Real Climate Science

In 1925 we had the worst tornado in US history, coupled with fire and “wildly epidemic” smallpox. Life was perfect below 350 ppm.

Starting fifty years ago, nearly every American spent the decade glued to our televisions. We were watching NASA prepare to send a man to the moon. The astronauts’ names were as familiar as those of our best friends.

The country was devastated when Grissom, White and Chaffee died on the ground, and our proudest moment of the last 50 years, was July 20, 1969.  (Actually July 21st for me. I was living in England at the time.)

A few weeks ago, fifty NASA heroes cried out for help. They saw NASA being destroyed by a group of corrupt, incompetent lunatics – and wrote a letter airing their grievances.

This should have been the scandal of the decade, and should have brought an end to James Hansen’s reign of terror, but the press simply chose to bury it.

There is no honor any more. Even the creepy occupant of the White House is trying to take credit for the work of Navy Seals in Pakistan. Fifty years ago he probably would have been forced to resign over such a dishonorable act.

How do we get rid of the scum who have taken over our government and our  press corps(e)?

I was on my way home from Antarctica where I’d just spent a week with Al Gore and 148 environmentalists, scientists, researchers, and entrepreneurs to learn about the stark realities of climate change. Antarctica, Earth’s air conditioner, is the canary in the coal mine for global warming. Meaning, if the climate at the south pole is changing, so too is the rest of the planet. For instance, when land ice that is miles thick melts rapidly and falls into the ocean, sea levels rise. And when sea levels go up, the threat we face are storm surges, coastal floods, and the possibility of drinking water for billions of people becoming contaminated with salt water. Yuck.

What Jason forgot to mention is that temperatures in Antarctica were far below normal and sea ice was far above normal when he was there. He didn’t see any climate change, wouldn’t know it if he saw it, and is just spouting propaganda for Al Gore.

Most of his trip was 10-20C below normal temperatures, like Jan 22 below.

They were in the Ross Sea on February 8, with a huge excess in sea ice.

Andy Revkin has accused Marc Morano of being “divisive and toxic” for exposing incompetence and corruption in the global warming industry.

The guy in the picture below was also accused of being divisive and toxic, for exposing incompetence and corruption in the Soviet Union. (The $100 billion per year global warming industry, would have been 25% of the GDP of the Soviet Union in 1970.)

A few brave men and women is all that is needed to bring down an evil empire.

350.org wants us to connect the dots between extreme weather and CO2. Let’s do it!

The dots say : as CO2 has increased, US hurricane strikes have decreased.

The 1900 Galveston hurricane was the deadliest in US history and killed almost everyone. in the city.

The US hasn’t had a major hurricane strike since 2005, the longest such period in US history. The dots don’t lie.

The difference between them and Osama, is that Osama only wanted to destroy the economy of the west – not the whole world.

Heartland may have politely understated their case.

Suppose for a minute that Hansen’s BS was correct. His Arctic temperatures are warming much faster than the equator, and he says that global warming is accelerating.

If his claims were accurate, eventually the North Pole would be the same temperature as the equator. The earth would completely lose it’s heat engine, and become calm like the atmosphere of Venus – which never has any storms.

Energy flow is driven by differences in energy, not absolute energy. Global warming should produce fewer and weaker storms, not more and stronger storms.
