Analysis if ‘hottest’ August ever claim: ‘Keep Extrapolating Until You Get The Answer Politicians Are Looking For’

Keep Extrapolating Until You Get The Answer Politicians Are Looking For

http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2014/09/20/keep-extrapolating-until-you-get-the-answer-politicians-are-looking-for

In order to reach the desired”hottest August ever” – start at 0.66, extrapolate that out 1200 km to 0.68, and then extrapolate that out across multiple regions of the planet to get to 0.70. As a final step, you then ignore the huge discrepancy vs multiple sources of much more accurate satellite data – and go […]

Dr. Roy Spencer: ‘The Uninformed, Hypocritical, Emotionally-Driven People’s Climate March’

The Uninformed, Hypocritical, Emotionally-Driven People’s Climate March

http://www.drroyspencer.com/2014/09/the-uninformed-hypocritical-emotionally-driven-peoples-climate-march/

While as many as 100,000 people gather in New York City tomorrow to march for the use of more unreliable and expensive energy, over 300,000,000 people will be staying home. The marchers will be relying on fossil fuels for transportation to get to the event, and relying on mostly fossil-fueled electricity to power their cell phones. They will be enjoying food and drinks which similarly relied on fossil fuels for growing, processing, and transportation. Their clothing relied on fossil fuels. Their health care and entire standard of living that allows them the luxury of attending the march required abundant and affordable fossil fuels. Most of these marchers have romantic, emotional, uninformed attitudes about energy. I get letters and emails from them sometimes, advocating nonsensical solutions to the global warming problem, like increased reliance on “anti-gravity”. After I appeared on a TV talk show with Daryl Hannah a few years ago she told me, “We just need to switch to solar and wind power now”. Such misinformed and naive attitudes are pervasive in the Green movement. I suspect engineers and others who actually make the country run will not be well represented at the march tomorrow. My father used to say, “those who can, do…those who can’t, teach”. The marchers are trying to teach us how we should live our lives, when they have no clue what life would be like if they got their way. Someday we will have a realistic, affordable, abundant energy alternative to fossil fuels. But that day is not here yet. And its arrival cannot be legislated or negotiated with a treaty. It will arrive not through the efforts of politicians and actors, but through the hard work and technical knowledge of geeks seeking to meet the demand of every human on Earth. A demand which will never go away, because energy is required for everything we do. As Germany and other countries rapidly backtrack on their commitment to the use of renewable energy, finding just how expensive and economically damaging it is, we Americans are allowing ourselves to be railroaded into a similar, bleak future. And maybe that’s the real goal of the Peoples Climate March.

Antarctica is a climate denier, too

Absolute record high in sea ice area improved by a few percentThese days, the climate alarmist media are full of tirades against the penguins.Children should only be allowed to play with the polar bears and not the penguins, we often read, because penguins are evil conservatives, anti-Gore and anti-Stalinist mavericks and contrarians paid by the Koch brothers and the dirty Big Oil. Why did the climate alarmist whackos begin to hate these cute animals (and even erase Linux from their hard disks and stop rooting for the ice-hockey team in Pittsburgh)?If you open the Cryosphere Today and especially a graph of the absolute Southern Hemisphere sea ice area, a graph from the places where the penguins live, you will see that these days, the sea ice area is surpassing the all-time record high. Well, “all-time” only means the recent 35 years but this period of time is still longer than most people’s memory.It’s apparently politically incorrect for ice to accumulate and to say “f*ck you, you f*cked up alarmist aßes”. A well-behaved ice with civil awareness should melt away and scream “help to save the planet and introduce a new tax and new bans!”.The winter is just ending on the Southern Hemisphere and it’s the season when the sea ice area typically reaches its maximum value in the year.The Southern Hemisphere sea ice area surpassed 16.7 million squared kilometers these days, beating the previous all-time record below 16.5 million squared kilometers. Relatively to the annual maximum 5 years ago, the increase is 10%, so you may use the IPCC methods – exactly the same methods that they are using for the Arctic – to conclude that the oceans around the Antarctica had to be ice-free for the whole year 50 years ago! ;-)There are tons of stories about the new record high and virtually all stories written in the English language mention the “global warming” teaching for the retarded citizens. It’s deeply embarrassing for the whole Anglo-Saxon world. You find titles likeAntarctica Sets New Sea Ice Record Despite Rising Global Temperature.Oh, really? Global temperatures are rising? The Cryosphere Today graph is only available in the “satellite era” from the late 1970s. It’s just 35 years long. Because the trend of the global mean temperature has been tiny and negative in the last 18 years and 18 is more than one-half of 35, you …
