October used to be much warmer in Ohio.

A few weeks ago, during mid-winter, experts announced that rapidly growing Antarctic sea ice had “shrunk to record lows.”

During January, 1976 – there was almost no sea ice around Antarctica.

Lots of hysterics – no science – no reality or integrity either.

Zeke from Berkeley Earth shows the whole earth burning up since 1960, particularly the Arctic – which has warmed “by more than 4C.

Zeke Hausfather on Twitter: “The world as a whole has warmed by 0.9C just since 1960, with some parts of the Arctic warming by more than 4C. Here is a map of warming between January 1960 and August 2019: https://t.co/npJrw5TIeb” / Twitter

He shows Antarctic warming, which NASA wrote in 2004 had cooled significantly.

Satellites show no warming in Antarctica, since 2004 – so we can see that the Berkeley earth trends for Antarctica are incorrect.

Now let’s look at why Zeke chose 1960 for a start date. There was a unanimous consensus Earth was cooling.

Earth had cooled sharply prior to Zeke’s start date.

Scientists were talking about a new ice age.

Next let’s look at the US, which is one of the few places on Earth with good historical coverage.

Zeke starts his map near the end of a 30 year cooling trend.

The US has been cooling over the past century.

Now let’s look at the Arctic data which is being hidden. There was 9C Arctic warming by 1939, and sea ice was disappearing

Zeke starts his trend map right at the low point for Arctic sea ice.

There was 11C Arctic winter warming by 1954, and scientists blamed it on CO2 – right before temperatures plummeted into the ice age scare.

Arctic warming and cooling cycles correlate with an ocean circulation pattern – the AMO – not CO2.

Zeke has good reason to hide the Arctic data before 1960.

Climate scientists have wanted to hide the warmth of the 1940’s – and that is exactly what they are doing.

Zeke has now completely erased it. He blames it on National Geographic.

So the next question is – why is National Geographic  hiding the  warm pre-1960 data from their November 1976 graph?

A University Of Alberta VP was fired for telling the truth about climate and CO2.

The Delaware State climatologist was also fired for telling the truth.

About a decade or more ago, I was told by someone that I had been placed on a federal “Do Not Fund” list.  Undaunted, I applied for a grant from NASA.  Well, the proposal was rejected but the letter back from NASA contained only a single review sheet that was blank except for the following note written in the comments section:  “NCDC [National Climatic Data Center in Asheville NC] should be funded to do this research.”  When I contacted the program officer, Jared Entin, he indicated that he was on vacation but would investigate right away.  I have called and e-mailed; I have yet to hear back from him.

Several years later, I applied to the USDA to leverage weather radar to enhance agricultural forecasting.  My proposal was submitted electronically and was listed as “Under Review”.  In due course, I received a note from the USDA that all proposals had been either rejected or accepted and they thanked me for my submission.  Since I had not heard from them, I went on-line and checked my proposal.  It was listed as “Under Review”.  I sent an e-mail to the program officer and one of his assistants responded.  She seemed so friendly and helpful and wanted to know more about the proposal that I had submitted.  When I gave her the proposal ID number, I received a terse reply:  “You will have to take this up with the Program Officer”.

So, I did.  We played the same game again — he then stopped answering e-mails or phone calls.  Eventually, I got the University Research Office to inquire.  They said they were told by the Program Officer that “we cannot be responsible for system problems.”  Sure…right.

I have submitted a total of 5 federal grants since I was told.  All five have met the same fate.  No bad reviews…no reviews at all.  And the Program Officer cuts off all communications.

In the 1980s, John Darcy was convicted of fraud — he had made up data and nearly fifty papers were rejected.  His penalty?  He was forbidden from getting grants from the NIH for ten years.  I have been convicted of nothing…indeed, I have been charged with nothing. But I have been black-listed…and just today, the DailyKos runs a piece on how difficult the “believers” have been treated…

Sorry for the rant,

There are many other scientists who have suffered similar treatment, including Dr. Willie Soon at Harvard.  All climate scientists know the consequences of  butting heads with the orthodoxy,

This is how “consensus” is maintained – through the same thuggery used to silence Galileo hundreds of years ago.  A return to the Dark Ages, by the same people who tell us they are “progressives.”

FOR SOME TIME I have been disturbed by the way the CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the government. This has led to trouble and may have compounded our difficulties in several explosive areas.
