Real Climate Science

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.

Fifty years ago I spent the summer at camp in Florissant, Colorado.  I spent my days target shooting, and nights singing around the bonfire, shooting fireworks, and making out with girls at their camp half a mile away.

Almost all of those things are illegal now (singing may still be allowed) – but millions of high quality people are coming to Colorado to get stoned.

Arctic sea ice thickness has been increasing for the past twelve years, and is up 44% since 2012. I calculated this by dividing DMI volume by MASIE extent.  (The MASIE records only go back to 2006.).

The Arctic Basin is covered with thick ice.

This is a change from ten years ago, when much of the Arctic was covered with thin ice.

According to this New York Times article from 1958, Central Arctic ice thickness is about the same as it was 60 years ago.

Yesterday, the fake news New York Times and Mark Serreze quite predictably conflated Arctic sea ice thickness with extent, and declared their Arctic melting scam to still be alive.  Apparently no one at the New York Times actually reads the New York Times.

That is the same Mark Serreze who predicted the North Pole would be ice-free ten years ago, and declared the Arctic to be screaming.

My forecast that NSIDC would rapidly ramp up the junk science and BS, is coming true however.

Drudge is linking to articles claiming record heat in the East and the Midwest. As always, fake news. June 30 heat has dropped off sharply since the peak in 1901, with almost all of the coolest years coming after Hansen’s 1988 testimony to Congress.

New York isn’t forecast to have any 100 degree days this week, but this week in 1901 temperatures in New York were over 100 degrees on several days, and hundreds of people were dying on the streets. On June 29, 1936 – Indiana was 111 degrees – the first of many days over 110 degrees that summer.

Later in July 1901, the heatwave expanded to Europe

And continued into August.

Climate alarmism depends on a lack of knowledge of history, combined with a press corps willing to print fake news. Cold and rainy in Boulder right now, and the greenest I have ever seen it at the end of June.

Temperature in the Venusian troposphere increases linearly with altitude. At an altitude of 50km in the Venusian atmosphere, the temperature is about the same as at Earth’s surface.

At an altitude of 50km in the Venusian atmosphere, the pressure is also about the same as the earth’s surface.

What this demonstrates is that planetary temperature correlates with atmospheric pressure, not atmospheric composition. Venus’ atmosphere has 95% CO2, Earth’s atmosphere has 0.04% CO2.  Incredible that an entire field of (junk) science could be based on such a fundamental misunderstanding of basic physics.

The surface of Venus receives very little sunlight, and receives no sunlight for months at a time. yet the temperature never drops. How could anyone be stupid enough to believe the high temperatures are due to the “greenhouse effect?”
