Real Climate Science

There is essentially no melting occurring in the Arctic Basin.

Ice extent loss has slowed to a crawl, and will soon be “normal”

Ice volume loss has also dropped to close to zero.

The ice edge is not much different than it was in 1971.

1971

That was during the global cooling scare, when climate scientists were worried about expanding Arctic ice and a new ice age.

The prophets have failed miserably, but the scam lives on.

Gore: Polar ice cap may disappear by summer 2014

From August 12-27, 1936, afternoon temperatures at Lexington, Missouri averaged 106 degrees, peaked at 110 degrees, and were never below 100 degrees.

Unionville, Missouri also averaged 106 degrees, and peaked at 112 degrees.

One hundred degree days were common during August in Missouri prior  to 60 years ago, but they rarely happen any more.

August afternoon temperatures have dropped sharply in the Midwest since the 19th century, as has the frequency of hot days.

August days over 110 degrees in the Midwest were common prior to 80 years ago. but have only happened once since then – in 1980.

The number of daily and all-time record temperatures (maximums and minimums) in the US has been at or near a record low in 2018.

The number of tornadoes has been near a record low. And there have been no hurricanes.

But reality doesn’t have any meaning to climate scienctists or leftists in general.

Arctic sea ice volume melt rates have slowed to close to zero, so I am pushing my ice-free Arctic date out to December 23, 2019 at exactly twelve noon.

Summers are getting much shorter in the Midwest, and September is getting much cooler.

In 1897, thirty percent of Midwest summer days were over 90 degrees, but in 2009 there were no 90 degrees readings.

One hundred weather was common during September prior to 60 years ago, but almost never happens now in the Midwest.

Summers in the Midwest end ten days earlier than they did a century ago.

But facts don’t matter to climate alarmists, who lie about essentially everything as their standard operating procedure.

NSIDC shows no ice north of Barrow, AK.

But visible satellite imagery shows lots of ice (red) there.

NASA Imagery

Unlike the fraudsters at NSIDC, the Danish Meteorological Institute correctly shows the ice.

DMI Modelled ice thickness

I’ve also observed that NSIDC shows the edge of the ice consistently further back than satellite imagery shows.  But when small fractions of a percent make for large differences in propaganda value, NSIDC consistently sides with the needs of propagandists.

From September 1 to October 9, 1939 – Madison, Indiana afternoons averaged 95 degrees, had thirty-one days over 90 degrees, and eleven days over 100 degrees.  On October 8, 1939 is was 100 degrees in Indiana.  Imagine the global warming hysteria is this happened now.

September/October afternoon temperatures have dropped more than five degrees over the last century at Madison, Indiana.

The heatwave was coast to coast.

Summer ends much earlier now than it did a century ago.  Many years since 1960 haven’t had any 90 degree days, but prior to that it was very rare for Indiana summers not to reach 90 degrees.

This correlates with much more extensive autumn snow cover over the past 50 years.

There is lots of evidence that summers are becoming milder and shorter in the Northern Hemisphere, but that wrecks the multi-billion dollar global warming scam for climate scientists. so they will never tell the truth – about anything.
