Video: Comments on Human-Induced Global Warming – Episode 2 – Introduction to the Halt in Global Warming
This is the second in a series of videos that examines hypothetical human-induced global warming and claims made by global warming enthusiasts. As noted in the title, it presents an…
Video: Comments on Human-Induced Global Warming – Episode 1 – The Hiroshima Bomb Metric
With much fanfare from the faithful (a grand total of 15 comments as of this writing), SkepticalScience recently released their 4-Hiroshima-Bombs-per-second widget. Their claimed intent is to “raise the awareness…
Open Letter to Lewis Black and George Clooney
Date: November 26, 2013 From: Bob Tisdale To: Lewis Black and George Clooney Subject: Human-Induced Global Warming Gentlemen: First, let me congratulate and thank you for your efforts in disaster…
October 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
The following graph is of annual global surface temperature anomalies, including year-to-date 2013 values. The base years for anomalies are 1981-2010. The GISS and NCDC data run through October 2013,…
On Cowtan and Way (2013) “Coverage bias in the HadCRUT4 temperature series and its impact on recent temperature trends”
INTRODUCTION The recent paper by Cowtan and Way (2013) Coverage bias in the HadCRUT4 temperature series and its impact on recent temperature trends made the rounds in the climate change…
Reality is Absent from Michael Mann’s Activist Article on Typhoon Haiyan
UPDATE: I’ve corrected a few typos that carried over into two of the graphs and, at the end, I’ve added a model-data comparison of the sea surface temperature anomalies for…
Games People Play
The following link is to a Tweet from Peter Gleick regarding Typhoon Haiyan. It includes a map of the subsurface temperature anomalies at depths of 100 meters in the northwest…
Comments on Stefan Rahmstorf’s Post at RealClimate “What ocean heating reveals about global warming”
I was recently asked to comment on Stefan Rahmsorf’s post What ocean heating reveals about global warming at RealClimate. There is a link to a pdf edition of this post…
Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential – It’s All in the Presentation
UPDATE: If you’d like to contribute to the Philippine Red Cross you can do so here. # # # The warm-looking image on the left in Figure 1 is of…
September 2013 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) Temperature Anomaly Update
Sorry this is so late. The NCDC and GISS updates were delayed by the government shutdown. Because it is so late, it includes the September 2013 HADCRUT4 data from the…
IPCC Adjusts Model-Predicted Near-Term Warming Downwards
This is another post that illustrates and discusses just how poorly climate models simulate one of the most important climate variables: global surface temperatures. I’ve included a copy of this…
Tamino Resorts to Childish Attempts at Humor But Offers Nothing of Value
INITIAL NOTE: This post includes a link to and title of a recent post by Tamino, in which he attempted sophomoric humor in an effort to amuse his audience. While…
ENSO Basics: Westerly Wind Bursts Initiate an El Niño
This may seem like an unusual time to have this discussion. We’re presently in ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation)-neutral conditions, meaning the tropical Pacific isn’t experiencing an El Niño or a…
Dana Nuccitelli Can’t Come to Terms with the Death of the AGW Hypothesis
Dana Nuccitelli published an article today in The Guardian Does the global warming “pause” mean what you think it means?…a play off a line by Inigo Montoya from “The Princess…
Will Global Warming Increase the Intensity of El Niño?
FIRST CLIMATE MODELS HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SIMULATE EL NIÑO AND LA NIÑA PROCESSES—CAPABILITIES THEY CONTINUE TO LACK AFTER DECADES OF MODELING EFFORTS (PERSONALLY, I DON’T THINK THE MODELERS…
Will their Failure to Properly Simulate Multidecadal Variations In Surface Temperatures Be the Downfall of the IPCC?
OVERVIEW This post illustrates what many people envision after reading scientific papers about the predicted multidecadal persistence of the hiatus period—papers like Li et al. (2013) and Wyatt and Curry…
Another Peer-Reviewed Paper Predicting the Cessation of Global Warming Will Last At Least Another Decade
A few days ago, the Georgia Tech press release for Wyatt and Curry (2013) included a quote from Marcia Wyatt, who said the stoppage in global warming “could extend into…
AMAZING: The IPCC May Have Provided A Realistic Illustration
In the post Is Ocean Heat Content Data All It’s Stacked Up to Be? I explained all of the problems associated with Ocean Heat Content data, in great detail. For…
IPCC Still Delusional about Carbon Dioxide
INITIAL NOTE: If you have not had the opportunity to view a model-data comparison of global surface temperature anomalies, where the models and data are compared during the two warming…
