Real Climate Science

In 1986, Hansen told us that the heat would be unbearable by 2006.

John Cook says that Hansen’s forecast from the 1981 was conservative, because “global warming hadn’t really begun to kick in”

Paul Ehrlich – 1972

Ehrlich told us last month that his earlier predictions proved to be correct.

The BBC announced this week that climate skeptics are like terrorists and pedophiles.

They also told us that the Arctic will be ice free by 2013.

“In the end, it will just melt away quite suddenly”

Four years ago, BOM’s leading expert declared that Australia was in a permanent drought.

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.

Since his ingenious  remarks, Australia has had its wettest two year period on record.

[page 6] The Arctic ice—where polar bears live, hunt, and even den—has been melting so fast that scientists estimate the entire Arctic summer could be ice-free within just a few years.

Tom Nelson: Hayhoe in her 2009 book “A Climate for Change”: “scientists estimate the entire Arctic summer could be ice-free within just a few years”

Ice is melting so fast, that the area is now above normal – and the highest for the date in seven or eight years.

The weather of the 21st century will be very much like the hot and dry weather of 2011. Giving extra credibility to this forecast is the fact that the weather extremes that we are presently experiencing were predicted in the first edition in 1995.

– Andrew Dessler July 10, 2011

Texas has been having weather extremes since day one. Dessler might as well predict that the sun comes up in the morning. Sad to think that people that clueless are corrupting the minds of college students.

At the beginning of March, The Arctic Institute wrote a hit piece on meteorologist Mark Johnson, in which they declared that Arctic ice was not close to two standard deviations. That day, it went within two standard deviations and has stayed that way ever since.

Demonstrating once again that the vast majority of climate experts are completely incompetent.

Germany is on the brink of an energy catastrophe, while California is on the brink of financial collapse. Both places chose to replace rational thought with green fog.

Germany has escaped several times last winter just large-scale power outages. In the next, possibly more severe winter, the risk of large blackouts is even greater

The culprit is the single most important instrument of German energy policy: the “Renewable Energy Law“, in short EEG. It stipulates the priority of green electricity supply. What was once useful as an aid to market introduction of wind and solar power was, today, 12 years later, disastrous side effects.

Meanwhile, Jerry Brown has managed to double the state budget deficit, with his policy of trying to steal $15 billion/year in CO2 taxes.

Need your climate adjusted? – call Dr. James Hansen at GISS. Below is a chronology of the destruction and politicization of the US and global temperature record.

The Northern Hemisphere used to have a broken hockey stick problem. According to the National Academy Of Sciences in 1975, the hemisphere had cooled 0.7C since the 1930s, and was colder than it was at the turn of century.

Dr. Hansen realized he had a problem when he took over – that data didn’t look anything like a hockey stick. So he fixed it! You can do such cool stuff when you are pushing an agenda, and you control the historical record.

The figure below shows Hansen’s remarkable changes to the pre-1975 temperature data. He simply removed that pesky warm period from 1890 to 1940.

But that was just the beginning of Hansen’s history rewrite. He had another problem – the United States.
