Real Climate Science

That Isn’t CO2

One of the dumbest arguments of all times. It goes like this – CO2 is a forcing and H2O is a feedback. CO2 has a long residency time, H2O doesn’t. CO2 controls the climate by feeding back H2O . …. Blah blah blah. This argument forms  the basis of global stupidity warming theory, but is fundamentally flawed.

1. You could never get water vapor concentration down to CO2 levels. There will always be more H2O resident in the atmosphere than CO2.
2. Humans introduce huge amounts of H2O into the atmosphere through irrigation, artificial lakes, burning fossil fuels, jet engines, etc.
3. If positive feedback was actually a problem, anthropogenic H2O would be causing more feedback than anthropogenic CO2. Does the climate care which greenhouse gas molecule is making things hotter?

1922 set the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded. 136F in Libya. It also saw record heat in the Arctic, massive typhoons, huge floods and snowstorms. Joe Romm would have been hysterical at 310 ppm CO2.

Eastern Arctic didn’t freeze during the winter

Glaciers disappeared

The Ohio River flooded 54 feet deep.

Nothing is ever clear with Obama, that is why he babbles to himself the same things over and over again.

The 2003 and 2010 heatwaves were unprecedented, no doubt.

GISS reports that the average temperatures in Tromo, Norway during July and August, 1922 – were a cool 14.8 and 11.9 C.

But a newspaper report from the same summer shows extremely hot temperatures.

Tromso, for six  weeks, has experienced temperatures ranging from 90 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

How do we verify that GISS historical records are accurate?

Horrific “climate change” with CO2 at very safe levels – well below 350 ppm.

Devastating warming going on in Antarctica, as seen in the graph below.

And soon the ice will be all gone.
