Great compilation.  One liberal outdoorsman friend asked me, do you really deny all the science of global warming and I answered that I believe the alarmism is 2 1/2 to seven times overstated and that THAT it backed up in science. 

The evidence of massive overstatement, lies and false promises keeps coming in. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the article:
 
1. "within 15 to 20 years of this [1987], the earth will be warmer than it has been in the past 100,000 years,” Hansen said.

Good grief.  Only if you lie about how warm it was over the last 100,000 years.

2.  [1978] the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere will double by 2020

That would make put atmospheric CO2 levels at 670 parts per million, still less than one part per thousand, a trace element.  Actual number today: 413 PPM.  The increased was over-promised by more than 400%.

3.  "China says it will, by 2020, reduce gases by 40 to 45 percent"

China increased emissions by 168%.  Oops.  China lies (too).

4. "Al Gore’s 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth predicted that there would be no snow on Kilimanjaro in 2020."  Wrong.

Times of London, 2020: Staying power of Kilimanjaro snow defies Al Gore’s gloomy forecast
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/staying-power-of-kilimanjaro-snow-defies-al-gores-gloomy-forecast-8x8l7s0v3


Do the writers keep their money anyway?  Academy award?  Nobel Peace Prize??

5.  In 1986, the Environmental Protection Agency’s Jim Titus predicted that the sea level around Florida would rise two feet by 2020, The Miami Herald reported.  https://junkscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/The_Miami_Herald_Sun__Sep_21__1986_.pdf

According to NOAA, the sea level at Virginia Key has risen by about 9 centimeters, which works out to 3.54 inches.

Is the man still a paid government forecaster? 
...
10. 2010, Glacier National Park erected signs warning that its signature glaciers would be gone by 2020. This year, the park rushed to change the signs as the glaciers still existed.

Question: Does Glacier National Park lose its National Park status if it loses it's glaciers?  Moot.

Do people who once believed all this still believe their sources.

ELEVEN YEARS AGO TODAY (Dec 13 2020) AL GORE PREDICTED THE NORTH POLE WOULD BE COMPLETELY ICE FREE IN FIVE YEARS
DECEMBER 13, 2020 CAP ALLON
On December 13 & 14, 2009, professor, prophet, and soothsayer Al Gore predicted the North Polar Ice Cap could be completely ice free within the next five to seven years.

Gore made his prediction at COP15 Copenhagen which ran from Dec 7 – Dec 18, 2009, where he repeatedly referenced “state-of-the-art” computer modeling to suggest that the north polar ice cap may lose all of its ice by 2014.

“Some of the models suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years,” Gore claimed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsioIw4bvzI&feature=emb_logo

The IPCC was created by the UN for the sole purpose of pushing its AGW agenda, and no real world observations, no matter how contradictory to that agenda, will get in the way.

Just look at past narrative shifts as the real world observations altered: we’re now to believe a warming world means more record snow and more record cold, not less as was previously prophesied.
https://electroverse.net/eleven-years-ago-today/

“Join me in asking president Obama and the US Senate to set a deadline of 22 April for final action in the US Senate,” he said. “I do not believe we can wait till next November or December.”

The Guardian wrote on Dec 16, 2009 in an article entitled “Al Gore rallies the troops in Copenhagen“:

[Gore] kept up the pace by calling for the international community to sign up to a fully fledged climate change treaty by July 2010 – and then announcing that Mexico was prepared to host a deal-making summit.

17,000 "peer reviewed" climate articles use known to be false assumptions
« Reply #1052 on: February 03, 2021, 10:40:19 AM »
https://pagetwo.completecolorado.com/2021/01/29/cu-professor-says-much-of-climate-research-untethered-from-the-real-world-cites-misuse-of-scenarios/

"Peer review" has come to mean Orwellian enforced fake science, false history compliance.

"RCP8.5 is the scenario of “business as usual” where no efforts to rein in carbon dioxide emissions are made, something Pielke says is made obsolete [FALSE] by the fact that emissions, particularly in the U.S., have been drastically reduced in the last 25 years or more."
---------------------------------------

CO2 emissions will only go up and up and up geometrically is the assumption used in US policy decisions - except for the fact CO2 emissions in the US have been dropping for 25 years!

What can you say back to this deceit?  If there really is a problem with emissions and warming that requires consensus and action, it is completely obscured by the false information put out by people we call experts.

yes

Like Stalin passing the study propaganda to his inner circle
and asking them to review

https://www.rbth.com/history/332961-stalins-closest-comrades

then they come back and saying , yes we reviewed it, and conclusions are all sound , based on objective science
 without flaws and irrefutable!!

But weather and climate are not fully unrelated.

Thank God for all the GLOBAL WARMING! Otherwise it would be -30 in Texas!

The facts keep pointing back to nuclear energy.  -10 degrees F. with an ice storm does not touch nuclear energy:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monticello_Nuclear_Generating_Plant
MN nuclear plant operates at 91% of capacity 24/7/365, compared with 35% of capacity for wind and 26% for solar. 
https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/renewable/the-100-percent-renewable-energy-myth/
In other words, wind and solar respectively are the equivalent of off, 65% and 75% of the time.  What's so surprising about off in an extreme weather event?  Wind and solar are off in EVERY extreme weather event.

How come nuclear power wasn't one of President Biden's first 52 executive actions.  We could power the country, cut carbon emissions to zero and save the planet.  They just admitted that for the first time in 48 years in the DNC platform.  But no.  Just more "renewable" boondoggles.  Solyndra on steroids.  Stuck on stupid.

Solar and wind do not replace coal or any fossil fuel, ever.  Nuclear does.  Oh well.  Who cares.

Dr. Koonin: But if the model tells you that you got the response to the forcing wrong by 30 percent, you should use that same 30 percent factor when you project out a century.
Dr. Collins: Yes. And one of the reasons we are not doing that is we are not using the models as [a] statistical projection tool.
Dr. Koonin: What are you using them as?
Dr. Collins: Well, we took exactly the same models that got the forcing wrong and which got sort of the projections wrong up to 2100.
Dr. Koonin: So, why do we even show centennial-scale projections?
Dr. Collins: Well, I mean, it is part of the [IPCC] assessment process.

Floods and droughts caused by global warming?
« Reply #1062 on: July 23, 2021, 10:32:51 AM »
Finally some of this malevolent nonsense is called out by experts.
The following is sourced through Powerline blog:

Power Line
POSTED ON JULY 22, 2021 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN CLIMATE, GERMANY
ABOUT THOSE GERMAN FLOODS
Most people understand that leftists take advantage of real or alleged crises to expand their power. But an equally important phenomenon is that they use crises of various kinds to excuse their own incompetence. (Covid has served such a purpose over the last year and a half; it has become a near-universal excuse for failure of performance.) The recent floods in Germany, which killed more than 150 people, are a case in point, as Die Welt and the No Tricks Zone report.

The starting point, of course, is the Left’s knee-jerk blaming of German floods on “climate change”–just as the current drought in the Midwestern United States is blamed on “climate change.” Any weather you don’t like is “climate change,” and “climate change” exists for the sole purpose of giving government more power over our lives.

Germany’s climate alarmist media appears to be waking up a little, and thus are not totally buying the claims being made by German leaders that the devastating floods were due to climate change. It’s becoming increasingly clear the human catastrophe was the result of unimaginable government incompetence.
***
Today we are seeing unusually harsh criticism coming from a number of media outlets aimed at the German government’s ineptitude. For example, “Welt” science editor Axel Bojanowski wrote a commentary that the flood catastrophe was made possible by “inconceivable ignorance”.

Bojanowski comments further:

Politicians, authorities and the media point to climate change as the cause of the flood disaster. Yet severe weather warnings were not taken seriously. And disaster protection in our country is at the level of a developing country.

The risk was known: Rainfall like this week’s has happened repeatedly in Germany, historical chronicles read like blueprints for the current flood disaster, and hazard maps show the flood risk. Yet politicians, authorities and the media point to climate change as the cause – while disaster protection in Germany is at the level of a developing country. An unbelievable scandal.

At least 156 people have died because of heavy rain in Germany. Rain had fallen in amounts that have always been expected in Germany and have been an occasional occurrence since time immemorial. The same places that have been devastated by floods of rain this week have been hit in a similar way in the past, as chronicles show.

Such floods have afflicted this area of Germany for centuries:

Those claiming that the weather catastrophe came unexpectedly and that there was no way to be ready for it are no longer being taken very seriously, and are only confirming their historical ignorance.

Dr. Karl August Seel provides a comprehensive history of the River Ahr flood events – going back to the year 1348.

The Ahr River, the ground zero of last week’s flood disaster, is the northernmost tributary of the Rhine and has a length of 90 km and a catchment area of 900 square kilometers.

As the chronicles show, flooding events happened dozens of times and the authorities were obviously comatose at the wheel.

For too many years a crusty old bureaucracy focused on climate protection while ignoring protection from the whims of the weather. Their strategy, as unbelievable as it may sound, was to try to produce good weather by cutting CO2 emissions. It’s that stupid.

The people who want us to think they can rescue the world’s climate couldn’t even manage a flood.

Were the political elites of centuries ago better at managing floods than today’s German greenies? I suspect they were. They lacked the universal excuse of global warming, and had to actually do their jobs.

It's not the inflation that's the problem, it's the way you think about it, that's your problem!

Tell that to my nephew who needed $100 to fill his truck with diesel while between jobs.  It's real people and real money you dangerous buffoons are messing with, Krugman, Yellen and the Sanders-Chavez administration.

You would think a column by Nobel winning economist Paul Krugman of Princeton would post under 'Economics' but this is just pathological science.  Link at RealClearPoitics.com is called:

Don't Let Inflation Anxiety Undermine Our Future
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/12/opinion/inflation-infrastructure-debt.html   (don't click)

I used to read and answer these propagandists point by po9int but now I refuse to click on the link because each click raises his profile and stature.  Best ignored, but clear, even predictable, that the main point is we can throw away this $6 trillion and another $6 trillion, and more, and the danger is our worry about inflation, not inflation itself.

There's no point in tracking his predictions because they are always wrong and no one cares.  cf. Market will never come back under Trump.  Oops.

Update, his small thoughts sidekick in liberal thought leading, Robert Reich, also says inflation is not the problem, wage growth is.  Hmmm.  Wage growth was greatest in a generation under Trump.

Pathological Science, "The President has 4 years to save the world", 2009
« Reply #1068 on: November 29, 2021, 09:53:34 PM »
Strangely, it was Trump that lowered emissions.

If the science was right the last 30 years, why are we still trying to save the world?
-----------
"Scientist" James Hansen regarding Obama, Inauguration 2009:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/jan/18/jim-hansen-obama

Barack Obama has only four years to save the world. That is the stark assessment of Nasa scientist and leading climate expert Jim Hansen who last week warned only urgent action by the new president could halt the devastating climate change that now threatens Earth. Crucially, that action will have to be taken within Obama's first administration, he added.

Soaring carbon emissions are already causing ice-cap melting and threaten to trigger global flooding, widespread species loss and major disruptions of weather patterns in the near future. "We cannot afford to put off change any longer," said Hansen. "We have to get on a new path within this new administration. We have only four years left for Obama to set an example to the rest of the world. America must take the lead."

Hansen said current carbon levels in the atmosphere were already too high to prevent runaway greenhouse warming. Yet the levels are still rising despite all the efforts of politicians and scientists.

Only the US now had the political muscle to lead the world and halt the rise, Hansen said. Having refused to recognise that global warming posed any risk at all over the past eight years, the US now had to take a lead as the world's greatest carbon emitter and the planet's largest economy. Cap-and-trade schemes, in which emission permits are bought and sold, have failed, he said, and must now be replaced by a carbon tax that will imposed on all producers of fossil fuels. At the same time, there must be a moratorium on new power plants that burn coal - the world's worst carbon emitter.

Hansen - head of the Goddard Institute of Space Studies and winner of the WWF's top conservation award - first warned Earth was in danger from climate change in 1988 and has been the victim of several unsuccessful attempts by the White House administration of George Bush to silence his views.

Hansen's institute monitors temperature fluctuations at thousands of sites round the world, data that has led him to conclude that most estimates of sea level rises triggered by rising atmospheric temperatures are too low and too conservative. For example, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says a rise of between 20cm and 60cm can be expected by the end of the century.

However, Hansen said feedbacks in the climate system are already accelerating ice melt and are threatening to lead to the collapse of ice sheets. Sea-level rises will therefore be far greater - a claim backed last week by a group of British, Danish and Finnish scientists who said studies of past variations in climate indicate that a far more likely figure for sea-level rise will be about 1.4 metres, enough to cause devastating flooding of many of the world's major cities and of low-lying areas of Holland, Bangladesh and other nations.

As a result of his fears about sea-level rise, Hansen said he had pressed both Britain's Royal Society and the US National Academy of Sciences to carry out an urgent investigation of the state of the planet's ice-caps. However, nothing had come of his proposals. The first task of Obama's new climate office should therefore be to order such a probe "as a matter of urgency", Hansen added.
-------------------------------------------------------

Global warming not global?

Previous post, coldest winter on record at the South Pole.

Coldest game in NHL [Ice] Hockey history tonight.
https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/video/6180353-fans-brave-bitter-cold-for-winter-classic-at-target-field/

On TNT right now, NHL Winter Classic, Minnesota Wild hosting St Louis Blues outdoors at MN Twins stadium Target Field.  Windchill is -24 F. ["The earth has a fever."]  Heated benches for the players, not for the fans.  People paid $250 each for upper deck to attend this.  Capacity 39,000 and the place looks full.

Player comment at intermission:  "great ice conditions".  I suppose so.  But the water bottles don't work.

Global Warming, Drought and the end of snow, continued

Pretty good video at the link of the powder skiing we hope to find on an upcoming trip to Utah.

Weather is variable.  If it gets colder and snowier, it's an anomaly.  If it fits the narrative, no snow in the mountains in the winter and then drought all next year in the melt, then it's climate change.  My ad nauseum point is you can't have it both ways.  The weather is variable.

Skiing through deep powder snow makes the sound of putting your sleepy head in a soft pillow.  Hard to imagine so much snow that it makes the sound of thunder and destroys everything in its path.  Respect, don't underestimate Mother Nature.

Temperatures -10 F when I returned to MSP from a USTA Nationals tennis tournament in Phoenix, where a high of low 70s was a little chilly for them.  Fine, but do I still have to hear about rising temps spiraling out of control? 

It's late February now, roughly the day Minneapolis closes its skating rinks for the season, and still below zero this nice sunny morning today. Too cold for ice skating:

I mentioned to a friend Monday Nt after outdoor sports in freezing temps that Antarctica just had its coldest winter ever.

He said, "That's too bad. It just feeds the deniers."

Yes it does.

Greatest Scientific Fraud of All Time
« Reply #1081 on: February 19, 2022, 01:12:09 PM »
https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/blog/2022-2-18-the-greatest-scientific-fraud-of-all-time-part-xxix

Can you guess?  Global temperature records alterations.

Mentioned on the forum once or twice (or more) .
--------
“The Greatest Scientific Fraud Of All Time” is the systematic alteration of world temperature history records to create and/or augment a warming trend, and thereby support a political narrative that the world’s energy economy needs to be completely transformed by government command in order to avoid catastrophic human-caused climate change. A U.S. government agency called the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI, in turn a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is part of the Department of Commerce) is the most important source for world historical temperature information.  NCEI collects data daily from a network of several thousand ground-based weather stations both in the U.S. and around the world, and reports the results in various “global time series” going back to 1880.  When graphed, the NCEI data show the classic “hockey stick” formation, with rapid, and seemingly alarming, temperature increases in recent years. 

But the NCEI data as presented have been subject to extensive massaging, referred to as “homogenization,” before being finalized and presented to the public as the alarming hockey stick.  Curious citizens, seeing the government bent on undermining the reliability and cost of the energy system based in substantial part on these charts, might reasonably ask, what is the level of accuracy of the temperature presentation, and how much of the presented temperature increase is real versus an artifact of adjustments made by bureaucrats with a vested interest in getting the “right” outcome?

NOAA/NCEI make no secret of the fact that they are altering the raw data, and they give what appear to be legitimate reasons for the adjustments (e.g., a given temperature station may have moved to a warmer location); but at the same time they make the details of the alterations completely opaque such that no outsider can directly assess the appropriateness of each adjustment.  A Japanese scientist named Kirye,
 gathered pre- and post-adjustment data from six weather stations in Ireland and Greece, and showed that in each case NCEI had altered the 1988-2020 temperature trend at the station from down to up, without any association of the data alterations with any specific event, such as a station move or instrumentation change, that might give rise to legitimate “homogenization.”

A new article (February 8, 2022) published in the journal Atmosphere, written by some 17 co-authors led by Peter O’Neill, Ronan Connolly, Michael Connolly, and Willy Soon, “Evaluation of the Homogenization Adjustments Applied to European Temperature Records in the Global Historical Climatology Network Dataset.” ... have collected some ten plus years of both adjusted and unadjusted NCEI data from every station in Europe, close to 4000 stations in total.  They then attempt to some degree to reverse-engineer the adjustments to figure out what NCEI is doing, and particularly whether NCEI is validly identifying station discontinuities, such as moves or instrumentation changes, that might give rise to valid adjustments.  The bottom line is that the adjusters make no attempt to tie adjustments to any specific event that would give rise to legitimate homogenization, and that many of the alterations appear ridiculous and completely beyond justification.         
...
Disclosure in the (adjusted) data:
NOAAGlobalTempv5 is a reconstructed dataset, meaning that the entire period of record is recalculated each month with new data. Based on those new calculations, the new historical data can bring about updates to previously reported values. These factors, together, mean that calculations from the past may be superseded by the most recent data and can affect the numbers reported in the monthly climate reports.
-----------
What??!!!!   The people who make the conclusions and "news" reports (and policy recommendations), not thermometers, determine the data, including the "historical data", updated monthly.

And these ' adjustments' are made in two direction, up for recent data and down for historical data.

I can't believe this is still happening.

Greatest Scientific fraud of all time.

Journal retracts 300+ Chinese affiliated papers

Journal Publisher Retracts Over 300 Chinese-Affiliated Papers, Citing Fake Peer-Review Process
China has retracted more scientific papers over fake peer reviews than all other nations combined, journal watchdog says
By Winnie Han May 15, 2022 Updated: May 15, 2022biggersmaller Print
China has frequently been at the forefront of peer-review scandals, with numerous fake-paper factories a growing concern in the global scientific community. The country has retracted more scientific papers because of faked peer reviews than all other countries and territories combined, according to a scientific journal watchdog.

The scientific publisher Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) was recently forced to retract 323 Chinese-affiliated research papers that had reportedly undergone a fabricated peer-review process, according to Retraction Watch, a research journal watchdog.

In addition, many among the 323 retracted papers reportedly came from Beijing-certified top universities, called the “Double First-Class Universities.”

ACM’s Director of Publications Scott Delman told Retraction Watch that the papers appeared to have come from China’s “paper mills,” referring to the Chinese fake-paper factories.

According to the report, the now-retracted papers published by ACM were said to have come from the International Conference on Information Management and Technology (ICIMTech) held in Jakarta, Indonesia, from Aug. 19 to 20, 2021.

The retractions took place after a tipster told ACM that IEEE Xplore, another publisher of peer-reviewed journals, had also published what appeared to be the same batch of ICIMTech conference papers.

The allegation prompted an investigation that led to the mass retraction of the entire ICIMTech conference proceedings and more than 300 papers, citing integrity concerns over the papers and their peer-review process, Delman said. He added that “a company in China billing itself as a conference organizer had handled all of the peer review.”

According to Indonesia’s Binus University, an organizer of the 2021 ICIMTech, all accepted papers in ICIMTech 2021 would be published in the conference proceedings and submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore.

Delman said a similar case took place in 2018 when ACM received an anonymous allegation that one of its published conference papers had been generated by a computer. After an investigation, they found that a Beijing-based firm had handled the paper’s peer review.

After tracking down one of the conference organizers in Beijing named Lily Gao, who worked at the firm, Gao “informed us that the paper was peer-reviewed and after multiple requests, Gao sent a PDF of the alleged review, which appeared itself to have been falsified, based on the metadata in the PDF sent to ACM,” Delman said, according to Retraction Watch.

After further investigation, all 26 papers from the Information Hiding and Image Processing (IHIP) conference in 2018 were retracted by ACM after none of the authors who allegedly presented at the conference responded to ACM’s inquiry, which raised significant integrity concerns.

ACM is the world’s largest and most influential learned society for computing, headquartered in the United States. The A.M. Turing Award, an annual prize given by ACM, is often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of computing.”

‘Flourishing’ Fake-Paper Factories in China
Zheng Jie, a current affairs commentator and doctor of medicine from the University of Tokyo, told The Epoch Times that fraud in Chinese-affiliated research papers is not limited to the field of computing, but has long been prevalent in all fields because it determines job promotions, wages, and other benefits.

“The ethics-lacking system built by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) encourages Chinese people to create falsehoods in order to advance in life,” Zheng added.

The number of published academic papers is one of the primary indicators for researchers in Chinese universities, hospitals, and research institutions to receive professional titles or be promoted.

For example, in August 2020, the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau stipulated that an attending physician must publish at least two professional journals as the first author to be promoted to a deputy chief physician, while three papers are required for a promotion to a chief physician.

However, some scholars, especially medical workers, do not have time to engage in research, let alone write papers, while many don’t have the capacity to publish authoritative papers. But for promotion and other needs, many turn to the “black market” for academic work.

According to Science Magazine, the authorship fees for fake academic papers in China range from $1,600 to $26,300. And at the high end, the cost of a paper exceeds the yearly salary of some assistant professors in China.

“A five-month investigation by Science uncovered a flourishing academic black market involving shady agencies, corrupt scientists, and compromised editors—many of them operating in plain view,” the report said.

“[A] company would sell the title of the co-first author on the cancer paper for $14,800. Adding two names—co-first author and co-corresponding author—would run $26,300.”

According to the Chinese state-run Xinhua, since 2009, buying and selling academic papers in China has become an industry with a conservatively-estimated market value of $150 million.

A 2017 publication by Retraction Watch pointed out China has retracted more scientific papers because of faked peer-reviews than all other countries and territories combined.

The UK-based scientific journal Nature published an article in March 2021 examining China’s prevalent “paper mill” problem as journal publishers cope with the growing challenge.

Excellent point.
Always watch "the data"
Who is calculating , why and how
and if it even makes sense.

I don't believe the majority of the data "studies " that come out.

Pathological Science, Coolest June in 22 years, not reported?
« Reply #1090 on: July 25, 2022, 11:28:12 AM »
https://issuesinsights.com/2022/07/25/climate-emergency-what-a-crock/

Joe Biden did not declare a climate emergency last week, as many in his party urged him to do. One Democratic senator claimed that the changing climate required “bold, intense executive action” from the president. Another said Biden needed to move because “the climate crisis is a threat to national security.” But there’s no emergency. It’s a wholly manufactured charade.

Though he put off an executive action, Biden said last Wednesday that he has “a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger. And that’s what climate change is about. It is literally, not figuratively, a clear and present danger. The health of our citizens and our communities is literally at stake.”

His non-COVID fever continued:

“Climate change is literally an existential threat to our nation and to the world. … Right now, 100 million Americans are under heat alert – 100 million Americans. Ninety communities across America set records for high temperatures just this year, including here in New England as we speak.”

On the same day Biden issued an authoritarian’s threat:

“Since Congress is not acting on the climate emergency, I will,” he tweeted. “And in the coming weeks my Administration will begin to announce executive actions to combat this emergency.”

Most Americans who aren’t named Barack Obama like to think that the U.S. is the center of our world if not the universe. But just because much of the country has been hot, it doesn’t mean the entire Earth is on fire. Yet our politicians and media focus on unusual heat despite the obvious: If the global temperature “is just about average” – and it is – “then clearly it must be well below average somewhere else.”

The facts, not the Democrats and activists’ political desperation, show that global temperatures have gone nowhere over the past four decades, which is the only period of time they can be accurately measured and compared. Anyone who believes that the temperature record before 1979 is reliable is fooling themselves (and also a blind ideologue).

The only data that can be trusted, that makes a genuine apples-to-apples comparison, are the measurements from satellites. All other temperature reconstructions require faith in subjective readings of often poorly placed primitive instruments, and compromised tree ring signals.

So, then what do the satellite data tell us? That we just went through “the coolest monthly anomaly in over 10 years, the coolest June in 22 years, and the ninth coolest June in the 44 year satellite record,” says University of Alabama at Huntsville climate scientist Roy Spencer.

Repeat the line: Last month was “the coolest monthly anomaly in over 10 years, the coolest June in 22 years, and the ninth coolest June in the 44 year satellite record.”

Yeah, that’s some emergency.

But then June 2022 is just one month of many. What about the rest of the record? While global temperature based on satellite readings has trended upward, the increase has been slight. “The linear warming trend since January 1979” is a mere 0.13 of a degree Celsius per decade, says Spencer. June 2022 was also cooler than a number of months on Spencer’s chart, quite a few of them going back more than 20 years.

Other evidence than the emergency exists only in the overly political minds of Democrats, their communications department (the mainstream media), and the usual zealots include:

“Despite rhetoric to the contrary, there is still plenty of sea ice over Arctic regions this summer, supplying feeding platforms for polar bears, ice-dependent seals, and walrus cows nursing their young calves.” – Watts Up With That?
“If you took a very careful look with consistent data over long periods of time, you will find that these (natural) disasters are not increasing. In fact, the health of the world is increasing tremendously. For example, deaths from weather disasters and so forth have gone down about 95% in the last hundred years. … They really aren’t increasing in frequency or intensity.” – John Christy, University of Alabama at Huntsville climatologist

“The ice caps on Mars have been shrinking in sync with ice caps on earth. To me, that’s fairly good evidence that the sun is involved but NASA assures us that’s not so.” – Bookworm Room
“Natural variability of the atmosphere was the proximate cause of the (recent) warmth and does not represent an existential threat to the population of Europe. Clearly, there’s no cause for alarm, no matter what the media says. But the media won’t tell you any of that, because it ruins their narrative of being able to blame the heatwave on climate change, while hoping you don’t notice their distortion of the truth about ordinary weather events we see every summer.” – Anthony Watts
It’s probably an even bet that Biden will eventually declare a climate emergency. His handlers probably think doing so would help pull his miserable ratings out of their tailspin. But we don’t think Americans want their presidents to act like dictators, especially when they are as feeble of mind as Biden is.

Heat wave for 2 days in London, BIG news.
Heat wave east coast , BIG news.
Arctic losing ice, Catastrophe.
Coldest June in 22 years.  Nothing.
Coldest winter in Antarctica on record, nothing.
Record cold Australia, nothing.

AGN News.  Agenda Driven Narrative. The CNN Project Veritas video, G M post, nailed it.
