“Any theory needing to rely so consistently on fudging the evidence … must be looked on not as science at all, but as simply a rather alarming case study in the aberrations of group psychology.” – Christopher Booker on global warming proponents
The meeting of global warming scientists at Harvard this week. Dress appropriately.
Coldest Fall and Winter in the U.S. in 102 Years
SAME SHIT – DIFFERENT CENTURY
The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen , Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.

Save the seals?
I challenge whether your chart shows anything except a slight rise is global temps, of at best, a rise of couple of centigrades over 100 years. Impending doom? I think not!
Peak cheap oil should take care of the rest.
Put me on the denier list.
If I had the time to look into it, I’d like to know what they based their “coming ice age” claims on back when I was in grade school in the early/mid 70’s. According to my teachers then we should be ass deep in an ice age right now with the northern US uninhabitable.

The chart is showing how much colder it was this year than any time in the last century. That’s the point of the post.
Oh come on it has to get cooler to get warmer. So…………….they take everything we have.
Climate scientists argue about climate change. The rest of us deal with weather. It was a cool winter here, there’s no doubt. But it was dry. We’re still in a hell of a drought. There is history of drought here, but this one is hanging in for the record books.
I have to gauge the accuracy of these climate change claims on the bona fides of the people making the claims. It looks to me like certain elites with a stake it he energy game are sure spending a lot of money on the denial side, and that’s a sign to me.
On the other hand, I know people with no axe to grind particularly, who expect an exponential change for the worse on warming with twenty years. I hope like hell they’re wrong, but I’m hesitant to bet against it.
Time will tell.

I’ve never once heard climate change advocates define what constitutes “change.” Does a 1 degree change count? 0.1? And over what time period? A year? A century?
And could any of the knuckleheads point to a time in the planet’s past that didn’t involve change? Are we really supposed to believe that an incredibly complex system like the Earth’s climate is supposed to remain static? Why?
I’m going to go out on a limb here and state that this has nothing to do with warming, change, or the environment. This bullshit is merely the pretext for political and social control. The New World Order psychopaths are relentless in their push for power over others.
Thats US temperatures. Its even funnier when you take into account “global” temperatures (relatively known for 100 years).
As we can see from the below chart, temperatures have plateaued off for about 17 years now (since 1998). Basing global warming off of global temperature alone is a no go.

The antarctic has been accruing ice at an unprecedented rate, well outside of its normal range of activity. The highest, and lowest ever record temperatures in the antarctic have been in the last couple of years.
Now, the satellite they positioned over the antarctic is suggesting that ice volumes are falling. I wouldn’t be willing to bet the farm on it, but the going hypothesis right now is that ice is melting off the mainland, and then being shoved back upagainst the mainland by a strong prevailing wind, causing artificially large amounts of extent sea ice to be present.
A lovely hypothesis, and one that should be tested. Unfortunately in climate science we get hypothesis->doom prediction. There is no middle step of testing it for accuracy.
Arctic sea ice has shown a greater amount of variability, and due to its proximity to industrial nations makes for a better photo op anyways.
As we can see from the below chart, the current year is tracking slightly below average, yet still within one standard deviation of the average amount of extent sea ice for this time of year.

Then of course, there is sea ice volume:
“One of the things we’d noticed in our data was that the volume of ice year-to-year was not varying anything like as much as the ice extent – at least in 2010, 2011 and 2012,” said Rachel Tilling from the UK’s Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling, who led the study.”

I’d love to see multi-year studies of extent sea ice, ice volume, and then of course a graph of carbon dioxide growth.
PS:
I’ve always wondered if there were gaps in their carbon dioxide ice data. We all know they have ice samples from thousands of years ago, but what if carbon dioxide and other gases have been cyclical, causing complete ice melt which would create gaps in the dat? I mean, we measure against isotopes and things like that, but they typically have errors of +-100 years. The younger dryas melting kicked off in as little as fourty years, ample enough time for a warming to “pulse” and melt the ice, then be followed by a corrective cooling that would generate ice.
I don’t know, I’d love to spend more time on this, but I don’t get paid to do it, nor am I ever likely to. Its a wonderfully complex subject completely dominated by shitty politics.
Such a shame.
No doubt it was one cold winter, especially if you live in the mid west and ne. They’re still digging themselves out of parts of Michigan, where the trees are just the right height, and they were covered in snow this winter
You’d have thought it was the onset of a new ice age.
I missed the date on the story, at first, but it was the data set which I’m not sure shows anything, and yes, I get the point, thanks!
Don’t take me off the denier list.

global warming on a sunny day, and global cooling on a cloudy day.
We live on a planet with a complex, dense atmosphere that spins on a tilted axis, and rotates around a medium-sized, active yellow star that in turn rotates on an outer edge of a spiral galaxy. On what basis should we expect anything but wide variations in planetary climate over time? The miracle is how slowly they actually occur, and how narrow the range of variation actually is over extended periods of time. How preposterous to believe that our feeble efforts cause any significant change in the outcome resulting from cosmic forces!
Warming ? Do people STILL believe in that ? Wankers !

“When future generations try to understand how the world got carried away around the end of the 20th century by the panic over global warming, few things will amaze them more than the part played in stoking up the scare by the fiddling of official temperature data. There was already much evidence of this seven years ago, when I was writing my history of the scare, The Real Global Warming Disaster. But now another damning example has been uncovered by Steven Goddard’s US blog Real Science, showing how shamelessly manipulated has been one of the world’s most influential climate records, the graph of US surface temperature records published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Goddard shows how, in recent years, NOAA’s US Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) has been “adjusting” its record by replacing real temperatures with data “fabricated” by computer models. The effect of this has been to downgrade earlier temperatures and to exaggerate those from recent decades, to give the impression that the Earth has been warming up much more than is justified by the actual data. In several posts headed “Data tampering at USHCN/GISS”, Goddard compares the currently published temperature graphs with those based only on temperatures measured at the time. These show that the US has actually been cooling since the Thirties, the hottest decade on record; whereas the latest graph, nearly half of it based on “fabricated” data, shows it to have been warming at a rate equivalent to more than 3 degrees centigrade per century.
When I first began examining the global-warming scare, I found nothing more puzzling than the way officially approved scientists kept on being shown to have finagled their data, as in that ludicrous “hockey stick” graph, pretending to prove that the world had suddenly become much hotter than at any time in 1,000 years. Any theory needing to rely so consistently on fudging the evidence, I concluded, must be looked on not as science at all, but as simply a rather alarming case study in the aberrations of group psychology.” –Christopher Booker
