Real Climate Science

A giant coronal mass ejection occurred during August 1859. When the solar wind arrived at Earth, it brought auroras as far south as Panama, and disrupted all electronic communications. Strong currents ran through electrical wires which had no batteries attached. The light was bright enough for people to read at night. After similar storms in 1789 and 1848, people noticed extreme weather events.

Light was everywhere as far as our eyes could span. It seemed like a sunrise, and was so clear, soft, mellow and exhilarating, that at about 2 o’clock AM yesterday, we read the daily papers in our room.

Modern climate experts believe solar activity does not influence the weather, and that the climate is controlled by a 0.0001 mole fraction increase in a harmless trace gas.

Four years after the New York Times announced the end of snow, upstate New York is having their longest lasting ski season record.

Last year I watched the very short childhood of three baby Cooper’s Hawks

They are back at the nest. Not sure if this is one of last year’s chicks or one of the parents, but I met up with him at dinner time. The face and gaze looks very similar to the top baby picture above.

Same bird?

Arctic sea ice is melting much slower than normal this spring. Normally, most of the melt during May is in the Bering Sea, but the ice has already melted there – nearly guaranteeing ongoing slow reduction in sea ice extent over the next month. By the end of the month, ice extent should be close to the 1981-2000 mean.

Tough times for Democrats and climate alarmists, who expected all the ice to disappear this summer.

With all of their other superstitions falling apart, climate scientists are still clinging to the “declining spring snow cover” scam.

Sadly for the climate cult, three of the last six Aprils have had above normal snow cover. This year was in the top ten since 1967.

Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota is having their latest ice out on record.

Meanwhile, fake scientists Katharine Hayhoe and the Union of Concerned Communist Scientists say Midwest ice is melting earlier, they are having more heatwaves and less cold weather.

Cold nights are becoming more common in the Midwest, with 2014 being the coldest in a century.

Hot days are becoming much less common in the Midwest.

March and April were the coldest on record in the Midwest, which accounts for the record late ice out.

Like most climate scientists, Katharine Hayhoe lies about almost everything. What makes her unique is that she claims to do it in the name of god.

Climate experts believe that the Arctic will become ice-free, because they don’t understand that the Earth is round.

Arctic Sea Ice Gone in Summer Within Five Years?

They look at two dimensional maps like this one from September 1 last year, and imagine that the ice is going to keep melting back towards the pole.

What they don’t understand is that the Earth is round, and that by September, the North Pole is receiving almost no sunlight. Thus there is no energy source to melt the ice.

By the end of August, temperatures north of 80N have dropped below freezing.

The only time the pole can melt is a 70 day window in June, July and August, when the Northern Hemisphere is tipped towards the Sun.

Another important corollary of this is that the Arctic sea ice minimum and maximum are nearly irrelevant to climate, because they both occur near the equinox when no sunlight is reaching the pole.  This time of year is important, because there is lots of sunlight, and the bright white ice reflects the Sun’s rays and cools the Earth. The whole concept of Arctic albedo feedback is based on junk science.

Sea ice extent, thickness and volume are all normal, yet the Flat Earth Society of climate scientists drones on endlessly about an ice-free Arctic – which they will never live to see.

Climate experts don’t seem to understand any of the fundamentals of chemistry, physics or geology – which is why are perfectly suited heroes for graduates of Common Core education.

The number of hurricanes hitting the US is down from nearly 2.5 hurricanes per year in the 1880’s to just over 1.5 hurricanes per year now.

The number of US major hurricanes (Category 3-5) peaked in the 1950’s at one per year, and is now at a record low.

Climate alarmists and the press claim the exact opposite, because they operate from a standpoint of ignorance, superstition and stupidity.

On Cinco de Mayo 1934, much of the US was hot, with temperatures approaching 100 degrees in North Carolina.

About two-thirds of the US was in drought.

May 5th afternoon temperatures have been declining in the US since the 19th century.

The warmest May 5th was in 1934, when more than two thirds of US stations were over 80 degrees.

Climate experts tell us the weather is getting hotter and droughts are getting worse, because they are paid to lie.
