Crane Glacier Retreat

Posted By Dave Snope
Thanks for posting. I always love to see those hi-res Earth Observatory images but haven't looked in a while. I just remembered the last time I visited the site was back in 2008 when the fire went through my neighborhood and burned down a lot of homes.

Where's the Heat?

Posted By Dave Snope
That is also known as the Dark Heat, and it also the missing energy that solves Einstein's conundrum. We must heap money upon these scientists so they can immediately open a UN research institute in Bora Bora, stock it with new blue Land Rovers, staff it with French/Polynesian girls who will swim the lagoons in search of the elusive Dark Heat while the scientists record their measurements and compare notes at committee meetings under thatched roof palapa beachfront bars. The future of the planet is in their hands.

Alternative Theories in the Classroom

Posted By Dave Snope
That's pretty good satire. If only they could have mixed in the third leg of the stool of morbid TV news: how 35 deadly diseases each strike 10% of the population in the U.S. every year. So either each of us will die 3X over, or 10% of us have 35 deadly diseases.

What's the Motive?

Posted By Dave Snope
Where does your impression that there is a scientific concensus come from? What was the source?

What's the Motive?

Posted By Dave Snope
What was the motive in the 1970's, when the 'consensus' among climatologists was that earth was experiencing unstoppable global cooling due to soot from carbon emissions that was going to lead to mass famine, mass extinctions, and the next ice age by, ummmm, now?

Do we understand people yet?

Realclimate on Consenus & Earth Warming

Posted By Dave Snope
Gavin Schmitt will never stop trumpeting that there is a consensus on both GW and AGW. All it does is drive home the point that he is a politician first, scientist second. And living in the past with old arguments.

There is NOT a consensus. The only consensus is within his very small crowd of colleagues and IPCC editors. Consensus is a political term, not a scientific term.

Global Warming News

Posted By Dave Snope
It's interesting how Phil Platt has long been such an admirable advocate of scientific skepticism, but when it comes to AGW, he goes all soft and squishy and starts quoting political blogs and new scientist as evidence.

Maps

Posted By Dave Snope
It's probably the usual with GISS, the temperatures are always warmest in areas where they have no thermometers. They just fill it in with the warmest data they can find.

Then there is this, as NASA GISS stands alone with their warm maps:

Hansen feels the need to explain why GISS is high in the midst of frigid air

I was working on a general report yesterday, but in checking background for it, I discovered this recent missive from Dr. Hansen. I suppose when your agency is the “odd man out”, you feel a need to explain yourself. Note the difference in November 2010 global temperature anomaly metrics:

UAH: 0.38 GISS: 0.74°C

P.S. I see in their charts that NASA GISS is still shamelessly pushing their version of the Hockey Stick curve in the face of all real temperature measurements. They're still showing unprecedented global warming even as it cools.

2010 - 94th Out of 116 Hottest On Record of USA

Posted By Dave Snope
And take their temperature data with a grain of salt, as usual, because it's well documented to be manipulated to make the past cooler and the present warmer.

Al Gore's junk science debunked

Posted By Dave Snope

Makes one wonder why anyone thinks he is credible.

Because he got a Nobel Prize for that PowerPoint show he did with the live polarbears photoshopped to look dead.
