Arctic ice spreading south. Snow and cold spreading south. Record floods, drought, crop losses. All due to the dreaded global cooling. “Within a single year, adversity had visited almost every nation on the globe”

This year could be well on its way toward earning a dubious spot in the record books. Arctic sea ice has melted away with astonishing speed in the first half of July, at an average rate of about 46,000 square … Continue reading →

http://www.uscg-iip.org/General/icebergs.shtml Since Earth monitoring satellites were launched in the late 1970s, the number of icebergs drifting south of 48N has increased. Similarly, the number of hurricanes in the mid-Atlantic has also increased. I’d like to get some grant money to … Continue reading →

By Bob Berwyn SUMMIT COUNTY — Colorado may be warming up faster than anywhere else in the contiguous 48 states, according to a new map published as part of the 10-year “climate normals” update by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric … Continue reading →

Dropping CO2 back to 295 ppm would make the climate stable again, like the one they had during the Black Plague and the Potato Famine. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ h/t to Ivan

Hansen’s disciples are in a complete tizzy over Roy Spencer’s model. Some complain that his model matches the data, but for the wrong reasons. Others complain that his model isn’t stable over thousand year periods. They prefer Hansen’s model – … Continue reading →

Dessler says that Spencer’s model matches the data, but it is still wrong. “He’s taken an incorrect model, he’s tweaked it to match observations, but the conclusions you get from that are not correct,” Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric … Continue reading →
