It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

False Claims of the NCA



“Americans are noticing changes all around them. Summers are longer and hotter, and extended periods of unusual heat last longer than any living American has ever experienced. Winters are generally shorter and warmer. Rain comes in heavier downpours.”

Summers are longer and hotter - - which explains why the number of 100+ degree days are on the decrease.

Extended periods of unusual heat last longer than any living American has ever experienced - - but the 1930s dust bowl was the worst drought in recent memory and that was BEFORE CO2 began its meteoric rise in the atmosphere. Droughts have been of shorter duration and less severe since then.

Winters are generally shorter and warmer -- which explains why the number of State record lows have been on the increase since the 1950s. Check and verify.

Rain comes in heavier downpours -- which explains why the records for precipitation in the US were all set when CO2 was below the ‘safe’ level of 350 ppm. There is no trend in heavy precipitation events in the US.

If our contemporary CO2 laden atmosphere is so full of extra energy which is supposed to produce all manner of climate disruption then why do those records still stand?

Additional errors in the NCA report can be seen here.

Can Obama name a year in which the weather was substantially different from the present? When was it all fluffy white clouds and gentle summer rain? When was it to his liking?

How might we expect the climate to improve with whatever solution Obama has planned? Let’s have the numbers so we can track how well we are doing. What are the beginning benchmarks? Show your work. Don’t make promises without a way to check and see if those promises are being fulfilled!
