Real Climate Science

The frequency of hot days has plummeted in the US over the last 80 years. This year will easily be the lowest on record after the last four months of the year get counted.

March heat waves were common in the US prior to 1950. One of the most impressive was 1907, which brought 90 degree temperatures to the US almost every day of the month. Twenty-four states were over 90 degrees, and three were over 100 degrees. There was also widespread flooding around the country.

Scientists actually attempted to explain it, rather than the modern approach – which would be to lie about it or try to make it disappear. This was two years after Einstein published his theory of Special Relativity, which met tremendous resistance from the consensus of know-nothings.

The press is full of stories about Arctic sea ice being at a record low, that it may reach a record low, and that it is causing lightning to strike near the North Pole.

NSIDC graphs show this year about the same as 2012

However their maps show 5% more ice this year than 2012. I’ve caught NSIDC cheating many times. It is the Boulder way of doing climate science.

Arctic sea ice is melting very slowly, there has been almost no change in extent over the last three days.

The Danish Meteorological Institute shows that volume loss has essentially stopped, about two weeks earlier than normal.

This graph shows extent for all August days in the MASIE record. Ice extent dropped very rapidly during the second half of August 2012.

There has been no trend in Arctic sea ice extent since the start of MASIE records in 2006.

Temperatures have been right at the long term mean near the North Pole all summer.

Temperatures are forecast to be below freezing across the remaining ice for the rest of the summer.

10-Day Temperature Outlook

Nothing the press is saying about the Arctic has any validity, and when the summer ends they will continue to lie. But at least someone in the academic community is challenging their BS.

On this date in 1954, the US Senate, led by liberal Democrat Hubert Humphrey, voted unanimously to ban communists.  Based on information from a Soviet spy, they wanted to put an end to Communist controlled labor unions. Penalty for being a communist was five years in jail.

Had the president signed it, many current senate Democrats would be spending most of their term in the Federal penitentiary.

And a follow-up with some new information.

On this date in 1936 (with CO2 at 310 PPM) it was 119 degrees in Kansas and 117 degrees in Nebraska. Seven states were over 110 degrees, twenty were over 100 degrees, and all but three were over 90 degrees.

Imagine the mass hysteria if we had weather that hot now. Climate scientists would declare 100% certainty that this could not happen at lower CO2 levels.

Average temperature around the US was 93 degrees. What I find remarkable in the graph below is how every year from 1933 to 1940 had extremely hot weather on this date.

Kansas	        119
California	118
Nebraska	117
Oklahoma	116

Texas	        114
