Real Climate Science

In 1988, the Guardian , UK Commonwealth and Canberra Times said we needed global communism to prevent 1-4 meters of sea level rise by the year 2030.  Because this is all about the best science by our top scientists.

Micheal Mann and Snopes both did hit pieces on me this week. I must be making them nervous. Here is the Snopes article.

Since 2014, climate-change deniers have squeezed millions of views, Facebook shares, and Twitter retweets by retelling a story alleging the discovery of “faked” NASA data designed to “fit a climate change narrative.” Though copied almost wholesale from a blog post

The blog post was one I made in 2o12. But instead of pointing to my web site, they linked to an archived version – most likely to keep people from visiting my blog. It included this animation, showing NASA data tampering.

They go on :

The “smoking gun” concerns a climate record known as the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP). These records are based on a massive global dataset of temperature stations from around the world, combining several collections of data originally collected by individual weather stations. The record provides “a measure of the changing global surface temperature with monthly resolution for the period since 1880, when a reasonably global distribution of meteorological stations was established.”

This is what Snopes describes as a “reasonably global distribution of meteorological stations”  The map shows where GHCN has daily temperature data from 1890.

Then they went to their go-to man, Zeke Hausfather, who told them :

All told, the most significant effect of all these changes came from the time-of-day adjustments. Collectively, the adjustments served to produce a slightly increased warming trend in the United States record compared to the earlier records.

This is complete nonsense. TOBS (time of day) is about one third of the total adjustment, and goes the opposite direction of the massive upwards adjustments since the year 2005.

Snopes made no attempt to contact me.  Had they done that they would have known that essentially all of the adjustments since 1990 are due to fake data.

In the 1999 paper where I got the NASA temperature graph, Hansen complained that the US is cooling.

Yet in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country.

Snopes described this switch from cooling to rapid warming as :

Collectively, the adjustments served to produce a slightly increased warming trend in the United States record compared to the earlier records.

This is what they call a “slightly increased warming trend.”

Climate journalism is a complete shambles, and has nothing to do with actual journalism.

NCDC adjusted data shows a strong warming trend in Texas.

The underlying measured data shows a strong cooling trend, with 1921 as the hottest year.

This graph shows both adjusted and measured.

This graph shows the adjustments, older temperatures have been massively cooled.

In 2012, the San Antonio Express News said Texas is not warming, based on NCDC data.

And Anthony Watts captured this graph from NCDC in that same year.   They hadn’t erased the heat of 1921 yet.

Climate scientists who have been claiming Texas is warming are totally wrong. | Watts Up With That?

We can see that the tampering with Texas data has gotten much worse over the past seven years. The biggest fraud in science history.

Nothing new about that idea. Politicians have been doing that for centuries.

On this date in 1921, the New York Times reported that Earth had a fever.

Pueblo, Colorado was largely wiped out by a flood during June, 1921.  Much of Kansas suffered damage, and there was flooding on the Pecos River in New Mexico and Texas.

It is estimated that 1,500 people in Pueblo, Colorado died during that flood.

The average maximum temperature in the US during 1921 was second highest on record after 1934.

It wasn’t due so much to extreme heat like the 1930’s, but more to persistent heat.

It was the hottest year on record in Texas.

Reality doesn’t suit the political agenda of NOAA, so they have completely erased the past heat in Texas and turned sharp cooling into sharp warming.

Texas also had their longest heatwave at Encinal in 1921, 157 consecutive days above 90F from May 8 to October 11, 1921.

Beaufort, South Carolina was over 90 degrees every day during September, 1921 – the South Carolina record.

Glennville, Georgia had 29 days over 90 degrees during September, 1921 – the Georgia record for September.

Lumberton, North Carolina’s had 27 days over 90 degrees during September 1921, the North Carolina record for September

October used to be much warmer in Ohio.
