Real Climate Science

Just because America has experienced 9,000 heat records broken in 2011 so far is no evidence whatsoever that climate change is occurring or global warming is real. The fact that the world is experiencing record heat, colder winters, increased flooding, increased deadly tornados, increased deadly hurricanes, the unexplained deaths of millions of bees, frogs and the accelerated melting of the world’s ice caps isn’t proof of anything.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a federal agency that focuses on the condition of the oceans and atmosphere, said that a severe solar storm could cause global chaos, wreck satellite communications and take down the most important power grids in the world for a period of years.

With solar activity expected to peak around 2013, the Sun is entering a particularly active time and big flares like recent one will likely be common during the next few years.

Most solar flares will only cause minor problems with satellites and power grids, but a major flare in the mid-19th century blocked the nascent telegraph system, and some scientists believe that another such even is now overdue.

According to a report by the National Research Council in 2008, a solar storm similar to the ones in the past could cause up to $2 trillion dollars in damage across the globe today.

The NOAA predicted four “extreme” solar emissions which could threaten the planet this decade. Similarly, NASA warned that a peak in the sun’s magnetic energy cycle and the number of sun spots or flares around 2013 could enable extremely high radiation levels.

Climate change is real, mankind has contributed to it and, in a year in which extreme weather patterns have led to countless deaths, the role of climate change is a question worth researching.

No matter how you slice it, it’s been a horrific year for weather extremes. The St. Louis area just recorded its 17th death from the July heat wave, and the death toll from the Joplin tornado now stands at 160. Mid-Missouri suffered through a historic blizzard. And flooding of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers has kept parts of northwest and southeast Missouri under water for much of the spring and summer.

Earthquakes caused by climate change!

That’s just Missouri’s weather. It doesn’t begin to take into account the Japanese tsunami and earthquake, droughts in Russia, Africa and parts of the United States or flooding in Pakistan.

That great changes have taken place in the climate of Australia all testimonies satisfactorily prove

The aborigines say that the climate has undergone this change since white-man came in country.

I’ve been dealing with alarmist chemistry flunkies since I started writing, so time to start educating them.

Assume equilibrium.

1. What is the vapor pressure of water at the surface of a lake at 0C?
2. What phases of water exist at the surface of a lake at 0C?
3. What is the vapor pressure of water at the surface of a lake at -20C?
4. What phases of water exist at the surface of a lake at -20C?
5. What is the vapor pressure of water at the surface of a lake at 20C?
6. What phases of water exist at the surface of a lake at 20C?
7. At what temperature do we find all three phases of water?

‘The Arctic change Is so serious that I hope an International agency can speedily be formed to study conditions on a global basis.’

in 1910 the navigable season along the western Spitsbergen lasted three months. Now it lasts eight months

The author suggests that the droughts were due to the laws of nature, rather than the intervention of man.
