It doesn’t look like it, but rest assured this is catastrophic.

David Jones, as he always does, and I always highlight, has been shooting off early again.

Last Friday, he declared because computer models were forecasting “INSANE” temperatures we would break records.

I’m not sure why, but he just cant help himself. Always going off in the holster early.

This behaviour is a common side effect from our resident alarmist, so expect it to continue with no end in sight..

And that is, being an alarmist with a brain that doesn’t function very well.

David is asking everyone on social media whether anyone can spot the trend because Venice recorded its 6th highest ever reading of water levels.

The fact that a heavy rain bearing system was to blame is irrelevant. The trend is undeniable.

And I agree, there is a big trend….. in stupidity that is increasing at exponential levels whenever David speaks.

The evil CO2 monster could only muster up the 6th highest recorded sea levels despite favourable conditions.

This reeks of desperation by the man running the National Climate Centre, because we are well into November and 2 weeks away from summer, and we have been receiving temps in the low to mid 20s in the southern states. The fact the heat hasn’t come is an embarrassment.

So embarrassing that they have to use a 1961 – 1990 baseline to make everyone believe it’s actually warmer than normal.

The alarmist mantra is alive and well, if the weather wont co – operate, just lie and speak utter horseshit.

 

 

Yes, that’s right, Sea Ice melt now causes sea level rise!

This is amazing, it has special doubling properties that defies physics.

However just a quick query. Why are we not all 3 kms underwater when this happens every year?

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted in 2007 that the global
average sea level would rise between 7 and 23 inches by the end of this century.
More recent projections suggest that the melting of Arctic sea ice could mean a
rise in excess of 30 inches. The New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force
translated that into a local projection of 2 to 5 inches by the 2020s, and with
rapid ice melt, the rise could be as much as 5 to 10 inches over the next 15
years.

They need to hand out awards for such stupidity.

 

I don’t know how they get away with such utter nonsense.

This is the headline, on the CNN website.

http://edition.cnn.com/2012/10/31/us/sandy-climate-change/index.html?iref=obinsite

Making they think everyone is as dumb as they are? Here is a nice sample.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been strategizing.

His goal: mitigate future storm surges and flooding along the city’s 500 miles of coastline.

That’s a huge challenge. The densely populated city is dominated by some of the nation’s most expensive real estate and is surrounded by a complex web of estuaries, tides and ocean.

Should New York think of its coastline as a threat? Is it the new Amsterdam? Maybe, say experts. But even a city as inventive as the Big Apple can only do so much.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted in 2007 that the global average sea level would rise between 7 and 23 inches by the end of this century. More recent projections suggest that the melting of Arctic sea ice could mean a rise in excess of 30 inches. The New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force translated that into a local projection of 2 to 5 inches by the 2020s, and with rapid ice melt, the rise could be as much as 5 to 10 inches over the next 15 years.

Umm, Arctic Sea Ice melt doesn’t increase sea levels around the world, it’s already in the Sea.

Why would such alarmist behaviour not be surprising from these clowns.

Maybe the New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force are a group of grade 1 students on work experience?

Yet another cold record for New York. Which broke the cold record of last year.

Alarmists are telling us melting Arctic Ice is to blame, except when there is a heatwave or drought, when Arctic Ice is also to blame.

The nor’easter that brought new woes to recovery efforts from Superstorm Sandy began moving off the New England coast at mid-morning Thursday, leaving behind new power outages, transport snarls and school cancellations from a night of high winds and heavy snow, including a record 4.7 inches in New York City’s Central Park.

Meteorologist Frank Nocera said temperatures over the next couple of days will be in the 50s in southern New England, and on Sunday it could edge into the 60s.

Packing gusts as high as 54 miles per hour, the storm dumped significant amounts of snow in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York as it rolled through the tri-state area hit by Sandy early last week.

Clintonville, Conn., measured 13.5 inches of snow, the highest so far from the storm, AccuWeather reported. Freehold, N.J., followed with 13 inches, and Bronxville, N.Y., got 9.5 inches.

The 4.7 inches that draped Central Park overnight was 1.7 inches more than it has ever gotten this early in the winter since record-keeping began in 1869, AccuWeather reported.

Elsewhere in the tri-state region, downed tree limbs and overhead electrical lines triggered new power disruptions just as the area utilities was restoring thousands outages caused by Sandy.

Consolidated Edison reported 11,000 new outages late Wednesday, raising the total for New York City and the Westchester County northern suburb to 75,000.

“God hates us!” the New York Post’s front page complained Thursday over the weather one-two punch.

In New Jersey, the new storm also added a layer of frustration for coastal residents and property owners still trying to clean up from Sandy’s coastal devastation.

Work crews lined up to cross the bridge onto the Seaside Heights, N.J.,  barrier island while plow trucks cleared the roads of snow.
Billy Major, who owns an amusement park in Seaside Heights and a construction company, said his workers had been waiting in line at the bridge since 6 a.m., but had gotten no information from state and local officials as to when they could get back to work.

“I’m paying them to stand in line,” Major said in frustration. “If they’re not allowed in in a couple of hours, I’m sending them home.”

Airports in New York City and New Jersey, meanwhile, reported delays of 15 minutes or less Thursday morning while winter weather and flood warnings were dropped as the nor’easter lumbered away.

But not before the snow and wind at times shut down the Long Island Rail Road and its Penn Station terminus in Manhattan during Wednesday night’s rush hour and again into the night.

The shutdown stranded riders at closed stations far from home. Although the New York City subway system was running near normal on Sandy-modified routes, the LIRR warned of weather-related delays and cancellations Thursday morning.

“Can New York please get a break. Have no idea how I’m getting to school,” one LIRR rider tweeted late Wednesday night.

But the storm also canceled or forced delayed openings for scores of schools, forcing parents to change work schedules already scrambled by last week’s storm.

Under ordinary circumstances, a storm of this sort wouldn’t be a big deal. But large swaths of the landscape were still an open wound, with the electrical system highly fragile and many of Sandy’s victims still mucking out their homes and cars and shivering in the deepening cold. As the storm picked up in intensity Wednesday evening, lights started flickering off again.

Mark L. Fendrick, of Staten Island, shared his frustration with others on Twitter Wednesday night, saying, “My son had just got his power back 2 days ago now along comes this nor’easter and it’s out again.”

Ahead of the storm, public works crews in New Jersey built up dunes to protect the stripped and battered coast, and new evacuations were ordered in a number of communities already emptied by Sandy. New shelters opened.

Not everybody hunkered down.

Katie Wilford left her Brick Township home near Barnegat Bay as the nor’easter approached. She bundled her sons Nick, 14, and Matthew, 10, into the minivan in search of an open motel.

“It’s a little overwhelming,” she said. “I can’t believe we’re doing this again. We’re going on Day 10 with no power. That’s a long time. I just want the sun to come out and things to be normal again.”

In New York City, police went to low-lying neighborhoods with loudspeakers, urging residents to leave. But Mayor Michael Bloomberg didn’t issue mandatory evacuations, and many people stayed behind, some because they feared looting, others because they figured whatever happens couldn’t be any worse than what they have gone through already.

“I’m staying,” said 61-year-old Staten Islander Iliay Bardash. “Nothing can compare to what happened Still, authorities urged caution. The city manager in Long Beach, N.Y., urged the roughly 21,000 people who ignored previous mandatory evacuation orders in the badly damaged barrier-island city to get out.

All construction in New York City was halted — a precaution that needed no explanation after a crane collapsed last week in Sandy’s high winds and dangled menacingly over the streets of Manhattan. Parks were closed because of the danger of falling trees. Drivers were advised to stay off the road after 5 p.m. and part of the busy Long Island Expressway was shut down in both directions because of icing.

Sandy, which struck less than two days ago,  killed more than 100 people in 10 states, with most of the victims in New York and New Jersey. Long lines persisted at gas stations but were shorter than they were days ago. By early Thursday, more than 292,700 homes and business in New York state were without power, and another 403,000 in New Jersey lacked electricity. In some areas, the numbers began climbing again Wednesday evening.

I find this hard to believe. David Jones said that October will break all records, because by the 7th of October it was running super hot.

Thats because David usually goes off in the holster early. The last three times since 2010 he claimed the month was doomed with no rain we ended up doubling the average in Melbourne. Maybe someone can email him and let him know the modern calender averages 30 days a month not 12.

Here it is, unchanged as the El Nino died before it got started.

Expect it continue cooling now for the next 20 years, slowly next year and then more rapidly towards the end of the decade when the AMO goes cold again.

And thats without the impending maunder minimum from the Sun.

Wood for Trees: Interactive Graphs

Crack scientists are spending billions of dollars studying methods to isolate the man made temperature footprint from the natural temperature footprint. Can you help them?

What percentage of the 0.0C change in temperature over the sixteen years is due to man made CO2?

1. 0%
2. 25%
3. 47.6%
4. 75%
5. 83.279%
6. 97%
7. 97%
8. 97%
9. 99.7%
10. All of the above

This man never ceases to amaze. He also suffers memory loss.

Time for a refresher course. Here is the email to Phil Jones, of climategate fame.

Thanks Phil for the input and paper. I will get back to you with comments next week.
   Fortunately in Australia our sceptics are rather scientifically incompetent. It is also
   easier for us in that we have a policy of providing any complainer with every single
   station observation when they question our data (this usually snows them) and the
   Australian data is in pretty good order anyway.
   Truth be know, climate change here is now running so rampant that we don’t need
   meteorological data to see it. Almost everyone of our cities is on the verge of running out
   of water and our largest irrigation system (the Murray Darling Basin is on the verge of
   collapse – across NSW farmer have received a 0% allocation of water for the coming summer
   and in Victoria they currently have 5% allocations – numbers that will just about see the
   death of our fruit, citrus, vine and dairy industries if we don’t get good spring rain).
   The odd things is that even when we see average rainfall our runoffs are far below average,
   which seems to be a direct result of warmer temperatures. Recent polls show that
   Australians now rate climate change as a greater threat than world terrorism.
   Regards,

So, if the water catchments are a sign of climate change, quite clearly now the climate has changed, for the better.

Using David’s method, all the cities have an abundance of water, including Melbourne which now sits at 81.5 %.

The Murray Darling Basin is now at 98%, despite being almost empty.

However, David suffers amnesia and doesn’t mention this on social media. He babbles on about how hot the interior of the country is, as if it’s never been hot before.

Earth to David, they call it a desert for a reason. And apparently, a positive IOD causing a dry winter is a first as well.

Some of the alarmists are trying to link climate change with Hurricane Sandy.

For a start off, it wasnt even a Hurricane when it struck. Its massive size was the interaction of the North Easter, and the cold air streaming in ahead of it.

So any thoughts that the warm Atlantic caused the storm to be so strong are wrong, as can be seen here by looking at the temperatures of the path that Sandy took.

Here is the track path.

And here is the graph that Bob Tisdale produced using the KNMI Explorer, showing the sea surface temps since 1938.

Not even a scintilla of warming, the trend is flat! Clearly you can see the two warm periods of the warm AMO, and the cold period during the 1960-1990 period.

Anyone who believes the Atlantic has warmed up due to Co2 has lost the ability to think, or is a complete moron.

With all the carry on about Sandy, which was massive but weak, alarmists are again embarrassing themselves with the talk of Global Warming having something to do with it.

Of course, alarmists say we have loaded the dice by driving around in 4wds and using our air cons and laptops too much.

And then, because of the storm surge, which was about as small as you would see in a hurricane, on a full lunar high tide, the media and alarmism has hit nonsensical levels.

But what they havent said is that this wasnt even the highest storm surge recorded in Southern new England.

One could be forgiven for thinking they had never had a storm surge in that area.

Anyway its best to check this out to get a perspective on the bigger and stronger hurricanes from 377 years ago.

At that time CO2 was 273ppm, well under Hansen’s safe level of 350 ppm.

And Sandy struck on a the second highest lunar tide of the year!

David Jones hasnt mentioned this on FB, i will keep you posted.
