As CO2 has increased, the number of F3-F5 tornadoes has decreased. Extrapolating the trend, we can see that at 480 ppm there would be zero severe tornadoes.
Dessler says that Spencer’s model matches the data, but it is still wrong.
“He’s taken an incorrect model, he’s tweaked it to match observations, but the conclusions you get from that are not correct,” Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M University, said of Spencer’s new study.
Arthur Smith says that Spencer mismatches the data by a few trillion degrees.
Arthur Smith has now done the full mathematical proof for what I showed by playing around with MATLAB. UPDATED UPDATE: Arthur went on to show that, given the mathematical form of Spencer’s model, he would have to start his model at?To = negative a few trillion degrees in 1000 A.D. to have his model produce a suitable anomaly in 1900 to adequately fit the 20th century data.
Discover Magazine says they are against ad homs – at the end of about 10 paragraphs of them.
I was also surprised to find Spencer is a big supporter of Intelligent Design. I was initially reticent to mention that, since it seems like an ad hominem.

I’m not going to be the one to bring up the subject of Kennedy’s religion. – Richard Nixon
Much of the snow has melted at the southern tip of Greenland, and the tomato plant is now ready for harvest at the local greenhouse.
One of the main reasons I started doing this blogging was because I realized that climate scamsters were going to taint the reputation of all scientists. Now that budget crunch time is here, the whole scientific community will suffer for the sins of the few. NAS and other guilty parties should have done the right thing instead of slopping at the trough.
Boehner’s plan “has no chance of becoming law,” Obama said. “The time for putting party first is over. The time for compromise on behalf of the American people is now. … It’s important for everybody to step up and show the leadership that the American people expect.”

Solution was simple. Turn the US into a third-world banana republic.
Improving Mexican economy draws undocumented immigrants home from California
Mexico’s unemployment rate is now 4.9 percent, compared with 9.4 percent joblessness in the United States.
It is sad, because Mexico doesn’t care about CO2.
Refusing to borrow any more money signals to creditors that we won’t further dilute their investment by printing money. The White House says that this would be catastrophic.
How exactly does increasing confidence lead to catastrophe? Sell some CO2 to Al Gore would be my advice.
We had a bit of snow across The Alps last week, down under it has been dumping with huge falls in New Zealand. In South America it has caused huge problems and some suffering.
