Your Global Warming...

...report for August 6th:

Normal=26 degrees Celsius.  Actual=16.8 degrees Celsius.

More Evidence Of Global Warming

Ever seen this before, a kangaroo feeding in the snow in Australia?

I tells ya, it makes animals do strange things.

Meanwhile, on the home front:

Normal temp for this day: 26 degrees Celsius. Today it reached 23 degrees Celsius.

Whoa

This is not supposed to happen:

Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches New Record Maximum

I'm sure that's a typo. They meant to say "minimum".

Yikes!!

Sun Headed Into Hibernation, Solar Studies Predict

"Three independent studies of the sun's insides, surface, and upper atmosphere all predict that the next solar cycle will be significantly delayed—if it happens at all. Normally, the next cycle would be expected to start roughly around 2020.

The combined data indicate that we may soon be headed into what's known as a grand minimum, a period of unusually low solar activity.

The predicted solar "sleep" is being compared to the last grand minimum on record, which occurred between 1645 and 1715.

Known as the Maunder Minimum, the roughly 70-year period coincided with the coldest spell of the Little Ice Age, when European canals regularly froze solid and Alpine glaciers encroached on mountain villages."

[---]

"...even if there is a climate link, Pesnell doesn't think another grand minimum is likely to trigger a cold snap.

"With what's happening in current times—we've added considerable amounts of carbon dioxide and methane and other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere," said Pesnell, who wasn't involved in the suite of new sun studies.

"I don't think you'd see the same cooling effects today if the sun went into another Maunder Minimum-type behavior.""

[---]

"Taken together, the three lines of evidence strongly hint that Solar Cycle 25 may be a bust..."

Whew!!


The Sun Is All But Spotless: Are We Headed For An Ice Age?

Well Duh!

New global study suggests that cooling, not warming, is the greater threat to humanity

 "A new study published in the British medical journal, The Lancet, concludes we’re 20 more times likely to die from cold than heat.
It says this has “important implications ... for predictions of future effect in climate-change scenarios.”
You think?
The researchers, including Canadian scientists, compiled data on more than 74 million deaths in 384 locations across 13 countries from 1985 to 2012, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, the U.K. and the U.S.
They found 7.71% of all deaths were due to “sub-optimal” hot and cold temperatures, but with cold responsible for the vast majority — 7.29% compared to 0.42% for heat.
The study also found most deaths don’t occur during extreme temperatures, but when they are slightly above or below normal, although again, 6.66% of all deaths were related to moderate cold compared to less than 1% for moderate heat."[--]" a warming world could mean fewer temperature-related deaths, not more.
All of this runs contrary to the constant barrage of hysterical propaganda from climate warm mongers.
That would include Al Gore, whose Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth incorrectly depicted global warming (aka climate change) as a never ending, planet-wide, relentless assault of rapidly rising temperatures, stronger hurricanes, deadly heat waves and unrelenting droughts happening everywhere at once.

Scaaaary!!!

Warning signs that Yellowstone may Erupt

"If the Yellowstone Super Volcano were to erupt, it would be 2,000 times bigger than the eruption of Mount St. Helens in the 1980’s. Everything within 500 miles would be dead or destroyed within minutes, 2/3rds of the entire United States would be covered in volcanic ash and the climate of the entire planet would cool within a month."

That's roughly 550 miles from where I live.

A New Word Has Been Coined!!

"Climatard"

"A person with no formal education or training in science who believes that carbon dioxide is a pollutant and that the world's climate is being disastrously altered by human emmissions of this vital gas which is essential to life. Favours drastic unreasonable measures, with no proof they will have any effect and will have any effect and which will cause real, immediate economic devastation for the poor and middle class. Flies into a rage if you don't agree with him."

I'm going to use it. It goes well with "Leftard".

The Scam Continues

Hottest year ever? Giant clam reveals Middle Ages were warmer than today

"While government science and media begin the ramp-up to claim 2014 as the “hottest year ever” China’s Sea’s biggest bivalve shows that the Middle Ages were warmer than today, when Carbon Dioxide was lower."(Emphasis added)

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

GLOBAL WARMING CULT BAFFLED AS ANTARCTIC ICE CONTINUES TO GROW

Why is Antarctic sea ice at record levels despite global warming?

"While Arctic sea ice continues to decline, Antarctic levels are confounding the world’s most trusted climate models with record highs for the third year running."

Global Warming Wreaks Havoc On Antarctic Research Stations

"And by wreaking havoc, I mean there’s so much sea ice around the continent that access to the research stations has been curtailed. In fact, one station had to be airlifted a year’s worth of supplies since ships could not break through the ice."

Cooler Weather...

...on its way:

"The sun is almost completely blank. The main driver of all weather and climate, the entity which occupies 99.86% of all of the mass in our solar system, the great ball of fire in the sky has gone quiet again during what is likely to be the weakest sunspot cycle in more than a century.

The sun's X-ray output has flatlined in recent days and NOAA forecasters estimate a scant 1% chance of strong flares in the next 24 hours. Not since cycle 14 peaked in February 1906 has there been a solar cycle with fewer sunspots. We are currently more than six years into Solar Cycle 24 and the current nearly blank sun may signal the end of the solar maximum phase."

[---]

"Finally, if history is a guide, it is safe to say that weak solar activity for a prolonged period of time can have a cooling impact on global temperatures in the troposphere which is the bottom-most layer of Earth’s atmosphere - and where we all live. There have been two notable historical periods with decades-long episodes of low solar activity. The first period is known as the “Maunder Minimum”, named after the solar astronomer Edward Maunder, and it lasted from around 1645 to 1715. The second one is referred to as the “Dalton Minimum”, named for the English meteorologist John Dalton, and it lasted from about 1790 to 1830. Both of these historical periods coincided with colder-than-normal global temperatures in an era now referred to by many scientists as the “Little Ice Age”. In addition, research studies in just the past couple of decades have found a complicated relationship between solar activity, cosmic rays, and clouds on Earth. This research suggests that in times of low solar activity where solar winds are typically weak; more cosmic rays reach the Earth’s atmosphere which, in turn, has been found to lead to an increase in certain types of clouds that can act to cool the Earth."

All I can say is, if CO2 really does warm the earth, we better start spewing it out as if there's no tomorrow.

It's Happened Before???

Scientists Solve Mystery of Collapse of Ancient Tibetan Civilization

"Scientists have solved the mystery of the collapse of an ancient civilization living on the fringes of the Tibetan Plateau around 2,000 BC, and it seems that climate change is to blame.

That's at least according to a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which details how cooling global temperatures at the end of the Holocene Climatic Optimum - a 4,000 year period of warm weather - would have made it impossible for these ancient people to cultivate millet, their primary food source."

And is was global cooling?????
