“If you can’t trust these guys to poll scientists accurately — why would you trust their climate models?”

Posted on October 10, 2010 by Tony Heller

From the San Francisco Chronicle :

I went to the APS web site to check on the controversy on the group’s global warming statement, to which Lewis objected. The short version: “The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring.”

Sea Level Trends Nearly Constant For The Past 100 Years

Posted on October 10, 2010 by Tony Heller

Over the past five years, sea level has risen at an average of 2 mm/year.

But as you can see, this is mainly due to the El Niño spike. If we look at the four years prior to that, the trend lowers to 1.4 mm/year.

DMI Arctic Ice Extent Close To A Record High

Posted on October 10, 2010 by Tony Heller

The press continues to talk incessantly about the Arctic meltdown, while the ice itself is about to set a record high for the date in the DMI database.

Mother Nature seems to be sending the 10/10/10 religious worshipers yet another message.

JPL Acknowledges That The Basis Of Hansen’s Sea Level Numbers Is Wrong

Posted on October 10, 2010 by Tony Heller

Antarctic temperatures are far below freezing all year.

During June, I explained on WUWT that the University of Texas GRACE interpretations were wrong due to glacial rebound (isostasy.) Later in the summer they acknowledged that my explanation was correct.

Introducing 100:100 and 290.org

Posted on October 10, 2010 by Tony Heller

10:10 and 350.org are deluding themselves. Their targets are worthless.

The hockey stick clearly shows that the tipping point occurred in 1900 (green circle) when CO2 levels were 290 ppm. By contrast 350 ppm (1988) is marked by the red circle. Obviously 350 is way past the tipping point and is a meaningless target.

Latest Recruits For 10:10 – Hitler, Franco, Mussolini, Stalin

Posted on October 10, 2010 by Tony Heller

I just checked out Franny “Splattergate” Armstrong’s page at 10:10 and noticed who the latest recruits are. Hitler, Himmler, Pot, Stalin, Mussolini, Franco. They recognize genocidal talent when they see it – even from beyond the grave.

CU October Update : Sea Level Has Dropped 15 mm So Far This Year

Posted on October 10, 2010 by Tony Heller

The University of Colorado just updated their sea level data, and it now shows a drop of 15 mm since the end of last year. If that were to continue, sea level would fall close to 1.5 metres (5 feet) by the end of the century.

Obviously that isn’t going to happen. So what’s my point – Joe?

Romm Proves That Hansen’s Sea Level Forecasts Are Way Out Of Line

Posted on October 10, 2010 by Tony Heller

Joe Romm dependably took the bait, and produced the graph below – which shows that sea level is rising at a rate of 12 inches per century – with a drop since the start of 2010. Of course he didn’t bother to put any units (should be mm) on the graph, because he correctly assumes that his normal audience isn’t very bright.

But wait a minute! Joe has been telling us that it is the hottest year ever, and that the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting like crazy. Shouldn’t sea level be rising much, much faster? After all, Hansen is forecasting 3-6 metres (10-20 feet) of rise this century.

Look For A Record Gain In Multi-Year Ice This Autumn

Posted on October 9, 2010 by Tony Heller

From : http://nsidc.org/images/arcticseaicenews/20101004_Figure6.png

Thanks to the surprising late season selective loss of multi-year ice (MYI) in the Arctic, we are likely to see the area of MYI more than triple over the next few weeks. All of the surviving areas of 1-2 year old ice (turquoise) will soon become multi-year ice (green.)

Chasing The Wrong Story In The Arctic

Posted on October 9, 2010 by Tony Heller

We have had a lot of discussion recently about the loss of 5+ year old ice in the Arctic. Most of the older ice loss occurred between 1988 and 1996 – during a period of normal global temperatures.
