Real Climate Science

The winds have stopped blowing in the Arctic which is why the ice edge has stopped moving.

Last year I wrote a piece on WUWT explaining that Antarctic ice doesn’t melt at -30C, and that University of Texas claims of East Antarctic ice loss were just plain daft.  John Cook then wrote up a three part “rebuttal” which managed to completely avoid any of the issues I raised.

It now looks like NASA has also realized that ice doesn’t melt at -30C.

Antarctic Ice’s Future Still Mired in Its Murky Past

Richard A. Kerr

A new reanalysis by two NASA scientists of the three standard ice-monitoring techniques slashes the estimated loss from East Antarctica, challenging the large, headline-grabbing losses reported lately for the continent as a whole.

There has been almost no ice extent loss over the last two days

Compared to the same date in 2007, when the East Siberian Sea was in rapid retreat due to strong southerly winds.

Compared to the September 2007, minimum

Apparently it is no huge deal under Norwegian law to kill a few dozen kids, but think of all the CO2 this guy is responsible for! They can’t throw away the key for murder, but perhaps his climate crimes could get him incarcerated for life.

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli was taken off early in a friendly at LA Galaxy after his manager thought he was failing to take the match seriously.

The 20-year-old was clear on goal but, instead of shooting, opted to drag the ball back before backheeling it wide.

“I hope this is a lesson,” said boss Roberto Mancini, who denied Balotelli may have thought that he was offside.

“If you [Balotelli] are serious, you can play 90 minutes. If not, you can come and sit by me on the bench.”

Never mind the record cold and snow in Yellowstone, models say it is getting hot and dry there. Did the author not notice the snow in the picture?

Below is a Yellowstone fire from 110 years ago which would have required “all the men in Wyoming and Montana to put out.”  This massive fire occurred three weeks before the deadliest hurricane in US history.

According to Paul Ehrlich, England disappeared in a cloud of blue steam over 11 years ago. Then the polar bear population tripled, and now the Mussels are doomed because of CO2.

Never mind that shellfish evolved with CO2 levels 10-20 times higher than today. If you are paid to produce global warming tripe, sometimes you just have to publish really, really bad science which shows that neither you nor your peer-reviewers ever should have ever made it past high school.

The iconic California mussel could be among the first casualties of oceans made more acidic by global warming, a new study of the coastal shellfish shows.

But increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that climate scientists attribute to human activity are already showing signs of working their way into the oceans.”Indications from records are that acidity increased by about 30 percent in the last 250 years,” Gaylord said.

Wonderful CO2 tripe!  As discussed earlier today, Monterey Bay measurements  show no change in pH over the last 15 years.

Below is a Mussel picture I took last month in Santa Barbara. They look like they are doing just fine.

Global warming is more like voodoo than science.
