Devastating non-trends in US Climate

From Warren Meyer, who was discussing the recent announcement from the White House Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force.

If one wonders why the climate alarmist movement is suffering from a credibility problem, one only needs to read some of the claims:

Climate change is already having “pervasive, wide-ranging” effects on “nearly every aspect of our society,” a task force representing more than 20 federal agencies reported Tuesday.

Here are some of the devastating non-trends in US Climate:

The White House Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force is nothing more but a political tool in line with the UN IPCC to enable the introduction of Cap & Trade, the establishment of aCorporatist (read fascist) Global Power grab, all at the costs of our civilization, and the individual civil rights, freedom, prosperity and future of the people in favor of a small group of elites.
The alarmist arguments however can not hold up to real world observations and the only question I ask is this: Where are the protests, where are the riots?
This sneak attack on all of our lives is worst than 9/11!

I know it’s Friday afternoon. I know I am just an engineer. BUT, can I see a slope rate pretty much consistent all the way through on those peaks & troughs. I have only eye-balled the slopes with a scale rule against the screen to get a best fit curve/equal area line, but I would say the rate of increases & decreases look fairly consistent to me (we structural engineers don’t worry too much about minor differences, it’s close enough!). This I would suggest indicates some form of pattern? Perhaps it’s me!

Read the comments. Found none supporting.
Is the American public waking up from its daze?
Sure hope so, too much taxpayers money has already gone down the drain.

J.I.McK: I second the desire for corresponding global data. Notice, however, that the Hurricane data IS global. It might not be easy to come by global equivalents for all of the above, considering the tendency of those so well-funded to study climate are not highly disposed to compiling or publishing data at odds with the picture they’re trying to paint. There’s a certain level of honesty one expects from U.S. institutions, even alarmist ones, that is unlikely to be matched by international groups like Pauchari’s IPCC that seem to believe they answer only to themselves.

Given that 90% of all tornadoes in the world occur in North America, I’m not sure what additional data you will get from looking at tornado activity worldwide…

no results till august?
yet april may and june they plan to push for more carbon signups? in their gabfests.
wouldn’t anyone with half an IQ wait to see what the results( of the whitewash) are

So droughts were predicted to be up and stay that way in the Southwest US and it has been wet instead. Snow was ending in the northeast and we set records,
Thanks for news stories showing reality is the opposite of the warmists claims.

Sorry mate, you’ve not been following the plot.
Everything is consistent with the claims! 😉

Edited Statement (As Required By ‘Truth In Government Act of 1776, First Continental Congress):
“The Task Force has found that climate change (has affected,) is affecting, and will continue to affect, nearly every aspect of our society (, the weather,) and the environment,” the report states. “Some of the impacts are increased (and decreased) severity of floods, droughts, and heat waves, (and cold waves) increased (and decreased) wildfires and sea level rise (and sea level fall).
“Climate change impacts are pervasive (and not), wide-ranging (and not) and affect the core systems of our society (sometimes): transportation, ecosystems, agriculture, business, infrastructure, water, and energy, among others,” the report continues. “Climate change already is affecting the ability of Federal agencies to fulfill their missions (as it always has).”

Oh I wish I didn’t just read this in my coffee breaks and had the time to get you guys organised to get this out to the press in a ready digestible form. It is prime beef rotting on the shelf cause no one has thought to cook it!

Oh no!! The climate is staying the same! We’re all gonna die of boredom!!

Don’t worry!, beginning in december 2004 (sumatra earthquake and tsunami) earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes began cooperating to amuse you…not counting the healthy and chilling cold, as any real and serious Solar Minimum should behave. 🙂

“Who says nothing is happening!!! Climate change has had a HUGE pervasive and significant upward trending affect on internet blogs. Well, one, anyway.”

Warren Meyer: There are no trend lines on the graphs you’re claiming have no upward trends. Trends are not something one can eyeball.

Just one word added,( missed by the stenographer when taking notes):
Political climate change is already having “pervasive, wide-ranging” effects on “nearly every aspect of our society,” a task force representing more than 20 federal agencies reported Tuesday.
“These impacts will influence how and where we live and work as well as our cultures, health and environment,” the report states. “It is therefore imperative to take action now to adapt to a changing political climate.”

You know-I keep reading about this snowy and cold winter we had on this site, But here in nothern VT, heating degree days are below normal for the season, winter started late by a month, and March, normally a winter month here, has had no snow (current high temp about 25F above normal). So with all the negative PDO talk, negative AO, volcanic activity, solar minumum, and oncoming ice age alarmism, where the hell is the cold weather? Where are the 20 and 30 F degree below nights in January that we had with regularity (over my previous 60 years) What happens when all those factors go the other way? Dont get me wrong, I’m all in favor of global cooling (being a skier) just aint seeing any. Just more of the same anemic winters that we have had for 15 years or so.

Jim Clarke (06:21:26) — Can anyone name one negative impact they have personally suffered that can be attributed solely to climate change (natural or man made)?
I’d like the vast number of hours of my life back I had to spend studying this rubbish so as to be able to help influence votes against the feds taking 90% of our pay in an effort to combat evil corporations and soccer moms in SUV’s.

The OtherDan, check out the position of the jet stream and the AO. They work in tandem to provide the broad strokes of seasonal weather for larger areas. Add pressure gradients and cold/warm fronts coming from the Gulf and Atlantic to your geographical climate zone parameters, and you get local weather variations.

Presumably the lack of a trend is yet another consequence of Climate Change. As predicted. In fact, if this keeps up, by the year 2035 we might well not have any weather at all !?!

I measured the sea level yesterday, at 10:00am. I measured it today at exactly 10:00am and it was 6 inches higher. At this rate, we’ll be under 100 feet of water by the end of the year!

Friends of the Earth have a letter writing campaign to get El Presidente to no issue a permit for some pipeline from Oil Tar sands or some such. It is here:
http://action.foe.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2317&gclid=CNG3v_GWxaACFRmjagodUmgpbA
It allows you to add your own personalized touches to the letter, and purportedly, sends what you write to El Presidente.
Of course, you could change the message, if you know what I mean.
