Extremes and Averages in Contiguous U.S. Climate – Part 10: The Contiguous U.S.
Guest Post By Bob Tisdale With the 2020 U.S. elections rapidly approaching, I’ve prepared this series of 10 blog posts that present graphs of NOAA data for the Contiguous United…
Realistic Glossary of Terms for the Climate Crisis/Climate Emergency
Guest venting by Bob Tisdale This post is intended as a starting point for a glossary of terms that speaks freely about the realities of the climate change/global warming crusade,…
The Book That NOAA Should Have Published: Extremes and Averages in Contiguous U.S. Climate
New climate data reference book presents data that NOAA doesn’t. Graphs of 100 Years of NOAA Contiguous U.S. Climate Data (2018 Edition) – A Book That NOAA Should Have Published…
Early 20th Century Warming – Polar Amplification, Model-Data & Model-Model Comparisons
A Guest Post By Bob Tisdale In this post, we’re going to illustrate how poorly climate models used by the IPCC for their 5th Assessment Report simulate the polar amplification…
Global Mean Surface Temperature: Early 20th Century Warming Period – Models versus Models & Models versus Data
A Guest Post By Bob Tisdale This is a long post: 3500+ words and 22 illustrations. Regardless, heretics of the church of human-induced global warming who frequent this blog should…
Deep Ocean Warming in Degrees C
In recent weeks and months, there’s been a run of papers—with typical mainstream media misinforming embellishments—about improved estimates of the warming of the oceans…and blog posts about them. One thing…
Mao et al 2019 Show an Upcoming 1-Deg C + Decline in Global Land Surface Temperatures by the Early 2100s
This is a quick introduction to the 2019 paper The “Ocean Stabilization Machine” May Represent a Primary Factor Underlying the Effect of Global Warming on Climate Change by Mao et…
Does The Climate-Science Industry Purposely Ignore A Simple Aspect of Strong El Niño Events That Causes Long-Term Global Warming?
PREFACE It was a little more than 10 years ago that I published my first blog posts on the obvious upward steps in the sea surface temperatures of a large…
Greenland Near-Surface Land Air Temperature Data from Berkeley Earth Present Some Surprises
I enjoy surprises in data, especially when they might make alarmists unhappy. Willis Eschenbach’s post Greenland Is Way Cool at WattsUpWithThat prompted me to take a look at the Berkeley…
A Synthesis of Papers about the Madden-Julian Oscillation under Anthropogenic Warming
Maloney, et al. (2019) Madden–Julian oscillation changes under anthropogenic warming (paywalled) is a summary of a gazillion papers (well, that may be an exaggeration) about the future of the Madden-Julian…
“…it is the change in temperature compared to what we’ve been used to that matters.” – Part 3
In this post, we’re going to present monthly mean TMIN and TMAX Near-Land Surface Air Temperatures (not in anomaly form) for a group of ten (10) Countries in an effort…
“…it is the change in temperature compared to what we’ve been used to that matters.” – Part 2
In this post, we’re going to present graphs that show the annual lowest TMIN and highest TMAX Near-Land Surface Air Temperatures (not in anomaly form) for ten (10) Countries in…
Examples of How the Use of Temperature ANOMALY Data Instead of Temperature Data Can Result in WRONG Answers
This post comes a couple of weeks after the post EXAMPLES OF HOW AND WHY THE USE OF A “CLIMATE MODEL MEAN” AND THE USE OF ANOMALIES CAN BE MISLEADING…
“…it is the change in temperature compared to what we’ve been used to that matters.” – Part 1
In this post, we’re going to present monthly TMIN and TMAX Near-Land Surface Air Temperature data for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (not in anomaly form) in an effort to add…
Have The Poorest Countries Been Hit Hardest By Climate Change/Global Warming?
One of the constantly repeated, sympathy-seeking (and basis for wealth distribution) messages by politicians, by alarmists, by the mainstream media, and by brainwashed good-intentioned people, is that the world’s poorest…
WMO Reasoning behind Two Sets of “Normals” a.k.a. Two Periods of Base Years for Anomalies
Most of us are familiar with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)-recommended 30-year period for “normals”, which are also used as base years against which anomalies are calculated. Most, but not…
GISS Makes a Useful Reference Disappear from their Land-Ocean Temperature Index Data Page
The bottom of the data page for the GISS Land-Ocean Temperature Index used to (past tense) include a useful reference. But that reference was deleted in January 2016 and has…
EXAMPLES OF HOW AND WHY THE USE OF A “CLIMATE MODEL MEAN” AND THE USE OF ANOMALIES CAN BE MISLEADING
THE POST HAS BEEN UPDATED. SEE THE UPDATE AT THE END OF THE POST: Alternate Title: An Average of Climate Models, Which Individually Give Wrong Answers, Cannot, By Averaging Them,…
What Was Earth’s Preindustrial Global Mean Surface Temperature, In Absolute Terms Not Anomalies, Supposed to Be?
And What Have the Average Temperatures of Earth’s Surfaces Been Recently in Absolute Terms, Not Anomalies? The answers may surprise you. THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED. The update is near the end…
Alarmists Will NOT Like This Part of the Recently Published U.S. Climate Science Special Report
Chapter 6 – Temperature Changes in the United States of the U.S. Global Change Research Program’s recently published Climate Science Special Report (2017) clearly shows and discusses, under the heading…
October 2018 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) and Lower Troposphere Temperature Anomaly Update
As you’ll soon see, there was an eye-catching uptick (+0.25 deg C) in the GISS global Land-Ocean Temperature Index (LOTI) data from September to October 2018. We’ll have to wait…
A Quick Post before the Monthly Global Surface and TLT Temperature Update
I’m adding Two Graphs to my Monthly Global Surface and TLT Temperature Updates. The new graphs are being added for a simple reason: to provide different perspectives on the increases…
Do Doomsters Know How Much Global Surface Temperatures Cycle Annually
Alternate Title: The Annual Cycle in Global Land+Ocean Surface Temperature IS Far Greater Than 1.5 Deg C, AND Much-Much-MUCH Greater Than 1.5 Deg C Annually for Global Land Air Surface…
