“Before he was confirmed as the director of the office of management and budget last week, Project 2025 architect Russell Vought proposed a 38% budget cut for NOAA to “to curb excessive mission creep in key agencies, halt steadily increasing climate extremism within the department, and eliminate the prioritization of woke agendas”.

“LARGE PART OF NORTHERN CALIF ABLAZE”

On September 17, 1923 Berkeley, California was largely destroyed by a fire which blew out of the hills and was fanned by 60 MPH winds.

Cooling Australia’s Past

Marble Bar, West Australia set the world record of 160 consecutive days over 100F (38C) during the summer of 1923-1924. This inconvenient history has since been deleted from the BOM website.

“Has ACORN robbed Marble Bar of its world record?

The animation below uses the daily temperature datasets for RAW, ACORN 1 (introduced 2011/2012) and ACORN 2 (introduced quietly in early 2019 with no BoM announcement) to compare the number of days each year from 1910 to 2019 that Marble Bar recorded a very hot day (defined by the bureau as at or above 40C) :”

Propaganda Based Forecasting

Buffalo, NY meteorologist Don Paul predicted a warm winter, based on global warming propaganda.

(17) Don Paul on X: “”My bottom line: With so much excess warmth in the world’s oceans and in place in the Arctic, I expect another milder- than-average winter overall, but with the potential for a short episodic harsh wintry outbreak or two. The latter would be more likely in December or January…” / X

He didn’t like me pointing out his bad forecast.

His response reminds me of Meat Loaf.

Don used the same jet stream diagram to explain global warming, as Science News used fifty years ago to explain global cooling.

“He Who Must Not Be Named”

Reuters “fact checked” me without mentioning my name.

(8) Tony Heller on X: “Antarctic sea ice extent is 17% higher today than it was in 1979. Ice doesn’t lie, but climate scientists do

They confirmed what I was saying, and then said it was “cherry-picked” data.

Fact Check: Cherry-picked Antarctic ice data does not disprove climate change | Reuters

Ten years ago when Antarctic sea ice was at a record high, academics tried to blame it on global warming.

“So as counterintuitive as expanding winter Antarctic sea ice may appear on a warming planet, it may actually be a manifestation of recent warming. “Both the Arctic and the Antarctic are responding to climate change, and both have areas that are warming rapidly,” explains NSIDC lead scientist Ted Scambos.”

Antarctic sea ice extent at the end of January was about the same as it was during January 1976.
