Real Climate Science

Without nuclear power, the Earth will become uninhabitable for thousands of years.

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.

The U.S. has warmed during the past century, but the warming hardly exceeds year-to-year variability. Indeed, in the U.S. the warmest decade was the 1930s and the warmest year was 1934.

1934 was (by far) the hottest year in US history, until USHCN and Hansen adjusted it downwards 10 years ago.

But the other half of the big lie is the claim that the heat and drought was a US-only event. Reader Ivan dug up a bunch of historical references showing that it was indeed a worldwide event.

Gore has wanted to get even with the US since his chads gut hung, but nature just won’t cooperate.

h/t to TinyCO2

I just posted a question for Joe Romm on his web site, asking him to do a calculation of CO2 sensitivity in the 21st century. HadCRUT temperatures down 0.1C with CO2 up 20 ppm.

My post never even made to to “pending” state. What a guy that Joe Romm is – cut from the mold of the old Soviet Union.

Red shows massive ice loss – with CO2 below 300 ppm.

Many warmists believe that they can stop glacial retreat by reducing CO2 to 350 ppm, once again indicating problems with the legalization of medical marijuana.

Does he have any clue that he is undermining Hansen and Schmidt’s last refuge? Go for it Joe!

Someone tell the Koch brothers to send me a check!

The author should go live in a cave in “exceptionally mild” Greenland. He could warm it with radioactive waste.
