Real Climate Science

A few weeks ago, Jeff Masters told us that global warming had finally taken over the Eastern US, once and for all. He described it as a “whole new atmosphere.”

CLEVELAND – It was what grape growers in Northern Ohio feared the most. Early Sunday morning, temperatures in the Grand River Valley vineyards of Lake and Ashtabula Counties dropped into the lower and middle 20s. That’s not just a quick frost. That’s a hard freeze. By 9 that morning, most of the primary buds, the growth that gives you the best fruit, were black and shriveled, killed by freezing temperatures.

“Fields that froze this week have not frozen in 50-60 years in our area.” he added, “In my case I just bought 54 acres of a neighboring farm last year that has never really frozen like this. The previous owner is 93 years old and has owned the farm I bought since 1956 and never experienced this complete a frost.”

Most of us determined a few hundred years ago that it is not OK to demonize people based upon their belief system.

Pachauri is a bit of a Neanderthal however, and believes that society most stop anyone who disagrees with him that the Himalayas will be gone in 22 years. Just when you thought the dark ages were over.

Climate scepticism threatens people, planet – IPCC chief

BANGKOK (AlertNet) – Continuing scepticism about climate change in some parts of the world threatens the planet and the people on it, according to Rajendra K. Pachauri, chief of the Nobel-prize winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Bob Berwyn spends his days spewing global warming tripe, while his neighbor – who is an actual scientist – tries to clean up the intellectual waste left behind by Berwyn.

Copper resident says climate change advocates shadow real concerns

Martin Hertzberg says global warming is a farce.

Even if advocates of the phenomenon are right about their claim the Earth is warming, it’s not because of humans, he says.

“If there is any global warming, it’s natural. But I would go further. The theory that human emission of carbon dioxide having an effect … that theory, in my humble opinion as a scientist, is one of the greatest frauds in the history of science,” Hertzberg said.

The bottom line is that carbon dioxide has a minimal impact on climatology, he says. And he should know, because he was a meteorologist in the Navy, and has since taught the subject as well as turned it into his retirement hobby for the past 15 years.

Since the start of the global warming fad, as he might call it, in the mid-1990s, and since he moved to Copper Mountain as a full-time resident in 1996, he’s delved into the subject. He’s published several papers and coauthored a book titled “Slaying the Sky Dragon: Death of the Greenhouse Gas Theory.” He rarely lets any mention of climate change in the pages of the Summit Daily go unchallenged, and opinion page readers are accustomed to seeing him voice his doubts on a regular basis.

Hertzberg holds a PhD in physical chemistry from Stanford before being trained as a meteorologist — which is where he came to know water vapor and its impact on weather.

Bill McKibben held a fake ski race today on no snow in May at Aspen – to prove global warming.

Eighty years ago he could have held that event in January at Lake Placid. According to Vice-President Biden, 1932 was three years after (not-yet-President) Roosevelt went on (not-yet-existent) TV to talk to America about the stock market crash.

STEAMBOAT CRUSHES SNOW RECORD: 34 INCHES OF CHAMPAGNE POWDER!
Posted By: Kristin Park on February 20, 2012 4:04 pm

Today marks a new record for Steamboat, Colorado with the most snow of any resort in Colorado in a 24-hour period with a monstrous 27 inches at mid-mountain and the summit.  Since the 5 a.m. report, another seven inches have floated down bringing the total to a whopping 34 inches!

The snow started dumping yesterday afternoon at around 1 p.m. when a storm rolled in, and picked up speed throughout the rest of the day and last night.  It added significantly to the 75-inch base at mid-mountain and 82-inch bask at the summit.  There doesn’t seem to be any signs of stopping, and that doesn’t concern any of the mountain enthusiasts in the area.  Another storm is expected on Tuesday, and skiers and snowboarders are welcoming it with open arms.  Still others are predicted for the throughout the rest of the week as well.

February 2012 Could Go Down As Denver’s Snowiest

DENVER (CBS4) – Thursday’s snow in the Denver metro area added to what has been a snowy February — one of the snowiest yet.

The snowiest Februaries on record BEFORE THE START OF THIS MONTH were as follows:

1912 – 22.1
1942 – 19.5
1909 – 18.3
1931 – 18
1959 – 17.5

As of Friday, 2012 is showing a total of 20.2 inches of snow for Denver (1.9 inches fell on Thursday officially in Denver). That makes it the No. 2 snowiest February on record.

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) – Aspen Ski Area hosted a ski race without snow Saturday to highlight the effect climate change has on the outdoor recreation industry.

Auden Schendler, Aspen Skiing Company’s vice president of sustainability, says “climate change is already pounding businesses and communities, whether you’re a ski resort, an insurance agency or a raft business.”

The day’s events were organized by 350.org, an environmental group co-founded by Vermont activist Bill McKibben.

Aspen Mountain rarely has skiable snow in May. Last year had the best spring skiing in history. These fraudsters are completely FOS.

Aspen flirts with powder record
Only December 1983 tops this month.

ASPEN — This month is shaping up as the second snowiest December in Aspen since someone started keeping records in 1934.

ASPEN, Colorado — If it felt like the snow never stopped in April it wasn’t just your imagination.

Aspen appears to have set a record with 36.35 inches of snow for April, barely eclipsing the old mark of 36 inches in 1970, according to Charlie Bailey, water treatment supervisor with the Aspen Water Department.

Aspen Snowfall Records were beaten this week as the best Powder Skiing in the history of Spring Skiing was enjoyed by the Jet-Set New York crowd who flies West each season for their own special blend of “March Madness”. Meanwhile, back in NYC, unwelcome snow was just causing a big mess for those not so fortunate, back on the grind for the 1st day of April…

The Committee To Re-Elect The President (CREEP) broke into DNC headquarters at the Watergate Hotel.

The five men were Virgilio González, Bernard Barker, James W. McCord, Jr., Eugenio Martínez, and Frank Sturgis, who were charged with attempted burglary and attempted interception of telephone and other communications.

Watergate scandal – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This was considered a huge scandal by the New York Times and The Washington Post, who devoted the next three years to bringing the president down.

Oddly enough, when Peter Gleick committed the same crimes in 2012, the Washington Post and New York Times determined that his crimes were for the good of the planet, and definitely not worthy of further investigation.

A few weeks after I played golf with Gene Roddenberry in August, 1972 – Yasser Arafat  earned the Nobel Peace Prize for murdering the Israeli Olympic team in Munich, and inventing the modern plane hijacking.

Later recipients of this distinguished prize included Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama and Rajendra Pachauri.

Huffington Post made this claim a few days ago.

Maine’s temperatures rose 1.9 degrees Celsius in the last century and another 2.24 degree rise is projected by 2104.

Shoshana Zuboff: When Global Warming Ate My Life

I pointed out that wasn’t correct. There has been no warming in Maine, even after NCDC’s 0.6F upwards adjustment.

Look at the progression of stupidity by team HuffPo, and  in particular the last comment.

These people can’t really be as stupid as they pretend to be. Here is the NCDC data plotted in Excel. Exactly the same as their graph.

The claimed climate science death threats didn’t occur and were just more BS from the global warming community.

By contrast, left wing lunatics regularly engage in violence. Trotsky, Mao, Ayers, Kaczinsky, Lee …..
