Arctic sea ice extent is the highest in years, with rapid growth and extent “normal” everywhere except the Bering Sea.

Meanwhile, climate experts seek high-tech solutions to the non-existent meltdown.
This is what Glacier National Park looks like today. Trees are disappearing under the snow in the record cold.

10-Day Temperature Outlook for the Conterminous U.S.
Experts tell us the park will be ice-free by 1948, 2002, 2020 and 2044.

No More Glaciers in Glacier National Park by 2020?

Meanwhile, the Maldives – which experts say will be underwater by 2018.
26 Sep 1988 – Threat to islands
To be fair to the climate experts, the Maldives are ice-free, just as they predicted.
Most years the ice and geese are long gone by now – but not this year. We don’t seem to be making any progress towards spring.

Chris Horner has scored a a big win for shutting down Michael Bloomberg’s attempts to hijack democracy.
So far, this February has been the second coldest on record in North Dakota, with afternoon maximums averaging 3F (-16C.) The frequency of nights below 0F (-18C) has been the highest.
Lots more record cold in the forecast.
10-Day Temperature Outlook for the Conterminous U.S.
The coldest February was 1936, which had similar weather patterns – except for southwest which was mild that year.

Someone left this comment on the blog earlier today :
The author states but doesn’t prove that “The reality is that there is no legitimate evidence extreme weather is increasing or sea level rise is accelerating.” His graph (% day above 90F) doesn’t show the data for % day above 95F or 105F, or something else. What if the % of day above 95F would show an upward trend? His example is not enough to convince me that he hasn’t engaged in cherry picking.
While possible mathematically, it is difficult to imagine how (in the real world) you could have fewer 90 degree days, and more 95 degree days. In fact, the same downwards trend is seen for 80, 85, 90, 95, 100 and 105 degree days.
The US used to be much hotter and drier, which was why millions of people fled the Great Plains and moved to California during the 1930s. At one time, California was a great place to live.
Flagstaff joins 9,000 other cities to join global climate change coalition | News | azdailysun.com
Two weeks ago, Flagstaff, Arizona joined the fight against global warming. They were immediately rewarded with the largest one day snowfall on record, and rescued Minneapolis from global warming at the same time.
Toto went hiking in Prescott, Arizona with an old friend last November.
This is what her place looked like yesterday, after 28 inches of snow.
That was nowhere near the record of 60 inches set in 1967.

Toto’s friend tells me that her next door neighbor was there for the 1967 storm, and that it was a man-made disaster. The city had sold their snow plows earlier in the year, because they never used them. Apparently, lack of snow is a thing of the past in Arizona.
