“We are now starting to see a dramatic cooling in the Arctic”, says David Dilley, former NOAA meteorologist. The recent cold winters and expanding polar ice caps are ominous signs of a global cooling that has already begun, says Dilley. Instead of warming, we need to worry about the coming 125-year cool period, which has already begun. In this must-see 49-minute video presentation – “Is Climate Change Dangerous?“- Mr. Dilley, CEO and senior research scientist at Global Weather Oscillations, Inc., explains why we need to focus on the real problem of a coming cooling. Dilley, who has forty-two years of professional experience in meteorology and climatology, was with NOAA for twenty of those years. The government wrong with its claims of a coming warming, says Dilley, who accuses the federal government of fiddling with global temperature data thereby producing a false picture of what is going on. Here are the points he makes in the video: 1. The 18+ years temperature pause is real. (4.09) 2. Natural cycles are behind the current pause. 3. Ice cores show CO2 lags temperature. (5.00) 4. 7000 years ago there was 50% less Arctic ice. (8.20) 5. The 1000-year cycle is real. (9.20) 6. Planet has been cooling over past 10,000 years. (9.34) 7. Natural cycles are driving our climate. (10.04) 8. Shows cooling from 2023 to 2150. 9. Current warming is perfectly natural. 10. Milankovitch cycles driving large-scale cycles. (13.00) 11. Gravitational forces can bulge Earth’s core by 1.4 km (15.35) 12. Gravitational forces impact global temperature (17.20) 13. Warming and cooling both begin at the poles (17.48) 14. Arctic warming/melt was caused by warm ocean pulses (19.50) 15. “Now starting to see a dramatic cooling in the Arctic“. (22.50) 16. “Arctic is cooling rapidly now. Rapidly!” (24.06) 17. Both poles are cooling rapidly now. (25.05( 18. Poles don’t show signs of warming. (26.30) 19. Western drought and Eastern cold due to 26-year cycle. (27.55) 20. Polar vortices due to Arctic/global cooling. (29.25) 21. Lunar cycles correlated with warming/cooling cycles. (31.30) 22. Rapid global cooling by 2019. (32.00) 23. “Temperature fiddling…more political than anything”. (32.56) 24. “Could be the biggest scientific scandal ever”. (33.20) 25. IPCC using “estimated temperatures”. (34.00) 26. How the government manipulated, rewrote data. (36.00) 27. “This is temperature fiddling.” Not the truth. (36.45) 28. NASA, NOAA’s “politically …

NASA: Sahara Dust And “Below Average Sea Surface Temperatures” Putting The Brakes On Hurricanes
At the online Spiegel magazine here science journalist and geology major Axel Bojanowski features his “Photo of the Week”, which this week shows a dust storm blowing across the East Atlantic off the African Sahara. The above photo is provided by NASA Earth Observatory, taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite. It shows dust sweeping off the coast of Western Sahara and Morocco on August 7, 2015. NASA writes that this is just one of several outbreaks of Saharan dust that have occurred over the Atlantic this summer. The US space agency adds this is even a positive effect on the hurricane season, in combination with another factor (my emphasis): While several factors influence hurricane formation, some research suggests that plumes of dry Saharan dust may help suppress storms over the Atlantic Ocean. In a recent update to its hurricane outlook for the Atlantic Basin, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center said a below-normal season appeared even more likely than it did in May. A strengthening El Niño, an atmospheric environment conducive to strong wind shear, and below average sea-surface temperatures in the Atlantic were cited as the primary factors limiting hurricane development. Dust outbreaks were not included as a factor because of their unpredictability, according to reporting by The Palm Beach Post. Not only is the Saharan dust playing a role on dampening the Atlantic hurricane season, it is also transporting rich nutrients that are fertilizing the ocean, the Canary Islands and even the Caribbean and South American jungle, Spiegel writes.

Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts miserable winter for much of U.S.
Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts miserable winter for much of U.S.

“A super cold winter is on tap for much of the country,” says the 2016 Old Farmer’s Almanac. This will be especially true along most of the Atlantic seaboard and in the Ohio Valley, Great Lakes, Pacific Northwest, and southwestern states, the Almanac continues. The Almanac is calling for above-normal snow and below-normal temperatures for much of New England; icy conditions in parts of the South; and frigid weather in the Midwest The Northeast, Ohio Valley, northern Plains, and Pacific Northwest should brace for a slew of snow. “Super cold is coming,” says Janice Stillman, the Almanac’s editor, “but the good news is that areas with record-shattering snow last winter—like Boston—won’t have to deal with quite so many flakes.” “Just about everybody who gets snow will have a White Christmas in one capacity or another,” says Stillman. “All in all, this coming winter will be a good one for snuggling up next to the fire with a good book! Although the Almanac is predicting super cold in the Pacific Northwest, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a different prognosis. According to KOMO News in Seattle, NOAA is forecasting a 70 percent chance of a warmer-than-normal winter in most of Washington state and a 60 percent chance for the rest of the Pacific Northwest. That forecast is in keeping with the possibility that the current El Nino could become the strongest one ever recorded by this winter. A strong El Nino usually brings warmer and drier winter weather to Washington state – although it’s no guarantee. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Old-Farmers-Almanac-predicts-snowy-winter-for-Northwest-321960671.html http://www.almanac.com/sites/new.almanac.com/files/2016_usa_pr2.pdf Thanks to Adoni, Teddi and Dean Koehler for these links. “The Almanac should know,” brags the Almanac in its press release. “Its 2015 predictions of a bleak and biting winter scored a stunning accuracy of 96.3 percent!” The post Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts miserable winter for much of U.S. appeared first on Ice Age Now.
