Real Climate Science

Top climatologist thinks we are in an El Nino.

Climatologist Cliff Harris says the extreme weather conditions are the worst the world has experienced in 1,000 years.

“It’s been a never-ending cycle,” said Harris in an interview Wednesday from his Idaho home. “Mother Nature is running rampant.”

He said the fluctuation in weather patterns isn’t a fluke; rather, it is part of a 70-year climate period that began in 1968. He said the latest episode of the strange weather began with a La Nina weather pattern, or cooler than normal sea-to-surface temperatures, and ended with an El Nino, warmer than normal water-to-surface temperatures.

I really want to know what the hallucinogen of choice is among climate scientists.

Climate change poses a major threat to future peace and security, a senior UN official has warned.

Achim Steiner from the UN Environment Programme said climate change would also “exponentially” increase the scale of natural disasters.

Starting from a baseline of zero data and simply making hysterical statements without any information to back it up.

His comments followed a UN declaration of famine in parts of Somalia.

Like they never had famines in parts of Somalia before.

Meanwhile, Russia rejected a Security Council statement backed by Western nations which asserted the link, but later agreed to a weaker text.

The Russian envoy Alexander Pankin said he was sceptical about the implications of putting climate change on the security council’s agenda.

Security Council members finally agreed to a text which spoke of the “possible security implications” of climate change.

Temperatures refuse to go up this millennium, so alarmists had to come up with yet another way to jack up temperatures – by 15-30 degrees.

New York City Temperatures to Feel Like 110 as Heat Wave Spreads Into East

By Christine Buurma – Jul 20, 2011 7:58 AM MT

Temperatures in New York, Philadelphia and Washington may feel as high as 110 degrees or more this week as a heat wave spreads from the Midwest into the eastern U.S., increasing energy demand.

Portions of 33 states may have a heat index, which measures air temperature and humidity, above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) tomorrow, according to the National Weather Service. The index reached 131, a level common only along the Red Sea in the Middle East, in Iowa on July 18, according to Weather Underground Inc. in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

“You’re seeing a sustained level of heat and humidity, and you’re not seeing a lot of relief overnight,” said Travis Hartman, a meteorologist at MDA EarthSat Weather in Rockville, Maryland. “Power demand is going to be very high.”

Hudson Bay is ice free every summer for several months. Leading experts tell us that Polar Bears die without ice. Therefore all the Hudson Bay bears are extinct. Even worse, Walt Meier says the entire Arctic was ice free 5,000 years ago, so there can be little doubt that the species has been extinct since the days when King Tut ran around in his jammys.

Global warming is killing polar bear cubs.

This may sound like a typical sensationalist claim by alarmist environmentalists, but it’s backed up by evidence, according to a new study being published in the Canadian Journal of Zoology.

The study found that during swims longer than 30 miles, 45 percent of polar bear cubs who swam with their mothers (5 out of 11) died during the swim.

Steve Amstrup, chief scientist at Polar Bears International, told Reuters that polar bear cubs have less body fat, which makes them less buoyant and more susceptible to the cold arctic waters.

Drowning isn’t the only way melting ice platforms are threatening polar bears; it’s also taking away their habitat and food sources.

Forty years ago, old-timers living in the area around Hudson Bay were lucky to see a polar bear, Nirlungayuk says. “Now there are bears living as far south as James Bay.”
