Meteorologist Joe D’Aleo: ‘Huffington Post Alarmist story featuring Michael Mann and Climate Central full of errors and omissions’
D'Aleo: 'The melting in Arctic is to be expected & parallels the melting that took place the last time the Atlantic Multidecadal oscillation was in its warm mode. Also unlike what Mann says, NASA reported a long lasting, unusually strong arctic storm helped compact the ice. The last minimum in 2007 occurred when an unusual wind pattern forced ice to exit the arctic to the Atlantic'
D’Aleo: Greenland had a warm spell in June coinciding with near record summer blocking. But the melt was minor surface melt and very brief and entirely overplayed in the media. The entire ice sheet did not melt as portrayed but a thin layer of slush developed as surface daytime temperatures reached the middle 30s in July.
FACT CHECK: No rise in temperatures the last 15 years even as CO2 has risen 17%.
FACT CHECK: Sea level rises began leveling off the last half of the 19th century and have been flattening even more in recent years. And the promised changes at Tuvalu have been undetected for decades.
