Southeastern Colorado is listed as being in an “extreme drought” today. Over the next week, they are forecast (by WRF) to get more than one fourth of their normal annual precipitation.

When the air temperature is cold, the saturation vapour pressure of water decreases – making it easier to precipitate. That is why wet weather tends to occur when it is cold.

California gets almost no precipitation during the summer, despite the fact that there is more moisture in the air than in winter. Climatologists who claim that recent heavy precipitation is due to warming temperatures, are wrong on all counts.

It is amazing that some PhD’s can have so little understanding of the fundamentals of their degreed profession.

Vostok ice core data

Over the last sixty years, atmospheric CO2 has risen almost 50% higher than at any other time during the last 400,000 years. Temperatures at Vostok during that time have been flat to down.

The implication is that climate sensitivity is zero, and that past (lagging) changes in CO2 are are due to outgassing and absorption of CO2 by the oceans.

Why is this obvious fact being ignored by climate scientists?

Hansen says that multi-metre sea level rise this century is “dead certain.”

Finally, Obama delivers on a campaign promise.

The climate models and those who use them got everything exactly wrong, which is why they will claim victory.

I’ve been running NCAR’s WRF weather model (using GFS boundary conditions) for the last few weeks, and comparing vs commercial forecasts. WRF has been doing considerably better than the standard Internet forecast sites.

For example, I generated this eight day precipitation forecast three days ago and was surprised by the very large amounts of rain being predicted in Colorado and northern New Mexico.

Sure enough, it has been spot on – we have gotten nearly a quarter of our normal annual rainfall in just a few days, with no end in site for three more days.

Has there ever been a movement so steeped in human stupidity as this one?
