Romm cleverly chose a graph which stopped in 2007, before the La Nina kicked in. Being the helpful person that I am, I updated Cook’s graph to include the latest GISS (red circle.)

You are welcome Joe. Your global warming panic is a joke.

Romm is featuring this graph from “Evangelical Christian” John Cook.

Note that temperatures rose as fast from 1910 to 1940 as they did from 1970 to 2000.

This is solid evidence that the warming is not due to CO2, which only rose 10 ppm from 1910 to 1940. If you use the latest climate science 30 year lag rule, their problem gets even worse – because the 1910-1940 rise was due to the tiny rise in CO2 from before the automobile was invented.

Now, let’s put the graph at the same scale as Hansen’s predictions.

Temperatures have fallen below Hansen’s Scenario C (bottom dotted line)

“scenario C assumes a rapid curtailment of trace gas emissions such that the net climate forcing ceases to increase after the year 2000.”

Cook’s graph obliterates their case, yet they introduce it as evidence.

Global Warmers vs Humanity dismissed.

2010 one of the hottest on record

The United Nations is full of surprises.

Our friends believe that the Arctic looks like the picture below, dated January 17. The ice is melting, temperatures are above freezing. Commercial ships are happily sailing from Europe to Asia, occasionally dodging a small ice cube.

Somehow though, when Arctic air arrives in the US – it becomes extremely cold. For example, -35F at International Falls, Minnesota this weekend.

Using the Far Left Law Of Thermodynamics, the refrigerator door is left open. As the cold air from the north mixes with warmer air from the south, the cold air gets much colder.

These geniuses are in control of our government.

Simple solution to the non-problem. Stop pretending the climate models are anything other than academic toys.

WASHINGTON, DC, January 19, 2011 (ENS) – Presidents Barack Obama and Hu Jintao of China, who is in Washington on an official state visit, said in a joint statement this afternoon that they “view climate change and energy security as two of the greatest challenges of our time.” In an open letter today, U.S. environmental leaders urged the presidents to adopt “a wartime-like mobilization” to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

China is the world’s highest emitter of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, with the United States a close second.

We had a Chinook earlier in the week which melted all the ice off the roads. This was followed by a cold front yesterday afternoon that dropped an inch of snow and  turned into black ice on the roadways.

My ride home from work was on the ice, with a 30 mile an hour gusty cross wind and wind chills below zero F. Keeping a bicycle upright in those conditions is interesting – to say the least.

How many people in Boston will freeze to death this weekend?
