I believe that the recent warmth was probably matched about 1000 years ago. I do not believe that global mean annual temperatures have simply cooled progressively over thousands of years as Mike appears to and I contend that that there is strong evidence for major changes in climate over the Holocene (not Milankovich) that require explanation and that could represent part of the current or future background variability of our climate.

‘Frightening’ projection for Arctic melt

According To HadCRUT, January 1880 was the most anomalously warm month on record – from Chicago across the Ohio Valley. CO2 was 290 ppm at the time.

Is This Winter’s Warm Weather Caused by Global Warming?
This winter is one of the warmest on record – could that be because of global warming?

Is This Winter’s Warm Weather Caused by Global Warming?

Satellite temperatures from RSS and UAH both placed global temperatures this winter below normal. Below normal global temperatures are completely consistent with global warming and record warmth. If you have the IQ of a turnip.

Dust Storm Marks Beginning of Southwest’s “Permanent Drought” | The Energy Collective

Over the last forty years, sea level in Washington has risen about four inches – much of it due to subsidence. The Washington Post tells us that global warming induced sea level rise will drown Washington in the next eighteen years.

Sea level rise resulting from global warming will dramatically increase the risk of storm surge flooding in Washington, D.C. and along much of the U.S. coast, according to a new report from Climate Central, a non-profit science research and communication group. Its report, “Surging Seas” describes the risk of exceeding established flood levels by 2030, when taking projected sea level rise into account.

Sea level rise from global warming magnifies coastal flood risk

I used to laugh at the witch burning scene in The Holy Grail, until I realized that we live in a time when people are considerably stupider.

A Fort Collins teenager (Tim Masters) spent 10 years in jail for a murder he didn’t commit – based on the incorrect opinion of a leading forensics expert.

In 1997 Broderick contacted Dr. J. Reid Meloy, a forensic psychologist from California. Meloy analyzed Masters’ writings and artwork extensively and concluded, without having ever spoken with Masters, that some of the drawings represented Masters reliving the crime

Analysis by forensics experts is not proof of anything, and can be extremely misleading. Is there any reason to trust them more than climate experts?

Climate change still a reality despite soggy summer, warns report

March 15, 2012

”After a couple of years, the dams are full, everything is green around you, the soil moisture is topped up,” Professor Steffen said. ”And you say, ‘This is looking pretty good. What happened to all the droughts and dry periods that we thought were associated with climate change? That’s a very common perception you hear. But these things are superimposed on a longer, underlying trend.”

Climate change still a reality despite soggy summer, warns report

The long term trend is that there is no long term trend, other than government BS reaching unprecedented levels.

This drought may never break

January 4, 2008

IT MAY be time to stop describing south-eastern Australia as gripped by drought and insteadaccept the extreme dry as permanent, one of the nation’s most senior weather experts warned yesterday.

“Perhaps we should call it our new climate,” said the Bureau of Meteorology’s head of climate analysis, David Jones.
