An eminent climate scientist explains what caused the record rains in Texas
“With the lack of a positive trend in monthly springtime precipitation, there is no direct observational evidence that the record-setting May 2015 statewide rainfall total in Texas had an anthropogenic component.” From the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center. The mainstream news media have become more cautious in their coverage of extreme weather, unlike their previous uncritical reporting […]
Analysis: More nonsense from AP’s Seth Borenstein on floods allegedly worsened by ‘global warming’
http://www.latimes.com/business/realestate/sns-bc-us–houston-politics-of-flooding-20160518-story.html More nonsense from Seth Borenstein: With clay soil and tabletop-flat terrain, Houston has endured flooding for generations. Its 1,700 miles of man-made channels struggle to dispatch storm runoff to the Gulf of Mexico. Now the nation’s fourth-largest city is being overwhelmed with more frequent and more destructive floods. The latest calamity occurred […]
Climate Skeptics turn tables on ‘attribution’ studies – Ask: Is ‘global warming’ causing a decrease in ‘extreme weather’ events?
Washington DC — Despite the fact that the climate data clearly shows declining or no trends in many major indicators of “extreme weather” like tornadoes, hurricanes, rainfall, droughts and heatwaves, climate activists are once again seemingly trying to link every storm to “global warming.” Man-made global warming proponents are touting yet another study claiming to […]
AP’s Seth Borenstein giddy the ‘Pause’ has been erased by adjustments: ‘Are satellites now contradicting the climate doubter community?’
Chip, Seeing that the climate doubter community has hinged so much on RSS and saying there has been no warming post 1997 _ despite NOAA heat records in 1998, 2005, 2010, 2014 and 2015 _ you’ve seen the RSS update that shows there has been warming in the last 18 years. I’m wondering what your […]
AP: Satellite data ‘adjusted’ – Now shows no ‘pause’ in global warming
http://bigstory.ap.org/article/7a1d32e47f7146839c0bcce3128a998b/revamped-satellite-data-shows-no-pause-global-warming# WASHINGTON (AP) — Climate change doubters may have lost one of their key talking points: a particular satellite temperature dataset that had seemed to show no warming for the past 18 years. The Remote Sensing System temperature data, promoted by many who reject mainstream climate science and especially most recently by Sen. Ted Cruz, […]
Associated Press’ Seth Borenstein Links Zika outbreak to global warming – Al Gore Aproves

And then the virus replicates faster because it’s hotter, therefore the mosquitoes can transmit earlier in their life,” Reisen said. The thermodynamics of mosquitoes are “driven by temperature.”
MIT Climate Scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen on ‘hottest year’ claim: ‘Why lend credibility to this dishonesty?’
NASA and NOAA today proclaimed that 2015 was the ‘hottest year’ on record. See: Warmist Joe Romm: ‘We Just Lived In The Hottest Year On Record’ & Claim: ‘With 2015, Earth Has Back-to-Back Hottest Years Ever Recorded’ Meanwhile, satellite data shows an 18 plus year standstill in global temperatures. MIT climate scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen balked at claims of the ‘hottest […]
Flashback 1990: AP calls satellite temperatures ‘more accurate’ – But in 2016: AP ignores satellite’s showing 18 year plus ‘standstill’ in global temps
Flashback: 1990 NASA Report: ‘Satellite analysis of upper atmosphere is more accurate, & should be adopted as the standard way to monitor temp change.’ – April 1990 – The Canberra Times: ‘A report Issued by the U.S. space agency NASA…’ ‘The [NASA] report’s authors said that their satellite analysis of the upper atmosphere is more accurate, and […]
Climatologist: AP Guilty of ‘Yellow Journalism’ – Breaking News from AP: Seth Borenstein, Michael Mann & Andrew Dessler think climate skeptics are wrong!
Associated Press article rating presidential candidates – November 22, 2015 AP features Michael Mann smearing Ted Cruz: ‘This individual understands less about science (and climate change) than the average kindergartner. That sort of ignorance would be dangerous in a doorman, let alone a president.’ Climate Depot’s Marc Morano reacts to AP: ‘What would AP have found […]
