“Missed It By That Much”

On January 15, 2019 Dr. Tracy Twine told the Minnesota House of Representatives “We don’t expect to see temperatures below ten degrees in Duluth any more.”

Since she gave her testimony three weeks ago, Duluth has averaged four below zero. She missed by 14 degrees.

Cloquet is the closest USHCN station to Duluth. For the entire year, Cloquet has averaged 3.3F, and since she gave her testimony on January 15, temperatures have averaged -4.5F. Nighttime temperatures have averaged -17F.

Here is her graph, showing colder weather at higher values along the x-axis.

And here is the graph updated with the 2019 data.  I had to shrink the Y-axis quite a bit, to get this year’s record cold to fit.

Dr. Twine also forgot to mention that the frequency of hot summer days in Minnesota has dropped in half since the 19th century, and that Minnesota hasn’t a really hot summer for 30 years.

If you are a glutton for punishment, you can watch the entire hearing here :

Third Coldest February 7th On Record In Boulder

Today’s maximum temperature of 11 degrees was 35 degrees below normal, third coldest February 7th on record, and coldest since 1933 in Boulder. And Democrats unveiled their New Green Deal today, promising to cut off our essential fuel supply.  Toto is not happy.

“Never Mind Our Decades Of Baseless Fear Mongering”

Antarctic collapse apocalypse called off.

Dr Tamsin Edwards on Twitter: “Our new @nature study”

Forty years ago, during the global cooling scare, it had “nothing to do with a warmer climate.”

Had Cameron done any research, he would have known that the Ross Ice Shelf has been rapidly retreating for centuries.  It has nothing to do with humans. But lots of funding is at stake with keeping the fear mongering alive.

Basic Physics At NASA

Besides all the other BS in this tweet, the rocket scientists at NASA believe that melting sea ice raises sea level.  They should be sent back to elementary school to learn some basic physics.

Overheated Atmosphere Update

-11F here in Boulder , -44F in Montana.  CO2 seems to be having difficulty trapping heat.  Good thing we have fossil fuels to keep warm.

Playing With Fire

So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire, by people who don’t even know that fire is hot .

– George Orwell

Just back from walking the dogs in -11F (-25C) weather.  Boulder government wants to be fossil fuels free, but without fossil fuels – many people here would be dead in few hours.
