Real Climate Science

CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Therefore the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is going to collapse, and we are all going to drown.

U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming

Other than NASA. NCAR, CRU, CIA, Columbia University, University of Colorado, Science News, Time, Newsweek, New York Times, and just about every other news source on the planet ………………. the global cooling scare never happened.

The David Appell conspiracy theory.

Climate scientists tell us that they are 97% certain that humans are the cause of climate change.

In the context of state of the art science, I will robustly explain the graph below

Starting in 1880, humans were feeding their horses lots of gassy oats – which produced a huge epidemic of farting. Later, the introduction of the Model T was the beginning of automobile emissions – which replaced the horse farts.

This constant farting and gassing continued until 1939, when humans decided to start putting massive amounts of aerosols into the atmosphere – and caused 35 years of linear global cooling. Overnight, humans suddenly increased their aerosol emissions by a factor of 10 or 100.

This explanation is completely robust, and makes lots more sense than blaming the weather on the solar cycles or ocean cycles – if you have the IQ of a turnip or received a climate science education in college.

TIME Magazine June 1974: Another Ice Age?

In Africa, drought continues for the sixth consecutive year, adding terribly to the toll of famine victims. During 1972 record rains in parts of the U.S., Pakistan and Japan caused some of the worst flooding in centuries. In Canada’s wheat belt, a particularly chilly and rainy spring has delayed planting and may well bring a disappointingly small harvest. Rainy Britain, on the other hand, has suffered from uncharacteristic dry spells the past few springs. A series of unusually cold winters has gripped the American Far West, while New England and northern Europe have recently experienced the mildest winters within anyone’s recollection.

University of Toronto Climatologist Kenneth Hare, a former president of the Royal Meteorological Society, believes that the continuing drought and the recent failure of the Russian harvest gave the world a grim premonition of what might happen. Warns Hare: “I don’t believe that the world’s present population is sustainable if there are more than three years like 1972 in a row.”

Temperatures had dropped more than half a degree prior to these droughts and floods. Climatologists now blame the identical phenomenon on global warming.

This drought may never break

IT MAY be time to stop describing south-eastern Australia as gripped by drought and instead accept the extreme dry as permanent, one of the nation’s most senior weather experts warned yesterday.

“Perhaps we should call it our new climate,” said the Bureau of Meteorology’s head of climate analysis, David Jones.

It is a particularly appropriate read as we suffer through the hellish summer of 2011. While it is unknown exactly how much human activities are contributing to this summer’s unpleasant weather, one lesson from the book is clear: Get used to it. The weather of the 21st century will be very much like the hot and dry weather of 2011.

A controversy is churning over projections for sea-level rise through the end of this century and whether they should be used in drafting development policies along the coast today.

Draft legislation circulating among state lawmakers, lobbyists and advocacy groups would prohibit state and local government agencies from using projections of accelerated sea rise – due mainly to global warming and the melting of polar ice caps – when forming coasting development policies and regulations.

If enacted as written, the measure would require rates of sea-level rise to be determined using historical data “limited to the time period following the year 1900,” but not “scenarios of accelerated rates of sea level rise.”

It is a response to a controversial 2010 report by the N.C. Coastal Resources Commission’s Science Panel on Coastal Hazards, which recommended that a sea-level rise of 39 inches, or 1 meter, be adopted as the amount of anticipated rise by the year 2100 for policy development and planning purposes. The report noted that there is consensus among scientists that the rate of rise will increase this century and beyond.

This report is a total fraud. The IPCC projects 7-24 inches of sea level rise.

The legislation, in effect, would ensure the findings of the report aren’t reflected in coastal management policies.

Rep. Pat McElraft, R-Carteret, who is pushing the proposal, said she wants to ensure that historical data, not projections, are used when estimating sea-level rise. She said she doesn’t believe the estimates from the science panel’s report.

Legislation would limit sea-level plans to past patterns

Coastal Louisiana is subsiding more than 5mm per year. Hansen tells us that we can stop this by limiting CO2 to the safe level it was at when the 1988 Yellowstone fire occurred.

“We should be aiming to keep CO2 no higher than about 350ppm and possibly somewhat less. That is probably necessary if we want to maintain stable ice sheets and shorelines and avoid many other issues.”
