NASA / NOAA Climate Data Is Fake Data

NOAA shows the Earth red hot in December, with record heat in central Africa.

NOAA Reported

The map above is fake. NOAA has almost no temperature data from Africa, and none from central Africa. They simply made up the record temperatures.

Satellites show that NOAA’s” record hot regions in Africa were actually close to normal.

Gavin Schmidt at NASA claims the imaginary NOAA data has been replicated by many other institutions.

NOAA: Trump team may emphasize climate science uncertainty — Friday, February 3, 2017 —

However, when Gavin is confronted about his obviously bogus temperature graphs, he defends by saying “it is not my data, I get it from NOAA.” In fact, all of the supposedly independent agencies get the lion’s share of their data from NOAA.


NASA and NOAA are engaged in the biggest fraud in science history, and this needs to end now that criminals are no longer in control of our government. Under the Trump administration, government employees stand to make huge amounts of money by whistleblowing fraud. Contact Kent Clizbe for details.

    Hi Tony: Any idea how many whistle blowers are contacting Kent Clizbe?


    • tonyheller says:

      Kent said that quite a few people have contacted him in response to my article.

            Similarities to Jim Jones and the Cult of Climate Change –

            1. Climate doomsayers believe they possess truths about the past, present and future and their truths cannot be disputed by anyone.

            2. Doomsayers refuse to debate their belief. They call their dogma “settled science” and attack any critics that dare to whisper in the dark.

            3. Just like a cult, doomsayers has a formal doctrine-setting body. The reports by the “ruling” body are thought to be the main source of authority and the texts of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are quoted as unholy scripture.,

            4. Liberal doomsayers make you believe in their falsehoods. Bruce Jenner is now a woman. Rachel Dolezal is black. Elizabeth Warren is native American. The integrity of these people is just mind boggling. I remember when Obama told us, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.” And he said it with a straight face! Well, guess what Obama? My health plan isn’t the one I used to pay $225/month for. I’m paying $500 for second rate coverage. My car insurance is still $25/month (from Insurance Panda) and my renters insurance is still $10/month, thank god. So don’t you dare be messing those up too, Obama! The left lives in la-la land.

            4. Staying with the Jonestown analogy, the climate change alarmists have created mythologies intentionally built on lies and half-truths. The fallacy can be ascribed as an appeal to everyday experiences, giving the listener some sense of truth-based teaching to mix with the soup of confusion.

            Just as Jones and his small leadership group built lies on a foundation of lies and misinformation, the “sky-is-falling-crowd” spreads hoaxes to support their form of theology.

      • Erin says:

        Hey pal, actual NASA employee here. Not high ranking, not paid off, just letting you know that this whole analysis is…misguided. You realize the two differing graphs have different data sources, right? The “missing” Africa data is from the second dataset. It’s literally… written on the picture. Also, NASA at the very least has whistleblower protections for this exact thing. Anyone is encouraged to report flaws they see in data. We are non-partisan, just extracting data from satellites. Please don’t spread “news” for findings you clearly haven’t done your homework on yet.

        • tonyheller says:

          Utter nonsense. How do you get land data temperatures without land data?
          In case you missed it, one of NCDC’s two principal scientists just blew the whistle last week.

          • Tim says:

            You raise an important question, Tony. Fortunately, this is something the scientists who created the dataset took into account when they made it.

            The jist of it is that since scientists can’t stick a thermometer every single place on the planet, they rely on samples from inhabited areas, then do statistics on the data using models that are generated by actual observations based on the relatively stable geographic configuration of remote locations.

            Put another way, you don’t have to measure every part of the Sahara Desert to understand that there will be relatively little temperature variation across the whole thing, because it is very flat, and full of sand.

            Any significant local variations in surface temperature are detectable in real time using satellite photographs, since clouds form inside low pressure (colder) areas.

            A great deal of care is taken in deciding where and how to measure surface temperature and how gaps in the data alter the conclusions and their confidence intervals.

            It really is quite fascinating, and I invite you to learn more about these methods before dismissing them out of hand.


            The relevant section is reproduced below:

            “Why use temperature anomalies (departure from average) and not absolute temperature measurements?

            Absolute estimates of global average surface temperature are difficult to compile for several reasons. Some regions have few temperature measurement stations (e.g., the Sahara Desert) and interpolation must be made over large, data-sparse regions. In mountainous areas, most observations come from the inhabited valleys, so the effect of elevation on a region’s average temperature must be considered as well. For example, a summer month over an area may be cooler than average, both at a mountain top and in a nearby valley, but the absolute temperatures will be quite different at the two locations. The use of anomalies in this case will show that temperatures for both locations were below average.

            Using reference values computed on smaller [more local] scales over the same time period establishes a baseline from which anomalies are calculated. This effectively normalizes the data so they can be compared and combined to more accurately represent temperature patterns with respect to what is normal for different places within a region.

            For these reasons, large-area summaries incorporate anomalies, not the temperature itself. Anomalies more accurately describe climate variability over larger areas than absolute temperatures do, and they give a frame of reference that allows more meaningful comparisons between locations and more accurate calculations of temperature trends.”

          • spike55 says:

            “they rely on samples from inhabited areas, ——-
            that there will be relatively little temperature variation across the whole thing,”

            If you use temperatures from inhabited areas,…

            … and smear them across huge tracts of uninhabited areas you are doing FAKE SCIENCE.. Period.

            But that is NOAA/NASA/GISS for you in a nutshell. FAKE SCIENCE.

            We thank you for pointing that out.

        • pmc47025 says:

          Hey Erin, if I understand this correctly…

          The NOAA Thermometer Data map contains colored blocks representing “GHCN-M bias corrected data”. “bias corrected” means it’s already been through a layer of fudge.

          The NOAA Reported Percentile map is based on GHCN-M, ERSST, ICOADS, and a computer statistical model (! see link below).

          The “record warmest” part of south central Africa appears to have no supporting GHCN-M data and isn’t adjacent to sea or ocean (ERSST, ICOADS) – it’s completely fabricated by a statistical model. The “record warmest” declaration is a result of comparing computer modeled projections to other computer modeled projections, no actual records!

          In the OP, your (?) satellite data are used to refute the NOAA percentile map.

          • Damian says:

        • Have you ever done the calculations of how much space seven .5 billion people take up on the earth using a 1 x 2 x 6′ space for every human on the earth it would take up less than .7 of 8 mi.³ I keep it mild could actually hold to 12,220,000,000 people that’s one cubic mile Nother thousand 900 not 20 not even to one cubic Mile

            I first saw that from Burt Rutan, that if you compressed all human biomass into a cube, you could set it down on the mall in DC, and walk around it in under an hour. I did the calculation myself, and got a slightly larger number, but you could still walk around it in under an hour. The point being that humans are not at all as significant a presence as watermelon greenies claim.

          Only warming coming from El Nino ocean event, hence NOT CO2

          Land data.. NOPE..

They must be especially suspicious of the worker bees in the cubicles who have nothing to loose and much to win but I’m sure the guilty perpetrators are mainly watching each other. They have the most to gain from becoming whistleblowers and negotiating immunity or just a slap on the wrist.

    • Donald Kasper says:

      It is not fake. It is an artifact of the smoothing and fill-in algorithm. But it is so bad, perhaps it is not based on data at all, but is a model computation based on latitude and distance from the ocean under prevailing wind direction, nothing more. If it is a mix of real data and modeled output, we should be told.

      • Michael Walker says:

        You say it’s not fake. But that’s inconsequential. You can’t define something by saying what it’s not. Where there is no global climate data available, NOAA/NASA at a minimum chose to extrapolate climate data over vast geographic distances while claiming, or at least implying, their modeling algorithms were just as reliable as the real observed/on-site data collected. The real issue, with respect to the climate analytics put out by NOAA/NASA, is the characterization of the information. Is there transparency (which I will give you credit for pointing out) from our governmental science agencies and a truthful admission of what the data really represents? Discussion of this issue should be at the core of the climate debate.

        • Trent says:

          If scientists deal with governments to get their agenda done, some lobbyist WILL bribe one or many of the people in congress, and most certainly the president. There’s nothing more reassuring than, as president, say “I can say for certain that man made global warming is the biggest threat to the world today. The science is settled.” That actually makes me want to give in a science lesson. AGW jerkoffs like Shia Lebourf or whatever his name and Dicaprio chant with Obama, white man bad, make global warming, pay billions to ‘fix the problem’ we save you from yourselves, you know, the typical liberal drivel, and that is just how it is in the federal government.

      • Brian says:

        You don’t fit a model to fake made up manipulated data. You fit a model to real measured data (which should always be the measured value + uncertainty). A sufficient model can deal with bad measured data. In order to test your model you can withhold a subset of the data, sample the model at those data points and compared the model fit data to the measured data.

        All of the above concepts and many more are very basic and common sense ways that scientists actually work with real measured data.

        • joe says:

          You’ve never heard of GIGO, obviously. If you use computers in any of your models, then GIGO exists. But these models that you speak so highly of do not use real-world data, but rather the worst-case scenarios. And then they are used to mislead, rather than inform as to a worst-case scenario possibility. I leave you with one question, if mankind was to disappear from the earth, right now, and all of his carbon emissions should immediately cease, how much would it affect total CO2 output on a yearly basis? Percentage-wise.

          • DeGasse Smelleur says:

            It really depends upon your meaning of “disappear”. If mankind were to be suddenly buried under earth, mankind would “disappear” and not at all unlike dinosaurs which have already “disappeared.” Definitely, this “disappearance” of mankind would create a new pool of hydrocarbons, now, wouldn’t it. And, by the way, how are you going to “miraculously” immediately cease the production of subsequent gas or “farts”, if you will, from occurring.

            And, if all of mankind is gone, who is going to measure the CO2 output on a yearly basis? Percentage-wise or OTHERWISE.

        Donald Kasper,

        You have, probably inadvertently, described the concept of the mainstream media news product. In most news items we can discern a smothering of actual facts, for example someone’s name, a place and a date, provided they didn’t get them wrong. The rest is an artifact of careful craftsmanship, framing, omissions and editing with the goal of making the modeled “progressive” future palatable and desirable.

        And it is not fake. It’s how they do it and it is very real. It would be nice if they told us but that would defeat the purpose, would it not?

      They were compelled to accept Stalin’s convincing argument that the whole world would be BETTER RED THAN DEAD if they joined together to use Weizsacker’s flawed definition of “nuclear binding energy” to prevent anyone else from building another atomic bomb (just as it prevented Dr. Carl von Weizsacker from successfully building an atomic bomb for Hitler during WWII).

        Until a unique physiological difference between the brains of women and men is determined, then you can not distinguish this situation from any other delusional mental illness. However, if you can find such physical significant variation between genders, you will be opening up a Pandora’s box. Such a difference will be used by others to justify unequal representation of women and men in employment and pay. I would even expect some to use it to justify treating women as being subservient to men.

        There are some 100 trillion cells in an average person, each encoded with that person’s gender. You can not change that coding, regardless of what atrocities you perform on the body. If the brain believes differently, then it is clearly a mental defect. Perhaps the focus should be in altering the brain to agree with the body.

So before we judge, maybe we should give it a little thought that there might just be some circumstances out there that we just don’t fully understand yet.

    I don’t understand this and have a few questions. How do you know that there are no thermometers in the places where NOAA says heat has increased?

      Thanks for the question, moo. Sometimes what NOAA does is mysterious and sometimes skeptics need to back model in order to figure out what NOAA or GISS are doing. However, NOAA does provide us with quite a bit of information. NOAA does tell us what thermometers they use. Just because they do not use a thermometer does not mean that one does not exist. Skeptics often are able to go get the readings of missing thermometers. An increasing percentage of the time, NOAA does not actually get numbers from a thermometer, but rather they guesstimate what those thermometers might have said based on thermometers tens of kilometers — sometimes hundreds of kilometers, try 1600 km — away. We often find that thermometers not read are in rural areas and thermometers used to estimate their readings are in UHI-contaminated areas.

      I am also a little unclear as to precisely where the measurements are made, and hence which areas have no station data and are therefore entirely infill.

      I attach a map showing the siting of temperature stations. This map is a little unclear since it seeks to show how the number of stations has changed over the years. At one time I had a better chart/map.

      But as you can see from the map, although Africa is sparsely sampled, particularly Northern Africa, there are many stations in the more Southern parts of Africa. It appears to me that there are some stations near to where it is claimed that there is no station data. See:

      That said, I am concerned by the extent of infilling that appears to go on.

  15. Orogeny says:

    I’m curious. You folks who think AGW theory is all a conspiracy. How could such a conspiracy be set up? How would it be possible to get scientists all over the world…totally disconnected from each other, working in widely separated laboratories, in very different disciplines…all on one page with the “falsified” data?

    Is there a central hub of the conspiracy that sends out orders to all the climate scientists around the globe? What has prevented even ONE scientist from coming forward with any evidence of this conspiracy? Do the ringleaders of this plot somehow know in advance which scientists will be open to participating in the conspiracy?

    Is there a central research center where huge amounts of data are fabricated in order to supply material for the thousands of research projects and the tens of thousands of papers and articles supporting AGW theory that have been published over the last few decades?

    Is there a world authority that can tell all of the major scientific organizations around the globe that they have to endorse AGW as fact? Remember, these organizations don’t get grant money. So, how are they all somehow convinced to participate in this campaign of lies? Hell, the Geologic Society of America’s membership probably consists mostly of people in the energy industry, and even they have come out with a statement clearly endorsing the idea that the planet is warming and humans are the main cause. Why would they do that?

    Have the millions of peripheral people…that scientists who review the papers, the editors and publishers of the papers, the science writers and other media people who write about the research, and, the smart people, the folks who read the papers and decide that they make sense…have ALL these people somehow been bought off or persuaded to join the conspiracy?

    What force has been used to cause government leaders around the world, many of whom are complete enemies, to agree to set aside their differences in this case in order to advance the conspiracy?

    Remember…the whole conspiracy falls apart unless each and every one of the things I’ve listed happens just as described…in absolutely perfect secrecy.

        Your paragraph one. 36000 scientists signed the Oregon petion, with hundreds of skeptical papers referenced.

        The two most cited consensus papers are junk. The do not address the C in CAGW. They make statements that most skeptics agree with. They have been heavily criticised o, peer review.

        Each paragraph below that of your writing is deeply flawed, making your conclusion nonsense.

        • Orogeny says:

          Perhaps you could point out the per-reviewed work contradicting AGW theory that that rag-tag group of engineers, weather readers, and long retired-professor have published? Or even point out how many of those are actually doing any kind of research in the area of climate science?

        • Orogeny says:

          The “Oregon Petition” was a fraud.

          The petition and the documents included were all made to look like official papers from the prestigious National Academy of Science. They weren’t, and this attempt to mislead has been well-documented.

          The included research paper was also made to mimic the style of the National Academy’s prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy journal.

          With the signature of a former NAS president, and a research paper that appeared to be published in one of the most prestigious science journals in the world, many scientists were duped into signing a petition based on a false impression. In fact, the documents had been authored by Art Robinson, Sallie Baliunas, Willie Soon (both who receive funding from the oil industry) and Robinson’s son Zachary.

          The petition was so misleading that the National Academy issued a news release stating that: “The petition project was a deliberate attempt to mislead scientists and to rally them in an attempt to undermine support for the Kyoto Protocol. The petition was not based on a review of the science of global climate change, nor were its signers experts in the field of climate science.”

            The Oregon Petion was not fradulant in the least. The scientists that signed it are not revoking their signatures at all.

            In fact it list hundreds of peer review reports in support of the contention that CO2 is a beneficial gas, and the warming has been and will be net beneficial.

            Observations well support this. Currently every crop on the planet grows 15 to 20 percent more food, on the same amount of land and water due to the increase in CO2. There is ZERO increase in the rate of SL rise, droughts, hurricanes, floods tornadoes.

            The insane economically damaging policy of CAGW politicians, such as the Parris accord, will, according to IPCC calculations, have virtually ZERO affect on warming regardless.

            Peer Pressure, Noble Cause Corruption, Confirmation bias, and Goverment Billions in agenda driven science for the purpose of global government and personal power, all combine to easily explain what you try to marginalize by referencing your distorted view of some grand conspiracy.

            Orogeny, misleads with bullcrap since at NO TIME did the petition claims it was supported or endorsed by the NAS.

            Quoting your dishonest crap”


            There was NO evidence that it was endorsed or supported by the NAS. There was NO NAS heading to the paper either.Plus you are a freaking LIAR anyway since the paper was published in a NON NAS publication:

            Quoting the OREGON Petition website,

            “Why was the review article published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons?

            The authors chose to submit this article for peer-review and publication by the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons because that journal was willing to waive its copyright and permit extensive reproduction and distribution of the article by the Petition Project.”

            You go on with more lies:


            You claim many were “DUPED” into signing an easy to understand,read paper on a NAS free website using a NAS free science journal.

            I personally know some of the people who signed it,they made it clear they know what they were reading. You insult some of the most celebrated scientists of the 20th century such as Edward Teller and Freeman Dyson.

            You are scum!

            Not only that he lies about “oil” funding,which has been shown to be lies many times in many websites.

            Finally Orogeny, fails to understand WHY the NAS made that statement,quoting you:


            YOU like the NAS, attempt to insult the intelligence of the signers,who can read,see and think the obvious about the petition itself. The NAS was firmly in the AGW camp,which is why they tried to make smearing statements they have done.

            15 years ago,when I first investigated the claim that the Petition Project was using a page similar to the NAS page,I looked at it to see NO evidence that it came from the NAS, was NOT supported or endorsed either and didn’t have the NAS heading anywhere on it either.

            Here is what the Petition statement actually reads,at this link:

            Instructions for Signing Petition


            Meanwhile the NAS was full of crap when the made this stupid statement:

            Check out the Qualifications of Signers section of the website. Orogeny make it clear he NEVER read this section, as it exposes the Crap the NAS made when they said this:


            Qualifications of Signers

            ” Signatories are approved for inclusion in the Petition Project list if they have obtained formal educational degrees at the level of Bachelor of Science or higher in appropriate scientific fields. The petition has been circulated only in the United States.

            The current list of petition signers includes 9,029 PhD; 7,157 MS; 2,586 MD and DVM; and 12,715 BS or equivalent academic degrees. Most of the MD and DVM signers also have underlying degrees in basic science.

            All of the listed signers have formal educations in fields of specialization that suitably qualify them to evaluate the research data related to the petition statement. Many of the signers currently work in climatological, meteorological, atmospheric, environmental, geophysical, astronomical, and biological fields directly involved in the climate change controversy.

            The Petition Project classifies petition signers on the basis of their formal academic training, as summarized below. Scientists often pursue specialized fields of endeavor that are different from their formal education, but their underlying training can be applied to any scientific field in which they become interested.

            Outlined below are the numbers of Petition Project signatories, subdivided by educational specialties. These have been combined, as indicated, into seven categories.”

            The link shows a lot more:

It’s all used for money and controlling populations through taxing (money) for so-called “carbon footprints”. But people are like sheep (don’t believe me? Look at the fashion industry. Sheep.)

        Actually, the earth has historically (over milliins of years) changed regularly ftom temperate (what we have now) to ice age and back againbin cycles… ours has been one of the longest temperate windows between ice ages in the earth’s history… seeing as ice ages are cyclical, it can reasonably be expected that what follows, is in fact another ice age… it is possible that this warming is only temporary and actually precursor of the process that follows… volcanic, seismic and tsunami events are dramatically on the rise… it could be said that pumping exhaust from cars, oil spills, methane farting humans and domestic food animals (both numbering in the billions), massive reduction of rain and other great forests (the lungs of the atmosphere along with the oceans, large scale extinction of various eco systems (which are in the way of progress), and nuclear blasts of the 20th century, ciuld possibly, just maybe, have some negative impact on the conditions of life here on earth… whether these things are causing the warming the earth is currently undergoing (which is only just starting to alter the seasons too – causing the drought that blew up syria for example ), is open to debate. If anyone could be certain that the current increase will continue at pace, absolutely certain – then basically, we are all fucked… but they can’t be certain because it has never before happened in recorded history…. meanwhile, scientists (who tend to extrapolate and freak out, only to be embarrassed later) have noticed it, freaked out, reported it, and now are undervpressure to find the source and nullify it… i guess it was considered most beneficial to link it to human activity, as that could pressure governments to legislate things that really would benefit the planet and potentially even save our skins… problem is, doing things the harmful way is so much cheaper than doing things the beneficisl way, and business men obviously dont need to be saddled with even more overheads – they get fucked enough already – so they gotvtogether their own studies, found the flaws in such studies and immediately cried foul… and who vould blame them? People start businesses to forge a better lifecfor themselves and their loved ones – and we are All sick of lefties preaching at us (they haven’t shut up or listened to anyone but themselves since 1959)… so here we stand… in this stupid mess because a bunch of scientists were pressured to say they were 100% sure, when they Should have said ‘maybe’… and yes, the pressure is from grant givers of many different kinds – truth is, ALOT of science is a MAYBE, and their failure to publicly admit that is what has made people stop trusting them… silly stupid pride filled and foolish – it cost them their most important asset – the trust of the masses….

    • dsp444 says:

      Hi Orogeny,

      I don’t think conspiracy is the right word. More like “momentum”…and “too big to fail”. Once a few scientists realize that they could get paid and make a healthy living to do this research, it has slowly grown and snowballed. And you really have to follow the money trail. All the new journals that have popped up, the editors, and staffs working for the journals, all the journalists and science writers (and reviewers are the same group of people from whom the research comes from in the first place) — they aren’t on the periphery. These are all people who lose their jobs and livelihoods if “global warming” is not true. It is not easy to find a job as a science writer in some field where you have no expertise.

      And while in most cases data is not flat out fabricated, when researching a subject is your life, there is too much pressure for it to be true. Negative results are rarely published in any scientific discipline. You have to publish something, so you publish the best you can. Its an intense, competitive field…I don’t doubt the honesty of the actual researchers, but the system is setup to result in a lot of “momentum” in one direction.

      Governments are a different story…clearly the global warming story has been supported by the left-learning governments of the world because it fits their economic goal of global redistribution of wealth. There are multiple ways to address the carbon emissions. It just so happens that the left-learning parts of the EU and USA have piggy-backed onto the science to implement economic policy. And if the USA is willing to hand some of its wealth over to smaller nations (or China) because we feel bad about carbon emissions, who is going to say “No thanks” to that? You could also argue that if the global warming story is absolutely true, then a better way to handle it is to enforce strict law preventing emission of CO2 immediately – stop emitting or go to jail. But that’s not really the popular govt action because it doesn’t fit their ideology as well.

      Its just such a huge business now that there is no going back.

      You can pick any hot science field and its a similar story…no matter how good the intentions, the system is set up for propagation of the “story”. Just think about cancer for example…if somebody came up with the miracle pill today that killed all cancer cells (not going to happen)…but just consider…how many trillions of dollars and millions of jobs would disappear from the economy?

      • AndyG55 says:

        It would be interesting to find out just how much money has going into perpetuating the AGW farce, both over the table and UNDER the table.

        Those who have bent over for it have been richly rewarded.

        And we know from people like that Christiana Figueres witch, exactly what the agenda is all about.

She said very casually:

      • Robertv says:

        “redistribution of wealth ” ?

        So to who exactly got the wealth redistributed to ?

      • GW says:

        It’s not “Momentum” or “too big to fail.” It’s defined as “Noble Cause, Corruption “. They’re engaged in it because they “believe” they are saving the environment by achieving the ultimate CAGW goal, which is CO2 taxation, which will lead to lowered use, rationing at the worst, and subsidized “green energy.” And they are handsomely rewarded by governments via their “research grants” which will pay their salaries and “research-related expenses” for their entire careers.
        It’s very simple really !

        Meanwhile, the scientists’ enablers – the political elite and their political enablers – the billionaire campaign funders – get billions upon billions more from the bulk of the proceeds from the CO2 taxes collected.
        Again, it’s all really very, very simple.

        And the original concepts have their roots back in the 1960’s. It evolved into global warming in the 1980’s and came to fruition in 1993 when Al Gore, Clinton’s VP, saw to it that all government scientific research grants had to have not only a global warming component but had to demonstrate global warming was occurring and caused by increasing CO2 levels. Otherwise your funding was cutoff and you were ostracized.

        Dr.’s William Gray, the father of modern hurricane research, and Roy Spencer, co-developer of satellite temperature measurements, have testified so. Many others have too.

        To the “useful idiots” it’s about the environment

        To the money and power brokers, it’s about money and power.

        It’s really, very, very simple.

      Easy, Orogeny. It is not an “organized conspiracy”, any more than student liberalism is an organized conspiracy. AGW is a function of liberalism, which is taught in our colleges and universities by inbred professors. Their students then become brainwashed and go on to be professors without ever experiencing life outside of academia. Inbred! True science studies evidence which results in a conclusion.

      • Anto says:

        Correct. It’s a function of the move in recent decades to grant-based funding models for science. The model mitigates against the null hypothesis.

        Consider: I obtain a grant to investigate whether X is a concern for mankind. In one example, I find that it’s not really a worry at all and any effect is likely to be small. So, where do I get my next grant?

        In another example, I find that X is potentially a major threat to mankind’s continued existence and I need a further, larger grant to develop a better computer model, using more expensive hardware and a larger team of researchers.

        It doesn’t require a “conspiracy” in the traditional sense of the word – merely a sufficient number of people who’s self-interest trumps their questionable personal ethics.

        Consider also: if I developed and sold a computer model which I said could predict, with a high degree of certainty, where the Dow Jones would be in 2, 5, 10, 50 years from now and started selling it to Joe Public, would you believe me? How long would it be before I was rooming with Billy the Basher in the Big House?

There are just as many decent scientists who don’t agree that the earth is warming by man mad causes. Climate change is a whole other issue. Any idiot can see the climate is changing. The question is, can man do any thing about it and the answer is no.

      All had lived through the chaos of the 1930s — when turning inwards led to economic depression, nationalism and war. All, including the defeated powers, agreed that the road to peace lay with building a new international order — and an approach to international relations that questioned the Westphalian, sacrosanct principle of sovereignty… (wwwDOT)”

      Lamy is quite blunt in stating national sovereignty is passe.



      This is what CAGW — Global warming is really all about. We have all seen the political message morph from Global Warming to Climate Change to Weather Weirding.
      As H.L. Mencken said:

      In other words create a crisis to order to implement Diocletian’s Problem-Reaction-Solution

      Mencken also warns “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.”

      The Club of Rome put this concept in another form:
      “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill….All these dangers are caused by human intervention….and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself….
      humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the purpose.”

      Noel Brown is the former Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, North American Office. He was an organizer of the Stockholm Conference for the Environment in 1972 where Maurice Strong got the ball rolling. Maurice Strong like Noel Brown was a member of the Club of Rome. Strong is also a Rockefeller Foundation trustee and senior adviser to the World Bank. Both of whom have been involved in CAGW.

      …It is instructive to read Strong’s 1972 Stockholm speech and compare it with the issues of Earth Summit 1992. Strong warned urgently about global warming, the devastation of forests, the loss of biodiversity, polluted oceans, the population time bomb. Then as now, he invited to the conference the brand-new environmental NGOs [non-governmental organizations]: he gave them money to come; they were invited to raise hell at home. After Stockholm, environment issues became part of the administrative framework in Canada, the U.S., Britain, and Europe.

      Interview with Tim Wirth who organized the 1988 Senate hearing at which James Hansen addressed global warming. Wirth led the U.S. negotiating team at the Kyoto Summit. He is now president of the United Nations Foundation. These are his words about how he scammed Congress:

      …Believe it or not, we called the Weather Bureau and found out what historically was the hottest day of the summer…

      …. Dukakis was trying to get an edge on various things and was looking for spokespeople, and two or three of us became sort of the flacks out on the stump for Dukakis, making the separation between what Democratic policy and Republican policy ought to be. So it played into the presidential campaign in the summer of ’88 as well….

      So a number of things came together…

      … What we did it was went in the night before and opened all the windows, I will admit, right? So that the air conditioning wasn�t working inside the room and so when the, when the hearing occurred there was not only bliss, which is television cameras in double figures, but it was really hot. …

      So Hansen’s giving this testimony, you’ve got these television cameras back there heating up the room, and the air conditioning in the room didn’t appear to work. So it was sort of a perfect collection of events that happened that day, with the wonderful Jim Hansen, who was wiping his brow at the witness table and giving this remarkable testimony. …

      This is the SAME Tim Wirth that said: “We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.” from his Dossier

      USA UN Framework Convention on Climate Change — signed 12/06/92
      here’s their official definition:


      That’s from the official UN Framework Convention on Climate Change

      The IPCC mandate is similar:

      The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to assess the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for the understanding of human induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for mitigation and adaptation.

      So it never was about understanding the climate. It was really about ‘options for mitigation and adaptation. ‘ and this is the change wanted by the Globalists like the UN, the World Bank, and the WTO.

      The IPCC’s ROLE


      So there it is again. ONLY “human-induced climate change” is of interest and that is why you see very little work done on natural climate change.

      Worse it is the custom and practice of the IPCC for all of its Reports to be amended to agree with the political summaries. The facts are as follows.

      The Summary for Policymakers (SPM) is agreed “line by line” by politicians and/or representatives of politicians, and it is then published. After that the so-called ‘scientific’ Reports are amended to agree with the SPM. This became IPCC custom and practice of the IPCC when prior to its Second Report the then IPCC Chairman, John Houghton, decreed,

      “We can rely on the Authors to ensure the Report agrees with the Summary.”

      This was done and has been the normal IPCC procedure since then.

      So, IPCC custom and practice dictate that the AR5 report will be edited to match the SPM. This custom and practice enabled the infamous ‘Chapter 8′ scandal so perhaps it should – at long last – be changed.

      Such adjustment of Reports to agree with the SPM is stated in Appendix A of the AR5. It says

      4.6 Reports Approved and Adopted by the Panel
      Reports approved and adopted by the Panel will be the Synthesis Report of the Assessment Reports and other Reports as decided by the Panel whereby Section 4.4 applies mutatis mutandis.

      This is completely in accord with the official purpose of the IPCC.

      The IPCC does NOT exist to summarize climate science and it does not.

      The IPCC is only permitted to say AGW is a significant problem because they are tasked to accept that there is a “risk of human-induced climate change” which requires “options for adaptation and mitigation” that can be selected as political polices and the IPCC is tasked to provide those “options”.

      This is clearly stated in the “Principles” which govern the work of the IPCC. These are stated at

      HIDDEN AWAY, SO NO ONE SEES, THEY TELL THE TRUTH. They have no friggin idea of what the climate is going to do.

      The IPCC admits the models aren’t worth spit.

      …in climate research and modeling we should recognise that we are dealing with a complex non linear chaotic signature and therefore that long-term prediction of future climatic states is not possible

      The IPCC itself tells us why the models will never be predictive beyond a very short time span.

      The IPCC said in the Science Report in TAR:

      …Projections of future climate change are not like weather forecasts. It is not possible to make deterministic, definitive predictions of how climate will evolve over the next century and beyond as it is with short-term weather forecasts. It is not even possible to make projections of the frequency of occurrence of all possible outcomes in the way that it might be possible with a calibrated probabilistic medium-range weather forecast. Projections of climate change are uncertain, firstly because they are primarily dependent on scenarios of future anthropogenic and natural forcings that are uncertain, secondly because of incomplete understanding and imprecise models of the climate system and finally because of the existence of internal climate variability. The term climate projection tacitly implies these uncertainties and dependencies…

      IPCC 2001 section page 774

      Note the word PROJECTION. The IPCC switch from ‘prediction’ to ‘projection’ because they KNEW they can not predict climate. Therefore ‘95% certain’ especially in light of the failure of the model ensemble is a real laugh.

      The IPCC itself, has seen the light ,thrown up its hands, and given up on calculating a meaningful climate sensitivity to CO2 – the AR5 SPM says ( hidden away in a footnote)

      There is no fraud and conspiracy in — or even reasonable objections — to AGW. Where the objections emerge is in CAGW. Even in CAGW, I hesitate to use fraud and conspiracy. Yes, there has been conspiracy to prevent publication of skeptical papers, and, yes, much of the deception in the National Climate Assessment borders on fraud. However, probably even more in play are other phenomena such as confirmation bias, group think, tribalism, guilt, and political activism. Many scientific organization have not put their Global Warming position to vote, and they certainly have not allowed participation of skeptics in the discussion on the wording. While I do believe that the vote on almost all scientific organizations would be YES for AGW, I do not know what it would be if the choice was between AGW and CAGW. Certainly, skeptics have not been allowed to participate in the wording of the policy statements.

      This discussion could — and probably should — go on far longer than feasible in one post. I will try to come back to see if you wish to continue the discussion.

      The same way it is in chemistry, physics, materials science, medicine. A few senior scientists are influential peer reviewers for grants and publications.

Instead, climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth.”
      Or, as U.N. climate chief Christina Figueres pointedly remarked, the true aim of the U.N.’s 2014 Paris climate conference was “to change the [capitalist] economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution.”

Answer: the academia who obtain grants to “study” the phenomenon and the governments, that gain power by controlling and regulating the energy and pollution industries.
    2.) The falsification and manipulation of temperature data is well, well documented. The biggest tragedy to me is that it makes an honest, open, intelligent and fact-based discussion of this topic virtually impossible. There are several separate but equally important questions that should be addressed: 1) Is the earth experiencing temperature and weather variations that are outside of the normal variations it has experienced in the (distant) past? Global weather conditions have, and will continue to exhibit significant variation. 2.) If the answer to 1. is “yes”, are these variations due to man’s activities? 3.) If the answer to 2. is “yes”, can we control and reduce the activities and are the approaches being discussed the only and best ones? 4.) If there is a problem, and if reducing and cleaning up the use of fossil fuels is the best or only option…how on earth is it reasonable or possible to allow 3rd world countries to operate with little or no regulations while imposing costly regulations on developed countries WITHOUT putting the developed countries at a serious economic disadvantage?

I found the following quote and cut/pasted it a while back, and it pretty much explains what all these bogus claims are about.

    from IBD: “If they were honest, the climate alarmists would admit that they are not working feverishly to hold down global temperatures — they would acknowledge that they are instead consumed with the goal of holding down capitalism and establishing a global welfare state.

    Have doubts? Then listen to the words of former United Nations climate official Ottmar Edenhofer:

    “One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole,” said Edenhofer, who co-chaired the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group on Mitigation of Climate Change from 2008 to 2015.

    “We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy,” said Edenhofer.

    For those who want to believe that maybe Edenhofer just misspoke and doesn’t really mean that, consider that a little more than five years ago he also said that “the next world climate summit in Cancun is actually an economy summit during which the distribution of the world’s resources will be negotiated.”

    Mad as they are, Edenhofer’s comments are nevertheless consistent with other alarmists who have spilled the movement’s dirty secret. Last year, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, made a similar statement.

    “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said in anticipation of last year’s Paris climate summit.


    The plan is to allow Third World countries to emit as much carbon dioxide as they wish — because, as Edenhofer said, “in order to get rich one has to burn coal, oil or gas” — while at the same time restricting emissions in advanced nations. This will, of course, choke economic growth in developed nations, but they deserve that fate as they “have basically expropriated the atmosphere of the world community,” he said. The fanaticism runs so deep that one professor has even suggested that we need to plunge ourselves into a depression to fight global warming.”

    How do you define SCIENCE … ????

    SCIENCE should be our LEAST CONTROVERSIAL body of knowledge, because SCIENCE tests each Hypothesis against reality via the SCIENTIFIC METHOD (designed, repeatable experiments). 


    SCIENCE is a body of knowledge that has been established by means of, and only by means of, the SCIENTIFIC METHOD (ie, designed, repeatable experiments).

    Unfortunately, today we have many dishonest SCIENTISTS who are using a fraudulent definition of SCIENCE that replaces the Scientific Method with a CONSENSUS. Here’s their fraudulent definition of SCIENCE:

    SCIENCE is a body of knowledge that has been established by means of a CONSENSUS (ie: politics, egotism, greed, etc).

    For example, these dishonest Scientists tell us that (1) Man-Caused Global Warming and (2) the Normalcy of Homosexuality and (3) Darwinian Macro-Evolution, have been established as SCIENCE by means of a “CONSENSUS among experts.”

      For most of its history, the earth has been somewhat warmer than the present temperature and we do appear to be, on the grand scale, on the temperature upturn since the last major ice age. On that long scale, the descent into ice ages and the recovery is fairly steep and ice ages are relatively short compared to periods at a higher temperature. On these time scales, “normal” is a meaningless term and while “ideal” is very subjective, warmer seems to have favored life more than colder – which just might not be “our” life.

    The only real measure of the trend in global temperature with any accuracy are the tidal gauges.

      Accuracy of the tidal gauges also sucks due to land subsidence due to fill, draining of swamp… For example New Orleans is sinking because water logged soil has been drained.

      Mid to late Holocene sea-level reconstruction of Southeast Vietnam using beachrock and beach-ridge deposits

      ….backshore deposits along the tectonically stable south-eastern Vietnamese coast document Holocene sea level changes…..reconstructed for the last 8000 years….The rates of sea-level rise decreased sharply after the rapid early Holocene rise and stabilized at a rate of 4.5 mm/year between 8.0 and 6.9 ka. Southeast Vietnam beachrocks reveal that the mid-Holocene sea-level highstand slightly above + 1.4 m was reached between 6.7 and 5.0 ka, with a peak value close to + 1.5 m around 6.0 ka….

      Translation the sea level was up to 1.5 meters higher than today in a tectonically stable area ~5000 years ago to 2000 years ago. Tectonically stable area refers to areas devoid of deformation such as all processes which modify the external form of the crust. For example unidirectional vertical movements, plate tectonics and also the rise and fall of the solid earth surface, especially in coastal areas.

      Sea-level highstand recorded in Holocene shoreline deposits on Oahu, Hawaii

      Unconsolidated carbonate sands and cobbles on Kapapa Island, windward Oahu, are 1.4-2.8 (+ or – 0.25) m above present mean sea level (msl)…we interpret the deposit to be a fossil beach or shoreline representing a highstand of relative sea level during middle to late Holocene time. Calibrated radiocarbon dates of coral and mollusc samples, and a consideration of the effect of wave energy setup, indicate that paleo-msl was at least 1.6 (+ or – 0.45) m above present msl prior to 3889-3665 cal. yr B.P, possibly as early as 5532-5294 cal. yr B.P., and lasted until at least 2239-1940 cal. yr B.P

      This study shows a sea level highstand ~1.6 meter above the present level from ~5500 years ago to 2000 years ago.

We regard this approach as valid because the southern Gulf coastline lacks evidence for significant widespread neotectonic uplift,…….

        The Australian plate is the fastest continental plate on the planet, moving northwards and slightly to the east by about 2.7 inches (7cm) each year.

        Australia experiencing that sinking feeling

        …”Australia is generally a stable continent with plate boundaries at its distant edges, however it has an unusual sea level history compared with the rest of the world,” says Earthbyte Group Coordinator Professor Dietmar Müller.

        “That research also revealed that as the Australian continent drifted north from Antarctica during the past 50 million years, it subsided by up to 300 metres and tilted to the north.”…

        “Sea floor spreading on the South East Indian Ridge moved the Australian continent rapidly away from Antarctica and towards the subduction zones of South East Asia where oceanic plates, or slabs, sink back into the mantle.”

        These subduction zones are known as ‘slab graveyards’.

        “As the northern edge of Australia rode over the slab burial grounds, the relatively dense, dark rocks making up oceanic plates were pulled into the subduction zone, while the lighter quartz-based continental rocks floated over the top.

        “This caused the northern edge of Australia to tilt 200 metres and for shallow seas to form as the coast gradually flooded.”

        But the model didn’t explain why the entire continent subsided by at least a further 100 metres….

        Given the speed at which Australia is still travelling north, I would expect it is still subsiding on the southern side.

        Sydney is also sitting on a river delta.

    • Ornley Gumfudgen says:

      When we went to the moon and I was given the task to analyze the photos I mentioned that I felt some of them were fake. The fiducial marks etched into the lens of the camera should appear on film as if they are on top of the photographed subject as they are between the subject and the film. But on many of the photos the fiducial marks appeared behind the subject. How can this be? So those photos were removed with the question’s about them unanswered.
      Then there was the lighting on the surface of the moon. Little to know shadow would mean that the sun was overhead with the Earth not visible because you would be looking at the night side of the Earth. But there in the photographs were no shadows from the subject and the limb of the Earth was fully illuminated. Now how can that be? So those photos were sequestered away from public view. Then there were photos that showed shadows in different directions. Now can that be with the sun as the source of the light? So, those photos were removed from public view. I am also wondering that since high altitude commercial flight on an SST was subject to maximum exposure to radiation levels which meant that flight crews could only work a specific number of those flights before being permanently removed from those flights as the radiation exposure was considered to be cumulative. But our astronauts were exposed to such high levels of radiation for weeks, and in the case of the ISS, protected by no more of a shield that was the skin of the spacecraft thinner than a dime and made from aluminum. Someone is not exactly telling us the full story are they? Could it be because much of what they tell us is fabricated for the effect of garnering more money? Sorry but my highly technical mind has questions that no one seems to have valid answers for except to sequester the information away so that no one else can ask the questions. Sort of reminds me of the discovery of the Heidelberg man and the non-existent brontosaurus. It’s also akin to the claim by scientists where the science has been settled that it takes thousands of years for ole Terrible Hurburst to decay into crude oil yet two Washington State post graduates are making their fortunes by producing crude oil from algae in a couple of hours in their factory in Oregon. So, what’s up with that little inconvenient lie Al Gore?

Interpolation is the process of fillng in missing data, based on known data, and knowledge of how the system being measured works. How weather works is VERY well known. Furthermore, there are many places in world where temperature data is known. As a result, the missing temperature data can easily be calculated. It is NOT simply made up by a bunch of people sitting around and telling lies. These are the results of very complicated math formulas that are obviously well beyond your ability to understand.

      You really don’t have to show those forecasts because I have them for you from NOAA .

      As you can see NOAA didn’t even come close to predicting the extent or magnitude of the weather that has busted the California drought. Just as they didn’t come close to predicting the weather that busted the drought in Texas previously.

    • D. Gregory says:

      It seems to me that interpolation is only a valid method when the total parameters of the macro set are known and therefore, by inference, we can fill in the blanks in some situations.

      For example, code breaking can work this way. Let’s say we know that the opposition has transmitted a list of three generals who might be chosen to lead the next battle. If we know all 50 enemy generals and we decode a few letters, then by pattern matching and inference, we can construct viable guesses with such precision that the name “G_n_ral Fr_d Jon_s” becomes obvious. In fact, ordinary people do this same task on Wheel of Fortune all day long.

      However, if we do not have any temperature measuring stations in a given location, then that is akin to trying solve for “General Fred Jones” using an alphabet with no letter “e” in it.

      In other words, you can’t rationally interpolate into a new set from an old set which completely lacks all aspects of the elements your new set needs to be valid.

      Only after you actually have a significant number of accurate temperature readings from all grid-wide locations over a long period of time, can you then *occasionally* paint a picture without reading the local number in all the locations.

      Systems inevitably diverge sand weather is a highly variable, shifting global system. Thus, the system of measurement you use must closely match what is actually happening locally, not what you speculative impute into your guess as to what might or should be happening.

      In other words, weather (and temperature) is measured with statistics and forecasted with probability. You however, seem to be advocated that we build our forecasting models on pseudo-statistics which were generated with probability models.

      And frankly, if you can see the flaw in your reasoning, then you should be a public pension actuary for the state of Illinois. Because they, like you, don’t seem to know how to handle the most basic math principle of all: GIGO.

      For certain you don’t understand them.
      So lets dissect your BS here.
      While our weather, not whether, is something we can see we still don’t know all that much about it. If we did we’d be able to predict weather more than two to three days out, which they still can’t do.
      If you don’t measure the temperature how do you know what the temperature is? Still trying to get my mind around that one. So let’s talk about your “very accurate interpolation algorithms.” Accurate? Well as far as how their program, your algorithm, performs, it’s accurate in that if you use the same data over and over again you will get the same results. But that is not the accuracy we are talking about here, we are talking about the accuracy of what they are telling us will happen to the future and offering a reason why they think it will happen. In the technical world, it’s called dry labbing your data. You call it interpolation, which is actually a way of manufacturing date but does not tell you that data is correct or not. It all depends on who wrote the program and the number of data points entered into it to give the results. And when you know how to manufacture those numbers you can easily have your program, your algorithm, give you the results that you desire. You say the missing temperature data can be easily be calculated but is the results of very complicated math formulas that are beyond the understanding of others. Easy but impossible to understand. Do you see the oxymoron in your statement? And you expect people to look at your comment with any amount of credibility? No sir, it’s your personal agenda an politics that’s showing here. What you, NOAA and NASA have forgotten is how to employ the scientific principal necessary to generate facts and not suppositions.

  62. Robert Terry says:

    Who cares if it is record hot? The real question is do we contribute to the weather? Not at all. If we had only one job as humanity with all our efforts we could not change the temperature. Since 1850 mankind has put 100 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere. Nature puts in 200 billion tons every year. One third of one percent.

  63. tonym says:

    I’m suspicious of any “scientific” claims about climate prediction and about anticipated outcomes. How does one model a chaotic gyre — like that of our atmosphere?? Simply making a conflated analogy between a certain parameter, say CO2, and the global temperature absent other considerations is faulty at best…and disingenuous at worst.

    The climate “scientists” are pure and simple trying to predict the future. These erstwhile Nostradamuses would better spend their time cogitating lottery winning schemes or breaking the houses in Vegas as they would “modeling” our atmosphere. I honestly see this in the same league as a Ponzi scheme or some other scheme to defraud suckers. Because absent real time mitigating circumstances (changes in solar output, major volcanic eruptions, etc.) the climate “predictions” are about as accurate as those from a phone-in psychic.

    When you add to all this the gross manipulation of current and historic temperature (as shown in this article) for whatever purpose, any claims of accuracy or predictions of trends become suspicious, fraudulent and nefarious in nature.

      really John.. you have shown that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

      NOAA doesn’t use the satellites for the surface data, the use surface station which in reality cover a small fraction of the surface , even though they pretend a single thermometer can cover some 25o km² or whatever.

      They then smear that surface data everywhere with a red pen, fabricating and adjusting large amounts of the data in a pretence to get a surface temperature that trend upwards.

      The satellite are used by RSS and UAH.. so lets compare shall we…

      Here are trends this century for GISS (fabricated from sparse surface data see the map, grey means NO DATA) and RSS and UAH the two satellite data sets.

      • Ornley Gumfudgen says:

        Good response but way to technical for most people. Having worked on satellites and ground equipment for decades I totally agree with you. For one, satellite sensors still today do not have the repeatability nor the precision for them to make the statements they issue to the public. For that matter neither do the earth bound measurement stations that do not get the maintenance they need and have other local climate factors that make their readings inaccurate and unusable. The station in Redding CA is an excellent one. When it was installed in the middle 50’s it was literally out in the middle of no where. Today, and it has not moved, it sits behind the tarmac where the jet aircraft warm up their engines before take off and is subject directly to the jet exhaust. But they still use it to predict weather. There are many others that have this problem but few people ever question it. Incidentally, it’s not fun to work on that station when you are in the way of a jet’s exhaust. Noisy and hot. Then there is the faulty wind data collected but they factor that out too.

    • Ornley Gumfudgen says:

      Do you understand how incorrect your statement is? FYI, I worked on and calibrated those satellite sensors and they are incapable of doing the things that NOAA has claimed they can do. So, where is your technical background that enables you to make your comment? Oh, right, you read it all in some paper didn’t you? Try actually working with the hardware instead of looking at their manufactured data.

  73. Kelvin says:

        Which gives them plenty of excuses to toss data that does not fit their preconceived notions.


        From my own experience in that time frame I can tell you the “new” infra-red (IR) absorbing instrumental method SUCKED ROCKS big time. We gave up on it because we could not get it to reproduce results.

        But that’s OK the ClimAstrologists had a solution. They draw the curve first and toss the results that do not fit.

        4. In keeping with the requirement that CO2 in background air should be steady, we apply a general “outlier rejection” step, in which we fit a curve to the preliminary daily means for each day calculated from the hours surviving step 1 and 2, and not including times with upslope winds. All hourly averages that are further than two standard deviations, calculated for every day, away from the fitted curve (“outliers”) are rejected. This step is iterated until no more rejections occur.

        “Statement of Prof. Zbigniew Jaworowski
        Chairman, Scientific Council of Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection
        Warsaw, Poland

        “….The problem with Siple data (and with other shallow cores) is that the CO2 concentration found in pre-industrial ice from a depth of 68 meters (i.e. above the depth of clathrate formation) was “too high”. This ice was deposited in 1890 AD, and the CO2 concentration was 328 ppmv, not about 290 ppmv, as needed by man-made warming hypothesis…….”


        HMMMmmmm 328ppm CO2 for the year 1890.
        I cross checked that against the detailed scientific examination of historic CO2 measurements by Ernst Beck and it is within his margin of error. (wwwDOT)

        I then went to Beck’s site:

        1883 – 266 sample with an average of 335 ppm
        What is really really interesting is Barrow 1947-1948 data at 420 ppm! (average of 330 samples) It is noted that the Keeling samples (1972 to 2004) are transported from Barrow Alaska to California before they are analysed. (wwwDOT)

        Although the climastrologists have re-written science to say plants could live in an atmosphere of only 180 ppm to match their revised ice core data, link earlier work, now gone from the internet, had a lower limit of 200 – 220 ppm
        (Note they ‘prove’ this by taking mature plants and placing them at 180 ppm for a short time. They do not look at the whole plant life cycle including producing seed and seed sprouting.)

        A more realistic lower limit can be deduced from this field study of wheat (C3).

        “The CO2 concentration at 2 m above the crop was found to be fairly constant during the daylight hours on single days or from day-to-day throughout the growing season ranging from about 310 to 320 p.p.m. Nocturnal values were more variable and were between 10 and 200 p.p.m. higher than the daytime values.” (wwwDOT)

        The extreme lower limit of 200 ppm can also be found in green house studies:

        CO2 depletion
        Plant photosynthetic activity can reduce the CO2 within the plant canopy to between 200 and 250 ppm… I observed a 50 ppm drop in within a tomato plant canopy just a few minutes after direct sunlight at dawn entered a green house (Harper et al 1979) … photosynthesis can be halted when CO2 concentration aproaches 200 ppm… (Morgan 2003) Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and does not easily mix into the greenhouse atmosphere by diffusion… Source

        Most people never bother to look at the CO2 lies so they get away with them.

        This BTW is the CORRECT way to display data.

One of the other carpoolers was at that same hardware store on the same weekend buying paint to paint his house. He ask the PhD to check his savings, because the paint in the 5 gallon buckets was 30% less. On Tuesday the PhD reported that he screwed up big time. This was not the only time we all had a good laugh on the PhD. I have many more of these stories where his great mind never got used.

    • Ornley Gumfudgen says:

      As a retired engineer in the high tech fields of space technologies coupled with weather related technologies I had my fill of the PhDs that though they were God’s gift to humanity. You would think that one they went past their Bachelor’s degree they would be pretty smart people. But with their education came a gross loss of common sense. As a result many of these people couldn’t pour urine out of a boot without help.
      I like to work on cars. One day the PhD I was unfortunate to be assigned to came into my office and asked me to look at his new pickup. He couldn’t get it started. So, wanting to help I went out to the truck, hopped behind the wheel and started it right up on the first attempt.
      He was flabbergasted so after I got out of the truck, he got in and couldn’t start it. He was furious. Asked me what I did to get the truck started. I calmly replied, “I pushed in the clutch idiot.” By that time about 20 people had shown up to watch the fun and all of them started in with fits of laughter. For a couple of weeks I pestered him with “How’s your truck running today.” He then went to my boss and asked for another engineer to work with which I was more than happy to leave. That engineer lasted for two days and said, “I can’t work with that smug idiot any longer. Move me somewhere else or fire me but I am not going to work with him any longer. After a couple of other engineers had the same problem they finally got rid of the PhD and that made everyone happy.

  78. D. Gregory says:

    So then, here’s what NOAA did to create a forged starting point:

    1. They presumed that the world is rising in temperature.
    2. They gathered temperature statistics from a limited number of locations.
    3. They backfilled the holes in their data set with **BOGUS** numbers along a scale which preserves the presumption of #1.

    Sounds like super good science: Let’s extrapolate a smoothed presumption across highly variable grid of potential input points. And while we are at it, we’ll ignore the very real fact that weather patterns are significantly irregular – and that those patterns massively affect local temperatures.

    In other words, even though it’s a fundamental fact of the earth that there are regular and frequent massive changes in local patterns of weather and temperature; we are going to ignore that basic fact and instead, simply invent numbers to fill in the holes of our collection grid – regardless of what actually is true on the ground in those locations.

  79. Jtom says:

    This seems basic to me. They are infilling areas of no data based on data from surrounding areas massaged with an adjustment that the area is warmer or colder based on historical records or geographical consideration (change in elevation, flora, bodies of water, etc.).

    They just need to tell us why/how these areas were adjusted. Just don’t hold your breath for an answer.

    This is why science is not performed in secrecy.

    • RAH says:

      Oh there is real science performed in secrecy but it is usually performance based and associated with engineering of a high degree. Examples would be the many advanced aircraft and missile designs that have been developed in secret programs.

      That being said there is no viable reason that virtually everything having to so with climate and weather produced by NOAA, NWS, AND publically funded projects at universities should not be available for review by any tax payer. We paid for it, it’s ours, not theirs.

  80. Mark Hammett says:

    Reasons why Global Warming is Hogwash

    1. CO2 is heavier than the main components of air. Look at the Elemental chart. The lightest is hydrogen, then helium etc. Carbon dioxide is a compound and has much more weight. It therefore sinks in the atmosphere and does not float up to the stratosphere.

    2. But we hear the term about “Green House Gases”. Yes it is true, CO2 is used as a Green House Gas atmosphere enhancement. Plants must have CO2 to survive. Long ago and to this day CO2 is pumped into green houses to help plants grow larger and faster for our consumption of their byproduct, fruits and vegetables. Look it up on the internet.

    3. Because of that fact, you do not find trees growing at high altitudes. Trees need CO2 to survive. Known as the Tree-line, it is the same all over the world 8000 feet or so. It is not because of the cold weather at those levels because up in the artic you still have tundra grass and fungus that grow under the snow fields.

    4. The atmosphere is made up of 78% Nitrogen, 19.1% Oxygen and .9% Argon. The remaining percentage is made of Water Vapor, CO2, CO, Methane, and other hydrocarbons. CO2 represents .06% of the atmosphere, roughly 6 parts per million. Take 1 million marbles, paint 6 of them red for CO2 and lay them out. It would be hard to even find the 6 CO2 marbles. There is not enough to make a difference. And plants are taking all they can get because they have to have CO2 to survive and convert it back to oxygen for us to survive.

    5. If you heat up that block of Atmosphere of 1 million marbles, the nitrogen oxygen and argon molecules will absorb more heat than the CO2 marbles. Nitrogen is used as an atmosphere in metallurgical heat treat furnaces in industries all over the world to keep out any damaging oxygen molecules.

    6. So what if you take CO2 molecules and only have them in a 1’x1’x’1’ cube, what would the temperature be? The higher concentration would actually decrease in temperature until you have 100% in the cube. The temperature would be -109F. We call it Dry Ice and it is used to freeze foods.

    7. Why are they pushing to tax CO2 emissions? It is a global method to raise taxes for other ruling parties to use funds and control people and business. CO2 is a byproduct of all engines. That goes for ships, trains, cars, power plants, you name it. Control what can be allowed and what tax must be paid and you can control people and industries. Al Gore developed tax credits yet he doesn’t cut back his CO2 footprint one bit and he doesn’t pay his tax credits to himself. But he wants you too.

    8. CO2 is so heavy that it sinks to the earth and is absorbed in our ground. CO2 is actually found deep in the earth and is pumped up and piped to other oil wells to add pressure to get the Natural gas to the surface.

    9. Some international companies actually are getting paid to capture and sequester the CO2 emissions from plants and other sources. They pump CO2 into salt domes and old natural gas wells all across America.

    10. CO2 comes from the earth and the central core. Under the earth’s mantle lies molten lava constantly spinning keeping the earth in rotation. Occasionally, Volcanoes go over a hot spot or a thin spot in the mantle and we get a volcano. It spews ash and CO2 into the atmosphere. Both come back down to earth through rain, hail and just their plain weight. The CO2 is an off-gas emission of the earth’s internal combustion.

    11. There are caves in Mexico that have giant crystals growing inside. CO2 is a major component for that to happen. Men cannot go down there without having oxygen respirators to breathe.

    12. Scientists at the universities will claim to believe in the Global Warming so that they get grants to study side bar issues with the environment. Plan a trip to Antarctica to see the penguins and how they are coping.

    13. Some old official sites of temperature readings were in fact out at Airports where there is masses of concrete, which does reflect and retain heat. Temperatures have been falling and rising with and without man’s industrialization. It ties closely in with the Sun’s storm pattern which we are still determining.

    So now you know. Accept the fact that the masses can be fooled if they don’t do their own homework.

A product of globalist thought funded by willing governments and supported by a fraudulent “science” establishment. Nations of free, prosperous people are an impediment to globalists because they are not easily controlled. So, thru taxation and regulation to fight “climate change” individuals and corporations are punished economically.
    AGW and CAGW are invented problems to justify more regulations and economic measures– read taxes. Huge sums of money pour into “climate science” where little or no scientific methods are ever employed. Politicians begin to support the issue; the “save the earth” syndrome kicks in.
    Scientific arguments opposing the climate change religion aren’t effective because science has been largely corrupted. The funding must be cut off immediately, regulations and laws must be rolled back—stop feeding the monster!! That’s a start.

  84. anonymitty says:

    One of the posts critical of climate science asked for “one paper” demonstrating CO2 warming in a convective atmosphere.

    Convection is pretty nearly irrelevant.

    The plain fact is that the earth is considerably warmer than the moon. This, though the moon is far less reflective than the earth. How can this be? Both receive the same sunlight! Oh, you say, it’s the atmosphere. But why does the atmosphere make a difference? It is not as if heat is carried away to space by convection or conduction. The earth itself, atmosphere included, is perfectly insulated against heat loss due to either of those.

    Aha! Radiative cooling is how the earth, and the moon, return to space the energy got from sunlight. And so what? Because if the atmosphere were transparent in the IR, the temperature at the surface would govern the radiative energy loss and the moon and the earth would have the same average temperature.

    So now it’s a question of physics. What is it, in the atmosphere, that tends to interfere with transmission of IR energy from the ground to space? And the answer is twofold: water vapor, and CO2. And when we run the numbers, we find that water vapor is something like 3/4 of the cause, and CO2, the other 1/4. Now if you increase CO2 by 40%, on the face of things you’d expect an increased overall effect. Again, the numbers have been run. The executive summary is that extra CO2 figures to make things warmer.

    And now let’s go to the earth and look. Glaciers are generally in retreat. Arctic sea ice is hitting new record lows at a regular clip. The previously fabulous Northwest Passage is now open for navigation from time to time. All over the world, where temperature records are kept, new record highs are being logged more often than new record lows.
    All this is something new. 80 years ago, new record highs and new record lows were about equally common. Some glaciers were advancing, some retreating; no particular pattern evident there. No Northwest Passage, and people were able to hike by sled to the North Pole, no boats needed dry shoes all the way. Nowadays, that would be an impossible stunt. So kvetching about conkvetchion is beside the point.

        Anon has a point!
        The underlying global warming hypothesis the models support has always been based on the mistaken Idea that IR-EMR exit flux originates at Earth’s surface. The S-B equation now can be used to show that the minimum radiometric temperature of whatever is ‘radiating’ must be at least 255 K, but the surface has a higher thermometric temperature. The atmosphere is measured to have temperatures bracketing that minimum, thus demonstrating that exit flux originates somewhere in the atmosphere. Never from the surface. Can we all go back to sleep and put this scam behind us?

      80 years ago it was the 1930’s also known as the “Dirty Thirties” which lead to the Dust Bowl, during that time most of the high temperature records were set and most of those have NEVER been broken since.

    • Gail Combs says:

      It IS convection STUPID!

      Paraphrasing Dr. Brown, physist @ Duke University:
      “When CO2 near the earth’s surface absorbs back radiation, the lifetime of the excited state caused by the absorption of the photon is much longer than the mean free time between molecular collisions between the CO_2 molecule and other molecules in the surrounding gas. That means that the radiative energy absorbed by the molecule is almost never resonantly re-emitted, it is transferred to the surrounding gas, warming not just the CO_2 but the oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, argon as well as the other CO_2 molecules around.”

      In other words near the surface back radiation, aka a ‘resonantly re-emitted’ photon is a RARE EVENT.

      Dr Happer in his lecture for physics grad students at NCU agreed and further stated that the time to radiate is about ten times slower than the time to the next collision in the troposphere.

      That means the IR energy from the earth is absorbed by CO2 and PASSED to other molecules via collision. Then VIA CONVECTION (hot air rises) the energy is transported up.

      Dr Happer in his lecture also answered my question about where CO2 energy is radiated instead of being passed to other molecules via collision.

      Experimental data shows barely any radiation at 11 KM and that radiating is in the stratosphere ~ 47 KM above the surface.

      The take away from his UNC lecture (9/2014) was the CO2 ‘modeling’ is a mish-mash of theoretical equations and experimentally derived data. Where the Climate alarmists missed the boat is in using equations for ‘line broadening’ aka the ‘wings’ where the additional CO2 absorption ( at 400 ppm) is supposedly taking place. These equations produce results that do not match up to the experimental data. The lines are not as broad as theory would have it. This means you take the exponential curve Tony showed at his old website CO2 Greenhouse Effect Is Very Small and squash it even flatter at 400 ppm and above. This means the CO2 sensitivity is much smaller than calculated by the IPCC.

      Dr Happer’s information is illustrated by the image below the Warmists use to say ozone is a greenhouse gas. The Figure is from Uherek, 2006. They even say it “show how carbon dioxide is cooling the stratosphere.” The black dotted line is the tropopause and you can see water is dumping energy just under the tropopause (the pink splotches surrounded by dark blue) while CO2 is dumping energy from just above the tropopause and up (the big yellow streak on the left) just as Dr. Happer and Dr Brown stated. Ozone is the smaller yellow streak on the right.

      The legend with the illustration:

      Figure 2.15: Stratospheric cooling rates: The picture shows how water, carbon dioxide and ozone contribute to longwave cooling in the stratosphere. Colors from blue through red, yellow and to green show increasing cooling, grey areas show warming of the stratosphere. The tropopause is shown as dotted line (the troposphere below and the stratosphere above). For CO2 it is obvious that there is no cooling in the troposphere, but a strong cooling effect in the stratosphere. Ozone, on the other hand, cools the upper stratosphere but warms the lower stratosphere. (ibid)

      What is NOT mentions is that is where CO2 is active and NOT in the troposphere at least not below 11 KM where it barely starts radiating.

      AndyG55 replied, “Mainly CONVECTIVE COOLING in the lower atmosphere”

      Gail Combs replied, “It IS convection STUPID!”

      Yes. Convection, and the water cycle (evaporative cooling), are the two most important ways in which heat is removed from the surface of the Earth.

      The water cycle is a classic phase-change refrigeration cycle, like the Freon refrigeration cycle in your refrigerator: Water evaporates at the surface, absorbing “Heat Of Evaporation” (evaporative heat loss). Because the molecular weight of water vapor molecules is just 18 (compared to 28 for N2), moist air is lighter than dry air (contrary to intuition). So the moist air rises to mid-troposphere, where the water condenses into clouds, releasing the heat it had absorbed at the surface.

      (Note: Evaporative cooling is expected to increase with higher temperature, because warmer water evaporates faster, accelerating water cycle cooling: a negative/stabilizing feedback.)

      Gail continued, “Paraphrasing Dr. Brown, physist @ Duke University: ‘…’ In other words near the surface back radiation, aka a ‘resonantly re-emitted’ photon is a RARE EVENT.”

      It is true that when CO2 molecules absorb IR photons, they almost always give up the energy to other air molecules by collisional transfer. But fact that photon re-emissions are rare does not mean that photon emissions and back-radiation are rare.

      Although CO2 molecules are constantly giving up energy by collision with other air molecules, they are also constantly absorbing energy from other air molecules. That continual process of collisional energy transfer between air molecules keeps the constituent gases in the atmosphere in thermal equilibrium. So the amount of IR emitted by CO2 in the air is determined by just two factors: 1. the temperature of the air, and 2. the partial pressure of the CO2.


      Not just ten times slower, but more than 100 million times slower!

      The mean time for a CO2 molecule with its bending mode excited is about one second. Compare that to (at 1 atm pressure and comfortable temperature) the mean time to a collisional transfer of only a few nanoseconds.

      Here’s Prof. Happer’s lecture:

  85. Paul says:

    When putting people or hardware into Space, NASA relies heavily on modeling data for designs. Models often fill in gaps between verified test data, but NASA insists that contracted companies validate the extrapolated data through proven correlations. If related data sets are known to exist NASA requires comparison and rationalization. They don’t accept contradictions from test data sets when life or capital is at stake. If we are to believe global warming is as dire as they claim, why don’t they vet their data to their own standards? Maybe their model has some validity, but it really puts a kink in their plan to rush to judgement if they are held to real scientific standards.

      An oopsie in the Doran/Zimmerman 97% consensus claim OR how to tell a BIG FAT LIE.

      Margaret Zimmerman asked two questions of 10,257 Earth Scientists at academic and government institutions. 3146 of them responded.
      That survey was the original basis for the famous “97% consensus” claim.

      For the calculation of the degree of consensus among experts in the Doran/Zimmerman article, all but 79 of the respondents were excluded.….

      ….only 77 answers were reported to the second question. Two of their 79 top climate specialists had answered “remained relatively constant” to the first question, and those two were not asked the second question, and were not included in the calculation of the supposed 97.4% agreement.

      That means only 75 of 79 [or] (94.9%)….

      SO they asked 10,257 Earth Scientists
      got 3,146 answers
      but didn’t get the statistics they wanted so tossed out 3,067
      and only used the 79 scientists who were in on the scam.
      Or as the authors put it
      “those who listed climate science as their area of expertise and who also have published more than 50% of their recent peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change’ realizing of course that papers do NOT get published if they refute the consensus.

    Climate chance is a variation of the Aztec “sun won’t rise ” scam used by the ruling /religious class of the Aztecs to enrich themselves. First they got everyone to accept the fact that the sun would not rise unless it received human sacrifices. Since the Aztec citizens didn ‘t want to die themselves or have their valuable slaves die, they were told by the ruling class to attack the closest native settlements and to bring back captives for the sacrifice, and to, by the way, bring back the captured gold, silver, other valuables to be given to the ruling class. So the ruling class, enabled by the priest, foisted this scam on the citizens to enrich themselves.

  102. I live in Nicaragua. We have not had record high temperatures in December. We have had cloudy skies and record rain for December.

  103. Ike Kiefer says:

    By definition, a record can only be a record if it is a recorded measurement. A record is the extreme member of a set of recorded data. Temperature anomolies are not recorded data, but recorded interpretations. They do not even qualify as metadata because they are not deterministically reproducible from the raw data, but are dependent upon imaginary “data” that has been corrected, extrapolated, interpolated, infilled, or is otherwise removed from actual measurement of actual phenomena.

    Climate “scientists” have strayed long and far from the very critical distinction between data (raw measurements of actual phenomena) and human interpretation, (corrections, interpolations, extrapolations, analysis, theories, models, etc.). An Olympic sprinter cannot set a record in the 200m based upon an extrapolation of his/her 100m time. A 4 x 100m relay cannot be run by 1 real person who hands off the baton to 3 imaginary teammates. Olympic timekeepers do not adjust elapsed times to compensate for altitude or winds or temperature. Records may have an asterisk if there is something extraordinary about the circumstances of measurement, but the measurement itself stands.

    When we look at U.S. surface temperature anomalies as currently presented by federal agencies and authorities we find that the the raw data has been adjusted with a systematic bias to cool the past and warm the present by a magnitude greater than the resulting warming trend — i.e., the corrections reverse the trend of the raw data. If the raw data is of such poor quality that such large corrections are justified, then the error bars on all the graph points would form a noise band large enough to completely swallow the warming trend line. All of science and reason screams out against the validity of a conclusion which requires such violence to the raw data, and even so cannot then produce a signal greater than the error tolerance. It remains only for the sane and honest among us to wonder if this miscarriage of science has been perpetrated through gross malfeasance or deliberate fraud. Something is rotten in NOAA and NASA and the whole climate modeling and alarmism cohort. Self-interested criminal conspiracy constitutes racketeering. When agents of the government racketeer against the citizens, it is the gravest form of betrayal and treachery.

    • Gail Combs says:

      Nicely put.

      How can you get reports to the hundredth of a degree from a UNIQUE datum with the majority of surface stations (over 70% in the USA) are Class 4 (CRN4) with an error >= 2C or Class 5 (CRN5) with an error >= 5C.
      You can not use the statistics of large numbers to increase your precision especially with the measurements of temperature are BAD estimates of the property heat content.

      The simple fact is that the average of two temperatures is completely void of meaning. ClimAstrology is dedicated to the notion that you can average just one, intensive, variable, that being temperature, and do thermodynamics WITHOUT paying any attention to the other properties in a thermodynamic system like, water content, specific heat, mass, mass flow…

  104. Ornley Gumfudgen says:

    Oh wow. Something as an engineer who has worked on their equipment and has seen them adjusting/correcting their data and has been saying they are not being honest for decades. If they don’t have the data they make it up. If the data doesn’t fit their model, they ‘correct’ it. It’s one of the biggest scams/lies that have been perpetrated on the world population. Much bigger than “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.” Oh how I wish that Trump would contact me and let me inform him how they do it. I spent a lifetime working on the technology necessary to monitor our earth’s atmosphere and climate and it pains me to see how they have misused it to spread a lie for power and money. I can show him exactly how it was done and is still being done. How? Because I have seen it being done. But no one wants to believe it. Just label me a denier. I am also a deplorable so a deplorable denier seems to fit.

      I always have to laugh a people so naïve and trusting that they refuse to believe the government would lie to them. Here is paste a recollection I posted at another blog this morning:

      I know for a fact that the US military has in the past willfully distorted important information when ordered by the NCA (National Command Authority) to do so for political reasons.
      Back during the Clinton era during the fighting in the Balkans they did it. The CIA using satellite and USAF aerial recon was issuing BDA (Bomb Damage Assessment) reports. Though not still in SF I knew and was still in contact with a number of guys on teams on the ground doing recon at the time. Their missions were BDA. What the CIA was claiming in their BDAs were so wildly optimistic that they had no basis in realty based on the on ground recon BDAs conducted by the special operators. Bill Cohen was Clintons Sec. Def at the time. He ordered the on ground BDA be ignored and the highly inaccurate CIA BDA be reported and used for the AARs (After Action Reports) so as to put the best political face on the USAF bombing operations.

      And people wonder why I laugh at fools that think that government climate data must be honest and factual representations of reality. If politicians have no qualms about publishing, presenting, and hyping inaccurate or false information that could lead to future military failures and increased casualties for political reasons, they why would anyone expect them to be honest about a political issue such as “climate change”?
