The EPA claims that spring snow cover is declining, and fall/winter snow cover is remaining steady. They say it is evidence of global warming.

Climate Change Indicators: Snow Cover  This indicator measures the amount of land in North America that is covered by snow

Decreases in snow cover have largely occurred in spring and summer, whereas fall and winter snow cover have remained fairly steady

• US EPA

Since CO2 hit 350 PPM 30 years ago, April 1st snow cover has increased 10%.

Fall and winter snow cover have also increased.

Gavin is now researching how people caused global warming 56 million years ago.

Sad that they burned all of our fossil fuels! As far as I can tell there is no evidence of any intelligent civilization now, so unlikely there was one 56 million years ago.

Exxon Suncor = Floods, fires, less snow 

Boulder, Colorado – home of a nearly perfect climate – has three year old children suing Exxon over climate change. The last flood we had here was five years ago, last fire was six years ago, and snowfall has been increasing for over a century.

I spent a summer in Boulder when I was three, and the main thing I remember is that it was really hot. It never gets really hot any more.

If oil companies stopped selling their product here, Boulder progressives would be desperately hysterical in about 12 hours. But they are that way most of the time anyway.

Over the past 19 months, more than one trillion tons of new ice has formed on Greenland’s surface. This is because a lot more new snow accumulates each year during the long winter, than melts during the short summer.

Greenland’s largest glaciers are also expanding.

The surface is rapidly gaining ice, and glaciers are growing.  So scientists and the press (of course) report the exact opposite.

On this date in 1896, Adrian, Michigan reached 88 degrees.

Last year, Greenland had their fifth largest surface ice mass gain on record, gaining nearly 600 billion tons of ice.

This year, Greenland is again gaining ice faster than the 1981-2010 mean. Yet the Danish Meteorological Institute continues to feature seven year old data from 2011-2012 in bright red.

NSIDC does the same thing with their MASIE data, because 2012 was the last year when there was any hope for the global warming scam. Since then, Greenland’s glaciers have been expanding.

I attended a debate in 2014 between Kevin Trenberth and Judith Curry, where Trenberth (literally) blamed the US warmth of 2012 on evil Republicans. 2012 was the last year when there was any hope for the global warming scam, so climate alarmists cling to it.

As CO2 increases, the frequency of hot days declines, Hot weather peaked at 310 PPM CO2.

Arctic sea ice volume continues to grow, and is the highest in four years.

The coverage of thick ice has nearly doubled over the past ten years.

Meanwhile, climate scientists are “stunned” by the disappearing ice. Because their livelihood depends on lying about the climate.

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

Last year, climate geniuses announced that hot Boston Marathons were ensured as the New Normal.

Boston had their coldest April 15 on record today, with the marathon tomorrow in cold rain.

Zeke Hausfather is always trying to discredit my graphs showing NOAA data tampering, with one line of BS or another. One of his favorites is claiming that “changing station composition” causes a cooling bias to the US temperature record.

Where did Goddard go wrong?

Goddard made two major errors in his analysis, which produced results showing a large bias due to infilling that doesn’t really exist. First, he is simply averaging absolute temperatures rather than using anomalies.

Absolute temperatures work fine if and only if the composition of the station network remains unchanged over time.

It is simple enough to test his theory, by using only the stable set of 720 stations which have been continually active since 1920.

The trend for the stable set of stations above, is almost identical to the trend for all 1218 stations below.

The difference in the trends between the two groups of stations is very minor, and no matter how Zeke tries to distract attention with his BS – the US used to be much hotter and the NOAA data tampering is fraudulent.
