Hopefully John won’t start crying. They had a chance to restore investor confidence and instead chose to behave like complete idiots.
Few people in the real world believe your bullshit any more, Barry . You might have to try actually acting like an adult at some point in your life.
The red line represents the minimum amount of loss likely over the next month. It could melt back further than that, but probably not less.
On balance, the US was wetter than normal in July.
“It’s been a long, tough journey. But we have made some incredible strides together. Yes, we have. But the thing that we all ought to remember is that as much as good as we have done, precisely because the challenges were so daunting, precisely because we we were inheriting so many challenges, that we’re not even halfway there yet. When I said ‘change we can believe in’ I didn’t say ‘change we can believe in tomorrow.’ Not change we can believe in next week. We knew this was going to take time because we’ve got this big, messy, tough democracy,” President Obama said at a campaign fundraiser in Chicago on Wednesday night.

After waiting for Cryosat2 and a successor to PIPS2 for years, sea ice experts seem to have chosen to ignore the new data, and instead cling to their PIOMAS model and Hansen’s claims about record temperatures. The core of Arctic Basin ice is clearly recovering in thickness, age and extent.
with the credibility of climate change scientists in doubt, some of them have responded by doubling down. They dismiss Climategate as trivial, increasing their criticism of skeptics as ignorant, unscientific and tools of fossil fuel companies. And of course they continue to churn out studies finding more harmful effects of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW), despite the lack of evidence that computer models can accurately depict climate decades into the future.
That approach has backfired, says The Moderate Voice:
Another credibility problem arises from the incessant claims that there is scientific “consensus” about AGW. When people that hear that claim are also aware of the very real dissenters and doubters including at least some scientists as well as the studies that present data that at least calls AGW theory into doubt, they naturally wonder what else global warming theory promoters might be lying about. For those familiar with the scientific method, the methodological defect of a “non-falsifiable theory” which occurred after AGW was recast as more generic and bi-directional “climate change” exacerbates the credibility problem.

Arctic sea ice at record low for JulyArctic sea ice extent averaged for July 2011 reached the lowest level for the month in the 1979 to 2011 satellite record, even though the pace of ice loss slowed substantially during the last two weeks of July.
Probably what they meant to say was that the melt rate was at a record low and had essentially flatlined over the last two weeks.
I have a supercomputer at my house. It contains an Nvidia Tesla card capable of doing over one trillion calculations per second. Twenty years ago it would have been the most powerful computer on Earth.
Many climate scientists seem to be under the impression that having very powerful hardware somehow overcomes a lack of understanding of the climate system. Joe D’Aleo sent this over.
Supercomputers may help predict climate changes locally
