Fourteen years ago, the leading government and academic experts predicted a 100 year long drought for the US.

The US has had its wettest years on record since that forecast was made.

As I reported yesterday, the Kamala Harris White House erased more than half of the US forest fire record, sometime in the last six weeks.

A reader emailed NIFC about this and got this response.

That response is absurd, as I will now explain. Prior to 1983, the data was kept by the US Forest Service and was quite detailed.

There is no reason to believe there are any major errors in the Forest Service data which make the data not usable.  Compare the handling of the fire data vs. Michael Mann’s Hockey Stick – where he spliced together many different types of data, and threw out proxy data which broke his hockey stick.

Climate academics have long accepted the concept that methodologies change, and that hiding or simply making up data is acceptable in their field.

By hiding the pre-1983 data, propagandists can make it appear like there has been a large increase in burn acreage. That is exactly what they did in the last National Climate Assessment.

The graph was taken from page 38 of the Fourth National Climate Assessment document released in November 2018.

But the reality is that forest fire burn acreage is down 90% since atmospheric CO2 was at pre-industrial levels.

The Harris Administration has also deleted the document above.

Ten years ago today, climate experts predicted Boston would have the same climate as Atlanta and that Maple Syrup would soon be a thing of the past.

“Within the next 100 years, Boston could have a climate similar to either Richmond, Virginia, or Atlanta, Georgia.”

The closest currently active USHCN stations to Boston and Atlanta are at Blue Hill, Massachusetts and Gainesville, Georgia. Boston is going to need quite a hockey stick to catch up with Atlanta.

The NOAA Climate Prediction Center predicted a warm February in the US, with Texas hot.

In 2015, the Washington Post wrote this :

“As of Tuesday, according to the National Interagency Fire Center, more than 8 million acres have burned in U.S. wildfires in 2015. 8,202,557 of them, to be precise…. There are only six other years that have seen more than 8 million acres burned — 2012, 2011, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004 — based on National Interagency Fire Center records that date back to 1960. It is hard not to notice that all of these years came since the year 2000.”

Wildfires have now burned a massive 8 million acres across the U.S. – The Washington Post

But as of January 29, 2021 the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) showed burn acreage all the way back to 1926. Burn acreage was much higher prior 1960.

Sometime over the past six weeks, the data prior to 1983 was erased.  The link now redirects to this :

Here is another Federal report which the administration hasn’t yet erased. It showed much higher burn acreage prior to 1960, and was identical to to the NIFC data.

National Report on Sustainable Forests — 2010

I uploaded a copy of it here, in preparation for the inevitable erasure by the Ministry of Truth : 2010-sustainability-report

The New York Times reported much higher burn acreage in 1937, and said 1937 was less than half the burn acreage from 1936. The New York Times numbers match those from the National Interagency Fire Center and the US Forest Service.

The Harris administration has also rewritten the history of Glacier National Park and erased the Medieval Warm Period. Last year this USGS page made it clear that before the Little Ice Age, glaciers in Glacier National Park were very small or non-existent, and that they may not have survived the Holocene maximum either.

But the Medieval Warm Period and Holocene Maximum have since been erased, and the text has been changed to match.

These are all articles which I refer to frequently, and I suspect that the Harris Ministry of Truth is using my blog as a guide for cancelling history.  It will be interesting to see how quickly the US Forest Service report gets erased.

Experts say the hurricane season is getting longer due to climate change, and they want to start naming more storms.

‘Climate change is real’: Hurricane season may need to start a few weeks earlier, meteorologists say – ABC11 Raleigh-Durham

Actual data shows that hurricane season is getting shorter. June hurricanes in the US used to be fairly common, but there haven’t been any US June hurricane landfalls for 35 years. In 1886, the US was hit by three hurricanes during June.

In 1955, there was a hurricane during January.

And in 1493, Christopher Columbus was nearly killed by a February hurricane.

What is actually happening is that academics and government agencies are rewarded for producing confirmation bias of global warming. Chris Landsea is the Science and Operations Officer at the National Hurricane Center.

He explained that the reason people think there are more storms, is because we have much more monitoring in the Mid-Atlantic than we used to, so more storms are found.  Many storms were missed in the past before the satellite and trans-Atlantic plane travel.

In 2005, he quit the IPCC because the hurricane “science” was pre-determined and politicized.

This is an open letter to the community from Chris Landsea.

Dear colleagues,

After some prolonged deliberation, I have decided to withdraw from participating in the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). I am withdrawing because I have come to view the part of the IPCC to which my expertise is relevant as having become politicized. In addition, when I have raised my concerns to the IPCC leadership, their response was simply to dismiss my concerns.

With this open letter to the community, I wish to explain the basis for my decision and bring awareness to what I view as a problem in the IPCC process. The IPCC is a group of climate researchers from around the world that every few years summarize how climate is changing and how it may be altered in the future due to manmade global warming. I had served both as an author for the Observations chapter and a Reviewer for the 2nd Assessment Report in 1995 and the 3rd Assessment Report in 2001, primarily on the topic of tropical cyclones (hurricanes and typhoons). My work on hurricanes, and tropical cyclones more generally, has been widely cited by the IPCC. For the upcoming AR4, I was asked several weeks ago by the Observations chapter Lead Author – Dr. Kevin Trenberth – to provide the writeup for Atlantic hurricanes. As I had in the past, I agreed to assist the IPCC in what I thought was to be an important, and politically-neutral determination of what is happening with our climate.

His college mentor was my good friend Dr. Bill Gray, who passed away five years ago. Dr. Gray was the leading tropical meteorology expert in the world, and the inventor of modern hurricane forecasting. Bill had his funding cut off by VP Al Gore in 1993, and never got another penny out of the government – because (unlike most of his colleagues) he refused to trade his integrity for government funding.
