Real Climate Science

With only 30 days left to the Greenland melt season, it hasn’t started yet. Yet another catastrophe for climate alarmists.

Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Mass Budget: DMI

This is the second year in a row which there has been a large increase in ice.

Last year, DMI scientists tried blaming it on Hurricane Nicole, but there wasn’t any hurricane this year. Sea surface temperatures around Greenland are running very cold.

This is the hottest week of the year on the ice sheet, and temperatures are well below freezing.

As Greenland gains mass, climate scientists and the press ramp up their lies to rather spectacular levels – claiming the exact opposite of what is occurring.

Finally, an illustration which accurately depicts the state of climate science.

With the arrival of summer, climate snake oil salesmen are up to their usual tactics of lying about the weather. Summer maximum temperatures and the frequency of hot days have plummeted in the US over the past century.

After accepting this, climate fraudsters complain that the US is only 2% of the planet – but it is the only large region of earth where you can do this sort of analysis. Data from the rest of the world is generally close to useless.

During the week of July 3 to July 10, 1936 – afternoon temperatures at Cottonwood, South Dakota averaged a mind boggling 111 degrees, topping out at 117 degrees on July 5, 1936.

July 3rd afternoon temperatures have been declining in the US since the 19th century, and likelihood of hot weather has declined.

On this date in 1911, almost 30% of the US was over 100F – with one hundred degree temperatures stretching from California to Maine. Missouri had temperatures over 110 degrees, Iowa 109 degrees, and New York 104 degrees.

Drudge is reporting “record hot temperatures” in June, when in fact there were almost none. Almost all US record June daily maximum temperatures were set prior to 1989, with CO2 below 350 PPM.  The peak years were 1933, 1911, 1988 and 1936, with 2018 near the bottom.

June was not a hot month in the US, with maximum temperatures and the frequency and areal coverage of hot weather all  declining over the past 100 years.

The amazing thing about climate science, is that most climate scientists don’t know anything about the past climate, the present climate, or the future climate of the US.  And then Drudge parrots their BS.

The Arctic has been cold all summer and is forecast to be cold for the next two weeks. After that, the volume melt rate will tail off sharply.

June has finished with Arctic sea ice volume fourth highest in the DMI record, behind 2004, 2003 and 2014.

But the big story is the slowdown in melt rates since 2012.  The average June ice loss since 2012 is down 17% relative to the years prior to 2012.

In three weeks, volume melt rates will slow sharply, giving Reggie not much time to make an honest man out of James Hansen.

Tom Steyer wants guns banned and believes 0.0004 mole fraction CO2 is deadly. He is so worried about these things, he believes nuclear annihilation is necessary to prevent them from happening.

Steyer: Maybe We Can Have a ‘Nuclear War’ to Provide a ‘Real Course Correction’ to Trump

Steyer believes we need this :

To prevent this :

Democrats are very angry about Trump making peace with North Korea. It gives them one less thing to be hysterical about.
