Apparently they’re stealth hurricanes, since the US mainland has not been hit by a major hurricane since October 24, 2005 (Hurricane enable: How climate change is mixing up bigger, badder storms ) Global warming and hurricanes are like Bourbon Street and Hurricanes: The farther down the road you go, the more intense they get.

And provides lots and lots of Warmist approved talking points that skirt science and history (Reuters) The world’s oceans have absorbed more than 90 percent of global warming since the mid-20th century, making accurate measurements of deep ocean temperatures vital to predicting how much global temperatures and sea levels are going to rise. In 1999, […]

Don’t forget, this is supposed to be about Science (via Tom Nelson) (Boulder Daily Camera) [Gerald Meehl, a senior scientist at NCAR] “But how these things get portrayed, and the wording used to describe them, may change, to try to make it more clear. The caveat is that that’s not the final version.” That was […]

No, really (UK Register) Global warming and climate change are usually thought to mean that world sea levels will rise, perhaps disastrously. But according to US government boffins, in recent times (2010 and 2011, to be precise) phenomena driven by human carbon emissions have actually caused world sea levels to fall. The seas have, of […]

Biofuels, including ethanol, might be workable in the future. Heck, using sugar as fuel seems to be working well in Brazil. But, what’s being done in America, and much of the developed world, where it is mostly food being used to develop fuels, is an unmitigated disaster (article is behind the paywall. You can see […]

Usually I focus on the politics of “climate change”, throwing in a few facts and scientific data. Here’s a bit of true science I noticed while going through the feedreader (The Hockey Schtick) More bad news for Michael Mann: A new paper published in Climate of the Past finds that ‘modern sample bias’ has “seriously […]

Two of the three come via Junk Science, which actually all deserve their own longer post, but, hey, Sunday. The first is about the urban heat island effect making globull warming worse for the poor (Toronto Star) Mitigating the Urban Heat Island effect — which can be as easy as switching roof colours — is […]

Unlike during the 99.9999999% of the history of the planet Earth (Climate change: forecast for 2100 is floods and heat … and it’s man’s fault ) Climate scientists have concluded that temperatures could jump by up to 9F (5C) and sea levels could rise by up to 2ft 8ins (82cm) by the end of the […]

Why? Because you refuse to give up your fossil fueled travel, still have a fridge with an ice maker, and dare to use hair spray before work (UK Guardian) Recent articles in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten (translation available here) and in the Irish Times both ran headlines claiming that another grand solar minimum could potentially […]

Which they’re also saying didn’t really occur. The article starts out by mentioning several natural, saying they are “proposed” causes, such as decreased solar activity, volcanic activity, and a slow-down in the ocean conveyers, and then states that they were non-factors. So, it can only be caused by humans! (via Steven Goddard) (Skeptical Science) The […]
