Real Climate Science

The 1990 IPCC report contained the inconvenient graph above, which didn’t look anything like a hockey stick. Briffa’s trees didn’t look anything like a hockey stick either. Mikey had to get rid of the MWP, but this was going to require some hard work. How did he do it?

1. Trashed all the post 1960 tree ring data
2. Replaced the post-1960 tree ring data with Hansen’s altered Northern Hemisphere temperature data.
3. When you have seen one tree, you have seen Yamal
4. Declared the MWP to be local to Northern Europe and Greenland.

The first three were heinous enough to have automatically obtained an honorary football coaching position at PSU, but the third one is the topic for this post.

Climate models don’t produce localized warming – particularly not at high latitudes. The most fundamental tenet of “global warming” is polar amplification. Whatever the world is doing, the poles do it even more. Greenland is the canary in the coal mine. If Greenland is warming, so is the rest of the planet.

Hansen’s models predict consistent warming along land areas of equal latitude, and nearly symmetrical warming on opposite sides of the equator. The idea of a large magnitude localized warming in Greenland, which lasted for several centuries and missed most of the rest of the planet – is stupid beyond comprehension.

Vikings actively farmed Greenland 1000 years ago, but our top climate scientists say that current temperatures are much warmer. The growing season when the Vikings lived there must have been about 15 minutes.

Julia showing off the official carbon tax salute.

SHOPS and restaurants could face fines up to $1.1 million if waiters or sales staff wrongly blame the carbon tax for price rises or exaggerate the impact.

And households are being warned to watch out for telephone scammers offering to deposit carbon tax compensation into their bank accounts.

The prices watchdog, the ACCC, will today launch its countdown to the July 1 carbon tax with a special focus on helping small businesses understand their obligations and consumers to be vigilant for false claims.

No, far more chilling – because it was so shamelessly explicit – was the promise made by Greens deputy leader Christine Milne on Monday to punish newspapers which publish articles sceptical of global warming and critical of the Gillard Government.

To hear what she said on the ABC’s Q&A program in supposedly free and democratic Australia, after all the lessons we thought we’d learnt from Stalinist Russia and fascist Germany, is staggering.

Julia’s tax has not even been implemented yet, but is already causing record cold temperatures.

10-Day Temperature Outlook

Temperatures in Australia are “colder than a witch’s teat“

In 1922, the US Weather Bureau reported that the July 1917  mean temperature in Death Valley was 107.2 degrees.

USHCN now reports the mean temperature of July 1917 as 106.6.  They knocked more than half a degree off the measured temperatures.

U.S. Historical Climatology Network

Another interesting month is July 1913. The Weather Bureau reported that during the week of July 8-14, high temperatures averaged nearly 130 degrees.

USHCN reports that the average high temperature for July 1913 was only 113.6. The rest of the month must have been very cold to drag the average down that far.

But it is worse than it seems. USHCN knocked about three degrees off all measured maximum temperatures from 1911 through 1914.

The station at Death Valley was excellently sited and carefully monitored during that period, much better than most of the USHCN stations today. What is the USHCN rationale for this spectacular data tampering?

The US Weather Bureau wrote this in 1907.

Apparently Hansen and Karl aren’t the first people to tamper with weather data.

Looking at the autumn weather report, it becomes clear why Hansen keeps incoherently mumbling something about Antarctica melting down.

There was no global warming scare.

A literature survey from 2000-2015 showed that there were only a small handful of peer-reviewed papers predicting catastrophic global warming. 97% of the papers predicted little or no warming, with large uncertainty values.

The global warming scare was dreamed up by Newsweek and Time magazines, was funded by the failed solar and wind industries, and had the support of a few politicians with no scientific background.

As you have recently discovered, there is no big money denial machine. We are scientists and engineers who do this for free, in defense of science and free speech.

The corruption and big money is on the alarmist side. People like Peter Gleick have been trying to crush dissent since time immemorial. It never works – truth always finds a way.

And all your hysterical rantings won’t change a thing.

“I’m willing to risk my arrest, because if Heartland Institute gets its way, it could be the end of civilization as we know it,” stated Alice Coffey an activist who risked arrest at today’s event.

Alice is just not keeping up. Civilization ended decades ago. Two previous generations of drugged out losers already finished it off.

“Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”

• George Wald, Harvard Biologist 1970

It is interesting how the alarmists operate. Instead of showing up for their invitation  to debate, they send hippies to try to shout people down.

If there was any actual science behind what Hansen, Mann et al are doing, they would be eager to debate.

As of 1999, NOAA, Phil Jones and James Hansen all agreed that the US was not warming.

February 04, 1989

Last week, scientists from the United States Commerce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that a study of temperature readings for the contiguous 48 states over the last century showed there had been no significant change in average temperature over that period. Dr. (Phil) Jones said in a telephone interview today that his own results for the 48 states agreed with those findings.

Global Warmth In ’88 Is Found To Set a Record – New York Times

August 1999

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath…..

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

NASA GISS: Science Briefs: Whither U.S. Climate?

Now they tell a very different story, that the US faces 4-11 degrees of warming this century.

The US has cooled almost a degree since 1999. Apparently there was a decision made by the big three in the year 2000 – to drop any pretense of veracity or integrity in climate science.
