I took these pictures on New Years Day, east of Phoenix. It was bitter cold. The current forecast is for this area along Hwy 87 to receive well over a foot of snow in the next 48 hours.
I used to live in Sedona, when CO2 was below 350 PPM. Twenty inches of snow there is incomprehensible. I never saw more than two or three inches.
NASA’s James Hansen started the global warming scare in earnest, during the very hot summer of 1988.
Until now, scientists have been cautious about attributing rising global temperatures of recent years to the predicted global warming caused by pollutants in the atmosphere, known as the ”greenhouse effect.” But today Dr. James E. Hansen of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration told a Congressional committee that it was 99 percent certain that the warming trend was not a natural variation but was caused by a buildup of carbon dioxide and other artificial gases in the atmosphere.
Dr. Hansen, a leading expert on climate change, said in an interview that there was no ”magic number” that showed when the greenhouse effect was actually starting to cause changes in climate and weather. But he added, ”It is time to stop waffling so much and say that the evidence is pretty strong that the greenhouse effect is here.” An Impact Lasting Centuries If Dr. Hansen and other scientists are correct, then humans, by burning of fossil fuels and other activities, have altered the global climate in a manner that will affect life on earth for centuries to come.
Dr. Hansen, director of NASA’s Institute for Space Studies in Manhattan, testifed before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Continue reading the main story He and other scientists testifying before the Senate panel today said that projections of the climate change that is now apparently occurring mean that the Southeastern and Midwestern sections of the United States will be subject to frequent episodes of very high temperatures and drought in the next decade and beyond
Global Warming Has Begun, Expert Tells Senate – The New York Times
He made temperature forecasts for three emissions scenarios. Scenario A was increasing emission growth rates. Scenario B was decreasing emission growth rates. Scenario C was no emissions after the year 2000.
“We have considered cases ranging from business as usual, which is scenario A, to draconian emission cuts, scenario C, which would totally eliminate net trace gas growth by year 2000.”

So how did Hansen do? Global warming theory is based on warming the troposphere, which should warm faster than the surface. The graph below shows the five year mean of lower troposphere temperatures measured by UAH satellite.
Wood for Trees: Interactive Graphs
The next graph overlays the satellite lower troposphere temperatures in red, on Hansen’s 1988 forecasts – at the same scale and normalized to the early 1980’s. As you can see, troposphere temperatures have followed zero emissions Scenario C – meaning there is no evidence humans have influenced the climate.
The other satellite data set is provided by climate alarmist Carl Mears at Remote Sensing Systems, and it also shows temperatures below the (yellow) range of climate models.
Mears’ recent graphs have been altered upwards. Two years ago, the discrepancy between models and measured temperatures was even larger.

The next image overlays the 2017 graph on the 2019 graph. You can see that Mears has moved everything up to the upper limit of his error blue bounds – but even so still shows that the climate models are failing.
Four years ago I predicted that Mears, under extreme pressure from the climate mafia, would alter his data to match the fake surface temperature data sets.
Look for the satellite data to be adjusted to bring it into compliance with the fully fraudulent surface temperatures. The Guardian is now working to discredit UAH, so it seems likely that RSS will soon be making big changes – to match the needs of the climate mafia. Bookmark this post.
That is exactly what happened, but even after data tampering – the models are failing.
Hansen’s 1988 testimony came during the last really hot, dry summer in the United States.
He predicted increased heat and drought, and failed on both counts. The frequency of hot afternoons has plummeted in the US over the past century.
Hansen focused on Midwest heat and drought in his 1988 testimony, but no place has cooled faster than the Midwest.
The US is getting wetter, and Hansen’s 1988 testimony came during the last really dry year.

Climate model forecasts have shown a 100% failure rate, yet mainstream climate science is based almost entirely around them.
The last two afternoons were both the second coldest on record for the date in Boulder.
The cold is forecast to shift east over the next week, with temperatures well below 0F (-18C)
10-Day Temperature Outlook for the Conterminous U.S.
Illinois has never had an afternoon below 0F between February 18 and December 10.
Afternoons below 0F were not unusual in Illinois prior to 1940, but they nearly disappeared during the 1940s and 1950s. They became quite common during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, but then disappeared for a few years after the year 2000. Over the past few years very cold afternoons have started becoming common again.
Afternoon temperatures have declined in the Midwest since the 19th century, with 2014 being the coolest on record.
There hasn’t been much of a trend in the frequency of cold nights, but during 2014 one night out of four was below 20F in the Midwest.
The frequency of hot afternoons has plummeted in the Midwest since the 19th century, with recent summers being the coolest on record.
Meanwhile, the New York Times continues their spectacular lies about the climate, claiming that hot days are increasing in the Midwest and across the country.

It’s Not Your Imagination. Summers Are Getting Hotter. – The New York Times
The exact opposite is true, which is normally the case for New York Times reporting.
The New York Times is quite openly attempting to induce panic with their climate lies, which begs the question – what is their agenda? Historically the big lie has been the predecessor to genocide. Who is funding and directing this fraud?

Sixteen years ago, the climate experts at NCAR predicted the end of snow and cold in Boulder. This was basic climate physics.
Today was the second coldest February 18 on record in Boulder – about 30 degrees below normal. I took this picture on the road up to NCAR this afternoon.
About two-thirds of North America is experiencing weather, while Florida CO2 is trapping heat.
I took this picture on New Years Day east of Phoenix.
But last New Years, carbon dioxide was trapping heat in the southwest – while the eastern two-thirds of the country was experiencing weather.
I took these pictures of motionless windmills flying over the Midwest on January 6 last year.
Good thing they had fossil fuels to keep warm! The windmills were producing zero watts.
A few days prior to last year’s record cold in the East, NOAA boldly predicted it would be a warm winter. Because … science.

This is all very easy to understand – if you are a climate scientist. Global warming makes winters warmer.

If you want to be a professional climate scientist, you have to understand that the theory follows the weather – usually lagging by a few days. And you are a racist if any of this isn’t obvious to you.
During February 1932, Rio Grande City, Texas averaged 86 degrees for their afternoon maximums, and had 13 days over 90 degrees.
At the other border, the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York nearly had to be cancelled because of warm weather.
12 Feb 1932, Page 2 – The Brooklyn Daily Eagle at Newspapers.com
Ahead of the 1932 Winter Olympics in January, there was no snow at Lake Placid, and it was 70 degrees in New York City.
16 Jan 1932, Page 1 – The Los Angeles Times
On January 14, 1932 it was 70 degrees in New York.
If this happened now, climate scientists would be 100% certain it was your fault, and demand immediate world communism.
“Shortly, the public will be unable to reason or think for themselves. They’ll only be able to parrot the information they’ve been given on the previous night’s news.”

I took these pictures in Los Alamos around New Years.
Last year, New Mexico Senator Tom Udall outlined the fake emergency in New Mexico caused by global warming.
USHCN raw temperature data shows a sharp rise in temperatures after 1970.
I did some analysis on this, and discovered that since 1970, NOAA has been losing December data much faster than they have been losing July data. This causes post-1970 temperatures to be skewed upwards.
If I plot only stations with complete records for the year, the post-1970 peak gets reduced.
More evidence the people behind the global warming big lie are attempting genocide.
Alarmism and catastrophic thinking are valuable in the sense that a panicked herd can be stampeded over a cliff.
