Real Climate Science

The last couple of days have been very slow for birds, but I did see the harrier this morning.

Like with the Ozone Hole, scientists are about to move from the world is doomed phase to the we saved the world phase.

Exact opposite of the claims from NASA and NOAA, 2017 was one of the least hot years on record in the US. The frequency of hot days has plummeted over the last century.

Joe Romm was the top climate expert in Bill Clinton’s White House. This week he told us Alaska is burning up, and sea ice is at a record low with temperatures of -30C in the Arctic.

One year ago this week, Alaska was so cold even long time residents wanted to leave. As Romm said, “the canary in the coal mine.”

It’s so cold in Alaska that even Alaskans are complaining

Alaska is celebrating the anniversary of last year’s record cold, with another blast of record cold.

For climate experts – jet stream ridges are climate, jet stream dips are weather, and ice melts at -30C. And all of this is due to an increase of 0.0001 mole fraction CO2 over the last 100 years.

I saw this guy while riding down the hill from NCAR yesterday.

James Hansen is remembered as the father of global warming because of his 1988 testimony before Congress – but in 1968 Tiny Tim laid out all of the principles of modern climate science. It is unfair that he doesn’t get credit for it, particularly the part about scaring children.

The ice caps are melting,
All the world is drowning
The ice caps are melting,
The tide is rushing in.
All the world is drowning,
To wash away the sin.
