Apollo 11

I went to see  “Apollo 11” last night. It was an incredible film, consisting almost entirely of original film clips from the beginning to the end of the Apollo 11 moon mission – which occurred fifty years ago.  One of the best movies I have ever seen.

Getting to the moon was one of the most incredible engineering, scientific, and managerial successes ever assembled, requiring coordination and perfection from thousands of brilliant, honest, competent and very brave people – aided by only very primitive computer technology. The presence of even one dishonest or incompetent person at NASA would likely have resulted in failure. The only other comparable accomplishment in human history was the Manhattan Project, which occurred in my backyard in Los Alamos.

Shortly thereafter, portions of NASA were taken over by dishonest, incompetent hacks – as exposed by Richard Feynman after the Challenger Disaster in 1988.

One of the authors of this book is James R. Hansen – no relationship to James E. Hansen, who created the NASA climate science disaster – also in 1988.

Hansen predicted an increase in heatwaves and drought for the US, which is the exact opposite of what happened. He also predicted that Lower Manhattan (where his office was located) would be underwater by 2018.

Hansen’s incompetence and fraud led the people responsible for going to the moon to write a letter to the NASA administrator – asking for an end to NASA’s junk climate science.

“We believe the claims by NASA and GISS [NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies], that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated, especially when considering thousands of years of empirical data,”

The NASA administrator ignored the people who sent us to the moon, because he felt that his primary mission was to make Muslims “feel good.”

NASA and America are no longer able to put people in space. But we do now have a culture of perpetual dishonesty, incompetence and stupidity in the Democratic Party and the press.

James Hansen Explains The Green New Deal

This genius is Colorado’s governor.

Jared Polis on Twitter:

This is what the world’s leading climate alarmist says about that idea :

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.

The Demise Of Orange County

Orange County, Florida used to be one of the largest citrus producers in the state.

01 Mar 1883, 2 – Greensboro Watchman at Newspapers.com

But it got too cold there, and the citrus industry is nearly gone.

Today there are so few citrus groves left in Orange County they could fit neatly inside a single modern housing development such as east Orlando’s Avalon Park.

Orange County at one time was one of the top five producers of citrus ….. a freeze in the 1950s had wiped out most of the tangerine production ….. At just 2,300 acres today, the amount of ground covered in trees is down 50 percent in the last 10 years and is just a tiny fraction of the some 50,000 acres of groves in Orange County before the freezes of the 1980s. ….

That was around the time when the title “citrus grower” became a synonym for “real estate developer.”

“We had no choice,” Chicone recalled. “The first freeze came [in 1983] and most everybody replanted. It took a lot of money to clear the land and buy new trees and start producing. We all did that one time and then the second freeze came.”

That was in 1985. Then another severe freeze in 1989, which wiped out much of whatever had managed to survive.

Declining March 23 Temperatures In The Great Lakes States

On this date in 1907, Portsmouth, Ohio was 96 degrees. Great Lakes States March 23 afternoon temperatures have declined nearly two degrees since the 19th century.

On this date in 1910, the average maximum temperature in the US was 73 degrees, at least twenty degrees warmer than this year.

Warm March 23rds were quite common in the US before the year 1940. They rarely happen any more.

California Permanent Drought Update

The LA Times, which has an open policy of censoring people who tell the truth about climate, reports on the record snow in California.

In Mammoth, the snow is so deep residents must tunnel out. There’s a history to that – Los Angeles Times

This comes three years after experts announced the permanent drought in California.

When CO2 was much lower, the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympics almost had to be cancelled because of a lack of snow.

This is what Squaw Valley looks like this year.

Nothing the press reports on about climate has anything to do with reality, but why would their climate reporting be any different than the rest of their reporting?

Superstition’s Fingerprint In Climate Science

Our top climate scientists are blaming floods in Nebraska on global warming

Manmade greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the oceans and making the air above them more humid, scientists said. When a storm picks up and eventually spits out that moisture, it can be devastating for people caught below.

“The atmosphere is pretty close to fully saturated, it’s got all the water it can take,” said Michael Wehner, a senior scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Big storms like the bomb cyclone and Hurricane Harvey, which smacked Houston in 2017 with record downpours, are where the impact of climate change can most clearly be seen, he said, adding that climate change’s fingerprints were all over the recent storm.

“I don’t think it’s a starring role, but it’s a strong supporting role,” said Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist at the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research, a federally-funded office, of climate change’s role in the Midwest floods.

He said the bomb cyclone was carrying vast amounts of moisture from the Pacific up to 1,500 miles (2,400 km) away.

The atmosphere is pretty close to fully saturated, it’s got all the water it can take,” said Michael Wehner, a senior scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

It has been the coldest February/March on record in Nebraska so far. (Average temperatures will rise a little before the end of the month, and may move this year out of the coldest spot.)

The reason the atmosphere is saturated, is because of the cold air – which can hold less moisture. This is something most science students learn in high school, but apparently our top PhD climate scientists are unaware of it.

Sea surface temperatures are also mostly below normal west of the US.  The claims by the climate scientists have no basis in reality, which is standard practice for their profession.

Nebraska has a long history of floods.

The 1935 Nebraska flood killed more than 100 people and was associated with the world record rainfalls in Texas and Colorado.

On May 31, 1935 Woodward Ranch, Texas set the world record with 22 inches of rain in less than three hours.

Colorado got nearly that much rain a few hours earlier.
