Tuesday 11 November 2014 Winter storm warning in effect for: Chapleau – Missinaibi Lake, Gogama – Foleyet, Kapuskasing – Hearst – Smooth Rock Falls, Kirkland Lake – Englehart, Fort Albany, Moosonee, Agawa – Lake Superior Park, Searchmont – Montreal River Harbour – Batchawana Bay, Timmins – Cochrane – Iroquois Falls, Wawa – Pukaskwa Park and White River – Dubreuilville regions A major winter storm is occuring and is expected to produce total accumulations of 30 to 50 cm (11.8″ to 19.7″) of snow by mid-day Wednesday. As of 3 PM EST Chapleau has reported 29 cm (11.4″) of snow, Lake Superior Park about 21 cm (8.3″) and Wawa about 15 cm (5.9″). Poor visibilities in snow and blowing snow are expected today and will continue into Wednesday morning. There is some potential for freezing rain in the Kirkland Lake and Gogama regions this evening and total snowfall accumulations in the 10 to 15 cm (3.9″ to 5.9″) range are expected by Wednesday. cur together.

Guest Opinion: Dr. Tim Ball Man-made global warming is real, because it was humans who created the idea and proved, independent of nature, that human activity was the cause. It is a real idea; it is not real in fact. It is in the same context as Goethe’s comment that “The unnatural, that too is…

Forty Years Ago, The Polar Vortex Was Caused By Global Cooling
Forty Years Ago, The Polar Vortex Was Caused By Global Cooling
Experts say the polar vortex is caused by global warming and disappearing ice, but forty years ago they said it was caused by global cooling and expanding ice. Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry, high-altitude polar winds —the so-called circumpolar […]

New paper finds bristlecone pines (used for Mann’s hockey stick) grow at significantly different rates & often not related to temperature – Published in Environmental Research Letters
New paper finds bristlecone pines (used for Mann’s hockey stick) grow at significantly different rates & often not related to temperature
http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2014/11/new-paper-finds-bristlecone-pines-used.html
A paper published today in Environmental Research Letters has very important implications for tree-ring paleoclimate research [dendrochronology], including Michael Mann’s debunked hockey sticks. The paper finds that growth of bristlecone pines varies significantly depending on altitude, and depending on whether the trees are located on the North or South side of a mountain. According to the authors, such differences are often not temperature related and thus could contaminate tree-ring datasets for which the false assumption is made that tree-rings can accurately reconstruct temperature variations. Michael Mann’s hockey stick is the most thoroughly debunked “icon” in the history of science, but this paper demonstrates even more reasons why his hockey stick cannot be relied upon. According to the authors, “Treeline site chronologies should be constructed with this vertical heterogeneity in mind. Samples from upper treeline and from trees below treeline should not be mixed to avoid a ‘diluted’ or ‘mixed-signal’ site chronology, particularly at treeline sites that occur in relatively dry environments such as the White Mountains of California. Similarly, treeline samples from differing aspects should not be mixed to avoid problems and uncertainties related to potential ‘divergences’ and to ‘dilution’. Interpretations of existing bristlecone chronologies need to take this into account, particularly when these ring width chronologies are used in climate reconstructions. Furthermore, bristlecone pine dendroclimatological research would benefit from the pursuit of mechanistic studies of bristlecone radial growth and from directly measured temperature and moisture variability in high alpine environments. Such research would help to more accurately describe the species response to climate variability.” And tree-ring data from different sites “should not be mixed to avoid a ‘diluted’ or ‘mixed-signal’ site chronology, particularly at treeline sites that occur in relatively dry environments such as the White Mountains of California. Similarly, treeline samples from differing aspects should not be mixed to avoid problems and uncertainties related to potential ‘divergences’ and to ‘dilution’. Interpretations of existing bristlecone chronologies need to take this into account, particularly when these ring width chronologies are used in climate reconstructions” Michael Mann’s “iconic” MBH98 hockey stick featured prominently in the 2001 IPCC report, before being fully debunked and subsequently dropped by the IPCC. Mann’s use of bristlecone pines was criticized by McIntyre and McKitrick, and the NAS panel agreed and went further by saying …
