Real Climate Science

It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.

Last night I had dinner with a well known and very bright Los Alamos scientist. When we stepped out of the restaurant, I spotted something I had never seen before – a very bright stationary object next to the nearly full moon. I knew immediately it wasn’t a planet, because the only planet that bright is Venus – which orbits inside the Earth’s orbit and is always on the opposite side of the sky from a full moon.

When Venus appears to be next to the moon, it looks like this.

I pointed it out to the scientist, who repeatedly insisted it had to be a planet.  I keep track of the planets and knew that there weren’t any planets anywhere close to the moon last night. He refused to consider the possibility that he could be wrong, so I pulled out my Canon sx720 pocket camera and photographed it.

It turned out to be a very large high altitude balloon.

I regularly document how the New York Times blatantly misinforms their readers about climate.  They are getting just as desperate with their attempt to overthrow the president, accusing him of divulging classified information to the Russians.

The information was about an ISIS plot, and the New York Times cited an anonymous (of course) official as saying it could damage US/Israeli relations. There was nothing inappropriate about what the president did, and he has the best relations with Israel of any president. The claim above “divulged classified intelligence to Russians in the Oval Office” is just another desperate smear attempt.

Then the New York Times article makes Rosenstein look like an innocent victim of his own anti-Comey memo, saying “he feared he had been used.”  This is the exact opposite of what occurred. Rosenstein prepared the memo to set up the president, get Comey fired, and then use it as the excuse to appoint Mueller.

Here is what the New York Times wrote at the time of the firing, in article titled “Deputy Attorney General’s Memo Breaks Down Case Against Comey”

I don’t know what they are worried about though. According to the New York Times, Manhattan drowned 70 years ago, and the North Pole has been ice-free for almost 20 years.

I was at a party in Los Alamos (where one person out of every four has a PhD) last night, and several people started conversations about climate with me. None of them knew that I was interested in climate, and I just listened and didn’t argue with them.

One popular theory was that Los Alamos had a very dry summer and it was due to climate change. So I checked the official Los Alamos National Labs records and found that they had 39 rainy days this summer and received 6.44 inches of rain.

Raw Data

Another old friend who now lives in Massachusetts and is married to a nuclear physicist, was discussing the record cold New Years they had in the East. She saw that as proof of climate change.

Climate superstition is strong among the most educated people in the world. Because they tend to rely heavily on propaganda sources like the New York Times and NPR for their misinformation.

Arctic sea ice volume bottomed out on September 9, and the total melt was fourth lowest on record this year.

Ten years ago, the world’s leading climate prophet predicted the Arctic would be ice-free no later than 2018.

The Arctic sea ice volume minimum is up 41% since James Hansen’s prophesy was made ten years ago.

None of this will be reported by the mainstream media, whose policies probit factual reporting on any topic.

Christian Komor is a Pensacola, Florida clinical psychologist who suffers Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and is running for Arizona governor on a platform that he will repair the climate.

Barack Obama is going to be angry, since he healed the planet ten years ago.

US Forest fire burn acreage so far this year is 40th highest on record, and down 86% since 1930.

Actual data wrecks their global warming scam, so climate experts simply throw out all data prior to the appropriately chosen start date of 1984.
