Real Climate Science

He has obviously been telling people for decades that he was born in Kenya.

The press corps(e) should expose him for being the original birther, but instead they simply choose to stick their heads further up their asses, and shoot the messenger.

German researchers have found evidence that areas in Antarctica, previously thought relatively safe from the direct influence of climate change, are melting rapidly.

An Antarctic area previously thought stable is at risk of melting rapidly within the next century, new research suggests.
In a study published earlier this month, a team from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany says the now-intact Filchner-Ronne ice shelf in the peripheral Weddell Sea could disintegrate, pushing parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet into retreat.

The German researchers found that rising temperatures could thin the ice on the Weddell Sea, sending warm ocean currents under the frozen Filcher-Ronne ice shelf and accelerate melting.

New threat to Antarctic ice shelf emerges 

It is well known in the climate science world that warm water sinks, and then suddenly rises when it finds an ice shelf to melt. The same reason why people ride cold air balloons in the winter – when ambient temperatures are very hot.

The increase in sea ice around Antarctica is a sure sign that the oceans are heating up fast.

Antarctica is looking a bit chilly this week at -108 degrees, but the big meltdown will likely start next week.

Through April, GISS is averaging 0.44 for the year – tanking ever further below Hansen’s zero emissions scenario C.

The team has suddenly developed amnesia about his 1998 forecasts, and have reverted back to an obscure 1981 Hansen forecast which won’t collapse for a few more years.

Between April 3 and April 21, 2007 Obama’s birthplace changed, due to the work of a lazy biographer in 1991 – which went uncorrected for 16 years. After Obama is impeached, he has a job lined up at GISS.

Rosemary was startled by a ringing telephone, which caused her to accidentally put her foot on the record button for 18 1/2 minutes, and erase a critical section of the Watergate tapes.

Alex Hill, the chief government adviser with the Met Office, told The Scotsman there was no future for skiing in Scotland because climate change would see winters become too warm for regular snowfall.

The North Pole is melting.  The thick ice that has for ages covered the Arctic Ocean at the pole has turned to water, recent visitors there reported yesterday. At least for the time being, an ice-free patch of ocean about a mile wide has opened at the very top of the world, something that has presumably never before been seen by humans and is more evidence that global warming may be real and already affecting climate.

The last time scientists can be certain the pole was awash in water was more than 50 million years ago.  ”It was totally unexpected,” said Dr. James J. McCarthy, an oceanographer, director of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University and the co-leader of a group working for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is sponsored by the United Nations.

Antarctica is likely to be the world’s only habitable continent by the end of this century if global warming remains unchecked, the Government’s chief scientist, Professor Sir David King, said last week.  Antarctica is likely to be the world’s only habitable continent by the end of this century if global warming remains unchecked, the Government’s chief scientist, Professor Sir David King, said last week.

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.

...if you lose the summer sea ice, there are phenomena that could lead you not so very long thereafter to lose the winter sea ice as well. And if you lose that sea ice year round, it’s going to mean drastic climatic change all over the hemisphere.
