Real Climate Science

In 1989, the head of NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center said that earth cooled from 1921 to 1979. Now they show lots of warming during that period.

Analysis of warming since 1881 shows most of the increase in global temperature happened before 1919 — before the more re-cent sharp rise in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. said Thomas Karl, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. While global climate warmed overall since 1881, it actually cooled from 1921 to 1979, Karl said

NOAA graphs now show a warming trend from 1921 to 1979.

In 1921, the Arctic was very warm and glaciers were rapidly disappearing.

In 1922, the ice between Alaska and the North Pole was thin, rotten new ice.

But in the 1970s, people were worried about global cooling and a new ice age.

The Northern Hemisphere had been cooling for 30 years.

This graph was published by the National Academy of Sciences in 1975, showing 0.5C cooling in the Northern Hemisphere after the 1940s.

That 30 year cooling trend has since turned into a warming trend.

Two years ago, National Geographic reported :

In less than 20 years, millions of people in the United States could be exposed to dangerous “off-the-charts” heat conditions of 127 degrees Fahrenheit or more, a startling new report has found.

‘Off-the-charts’ heat to affect millions in U.S. in coming decades

They showed the worst of the heat around Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. The trends for those states for the past century shows that the frequency of hot days there has plummeted to record lows, and the National Geographic article is the opposite of reality.

The National Climate Assessment shows the same thing. Temperatures have gotten much cooler in the eastern half of the US.

NASA’s James Hansen made the same mispredictions  when he started the the global warming scare before Congress in 1988.

Purcellville, Virginia is the closest USHCN station in Virginia to Washington DC. The frequency of hot days there has plummeted.

In 1989, the United Nations said we only have ten years to save the planet from global warming. Now they say we only have ten months.

Germany wants everyone to social distance in order to stop the spread of viruses, and they also want to pack everyone on to hydrogen powered buses. But apparently nobody told the mayor that burning hydrogen produces water vapor – which is responsible for the vast majority of the greenhouse effect on earth.

Will COVID-19 Sound The Permanent Death Knell For Public Transit?

The generation of hydrogen requires huge amounts of energy, likely from a coal fired power plant. But no worries, because the Mayor of Heidelberg is building bike trails so that elderly people can do their shopping on a bicycle in the snow.

In 1990, Al Gore said it was unethical for scientists to report factual information about climate.

Eighty years ago the US government explained why increasing levels of CO2 would not have a significant impact on the climate.

“Much has been written about varying amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a possible cause of glacial periods. The theory received a fatal blow when it was realized that carbon dioxide is very selective as to the wave lengths of radiant energy it will absorb, filtering nut only such waves as even very minute quantities of water vapor dispose of anyway. No probable Increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide could materially affect either the amount of insolation reaching the surface or the amount of terrestrial radiation lost to space.”

Ten years ago, the Texas state climatologist predicted the state would stay in drought through 2020, but meteorologists said weather can’t be predicted that far in the future.

In 1974, an MIT professor compared climate forecasting to necromancy – talking with the dead.

“I don’t think we can predict climate now and I wouldn’t trust any-one who said he could. The atmosphere is just too complex to take some of these vague statistics and try to use them to predict with You can always find a single physical mechanism that will ’cause’ one thing or another, but when you take them all together, it just gets too complicated, Worse yet are those ‘weather forecasters’ who say that they can predict the weather months in advance Anyone who says he can tell you more than a few days ahead of time what the weather is going to be is practicing necromancy,”
