Real Climate Science

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.

“Climate change is leading to other crises, such as the Arab Spring.”

“Somalia and the Arab Spring are examples of our problems,” Parenti said. “It will be interesting to see what effect the drought in the United States will have on grain prices internationally and what it will do politically.

The prevailing science provides clear evidence that the polar ice caps are melting. Arctic shipping lanes, which for the centuries of humanity’s existence have been frozen, are now clearing in parts. The air overall is sodden with water vapor, and temperatures worldwide continue to climb. Also note the rising sea levels.

Weather patterns are changing, and severe weather is becoming far more extreme and violent. We have seen it in this region in the heavy snowfalls in some places, droughts and searing heat in others.

virtually all climate scientists, as well as the academies of science of most Western nations, agree global warming is real and dangerous and, for that matter, significantly the result of human activities. Yes, the only real scientific debate is what to do about it.

From the BSES trip log. Looks like The Guardian and BBC entirely fabricated their stories about missing sea ice as the cause.

Sea Ice and Polar Bears!

July 27th, 2011

After arriving in Longyearbyen to see our first midnight sun we were all so relived to see our tents set up and waiting. I think we must of all dreamt of Polar bears because the next day was eagerly waiting for the ice flows to break up so we could move on to base camp. There was a P.bear sighting across the fjord about a mile away. Unfortunately a Westerly wind and freak climatic events have led to an unprecedented amount of ice in the fjord meaning we are marooned here for the time being. Despite this everyone was in good spirits because we encountered another P.bear floating on the ice, this time we were lucky enough to borrow an kind Norwegian guides telescope to see it properly. After that experience I can say for sure that everyone dreamt of P.bears that night. The ice flows are still dominating the fjord and our movements. We understand the depression causing the Westerly wind may not move off until Sunday. In light of this we have planned to strike camp and re locate to a more remote part of the island – should we find ourselves un able to get the boats to base camp again. During our time here we have explored Longyearbyen’s surrounding area. Although we are all itching to move to base camp, many including myself are thinking of home and the people awaiting our return. We are all thinking about you and want you to know everyone is enjoying themselves. Five weeks will fly by out here.

I have written too much now but there is still so much more to say, so be anticipating the many stories we will be coming home with.

Sea level is almost as high as it was 45 years ago!

This article is almost completely unintelligible, just like the thought process of climate model true believers.

The CSIRO agrees with Mr Watson’s findings showing a deceleration of sea-level rises in Australasian coastal waters in the second half of the 20th century but argues they have no bearing on IPCC projections of global sea rise this century.

This is despite the IPCC projections – and subsequent CSIRO projections – assuming a dramatic acceleration in sea-level rises this century because of the impact of global warming.

On Thursday he was at 45%, and today is up to 47%

Maybe a full blown stock market crash and losing WWIII could put him back up over 50?
