Real Climate Science

The press has been telling us for decades that cold and snow don’t happen much any more because of global warming, and now that we are having a lot of cold and snow – they call it “extreme weather” caused by global warming and say it is “not normal.”

I have released a new version of the Unhiding The Decline climate graphing software. Download UNHIDING.zip from this link and unzip it. This will create a directory structure UNHIDING\UNHIDING\ghcnd_hcn\output

Open up a command prompt window in the UNHIDING directory which the unzip created, and enter these commands.

cd UNHIDING\ghcnd_hcn
.\ghcn.exe US.list months=05

Wait a few minutes and if things are working correctly, this window will pop up.

If you have used my earlier version, you will notice that the UI has changed. You can now plot two different graphs, Y and Y2. The graph below plots US Burn Area on Y, and atmospheric CO2 on Y2.

To create the graph above :

1. Click on the Y AXIS SELECT button
2. Click on US Burn Area in the grey box at left
3. Click on the Y2 AXIS Select Button
4. Click on CO2 in the grey box at left

Enter a start year of 1926, and end year of 2020 as shown below.
Set the checkboxes as shown below.
Press the Draw Plot button – that will create the graph.

To save an image of the graph, press the Save Image button. That will save the graph image as a .png file in the UNHIDING\ghcnd_hcn\output directory.

The new code can also be run by experienced Mac and Linux users as a python script.

python3 ghcn.py US.list months=05

People with UNIX like environments can update the temperature data from NOAA with these commands:

cd ..
./get
cd ghcnd_hcn

The new code has a large amount of features which I haven’t documented here. Feel free to look at the python script ghcn.py and figure them out.  Everything is contained in that file.

I will leave you with one more usage example for Upper Midwest summer temperatures.

.\ghcn.exe US.list months=060708 states=WIMNIAMOILINOHMI

I plan to make a video showing usage in more detail.

Kirye(@KiryeNet) suggested that I add the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation into my graphing software. US winter temperatures track the AMO.

The EPA has brought back their website detailing “ongoing climate threats” which were being suppressed by the Trump Administration.

Heat waves across the country are more frequent, more intense, and last longer. Wildfires are burning more land. The East and Gulf Coasts are flooding more often, while ice sheets are disappearing and sea levels are rising.

The first graph on their website shows CO2 concentrations, in an attempt to link CO2 with climate.

Then they have heatwave graphs going back to the 1960s, showing heatwaves increasing.

Their old heatwave graph shows that they cherry picked the lowest point in the dataset, and that heatwaves were much less severe in the second half of the 20th century than in the first half.

The National Climate Assessment showed the same thing.

Summers are also getting shorter, with May temperatures getting cooler

Summers have gotten much cooler in the US over the past century.

September temperatures are getting cooler as well.

On May 22, 1911, almost the entire northeast US was over 90F (32C) and Maine was over 100F (38C.)

The EPA shows forest fires burn acreage has been increasing since 1983.

The entire US Forest Service data set shows that burn acreage has plummeted as CO2 has increased.

By cherry-picking a start date of 1983 and greatly exaggerating the Y-axis, they make it appear like CO2 and burn acreage correlate.

Sea ice extent at both poles is close to the 1981-2010 median.

The last time CO2 levels were this high, temperatures were 5F warmer – meaning that this time, they are 5F cooler. In other words, CO2 doesn’t control the temperature.

The push to demonize beef is the work of sociopaths, not scientists.

Ten years ago this week, children in Boulder, Colorado sued the state to stop global warming.

Their lawsuit must have worked, because there has been no change in Boulder temperatures during the second half of their lives.
