Real Climate Science

I took this portrait with my Nikon P1000 camera this morning. It is a little fuzzy, but not bad from 1.4 miles away and 1,600 vertical feet below.

Thirty years ago, global warming experts predicted water levels in the Great Lakes would fall by eight feet.

Instead, water levels are at a record high.  No problem for climate alarmists though – they simply blame their incompetence on climate change.

It isn’t that our liberal friends are ignorant. It is just that they know so much that isn’t so.

I posted a video earlier documenting that the US was coolest and wettest on record since October. Then someone named Dave Carlson steps in and explains that the record cold is proof of record heat. Followed by Brian Johnson who claims that India just set their all time record of 123.8F.

Sounds bad … we really messed the climate up.  Except that it was just as hot or hotter in India in 1935, and 1953, and 1966 ….

Same temperature as 1935.

And similar to 1966.

Climate alarmism is based largely on fake statistics, and always has been.

Prior to 60 years ago, June 11 was often a very hot day in the US, but hot weather on this date is unusual now outside of the desert southwest.  

The trend is not just for June 11, but for the entire month of June, and for the entire year.

The US has been record cool over the past nine months, and the green area should expand with the cool weather forecast for the eastern US.

10-Day Temperature Outlook for the Conterminous U.S.

We now associate 100 degree weather with the desert southwest, but it used to be quite common across much of the country.

The hottest June in Phoenix was 1974, when they averaged 109 degrees for their afternoon temperatures, and were over 110 degrees for eighteen consecutive days from June 12-29. I played on the soccer team at ASU that year, and we practiced at 3PM every day.

That was also the peak year of the 1970s ice age scare.

As atmospheric CO2 has increased, the frequency of hot days in the US has plummeted. The peak year occurring  below 310 PPM.

Meanwhile, the useful idiots in the press continue their usual mindless hysteria about things they understand nothing about. They simultaneously forecast heat, drought, fire and floods – i.e. the same weather we have always had. And they tell their readers that the same weather which has been occurring for hundreds of millions of years can be prevented by climate action.

October 1 – June 10 daily maximum temperatures in the US are at a record low this year, and have been declining for 90 years.

Not surprisingly, the number of fires and burn acreage is at a record low.

Meanwhile, the usual climate snake oil salesmen are pimping wildfires and heatwaves, and saying they can fix them.
