Real Climate Science

Last summer I posted an article about bogus GRACE interpretations of ice loss in the interior of Antarctica, which were later confirmed by JPL to be in error.

From my article :

Some of the regions in which GRACE claims ice loss in East Antarctica average colder than -30°C during the summer, and never, ever get above freezing. How can you melt ice at those temperatures?

How did John Cook respond? He posted a lengthy three part straw man “rebuttal” discussing movement of glaciers near the coast, where temperatures are warmer. Which obviously was not what I was referring to.

Belief in AGW seems to be driven by comprehension problems.

I noted in my previous article that NSIDC did not advance the age of the week 37, 2010 ice in the animation in Walt Meier’s WUWT article. The week 37 blink comparator above makes two important changes to the ice representation.

I’m confused now. It was supposed to be this guy.

But, then Saint Nancy threw her hat in the ring. “I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet.”

Most things in the UK last a long time. The temperate climate and stable geology preserve the works of man for hundreds of generations. The British Museum has the finest collection of stolen recovered artifacts in the world. Even the Luftwaffe had limited success at destroying their heritage.

But now the UK is faced with a new foe, more powerful than anything they have seen before. A hundred extra ppm of CO2 has brought the rail lines to the brink.

Isn’t that the truth. The coastal blue party which brought cap-and-trade to America, is about to have their eastern habitat overrun by their rival red clan from the central portions of the landmass. Global warming can indeed claim entire populations!

The animation which Dr. Meier from NSIDC posted on WUWT is very helpful.

It shows how old NSIDC believes the ice is, for each week from mid-September 2009 to mid-September 2010. So theoretically we should be able to do an apples for apples comparison between the start and end dates. But there is a major problem …

The new Arctic Report Card, released Thursday, “tells a story of widespread, continued and even dramatic effects of a warming Arctic,” said Jackie Richter-Menge of the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers facility.

Colorado Republican Senate Candidate Ken Buck said this yesterday :

“Sen. Inhofe was the first person to stand up and say this global warming is the greatest hoax that has been perpetrated,” Buck said to loud cheers. “The evidence just keeps supporting his view, and more and more people’s view, of what’s going on.”

Yesterday I wrote that I “don’t get paid” to write. That was true for the last couple of years, but as of this afternoon is less accurate.

SPPI published an article they commissioned a few months ago, and now it is online.

Thanks much to SPPI. Let me know what you think of the article.

And no, I don’t receive any compensation for writing this blog …..

Randolph should take a camping trip to the warming Arctic. I hear it is full of hot babes in bikinis.
