NOAA’s Ever-Changing Definition of La Niña Years
UPDATE: I’ve added two illustrations to the end of the post. At the request of blogger “Kurt in Switzerland”, I plotted a comparison of the new and old versions of…
Bob Tisdale shows how 'Forecast the Facts" Brad Johnson (and now Dr. Heidi Cullen) are fecklessly factless about ocean warming and the blizzard
UPDATE2: Gosh. Shouldn’t Dr. Cullen know more than McKibben and Brad Johnson?! (h/t to Marc Morano) – Anthony Here’s the SST anomaly map she cites as proof in her post…
New ebook: The Manmade Global Warming Challenge
Guest post by Bob Tisdale INTRODUCTION Many bloggers are very active in the climate change debate around the globe. In advance of an expected intensification of that debate this year,…

NOAA's 'Janus moment' – while claiming 'The American public can be confident in NOAA’s long-standing surface temperature record', they fund an experiment to investigate the effects of station siting and heat sinks/sources on temperature data
NOAA’s impersonation of the two faced god Janus just proved my point about station siting issues with their actions that speak louder than words. While there’s all this caterwauling about…
