Real Climate Science

In case you forgot for a minute that many progressives are completely insane.

Democrats take the same gun control position as Adolf Hitler, then accuse loyal Americans of working for Russia.

On thousand years ago Green-land was green, and Vikings grew barley there.

The Vikings in Greenland all froze to death when the weather turned cold.

Climate Change Froze the Vikings Out of Greenland, Say Scientists – 80beats : 80beats

The 1990 IPCC Report showed the Medieval Warm Period and subsequent cooling.

Greenland is no longer green. White is the new green.

Factual climate history wrecked global warming theory, so government funded scientists who depend on global warming funding for their living, simply erased the Medieval Warm Period.

March 24 temperatures have plummeted in the US since the year 1900. Prior to 1950, March 24 was typically a warm day in the US, but recent years have been quite cold on this date.

The likelihood of warm or hot weather on March 24 dropped off sharply after the 1940’s.

The likelihood of cold weather on March 24 has increased sharply since the year 1900, with 2014 being the coldest.

On March 24, 1910, afternoon temperatures in the US averaged an incredible 74 degrees, with most of the eastern US over 80 degrees.

If we had weather that hot now, climate scientists would state that they were 97% certain it was due to man-made CO2. As is almost always the case in climate science, the claims of its practitioners are the exact opposite of reality.

Dr. Will Happer and myself in front of Albert Einstein’s house at Princeton, New Jersey.

This article by Dr. Happer was in the Denver Post last week.

Albert Einstein would almost certainly have been a global warming skeptic if he were alive today. Many distinguished, contemporary scientists are skeptics, too.

We are lucky that Einstein left a rich legacy of pithy quotes that reveal how he would probably relate to today’s cult of global warming alarmists.

Take the oft-repeated propaganda that 97 percent of scientists support global-warming alarmism.

Quite aside from the falseness of the claim, Einstein would have remembered the famous attack on himself, “A Hundred Scientists Against Einstein,” published in Germany in 1931. His response was, “If I were wrong, one would have been enough.”

His view of groupthink was summarized in another comment: “In order to be a member of a flock of sheep, one must, above all, be a sheep oneself!”

Or take the oft-repeated statement by climate alarmists, most of whom have little real knowledge about any science: “The science is settled!”

Science, and especially a scientific topic as complicated as the Earth’s climate, is never settled. No credible astronomer, for example, would ever say we know everything about the universe. As Einstein put it, “We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.”

Einstein himself had shown that Isaac Newton’s wildly successful law of universal gravitation had major deficiencies.

For example, Newtonian gravitation had no room for the gravitational waves, whose existence, at exactly the level Einstein predicted, was first demonstrated by my Princeton friends, Joe Taylor and Russell A. Hulse, for which they received a richly deserved Nobel Prize in 1993.

Most importantly, Einstein would have paid close attention to how well the establishment theory of global warming agreed with experiment. He famously stated: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right. A single experiment can prove me wrong.”

Would Albert Einstein be a global warming skeptic? Yes

Last March, the New York Times announced that the early spring was caused by global warming.

Spring Came Early. Scientists Say Climate Change Is a Culprit. – The New York Times

March temperatures in New York have been falling for 45 years, and five of the last six months of March have been below normal temperature. But facts aren’t relevant at the New York Times.

This year, climate experts say that the late spring is caused by climate change.

The Washington Post also says this year’s late spring is actually an early spring, and it is caused by global warming, just as they expected.

Spring is running 20 days early. It’s exactly what we expect, but it’s not good. – The Washington Post

Had Angela Fritz actually looked at the data, she would know that March temperatures around Washington DC have been running cold in recent years, and there is no long term trend.

A high school student @2050Age tweeted first day of spring DC temperatures yesterday, showing how they have declined.

Ice Age 2050 on Twitter: “March 21st is getting colder in Washington DC… “

This is what the Washington Post early spring looked like yesterday in Philadelphia.

Pennsylvania is having its second coldest march afternoon temperatures on record, twenty-one degrees colder than 1945 and 1946. There has been no trend in Pennsylvania March maximum temperatures since 1895

Warm springs are global warming. Cold springs are climate change. And every month is junk climate science.

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

Four years after the New York Times announced the end of snow, New York has tied an 1880’s snowfall record of five consecutive years of 30+ inch snowfall.

The End of Snow? – The New York Times

NYC hasn’t seen snow like this in 130 years – CNNPolitics

Undaunted by their spectacular record of consistent forecasting and logic failure, climate scientists have determined that the same climate as the 1880’s is evidence that the climate has changed.

Is Climate Change Making Winter Weather Worse? New Study Stokes the Debate | The Weather Channel

Climate science is like a Shakespearean comedy, You couldn’t make up such ridiculous and idiotic characters as the people known as “climate scientists.”

Climate experts say Washington DC cherry trees are blooming earlier due to “global warming” and predicted that peak bloom this year would be March 17-20.

It is March 22, and Washington DC looks like mid-winter. Perhaps all of the white stuff on the ground is fallen cherry blossom petals?

But not to worry!  Experts have updated their failed forecast to March 27.

Just in time for the next snowstorm in DC.

Weather Street:Clouds and Precipitation Forecast Movie

Cherry blossom bloom dates have been trending later in DC, not earlier. But climate experts cling to their illusion that CO2 controls the climate and are thus blinded to reality.

Climate is climate, and climate science is nonsense, and never the twain shall meet. Experts believe cherry trees are going to start blooming in January, in spite of the fact that the concept is ridiculous and there is no evidence to back it up.

Could cherry blossoms one day be blooming in winter? – The Washington Post

March temperatures in the DC area show no long term trend, but recent years have been generally cold.

It wasn’t always cold in DC during March though – 1945 and 1946 had very early blooms.

Prior to 1950, March 22 was frequently a warm day in the US, with 1907 and 1910 being the warmest. During those years, 60% of US stations were over 70F on March 22.

There was a sharp drop off in the frequency of March 22 eighty degree weather after 1940.

On March 22, 1907 much  of the southeastern US was over 90 degrees, and 80 degree temperatures were widespread as far north as New York.

The belief that CO2 controls temperature is the most embarrassing and mindless mass superstition of the modern age.

Thirty years ago, the world’s leading climate expert told Congress that the Midwest was going to see an immediate increase in droughts and heatwaves, due to an increase in atmospheric CO2.

24 Jun 1988, Page 135 – The Palm Beach Post at Newspapers.com

His forecasts completely failed. The frequency of hot days in the Midwest has plummeted, while precipitation has steadily increased. Like 97% of climate scientists, Hansen had no clue what he was talking about.

Having gotten everything exactly backwards, climate scientists have now pushed the date of this calamity out to the end of this century – long after they are dead and no longer need to defraud the public to pay for their tropical vacations to escape the Midwest cold.

As expected in a warming world, the spring NH snow cover extent is declining quite significantly.

• John Cook, Skeptical Science

Toto continues his global warming research into the evening hours. His particular area of interest is declining spring snow cover, and spring arriving earlier than it used to.

Spring storm #5 headed to Virginia this weekend.

Concern about declining spring snow cover is keeping Toto up well into the night.

All of our top government climate experts say that snow cover is declining.

Fraudster John Cook has this on his web site :

Long-term trend in snow cover in rapid decline

What The Science Says:  ….. the long-term trend in … annual snow cover is one of rapid decline. As a result, the planet as a whole is becoming less reflective and absorbing more sunlight, which is accelerating global warming.

Long-term trend in snow cover in rapid decline

John Cook’s claims are the exact opposite of what is occurring. Northern Hemisphere snow cover has been steadily increasing over the last 30 years, when CO2 reached 350 PPM and NASA’s James Hansen gave his dire global warming testimony to Congress.

Rutgers University Climate Lab :: Global Snow Lab

Snow cover is well above normal now.

Rutgers University Climate Lab :: Global Snow Lab

Winter snow extent has been steadily increasing, due to cold Arctic air intruding to lower latitudes.

Earlier this year, there was snow on the ground in all 50 states at the same time – including Florida.

It is time to shut down the multi-billion dollar global warming scam. Government money has corrupted climate science beyond any level of hope that it can be fixed.
