Real Climate Science

Temperatures may have dropped so far this century, but later on CO2 will wake from it’s slumber and totally kick our asses for being so evil.

That is how science works.

Glen Canyon rising from doomed Lake Powell

Exploring Utah’s Lake Powell several weeks ago, I expected to find a wide, placid reservoir. Instead, a friend and I whipped along in a brisk current flowing between 20-foot-high sand banks. Suddenly, the channel narrowed and the smooth water erupted into 6-foot-high standing waves. Our boat flipped. Flushed downstream in the cold, muddy water, we understood what recent hydrology studies have been indicating: The Colorado River is taking back its canyon.

Lake Powell will soon be no more — at least the Lake Powell that Americans have known for nearly 40 years: the green lake shimmering incongruously in the baking red desert of southern Utah and northern Arizona, a play land for houseboaters created when the federal Bureau of Reclamation shut the gates of the new Glen Canyon Dam in 1963.

Wow, all it took was 0.3 degrees to freeze over the Thames.

How would a Solar Grand Minimum affect global warming?

Posted on 16 June 2011 by John Cook
Solar physicists have issued a prediction that the sun may be entering a period of unusually low activity called a grand minimum. This has climate skeptics speculating that solar ‘hibernation’ may be our get-out-of-jail-free card, cancelling out any global warming from our CO2 emissions. However, peer-reviewed research has examined this very scenario, “On the effect of a new grand minimum of solar activity on the future climate on Earth” (Feulner & Rahmstorf 2010). What they found was even if the sun fell into a grand minimum, global temperature would be diminished by no more than 0.3°C. The sun is not our get-out-of-jail-free card.

There is some imagery we can all stay away from.

However, decent honest people are fair game for the crime of having written official E-mails as Governor.

I’m pretty sure we had ATMs under Bush when unemployment was below 5%

“There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to become much more efficient with a lot fewer workers,” lectured Obama in an interview with NBC’s Ann Curry. “You see it when you go to a bank and you use an ATM, you don’t go to a bank teller, or you go to the airport and you’re using a kiosk instead of checking in at the gate.”
