From #AGU14 – satellites detect albedo change in the Arctic, resulting in more absorbed solar radiation


It would interesting to see if the Increased use of coal for generating electricity in China could be the reason. I’m not familiar with the air movement in that area , someone should study that!

Vanishing Ice Most Likely All Natural


By bet is Nature not Anthropogenic!

Latest From The Fraudsters At NOAA


It’s even worse than caner at least when you have it you know you have it. Withe NASA and NOAA how many really even know what is being done with the data they collect to make it seem to be something that it isn’t?

Instead of talking about the return to just below the post-1979 mean, they spin an event from last summer.

But it is much worse than it seems. NOAA claims that the satellite record began in 1979, but IPCC FAR and SAR said that NOAA has satellite data back to 1973 – when extent was much lower than 1979.

These dishonest government agencies are a cancer on our nation.

Sea Ice Extent – Day 350


More ice and hotter temperatures — so where is the heat going?

Good news from #AGU14 ‘Arctic sea ice is holding up to global warming better than expected’


How can 2014 be the hottest year on record and at the same time we are getting record ice? One of the other is wrong!

All Global Warming Happened In 1995


Black energy is absorbing the global warming heat so the satellites can’t messages it.

As of 1995, neither NOAA radiosonde nor NASA satellites showed any post 1958 warming. Graph below is from the 1995 IPCC report.

ScreenHunter_5266 Dec. 17 08.59 Since 1996, there has also been no global warming.

Apparently all global warming occurred during 1995.

100m Turbine collapse: Not bolts this time – weld failure in the main tower


There are just way to many harmonics caused by the uneven blade loading same problem they had with the gear boxes!

tallbloke's avatarTallbloke's Talkshop

De Bilt reports on yet another serious turbine failure. This time the 100m structure folded at a weld line some 30m off the ground. This is of great concern. Whereas most catastrophic failures are due to installation errors at the base bolts, this is a problem with the specification or execution of the construction of the monocoque structure – the main tower.

There’s a fundamental problem here. When steel is welded, the structure of the material either side of the joint, and the weld itself is different to the rolled steel sheet. This inevitably creates a location where stress gets concentrated more as the structure ages.

No Records Highs Possible In The Satellite Temperature Datasets in 2014 (Now Includes November Data Except For HADCRUT4)


The only real question is do we have Accuracy and precision and I think the answer is no — so beating small differences are meaningless to my way of thinking.

CLIMATE SCIENCE

The Kyoto Protocol

Elites around the world tend to believe that rising levels of CO2 in our atmosphere will cause catastrophic climate changes. Collectively they wield enough power to shape energy policies in many nations according to commitments laid down in the “Kyoto Protocol” and subsequent accords. It is interesting to compare the fate of the Kyoto Protocol based on the work of “Climate Scientists” such as Michael Mann with that of the Montreal Protocol based on the work of people like McElroy.

The Montreal Protocol essentially banned the production of Freon and similar compounds based on the prediction that this would reduce the size of the polar “Ozone Holes”. After the ban went into effect the size of the ozone holes diminished. This may mean that the science presented by McElroy and his cohorts was “Robust” or it may…

The 2-Deg Global-Warming Limit


The entire 2 degree C limit was made up and based on nothing!

Politicians from around the globe gather annually in the UNFCCC meetings so they can propose and fail to come to worthwhile agreements on how to limit global warming and its impacts.  Year in, year out, same thing.  For the results of the most recent failed gathering, see the WattsUpWithThat post GWPF Welcomes Non-Binding And Toothless UN Climate Deal.  One of the primary factors that drive the politicians is an attempt to limit global warming to 2-deg C above preindustrial values, where preindustrial is considered the mid-to-late 1800s.

But where did that 2 deg C limit come from?
