I wrote this post in 2010.
Hyperventilating on Venus | Watts Up With That?
Here was Lubos’ response.
I had to independently agree with the broad and important conclusion – after some checks and self-corrections – and I will try to convince you about the conclusion. This conclusion does mean that people like Carl Sagan, James Hansen, and others who have been using Venus as the model for the Earth’s greenhouse effect were wrong even morally.
NASA’s James Hansen originally warned that 350 PPM CO2 was the tipping point, and that we would all burn up and drown unless CO2 was reduced to those levels.
Hansen (et al) must read: Get back to 350 ppm or risk an ice-free planet – ThinkProgress
Data shows the exact opposite. All of Cleveland’s hottest days occurred below 350 PPM, with the hottest day occurring the week of Hansen’s 1988 Congressional testimony. Since that summer in 1988, Cleveland hasn’t had any really hot days.

The Arctic warmed ten degrees from 1900 to 1947, with CO2 below 310 PPM. It is 100% certain that Arctic warming has nothing to CO2 levels.
If the Antarctic ice regions and the major Greenland icecap should reduce at the rate of the present melting, he said, the oceanic surfaces would rise to catastrophic proportions.

Arctic warming prior to the 1940’s troubled Hansen, so he simply erased it.
May 2018 Measured Vs. Adjusted
Global warming appeals to the left because :
It has nothing to do with science.
Mean temperatures in June have been a little above average since 1895
Maximum temperatures have been a little below average.
The frequency of hot days has been about average.
I started at ASU in 1974, the peak year of the ice age scare. Phoenix had nineteen consecutive days above 110 degrees during June and early July, their all-time record heat wave. And we had no A/C in the fraternity house, just swamp coolers.
Drudge is again losing the plot about global warming.
He linked to this article, which used fake NOAA data to make June 2016 the hottest on record.
Record June Heat Waves in the U.S. by Christopher C. Burt | Category 6 | Weather Underground
Before data tampering, NOAA data shows many Junes hotter than 2016 – the hottest being 1933.
June maximum temperatures have declined in the US since the 19th century.
The percentage of hot June days has declined since the 19th century. Recent years have been among the lowest on record.
Denver is a massive urban heat island full of asphalt, glass and huge amounts of heat being dumped into the atmosphere from air conditioners and automobiles. Here in Boulder (just outside Denver) our hottest temperature this month is about average over the past century, and much cooler than 1954.
On this date in 1934, there were 100 degree temperatures from coast to coast, with Illinois reaching 107 degrees.
US summers are getting cooler, but through the magic of data tampering – NOAA has convinced lots of people of the exact opposite.
I was out cycling much of the afternoon yesterday, and I never use air conditioning. It didn’t feel particularly hot. People who get addicted to air conditioning imagine the climate is overheating, when in fact they suffer from a psychological and physical dependency.
Much of America’s problems lie west of the San Andreas Fault.
Fayette, Iowa is 77 degrees and having an “Excessive Heat Warning.” Their forecast maximum is a blistering hot 86 degrees (30C.)
June 27 temperatures at Fayette have dropped about ten degrees since 1930, and today’s “Excessive Heat” forecast is just above the long term mean, and 22 degrees cooler than 1934.
The climate is getting cooler, but the snowflakes are melting.
One year ago this week I was walking by the Capitol Building, just as a Bernie supporter gunned down a Congressional baseball game.
CNN host calls for beheading the President.
Loretta Lynch calls for blood and death in the streets. The Senate Democrats put it in a video on YouTube.
The day after President Trump was inaugurated, Madonna stood a few blocks away and called for blowing up the White House.
“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
- Barack Obama October 30, 2008
The most destructive form of election hacking is when a candidate intentionally lies about his position in order to get elected, and then stabs the voters in the back. This destroys democracy and makes it impossible to hold a legitimate election. Fraud was Obama’s standard operating procedure, and formed the basis of his presidency.
He lied about his position on religion and marriage.
Then when it became obvious that he lied, he lied about his reasons for lying.

He lied about healthcare over and over again, to get his Obamacare disaster forced on Americans whom the White House considered stupid.
“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Gruber said. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”
- Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber
He lied about his position on the Second Amendment, in order to get into a position to destroy it.
He lied about his view of America and his relationship to Pastor Wright.
He lied about his relationship to terrorist Bill Ayers.
A good friend of mine knows the nurse working backstage at the 2008 Democratic Convention in Denver. She was a lifelong Democrat and was standing next to Michelle Obama when Michelle said “f**cking white people.”
Obama lied over and over again, and the fake news press gave him a free pass because lying about everything is also their standard tactic.
A special prosecutor is investigating imaginary Russia/Trump collusion, instead of the actual well documented election hacking and fraud of Obama and Clinton.
