Real Climate Science

October brought record snow to the northeast, and another blast is coming at the end of April.

The USA Today author seems a bit confused about the difference between “facing off” and “jerking off”.  A face off involves two people, and would mean actually showing up for a debate – something the hockey team would never do.

Michael Mann faces off with foes on ‘Hockey Stick’ tour

Hockey sticks and brawls aren’t just for NHL playoff games. Climate scientist Michael Mann has the scars to prove it. But along the way he has picked up some fans as well.

The “Hockey Stick” — the term given to a graph depicting the globe’s average temperatures over the last millennium, looking like a flat shaft with a “blade” spiking upward at the end of the 20th Century — made Penn State’s Mann and his colleagues into magnets for controversy among climate naysayers. Largely, they criticized the hockey stick’s stark depiction, based for the most part on tree-ring data, of rising temperatures driven by global warming. The graph became famous after it appeared in a 2001 United Nations climate panel report.

Critics, most notably Canadian mining executive Steve McIntyre, argued that the type of statistics Mann used to collate past temperatures from tree rings inevitably introduced biases toward warming in the hockey stick reconstruction. But among scientists, a 2006 National Academy of Sciences report headed by Texas A&M’s Gerald North that largely vindicated temperature reconstructions settled a lot of debate.

A “climate naysayer” would be someone who doesn’t believe that there is a climate?

The US Navy is forecasting very little change in Arctic ice extent over the next four days. This is due to abnormally cold water on both sides of the Arctic Basin, near Greenland and Alaska. Normally we would expect to see Bering Sea ice disappearing very quickly now.

What happened at real-science has nothing to do with climate or climate alarmism. It was a violation by a trusted person with access to site admin privileges.

Some people have been experiencing IP block for the last week. That is a different issue – some scumbag convinced McAfee that real-science was evil.

I will reveal more information soon, but am trying to figure out how to do this with minimum damage to someone I should have been able to trust.

Big favor to ask. Could everyone who sees this please post comments with the correct information on real-science.com? Thanks much!

This is a long story. The work of somebody who isn’t thinking very clearly.

I am fine and will be posting on this site in the future.

No doubt this looks like a publicity stunt, but I had nothing to do with it.

In a sure sign of devastating global warming, Arctic ice area is nearly one standard deviation above normal.

Meanwhile, Antarctic ice has been above normal for the entire year.
