Real Climate Science

October-March US afternoon temperatures were third coldest on record.

About three-fourths of the US has been below normal temperature for the past six months.

Almost the entire US has been above normal precipitation for the past six months.

October-February was the wettest on record in the US.  (March data is not yet available from NOAA.)

Western snowpack is far above normal.

Experts say the record cold, wet and snow is caused by an overheated atmosphere.

In 2012, the same experts said the warmth and dry weather was caused by an overheated atmosphere.

If you don’t understand that hot air and drought causes record cold and wet weather, you are probably a paid oil industry shill, a Nazi and a racist. And you hate the planet.

There are many more projects I haven’t listed here. You will be hard pressed to find anyone with a broader and more successful career in science, education, environment and engineering.  I use the same skill set and techniques to analyze climate science claims, as I have used in science/engineering.

Your computer/game consoles work, partly due to my efforts. By contrast, climate science doesn’t work, because it is done largely by dishonest, incompetent hacks who don’t follow or even understand any legitimate methodology.

I don’t receive any funding from anyone, other than small donations to my blog – which work out to about $5/hour. I hate cars and would love to see 90% of them off the road. I have been hit by cars several times riding my bicycle, and they foul the air with pollution.

I believe in mathematics.  Not junk climate science.

In my previous blog post, I reported that October-March afternoon temperatures were third coldest on record in the US. Bob Ward angrily responded with :

“utter BS. NOAA recorded the six months to the end of February as the 35th warmest on record.”

Bob Ward on Twitter: “As usual, your claims are utter BS

Bob made two major mistakes.  First he used the wrong six month period, Sep-Feb instead of Oct-Mar. But his big mistake is using the words “NOAA recorded.”  He should have said “NOAA reported.”  NOAA massively alters their recorded data before they report it.

Here are the NOAA recorded average daily maximum temperatures, third coldest :

Here are the NOAA recorded average monthly maximum  temperatures, third coldest :

Here are the NOAA reported average monthly maximum temperatures, 31st coldest :

Here are the NOAA adjustments to average monthly maximum temperatures, 2nd largest :

About 43% of the data NOAA used in the their adjusted calculation was fabricated by computer model, rather than record – the largest percentage of fake data on record. The fake data is marked with an “E” in the NOAA text files.

All of the data is taken directly from the NOAA ftp site. I challenge Bob to prove me wrong.

The UN says global communism is necessary to stop climate change – because it’s all about the science.

Figueres: First time the world economy is transformed intentionally

The Top UN Climate Change Official … warns that the fight against climate change is a process and that the necessary transformation of the world economy will not be decided at one conference or in one agreement.

Figueres: First time the world economy is transformed intentionally

Same story as 30 years ago – this has always been about Communism.

Call for anti-greenhouse action

GOVERNMENTS must yield national sovereignty to multilateral authorities able to enforce laws “across environmentally invisible frontiers” if the green-house effect, which threatens the future of whole nations, is to be overcome, the Commonwealth Secretary-General, Sir Shridath Ramphal, said on Tuesday.

Fundamentally transforming the world involves a lot of science, as discussed in this 2011 campaign ad.

The Washington DC cherry blossoms should be fine for the next eleven years, but in the 12th year the planet will be destroyed.

Alexandria Cortez is very informed about this, because she reads The Guardian.

We have 12 years to limit climate change catastrophe, warns UN | Environment | The Guardian

I was cycling and hiking on Sugarloaf Mountain, MD today.  This is the Dickerson coal fired generating station, which powers Alexandria Cortez and most of the rest of DC.  It will destroy the planet in  eleven years and ten months.

The devastation I saw today was almost too much to bear.

I left three inches of snow in Boulder this morning, and flew into 70 degrees and Magnolia trees in bloom in DC.

While I was on the plane, I had lots of time to work on Sonoran Desert photos on my laptop. AOC sees the end of the world rapidly approaching.  This is what I see.

I devoted my Earth Hour, to protecting the planet from the useful idiots who are promoting Earth Hour.

The notion that renewable energies and batteries alone will provide all needed energy is fantastical. It is also a grotesque idea, because of the staggering environmental pollution from mining and material disposal, if all energy was derived from renewables and batteries. Worse, tricking the public to accept the fantasy of 100 percent renewables means that, in reality, fossil fuels reign and climate change grows.

After taking a long haul flight to the Maldives, tourists can switch off their lights for an hour in order to keep the Maldives from drowning last year.

It is too late though.  Experts say the islands are gone – and you lack the academic qualifications necessary to question the experts.

Experts say the Palo Alto, CA Baylands will drown in the next 30 years.

With rising tides threatening to submerge the Palo Alto Baylands by mid-century, city officials agreed on Monday that they need to explore new barriers — both physical and legislative — to protect coastal area from sea level rise.

Palo Alto prepares for sea level rise | News | Palo Alto Online |

That sounds awful. Twenty years ago I lived and worked adjacent to the Palo Alto Baylands, and went running in Baylands Park every day.

One minor problem with the experts claim though, is that it has no basis in science or reality. Had these experts done any actual research, they would have known that sea level in the San Francisco Bay is almost exactly the same as it was in 1940.
