I just uploaded a narrated video to YouTube titled “We Now Control Weather – Extreme Heat Events, Dirty Weather, Climate Disasters”.
The first five minutes are basically a lead-in. Then I present the realities—the differences between models and observations. Unfortunately, it’s long, but if people are gonna watch another 24-hour Gore-A-Thon, 15 minutes is nothing, so I’ll hopefully attract a chunk of them.
The following are links to the two posts referred to in the video:
A Blog Memo to Kevin Trenberth – NCAR
And:
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about El Niño and La Niña…
Don’t be concerned by the title. I haven’t returned to my days-gone-by beliefs in manmade global warming.

Brilliant!
Somehow, I get the funny feeling there are a lot more unpleasant emails and twit tweets shooting between the climate ‘team’. This video catches them all with their pants down and their hands in the wrong pockets.
Bob did a great job. Make sure you go to YouTube link and vote it as a “Like”.
That is really great Bob. Fantastic.
The climate scientists keep looking for a better way to communicate the science – just send them the link to this video and they will have a fit at how easy it is if one just uses the real evidence.

Here’s another “Extreme Heat Event” in California…
Gas prices to soar in SoCal due to refinery outages
Wednesday, October 03, 2012
“You can blame the heat that’s led to several refinery outages and a refinery fire in Northern California this summer.”

Refineries actually operate on heat to distill the crude. Heat should be good…
————————————————-from wiki:
The incoming crude oil is preheated by exchanging heat with some of the hot, distilled fractions and other streams. It is then desalted to remove inorganic salts (primarily sodium chloride).
Following the desalter, the crude oil is further heated by exchanging heat with some of the hot, distilled fractions and other streams. It is then heated in a fuel-fired furnace (fired heater) to a temperature of about 398 °C and routed into the bottom of the distillation unit.
The cooling and condensing of the distillation tower overhead is provided partially by exchanging heat with the incoming crude oil and partially by either an air-cooled or water-cooled condenser. Additional heat is removed from the distillation column by a pumparound system as shown in the diagram below.

Something is wrong with this claim….
Unseasonable warm weather is shutting down refineries ?
B.S. Now global warming shuts down refineries…. right.
“Global warming” has been revived by the AGW crowd ! so they’ve dropped climate “change”, great LOL

Thanks, Anthony.

My guess is that part will create some complaints to YouTube about copyright infringement and it will be taken down. Just in case, I already have another version prepared with the transcripts from the two PBS shows and Al’s press release. It won’t be as good with me reading it, but it’ll get the message across.
Bob, I can never fully grasp your posts here at WUWT, but this video was very clear and concise. Thanks very much. I think you should do more of this for the technically challenged! 🙂
Absolutely superb, Bob! Every British politician needs to see this video. We are still hearing the scary sea rise stories from leading Labour opposition party figures.
Bob, I bought your book a few weeks back and even though I’m not a scientist or in any field relating to climate change I found the content relatively easy to understand and, on the face of it, pretty logical and convincing.
I understand your comments at the time regarding getting the book on to ereaders like Kindle etc and I tried converting and uploading it to my Kindle – it isn’t perfect but it’s fine – if I need to refer back to a graph etc I just fire up the PDF.
The video is quite damning of the alarmists – rightly.
Many thanks for your work which is much appreciated.
johnbuk: Thanks for the kind words about the book. How did you convert from pdf to mobi formats?
Time very well spent! Thanks!

I did, Michael. I wrote a book:

Hi Bob, I use Linux so used Calibre (it may be available for Windows but I’m not sure).
Bob, here’s a link for Calibre – http://calibre-ebook.com/
Having had a look at a number of Bob’s excellent videos I see a very high correlation between the level of solar activity and the trend of sea surface temperatures as reflected in the ENSO process.
It is clear that the high solar cycles number 17, 18 and 19 resulted in increasing SSTs, cycle 20 resulted in lower SSTs and cycles 21, 22 and 23 gave higher SSTs once more.
I found the speed of the oceanic response to solar variations quite surprising.
What we seem to have here is a high climate sensitivity to solar variations operating via SSTs and in particular the net relationship between El Ninos and La Ninas.
That high climate sensitivity to solar variations is then countered by a negative system response whereby the global air circulation changes to counter the increased energy being released from oceans to air.
Simply put, if more energy enters the oceans then it is soon released to the air by an increase in El Nino relative to La Nina. The global air circulation then changes to expel that extra energy to space faster and the visible manifestation of that response is a latitudinal shift in the permanent climate zones which we perceive as climate change.
As for the cause of the change in energy received by the oceans we need to look to global cloudiness and albedo which seems to follow the expansion and contraction of the polar vortices in response to changes in the mix of particles and wavelengths from the sun.
Now we have a very weak solar cycle 24 which should soon provide the evidence we need to resolve the issue.
I teach children at times. It takes effort to condense a concept into a package they can comprehend. To go into the details behind the concept would “lose them”.
Many of us out here are “children” in our understanding of the details of the CAGW PR campaign. We aren’t stupid. But we are ignorant of many of the details of their “sychobable”.
Thanks for the excellent “condensation”.

Bob, excellent, nice & clear explained, great video. Thank you!
Some folks may even be feeling sorry for Al Gore. But most of us are sick of his false “science”.
When he is not molesting motel maids, he is encouraging limp bureaucrats in both academia and government.
The truth always emerges, but to many of us, it is sooooo slow.
Thanks to you (and Anthony) for speeding up the process.
Great hard hitting clarity Bob. I have already linked to it, in multiple arguments, around the circuit. You are single handedly making life easier in the blogosphere. Thank-you again! GK
A very informative and well-presented 15 minutes, thank you Bob. There should be a copy in every school (including translations for non-English speakers). Meanwhile, looking forward to Part 2.
Bob, the AGW won’t go for it because you have used two things they don’t understand, real data and logic. Plus you did it in a calm and respectful manner. They only go for hate driven diatribes full of BS….
Btw: I assume that is your voice narrating. If so, you have missed your calling, as it was most excellent. The kind of narration which oozes sincerity and trust. Why didn’t you tell us … that you are a “silver tongue devil”?! GK
I stopped watching ‘Expendables 2’ ( not a great hardship I can assure you ;)) to watch this.
I think, no, I know I was already aware of the conclusions discussed here but often the science is delivered in an unfriendly manner for those not as familiar with the work and data as Bob is. As noted above, Bob’s posts, whilst informative and thorough can get a little weighty for the layman ( I know you are aware of this Bob, I’ve seen you discuss it before ) and it’s nice that this was explained in such simple terms that I’ll be happy to offer this video, without comment to a few of the more zealous warmista I know to see what the excuse is this time.
I also found it pleasantly odd to discover that Bob has a “good ole boy” accent. As a Brit I’m used to my science being delivered by “Oxbridge” type stuffed shirts 😉
Also glad you got the book plug in Bob, would not do to forget that. I suppose I’d better cough up some pennies and buy it as I did with the previous “if the IPCC…” book. It would be nice to get a version straight to Kindle and I know it’s not a difficult procedure to sell in that market.
Calibre, as pointed out above is the weapon of choice for conversion, it is free and has all manner of goodies meaning I can have my e-book collection on Kindle, Windows, Windows Phone and Android devices as and when I need them and it also runs a handy server so that I can transfer them all wirelessly from my PC which is usually the purchase point. I could not live without it.
If you have any difficulty getting to grips with the conversion bob, just ask here, I’m sure many will be happy to help. Sometimes a little reformatting is required to get a perfect conversion but I’ve done literally thousands of books, it’s simple once you get into it.
