Real Climate Science

Dear Teacher,

The vast majority of scientists believe that humans have some impact on the climate. However, most of the claims of future catastrophe being made by politicians and the press, have no basis in science.

The National Climate Assessment shows that heatwaves in the US were much worse in the past. John Steinbeck wrote about this poignantly in “The Grapes of Wrath.”  Millions of people fled the heat and drought of the Great Plains during the 1930s.

Exact opposite of predictions made by some well known climate scientists, the US has been getting wetter, and droughts have been becoming less frequent.

Data from NOAA tide gauges shows no change in the rate of sea level rise since Abraham Lincoln was president.

According to data from the National Interagency Fire Center, US burn acreage is down 80% since the 1930s.

The worst US floods occurred during the 1920s and 1930s. The worst US tornado occurred in 1925. The most intense US hurricane occurred in 1935.  The deadliest US hurricane occurred in 1900. The deadliest Atlantic hurricane and the third deadliest Pacific Hurricane both occurred in 1780. The worst US forest fires occurred in 1871 and 1910.

Predictions of an ice-free Arctic and the demise of Polar bears have not panned out.  Many of the world’s leading scientists are prominent climate skeptics, including Freeman Dyson and Ivar Giaever.  The only scientist to have walked on the moon, Harrison Schmitt, is a well known climate skeptic. There are tens of thousands of skeptical scientists who are systematically ignored by the press.

Global warming is real, but the wild climate exaggerations being parroted by politicians and the press – are nothing but 16th century superstition. Similar to what Galileo faced.

Temperatures warmed up to a balmy 41 degrees this afternoon, and much of the snow melted. It was the coldest May 21 on record here, and probably the coldest day ever this late in the spring. Average temperature for the date is 72 degrees.

Scientific American says we broke the atmosphere, and we need to increase CO2 emissions to fix it.

Looks pretty broken to me.

I normally focus on the comedic behavior of people like Michael Mann, Katharine Hayhoe, and AOC. But there is a serious side to climate change too.

In 1989, NOAA said most global warming occurred before 1919.

Analysis of warming since 1881 shows most of the increase in global temperature happened before 1919 – before the more re-cent sharp rise in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. said Thomas Karl, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.

NOAA now shows cooling from 1881 to 1919, and that all global warming occurred after 1910.

Experts tell us that snow is a thing of the past, and we now live in an endless summer.

The End of Snow? – The New York Times

I spent last spring in record cold and snow in Philadelphia.

I spent last autumn and the beginning of winter in record cold and snow in New Mexico and Arizona.

And now I am spending spring in record cold and snow in Colorado.

I’m not completely convinced that snow is a thing of the past. But fortunately we have our top scientists at NCAR working on this.

I remember hearing some of this last year. It was horrifying then, it’s horrifying now, and it’ll be horrifying when it happens again — and it’ll happen again if we don’t take action now

So far this year, US daily record minimums have been outpacing record maximums by a ratio of 1.6/1.  This is the third time in the last seven years which this has happened. The long term pattern is cyclical with a period of about 65 years.

Climate alarmists want people to believe that it is getting hotter, so they start their graphs near the peak in 1960 – and hide all the inconvenient data prior to 1960 which wrecks their story.

The ratio of warm and cold temperature records is increasingly skewed – Axios

The US was much hotter prior to 1960, so people who earn their living promoting the global warming scam don’t want you to know about it.

Lilacs in full bloom in Boulder – May 21, 2019.

Today’s snow is the third latest on record here in Boulder – behind 1951 (June 2) and 1947 (May 30.)  Over the past 40 years, the last snow has trended nearly a month later.

In 2008, local climate experts predicted shorter ski seasons, due to “carbon emissions.”
