking lot. But somehow I managed to survive.

Did I mention that there were a lot of gorgeous women in bikinis? ASU is the university of choice for climate refugees from Illinois and Wisconsin .
