ALL THE LATEST FROM CLIMATE DEPOT FIGHTING THE CULT OF CLIMATE SCIENCE

Morano: ‘Sen. Kerry once called the UN climate panel the ‘gold standard’ of science. Well Climategate exposed the IPCC as ‘fool’s gold.’ Kerry would have you believe is that somehow acts of U.S. Congress can control the weather: If we pass a climate bill, we can reduce droughts, hurricanes & tornadoes. This is now akin to medieval witchcraft where we used to blame witches for controlling the weather. Now akin to Nostradamus & the Mayan calendar’
NYT: ‘Hoerling has published research suggesting that the 2010 Russian heat wave was largely a consequence of natural climate variability, and a forthcoming study he carried out on the Texas drought of 2011 also says natural factors were the main cause. Dr. Hoerling contended that Dr. Hansen’s new paper confuses drought, caused primarily by a lack of rainfall, with heat waves’
Rebuttal: More accurate NYT headline would have been: ‘New Hansen Paper Cherrypicks The 1970s Ice Age Scare For Comparing Heatwaves’ — ‘Yes, the 1970s were cold. Why not compare against the 1930s? This is junk science at its worst’
1. Note all of missing S. H. data. Weather stations operated during this time, but they are excluded. Why? 2. The period chosen, 1955-1999 leaves out warmer 1930′s & cooler 2000′s. Why? 3. Period from 2000-present has no statistically significant warming. Leaving that period out biases presentation. 4. Period chosen exhibits significant postwar growth, urbanization is not considered
Climate Depot Note: Thanks to Hansen, we will see an unprecedented spike in stories blaming any & every weather event on AGW. No longer will temps matter as much. Instead, warmists will now boast 100% scientific certainty that whatever calamity occurs — mankind caused it. Welcome back to ancient times when mankind believed bad weather was retribution for their sins or Medieval times when witches were blamed for bad weather & crop failures. We truly live in an age of superstition’
Stott: ‘Extreme weather events are ever present, and there is no evidence of systematic increases…Global warming represents the latest doom-laden ‘crisis,’ one demanding sacrifice to Gaia for our wicked fossil-fuel driven ways. But neither history nor science bolsters such an apocalyptic faith’
Global temps COOL in July: ‘July 2012 was the coolest July since 2008’ — Why isn’t Antarctic the canary in the coal mine? ‘The coldest spot on the globe in July was the South Pole, where winter temperatures averaged 8.1 degrees F colder than normal’
TIME Magazine June 1974: ‘Another Ice Age?’ — ‘In Africa, drought continues for the sixth consecutive year, adding terribly to the toll of famine victims. During 1972 record rains in parts of the U.S., Pakistan and Japan caused some of the worst flooding in centuries’
Cold spell gripped Europe 3,000 years before ‘Little Ice Age,’ says study – ‘The cooling may have coincided with drought in the tropics’ — ‘Evidence is accumulating that at least two cold spells gripped the northern hemisphere during this time, and that . Emerging research on climate during this Holocene period suggests that temperature swings were more common than previously thought’
