Real Climate Science

After the Midwest and Northeast US suffered through their coolest March/April on record, the New York Times has determined that Scott Pruitt is primarily responsible for all the heat.

Five of the ten richest counties in the US are located around Washington D.C. – thanks to the Military Industrial Complex. There is nothing they hate more than peace, which is why they are working so hard to get rid of President Trump.

DES MOINES REGISTER

IMAGINARY CHANGES IN CLIMATE.

“This myth arises over and over again”

In 1939, the Des Moines Register reported how people constantly confuse cyclical weather changes with imaginary climate change.

Since then, the Des Moines Register has written nearly 14,000 articles confusing cyclical weather changes with imaginary climate change.

Including these classics.

“If I want high performance code written, I have an electrical engineer do it, not a computer scientist.”

• Dr. Richard Loft . – April 25, 2018

I attended Dr. Rich Loft’s presentation at NCAR (National Center For Atmospheric research) tonight.  He is the computing CTO at NCAR, and is a computer scientist/physicist – not a climate scientist. The first 55 minutes of his talk was great, but the last five minutes was the mandatory climate BS.

One of his first slides was a 2002 drawing by David “Children Just Won’t Know What Snow Is” Viner, explaining how atmospheric models are structured.

This slide showed the massive wiring interconnect at NCAR’s Cheyenne computing facility.

Then he showed what their supercomputers can do, and pointed out that the NCAR model failed to predict Hurricane Sandy at the end of October, 2012 – due to “incorrect initial conditions.”

Finally came the mandatory climate BS. (Arctic ice-free in 50 years, Jupiter sized hurricanes, etc. etc.)  Again,  Rich isn’t a climate scientist, and is just parroting what he hears from climate scientists in the office.

After the presentation, I asked him why he thought models which failed to predict Hurricane Sandy and break down 72 hours in the future,  would be able to predict 50 years in the future.  He replied with “our models are good for seven to ten days, and it is the difference between weather and climate.”  I asked again why he trusts models forecasts 50 years in the future, at the same time he believes the models are only good for seven ten days. He came back with “the climate models are statistical models.”  To which I replied “isn’t the core of the climate models the same as the core of the weather model?”  He said they were.

I didn’t pursue it any further than that.  We have had the same conversation many times in the past. His interest is high performance computing, which NCAR has always led the way at.

Rich was really happy to see me, and introduced me as a “colleague from way back.” We talked for a long time afterwards, and I think we will likely be collaborating on some WebGL based visualization work – which is my main focus these days and is exactly what NCAR needs for some of their future product plans.

A few hours of mild weather in Greenland during April, 2016 was alarming, and scientists were stunned.

Almost all of 2016 had below normal melting, and that was just weather – but one warm day in April was alarming climate.

This year hasn’t seen any significant melting.

Scientists tell us that the imaginary melting is the fastest rate in centuries.

All information which impacts climate science funding is either labeled as cherry-picking or declared to be weather, not climate. But any warm weather, real or imaginary, is climate. 

Nothing new about this however, climate experts have been pulling the same BS since at least 1871.

every season is sure to be “extraordinary,” almost every month one of the driest or wettest, or windiest, coldest or hottest, ever known. Much observation, which ought to correct a tendency to exaggerate, seems in some minds to have rather a tendency to increase it.

10 Jan 1871 – IMAGINARY CHANGES OF CLIMATE

Climate experts, like fraudster John Cook and the EPA say that North American snow cover is in rapid decline, particularly in the spring.

Actual data shows that they are lying. Since CO2 hit 350 PPM in 1988, there has been a large increase in April 1 snow cover in North America.

Globally, snow cover has also increased over the past 30 years – with recent years generally above the long term mean.

As with everything else in climate science, the only thing you can count on is that experts are dishonest and incompetent.

I rode my bike up to NCAR yesterday (like I do every day) where scientists are hard at work protecting us from global warming. Tonight, Dr. Richard Loft will be speaking about “The Limits Of Modeling Our Planet.”

Rich is a computer scientist, and I used to work with him to accelerate NCAR’s weather and climate models. He is always working to find ways to speed up NCAR’s computing capabilities. Tonight I will get the chance to point out that no matter how fast the hardware is, the limits of climate modeling are the quality of the software.
