Real Climate Science

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.

Ain’t summer grand!

This story wreaks of stupidity, adult irresponsibility and incompetence. There is no reason for children to be put through hell like this. One guy walking around a wooded island looking for kids to shoot for 90 minutes, would have been an incredibly easy target to take down. Anyone with minimal rifle training and a scope could have taken this guy out in a matter of a couple of minutes. I can put twenty out of twenty .223 rounds in a three  inch circle at 100 yards without even concentrating. There was a news helicopter filming the shooting. Why weren’t they shooting bullets instead of news reel?

(Reuters) – “Why didn’t you come earlier?,” survivors screamed when Norwegian police arrived after an hour in which Anders Behring Breivik had wandered the wooded island of Utoeya shooting dead 68 people, most of them teenagers.
In a nation united by grief over the worst massacre in its modern history, few except the survivors quoted by media have criticized authorities for not preventing the attacks or for the speed of their response once they had been carried out.

Already reeling from Breivik’s bomb in Oslo, the police response to the island massacre was beset with problems — from a boat so overloaded with officers it took on water, to special forces without a suitable helicopter to fly them there.

Meanwhile the minutes ticked by and Breivik hunted down his victims who hid under beds, climbed trees and hid in bushes or jumped into the lake in desperate attempts to flee.

It was 5.26 p.m. Friday when local police in Nordre Buskerud first received an alert about shootings on the island. Four minutes later they notified Oslo and another eight minutes after that they formally requested back-up.

Fourteen minutes later still, local police arrived at the shore of the mainland, but for a further 17 minutes waited for a boat.

“We asked for help from the SWAT team in Oslo, which is specially trained to deal with armed situations. We did not know about the extent of the situation that was out there,” North Buskerud police chief Sissel Hammer was quoted as saying by the Dagsavisen daily newspaper.

“But this was not about waiting, this was 17 minutes during which we prepared ourselves.”

Meanwhile campers on the lake shore had taken matters into their own hands and set off in boats to pluck survivors from the water, some of them coming under fire from Breivik in the process. One camper alone rescued 40 to 50 terrified people
