Looks like their carbon tax isn’t working.

Meanwhile, in the Northern Hemisphere where it is winter:  Record snow and cold across Canada

So, in terms of the heat trapping gas CO2 how do we account for this?

Can we say that CO2 is holding its Conference of the Molecules(CoM) in Australia this year? Even CO2 wants to be where it is warm? With a preponderance of CO2 in the air of Oz a heatwave resulted?

Since all the CO2 is ‘down under’ Canada and much of the rest of the Northern  hemisphere is left out in the cold?

Such explanations are silly. CO2 is everywhere but it doesn’t trap the heat of summer in the NH so record cold arrives instead and this coincides with the peak of a weak solar cycle 24 - weakest in over 100 years. This is not what is supposed to happen. Under the AGW meme our burning of fossil fuels is supposed to be producing warmer winters. Can we conclude that solar influences outrank CO2 as a determining factor in temperature?

Heatwaves during the Australian summer are not new. Newspaper articles uncovered by Steven Goddard  report on the plus 100 degree temperatures in 1906 when atmospheric CO2 concentration was about 100 ppm lower than it is now. High temperatures were also reached in 1896, 1897 and 1898. Australia’s hottest temperature occurred in 1889. Does that cause one to wonder what CO2 has to do with setting the temperature? High temperatures seem to be independent of CO2 concentration.

Hot there; cold here - heat distribution not so rare. There is nothing happening in the world right now that is outside the bounds of natural variability. We have seen it all before. Perhaps because the climate is cyclical and outside the control of humans? Our job is to learn to adapt so we invented air conditioning and heaters to mitigate the inevitable extremes.

Mother Nature is not supporting the expected scenarios of the AGW meme as described by the Global Climate Models. She is behaving more like an AGW denier. It does not matter what the consensus thinks because Mother Nature is thumbing her nose at them, she is elevating her middle digit in their direction, she is flipping them the bird.

Is it time to stop promoting snow in the winter, rain in the spring, heat in the summer and falling leaves in the autumn as examples of man made climate change?

I Don't Know

Volcano by Jimmy Buffett

Chorus

Now i don't know

I don't know

I don't know where i'm a gonna go

When the volcano blow

Perhaps this should be the theme song of politicians who listen to the climate scientists who don’t know.

Obama EPA chief Gina McCarthy unable to say if the world has gotten warmer    

McCarthy: 'I just look at what the climate scientists tell me.'  Ah, which ones, Gina? You pick wrong.

Even the scientists don’t know! Nothing like a baffled scientist to inspire confidence that they know what they are talking about.

BBC: ‘Sun gone to sleep’ – ‘Solar lulls’ coincide with bitterly cold winters – Scientists ‘baffled’

Arnie doesn’t know.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: People Listen to Actors Over Scientists on Global Warming    

Sure, Arnie. We love to take the advice of people like one-sheet Sheryl Crow and ‘outdoor pooping is awesome’ Drew Barrymore.

Actors aren’t getting through because:

Yale Poll: Climate Change Disbelief Rises in America

Where Arnie gonna go when the false CAGW volcano blow?

Now POTUS don’t know...

Senator Inhofe says Obama ‘just made up’ claim that ‘the climate is warming faster than anybody anticipated five or ten years ago’

Why the temperature rise go slow...

So who do know? Maybe the Telegraph know.

What if man-made climate change is all in the mind?’

Oops! The CAGW volcano done blow cause Nature now know!

The Northern Mocking Word

Early December 2013

As the Northern Hemisphere shivers under a pre-winter cold spell provided by our CO2 laden supercharged overheated polar air mass on steroids descending from the Arctic the polar mocking word: cold,  seems to be an apt symbol to represent the finger that Mother Nature is elevating toward the blind proponents of the mythical theory of human induced global warming(AGW). To speak about global warming amid freezing temperatures is to impugn the reputation of CO2 as a heat trapping gas and to ignore Mother Nature’s message that she controls temperature.

As CO2 has continued to rise unabated in the atmosphere due to our burning of fossil fuels to keep us warm temperatures in the 21st century have slipped into negative rise. This is a direct disconnect between fact and theory. When this happens and we hate it when it does science says: modify or abandon the theory. Something else is driving the vehicle.

Supporters of AGW have received some more bad news from satellite measurements of sea level rise. SLR has shown no acceleration over the last two decades. There is even evidence of a deceleration in the rise. This should put to rest the fear over melting polar regions flooding coastal cities.

The pre-winter of 2013 is mocking the theory of AGW with record cold and snow in the Northern Hemisphere. The august IPCC used to think their theory predicted warming winters which actually makes sense if it were true but after several Northern Hemisphere winters of extraordinary cold and snow with December 2012 culminating in a record snow extent the IPCC is now claiming that the excess heat is causing the excess snow. In a warming world we should be getting less snow and more rain, n’est-ce pas? The AGW proponents are mocking their own theory or changing it on the fly to ‘save’ it. Nothing like moving the goalposts to frustrate the other team.

These two stories add fuel to the AGW death spiral.

Heaviest Israel snow in December since 1953 — that’s 60-years ago

‘It’s snowed in Cairo for the first time in 112 years’

The Arctic air mass is invading countries known for their deserts, like Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. It is sucking the heat out of the air and sending it where? Does our atmosphere vent? Can’t CO2 stop the exodus of heat?

In the pre-winter of 2013 the Northern Mocking Word is pooping on AGW theory and overcoming the heat trapping superpowers of CO2 with ease. Does CO2 only trap heat in the summer?

Mother Nature fooled climate scientists once back in the 1970s when people were told that a new ice age was coming because the temperatures were cooling. The world then began to warm and climate scientists jumped on the warming bandwagon. This time they found something to blame it all on - us. And Mother Nature has switched gears again demonstrating the validity of those scientists who realized that she is in control and that her patterns are cyclical driven by the harmonic interplay of several natural cycles including solar, oceanic and astronomical.

Meanwhile the southern polar region of Antarctica is demonstrating the growing hold that cold is having on the world. Its sea ice extent is setting records and its ice sheet is growing. The heat trapping abilities of CO2 are being overcome by the natural cyclical processes of Mother Nature despite our power plants and SUVs.

The theory of CO2 induced global warming is supposed to produce more drought just like the global cooling of the 1970s. The summer burn season of 2013 has seen the charred acreage run way below the ten year mean. The expectations, predictions and hopes of the global warming crowd have been dashed on the rocks of reality.

How does the heat of summer escape if CO2 is trapping it? Doesn’t heat rise? Think hot air balloon. Perhaps the Earth is just a side trip for the sun’s energy on its way into outer space. And we should be thankful for that.

Settled Science?

Settled Science? Don’t know, just asking. There are lots of conflicting scientific opinions. Makes it confusing for the layperson.

Who decides if not Mother Nature?

If she is not sending MAJOR(cat 3,4,5) hurricanes our way to make landfall in the US for 8 years then she is not sending MAJOR hurricanes our way and the weather/climate can NOT be said to be getting more extreme, can it?. Why isn’t it that simple? (a similar exercise could be done for other extreme weather types)

Here is the dataset bought and paid for by the US taxpayer.

Chronological List of All Hurricanes

http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/All_U.S._Hurricanes.html

Should we be afraid of that data or embrace it?

We have been told that:

The energy of 400,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs per day is how much energy imbalance the earth is absorbing because of global warming. This imbalance was explained by Dr. James Hansen, one of the world's foremost climate scientists at the TED Conference in Long Beach, California

We are told that we are ‘supercharging’ our atmosphere and putting it ‘on steroids’.

And yet despite this vast energy imbalance now the worst year for hurricanes making landfall in the US was 1886. You have the dataset. Check it out. Two of them were MAJORS. We all agree that it was colder then and that there was less than 300 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere at that time. Does it ever make you wonder what the atmosphere was ‘on’ back in the day when that record occurred? And why wasn’t that record broken during the ‘hottest decade ever’ with the highest level of CO2 concentration seen in x thousand years? Could it be that CO2 is not as powerful a driver of climate as we have been led to believe?

A similar exercise could be done for other examples of extreme weather/climate.

The IPCC says, in their AR5 SPM, that they are 95% (a change from 90% in AR4 2007) certain that humans are at fault for contemporary global warming/climate change even as they reduce the lower bound of their estimated range for climate sensitivity (CS) to 1.5C from the 2.0C they used in their AR4 2007 report while leaving the upper bound stuck at 4C. That means the range has widened in AR5 which means that they are less certain of the results they present in AR5. Can we all share a chuckle at how less certain has become more certain? And why did they do that? If they didn’t say they were 95% certain they would almost certainly (95%?) be signing their own pink slips. Imagine if they actually said what they meant or meant what they said and informed the world that they are less certain of their results now than they were in 2007. After billions and billions were spent on their climate models. The IPCC is the new magic act on the world stage. Now you see less certain and now you don’t. Voila! Apparently 1984 has arrived at the IPCC. Less certain is more certain. They actually mean to say that they are more certain they are less certain. Clear?

Here is a list of some recent research into climate sensitivity some of which occurred after the AR5 cutoff date. The 1.5C mentioned above may turn out to be too high according to reality. Do we have to wait another 6 years for the IPCC to revise their estimates downward again?

C3: NOAA Research: IPCC's Predicted Climate Sensitivity To CO2 Significantly Exaggerated

Climate sensitivity low, alarmist sensitivity high | Watts Up With That?

The AGW Hypothesis Proven False Per Latest Data: Climate Sensitivity To CO2 Emissions Likely Very Low

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper finds climate sensitivity to CO2 is about 63% less than IPCC claims

- Bishop Hill blog - Another paper finds that climate sensitivity is low

Game Over : Climate Sensitivity – Zero | Real Science

New research implies climate is less sensitive to CO2 and sulfate aerosols

- Bishop Hill blog - Chalk up another for low climate sensitivity

And what of the climate models? They operate on algorithms that produce warming as CO2 increases. Only problem is someone forgot to inform Mother Nature about the algorithm and she slipped them a curve which the models failed to anticipate and they fell off the catwalk. Billions and billions for models that don’t work. Can we all share a wince or a Bart Simpson Doh! over that one?

Has the starring role accorded to CO2 in the climate drama been miscast such that CO2 would be better placed in a bit part or perhaps not be included in the cast at all?

What to do? Disband the IPCC and stop all the unnecessary efforts to reduce human CO2 emissions. It was all based on a false theory.

We owe CO2 an apology.

The Debate is Over

The debate is over! There's no longer any debate in the scientific community about this.

So said Al Gore while expressing his opinion on anthropogenic global warming (AGW) around 2006

And because it is over Al won’t debate. The refusal to debate is evidence of a weak case.

If your case is strong you would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate that in front of the largest audience possible so that people can see the strength of your argument against the weakness of your opponent’s objections.

The avoidance of debate is pursued to deny your opponents a forum in which to show the weakness of your case. You want to keep their objections away from the public because you know your case is weak.

But, Al, you are correct. The debate is over.
