NASA didn’t like the fact that their 2001 level of data tampering didn’t show much warming, so they further altered the data to double 1880-2000 warming. In 2001, NASA showed 0.5C 1880-2000 warming, and by 2015 they had increased it to 1.0C 1880-2000 warming.
Scientists tell us that fake temperature data from NASA and NOAA threatens to melt Glacier National Park, and bring us closer to the fatal, imaginary two degrees warming.
As you can see, my assistants are very concerned about global warming this morning.
The first half of April was third coldest in the past 110 years in the US, and the coldest since 1975. The three warmest first fifteen days of April occurred in 1910, 1930 and 1925, when about 80% of days were over 60 degrees.
The Red Tailed Hawks are back, building a new nest in the same tree. They weren’t successful last year, possibly due to late snowstorms on April 29 and May 18. Hopefully this year will be more productive.
Sixty years ago, the USS Skate surfaced at the ice-free North Pole.

So nothing has changed over the last 60 years, except that the ice is a lot thicker now.

A reminder that progressives are not only experts about climate, but many other scientific topics too.
The birds are back in Colorado. And I am too.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The claim was that the ozone hole was going to cause skin cancer in Australia by allowing too much ultra-violet light through the atmosphere.
27 Jul 1989, 7 – Marshfield News-Herald at Newspapers.com
There are lots of problems with this claim.
First problem is that the ozone hole never extends beyond Antarctica, and only appears in the winter, when there isn’t any sunlight. Ozone is created in the upper atmosphere by sunlight. You can’t get skin cancer from sunlight during times when the sun isn’t shining. As soon as the sun comes back out over Antarctica, the ozone hole disappears. How are people in Australia going to get skin cancer from an ozone hole thousands of miles away during winter when the sun is low in the sky?
Second problem is that the ozone hole size varies tremendously from year to year, despite relatively steady levels of CFC’s in the atmosphere. It is quite clear that CFC’s are not the controlling factor.

Just like the global warming scam, the ozone hole scam was another opportunity for government to tax and control, and another opportunity for scientists to imagine themselves saving the planet.
The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.

It has been thirty years since CO2 hit 350 PPM and NASA’s James Hansen warned that the Midwest was going to burn up and dry up.
24 Jun 1988, 1 – The Miami News at Newspapers.com
Since Hansen predicted heat and drought for the Midwest 30 years ago, they have had above normal precipitation almost every year.

Maximum temperatures and the occurrence of heatwaves in the Midwest have plummeted to record lows.
Hansen predicted that global warming would lower the water level in the Great Lakes.

Great Lakes water levels are near record highs.
The Midwest is having their coldest April on record.
Michigan gives James Hansen the big thumbs up for promoting some of the worst junk science ever dreamed up.
Climate prophet Hansen predicted that the Arctic would be ice-free and Lower Manhattan would be underwater by this year.

James Hansen has an incredible record of misprediction and junk science, which is why Democrats love him so much. To his credit – he did get one thing right though.
