A look at the cutting edge of the climate sciences, & the lessons we can learn


If one uses a more realistic CO2 forcing value in line with current papers and combines that with known cycles such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) a macro level model can be constructed that follows current a nd past temperature trends quit well. That model indicates the “pause’ will last until about 2035 +/- and then the warming will start again; however there will be another cooling thirty some years after that.

Analysis: Solar & wind power costs are huge compared to natural gas fired generation


As any competent engineer will tell you you cant get there from here no matter what you want for no matter who hard we wish — pigs can’t fly!

Now it’s 1.5°C


The remember that time you must be as old as I am … lol

The UN is pushing for new, legally binding climate treaties to prevent the planet from overheating dangerously.  I wonder when we will hear “last chance” and “tipping point.”

John Kerry: Scripture Commands USA to Protect Muslim Countries Against Global Warming


If Lurch had a brain it would raise him to the status of an idiot!

Dave the Sage's avatarPA Pundits International

Apparently Lurch is at it again. Last Wednesday, at a ceremony to appoint Texas lawyer Shaarik Zafar to be special representative to Muslim communities, Secretary of State John Kerry said it was the United States’ Biblical “responsibility” to “confront climate change,” including to protect “vulnerable Muslim majority counties.”

Kerry said Scripture, in particular the Book of Genesis, makes clear it is our “duty” to protect the planet and we should look at Muslim countries “with a sense of stewardship of earth,” adding, “That responsibility comes from God.” And here you thought all along that  “Uncle Joe” was the resident crazy in the Obama administration. I must say, it is always interesting to watch a liberal attempt to play theologian. Obama did it with homosexuality and now Kerry is playing it with climate change. They certainly have no problem using religion when it’s convenient to advance one of their crackpot agendas yet it…

The Global Warming Scam Was Explained Almost 20 Years Ago


And he was right on!

Tony Heller's avatarReal Climate Science

Bookmark this classic 1995 article in the Canberra Times. This guy had the entire scam nailed from day one.

To conclude that CO2 emissions are a threat to the environment would be doubtful and premature. Only a closer examination of the atmosphere over a long period and further detailed studies will decide the matter,” Barrett said in a recent scientific paper which caused frissons of anger among scientists.

Barrett, from Imperial College’s chemistry department, pours thinly veiled scorn on the arguments of the “warmers”, saying they are based on unreliable data, misunderstand the self-correcting nature of the earth’s atmosphere and represent science-by-committee. He says IPCC scientists based their theories on the fact that the earth’s temperature has increased by 0.8°C in the 20th century.

“This is within the expected margins of error for such a study,” he says. “A hard scientific view would be that there has been no discernible change…

Understanding Why They Wanted To Get Rid Of The Blip


We just need to keep reminding everyone!

Tony Heller's avatarReal Climate Science

Climategate scientists said they wanted to get rid of the 1940’s blip, and they did. They don’t want people to know what the climate was like in the past, because it wrecks their story and exposes their graphs as complete nonsense.

NOAA Data Tampering – Always Worse Than It Seems


Make the data fit the result that you want is what they do — the new science!

Tony Heller's avatarReal Climate Science

I changed my environment to use the identical set of 1,218 stations for GHCN HCN daily data, as are used for the  USHCN monthly data.

We are of course familiar with the hockey stick of data tampering being done between raw and final USHCN monthly data.

ScreenHunter_2426 Aug. 31 15.10

 But it is worse than it seems. Before they even to get to “raw monthly” data, they have already cooled the past by 0.1ºF relative to their raw daily data.

There seems to be no limit to the amount of cheating being done with the temperature record.

Climate Science Explained In One Simple Graph


Its amazing what you can do with data today! We could prove just about anything today even climate change I bet … lol

ScreenHunter_2417 Aug. 31 06.29 Climate is complicated, but climate science isn’t.

US winter temperatures plummeted from 1950 to 1979. Scientists reacted to this with the global cooling scare, as reported by Science News in 1975

NASA warned of a new ice age by the year 2020.

After 1979, temperatures got much warmer, so NASA’s James Hansen began the global warming scare.

ScreenHunter_2417 Aug. 31 06.29

But after the year 2000, temperatures began to plummet again. So NASA and NOAA responded with the  only sensible solution. They altered the data to eliminate the earlier warmth and the current cooling.

But the data tampering wasn’t enough to keep up with cooling temperatures – so a few years ago they renamed “global warming” as “climate change”

ScreenHunter_2417 Aug. 31 06.29

You might be tempted to think that the practice of climate science is a complete fraud, and if you did, you would be correct.
