Real Climate Science

I was working in a computer shop in Sedona, Arizona during the Spring of 1989.

A woman walked in and told me her computer was broken because she lived too close to an energy vortex, and it was affecting the crystal in her computer. So I told her she probably would have to move.

The volume of Arctic sea ice is very close to the median over the past 12 years, and continues to grow.

There has been no trend in Arctic sea ice extent or volume over the past twelve years.

The Northwest Passage is blocked with the thickest ice in years.

Last year, Arctic ambulance chasers were focused on the “ice hole in the Barents Sea.”  But there is lots of ice in the Barents Sea, so they have moved their clown show to the Bering Sea.

Science News asks “what happens when the Bering Sea becomes ice-free?”

The Bering Sea loses its ice every spring. Perhaps they can use the last few hundred thousand years for reference? There was no ice (or water) in the Bering Sea when the first humans moved to America 25,000 years ago – during the last ice age.

How did the first americans get here

Alaska was largely ice-free during the last ice age, for the same reason Bering Sea ice is low this year.  During ice ages, the jet stream brings mild air to Alaska, and cold air to Canada and much of the US.

The last thing I would ever expect climate researchers to do, is engage in actual scientific research. It just doesn’t seem to happen.

The last EF-5 tornado to hit Michigan occurred 63 years ago today.

Measured US temperature data provides no evidence of warming over the past century, so NOAA alters the data to create the appearance of warming.

The data tampering makes a perfect hockey stick.

And the tampering precisely matches the increase in CO2.

Canada is warming faster than the rest of the world from human-caused climate change. This poses significant risks to the health and well-being of Canadians and communities. 

Almost everyone in Canada lives along the southern border, in order to keep from freezing to death.  And they escape to Mexico at every possible opportunity to warm up.

Mckenna and AOC would make a great comedy team.

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.
