In 1978, NOAA published this graph showing nearly a full degree cooling in the southern latitudes between 1955 and 1970. journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/1520-0493(1978)106<0755%3AGTVSMA>2.0.CO%3B2 GISS has erased 90% of this cooling.  Fig.B.gif (407×678) The next graph overlays the 1978 NOAA data in blue … Continue reading →

Not wanting to be outdone by NASA and NOAA, the rest of the hockey team erased the MWP and the LIA, between the 1990 IPCC report (blue) and the 2001 IPCC report. It appears that the year 2000 was a … Continue reading →

Climate fraudsters like to claim that Earth began in 1979, the year of peak Arctic sea ice. The graph below shows why. If they started their graph in 1954, there would be almost no downwards trend to the present. journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/1520-0485(1979)009<0580%3AAAOASI>2.0.CO%3B2

The graph below is a composite of a 1979 paper in the Journal of Physical Oceanography (red) the second IPCC report (black) and University of Illinois Arctic sea ice data. Current anomalies are a little lower than the early 1960’s … Continue reading →

Most people are intelligent enough to understand that the horse pulls the cart, but not climate scientists. As ocean temperature rises, CO2 solubility decreases – pushing more CO2 into the atmosphere. Thus we see CO2  trailing temperature in ice cores. … Continue reading →

Our moron friends are excited about a small area of missing ice in the Barents Sea, which Jennifer Francis of Rutgers claims controls the global climate. You can think of her as the Hank Johnson of climate science. The problem … Continue reading →

In 1999, Hansen was unhappy that the US didn’t show any warming. Whither U.S. Climate? By James Hansen, Reto Ruedy, Jay Glascoe and Makiko Sato — August 1999 What’s happening to our climate? Was the heat wave and drought in … Continue reading →

Some alarmist objected to this graph showing how Envisat has been tampered with He complained that I didn’t have the Y-axes numerically aligned. (Alarmists love meaningless absolute numbers.) So I obliged him, and produced another version which aligns the meaningless … Continue reading →

I was at the gym tonight and looked up just as Mikaela Shiffrin started her slalom run. It was one of the most amazing athletic performances I have ever seen. She took an almost perfect line down the slope with only … Continue reading →

The western Arctic has the most thick ice it has had since this time in 2007.  This might lead a person to project that there will be minimal reduction in ice extent this summer. But what happened in 2007? Very … Continue reading →
