This comes eleven years after experts predicted the end of skiing in Colorado.

Sadly, we will never know if his forecast is correct in 14 years, because the world is going to end in 12 years.

Texas Tech should have put Katharine Hayhoe in the game tonight.  She is the #1 blocker on Twitter.  And for good reason – she has no clue what she is talking about and can’t withstand or face any criticism.

I was looking for some of her most clueless quotes, and found this stunning Orwellian article from 2006.

Forty-six years ago this month, the world’s athletes frolicked in the snow at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, Calif.

This is the exact opposite of what happened.  No one was frolicking in the snow – the 1960 Squaw Valley Winter Olympics nearly had to be cancelled because of a lack of snow.

Then Hayhoe continued pulling numbers out from where the sun never shines.

So what is really happening at Squaw Valley? They are having their second snowiest winter on record this year. with the record year being two years ago.  Fifty-six feet of snow has fallen on 67 snowy days this winter.

After tonight’s snowfall, Squaw Valley may be in the #1 spot for the date.  Their ski lodges are nearly buried in snow, and they plan to stay open through July 4th.

Winter snow cover has been steadily increasing in the Northern Hemisphere since the 1960s.  This is because the freeze line has been moving south.

People could barely ski at Squaw Valley during February 1960, but this year they will be skiing in July.  Katharine Hayhoe and the press have a consistent pattern of stating the exact opposite of reality, which makes them very popular among progressives.

The US temperature record is very important, because it is the only large area on the planet with a high quality long term daily temperature record.

Thirty years ago, NOAA reported that the US was not warming.

U.S. Data Since 1895 Fail To Show Warming Trend – NYTimes.com

Twenty years ago, NASA’s James Hansen was upset that the US was cooling – even as CO2 increased.

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

NASA GISS: Science Briefs: Whither U.S. Climate?

This cooling was disturbing to global warming theorists at both NASA and NOAA.  CO2 warming theory was failing, so they did the obvious thing – altered the data and  turned cooling into warming.

Via data tampering, NOAA now shows nearly continuous warming in the US since 1895.

The red line below shows the data which NOAA now releases to the public, and the blue line shows their actual thermometer data – which closely resembles the 1999 NASA graph.

The adjustments form a perfect hockey stick.

And the adjustments precisely match the increase in CO2. A smoking gun of confirmation bias and/or fraud.

The majority of the recent tampering is due to fake data. More than 40% of the current US adjusted data is generated by computer models rather than thermometers.

NOAA shows a large increase in afternoon temperatures since the 1930s..

Climate at a Glance | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

By contrast, the thermometer data from the 1,218 NOAA US Historical Climatology Stations (USHCN) show a decrease in afternoon temepratures.

The percent of hot days has plummeted.

The two most often cited excuses for the data tampering, are a change in average latitude (changing station composition) –  and a change in the time when the min/max thermometers were reset (Time of Observation Bias.)  The argument behind TOBS adjustments is that most people in the 1930s reset their thermometers during the afternoon, causing double counting of hot days, making the 1930s data too hot.

It is simple enough to eliminate these effects by using a consistent set of long term stations which all reset their thermometers at the same time during the 1930s. This eliminates any need to correct the data.

Morning stations show approximately the same trend as the set of all stations.

Afternoon stations show approximately the same trend as the set of all stations.

What this analysis shows is that the adjustments are unsupportable.  TOBS and changing station composition effects are much smaller than the adjustments being made. The US is not warming, and the adjustments which make it appear to be warming are fraudulent.

Even worse is that the data is being altered with the vast majority of the public unaware. If NOAA has concerns about data quality, the correct way to handle it would be to put error bars on the graph – not alter the data to match their theory.

The National Climate Assessment shows a sea level hockey stick, starting at the beginning of the 20th century.

Sea Level Rise – Climate Science Special Report

The 1990 IPCC Report said the exact opposite.

there is no convincing evidence of an acceleration in global sea level rise during the 20th century.  For longer periods, however, there is weak evidence for an acceleration over the last 2-3 centuries.

1990 IPCC Report

Climate scientists simply making stuff up, just like they always do.

Four years ago, these heroes saved the planet from life giving CO2 – via distribution of wealth from the US to smaller countries who wanted money for nothing.

What is the Paris Agreement? | UNFCCC

The father of the global warming scam described the Paris talks as a fraud.

Since then, the rate of increase of atmospheric CO2 has accelerated.

Here in the evil US, where Donald Trump refuses to honor the Paris saviors – CO2 emissions are down 13% since 2005. Thanks to fracking.

All of North and South America emit less CO2 than China.

U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions expected to rise slightly in 2018, remain flat in 2019 – Today in Energy – U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

The US has essentially no control over CO2 emissions. Even if the US dropped off the map, the effect would be barely visible in the Mauna Loa CO2 curve. But the world is going to end in 12 years unless the US Congress “addresses climate change.”

There is no longer any need for Monty Python’s Flying Circus. We now have CNN and the Democrats to provide a non-stop parody of reality.

“The starving time” was the winter of 1609-1610, when food shortages, fractured leadership, and a siege by Powhatan Indian warriors killed two of every three colonists at James Fort. From its beginning, the colony struggled to maintaining a food supply. Trade relations with the Virginia Indian tribes were strained because a severe seven-year drought stressed food supplies for everyone in the region.

Advances in paleoclimatology, the science of reconstructing past climates from records such as tree rings and lake sediments, show how America in the late 1500s and early 1600s was getting cooler and more prone to drought. The trend was part of a global pattern sometimes called the Little Ice Age

What the first Thanksgiving can teach us about adjusting to climate shock – The Washington Post

Experts now know that drought is caused by warming rather than cooling, because scaring people with mindless gibberish and endless lies is necessary to keep their scam going.

As the US sweltered in a heat-wave in 1988, Hansen predicted that year would be the hottest year on record and that we all would experience an increase in heatwaves, droughts and storms due to climate change. Hansen’s testimony was, according to Rice University historian Douglas Brinkley, “the opening salvo of the age of climate change.”

Since then, pretty much everything Hansen predicted with the science has come true and he has continued to speak his mind, despite numerous attempts to gag and suppress his work, which has remained as cutting edge as ever.

The only thing which has increased is the level of dishonesty by Democrats and their cronies in the press and academia.

House Democrats are tackling several important science issues.  Preventing Guam from tipping over and capsizing is a high priority for them.

Another signature issue for the party which considers themselves to be the owners of science, is preventing the world from being destroyed in 12 years – via Americans adopting communism.

Most important is keeping children’s birthday parties on schedule, by ensuring an adequate supply of helium balloons.

Important reminder. If you laugh at these experts, you are a knuckle dragging anti-science racist. Who hates the planet.

The Four Corners Power Plant in New Mexico was widely cited as the world’s single largest polluter during the 1960s and early 1970s.  Some people claimed (erroneously) that the smoke plume could be seen in a Gemini 12 satellite photo. Regardless, the air was very dirty in Northern New Mexico at the time, and the power plant was the cause.

As a high school student, I worked with Mike Williams (pictured below) and his wife Mary Lou on a number of environmental projects, including this one.  Arizona Public Service eventually put electrostatic precipitators on the stacks, and cleaned the air up.

This is what US coal fired power plants look like now – the Rawhide Generating station near Fort Collins. They are very clean.

The battle to clean up coal is over in the US, and now I fight the #1 environmental threat – wind farms.

blades on the more than 4,000 windmills have been chopping up tens of thousands of birds that fly into them, including golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, burrowing owls and other raptors.

Wind farms also kill huge numbers of bats, which are critical to the ecosystem. Like the endangered Long-Nosed bat which pollinates Saguaro Cactus.

Unfortunately the environmental movement has been hijacked (and bought out) by climate scamsters, and now are a huge part of the problem. That is why long time environmentalists like myself and Patrick Moore are fighting these slimeballs.
