(CNSNews.com) The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently released its State of the Climate in 2012 report, which states that worldwide, 2012 was among the 10 warmest years on record.
But the report fails to mention [2012] was one of the coolest of the decade, and thus confirms the cooling trend, according to an analysis by climate blogger Pierre Gosselin.
To no ones surprise, the report gives the reader the impression that warming is galloping ahead out of control, writes Gosselin. But their data shows just the opposite.
Although the NOAA report noted that in 2012, the Arctic continues to warm with sea ice reaching record lows, it also stated that the Antarctica sea ice reached a record high of 7.51 million square miles on Sept. 26, 2012.
And the latest figures for this year show that theres been a slowdown of melting in the Arctic this summer as well, with temperatures at the North Pole well below normal for this time of year. Meteorologist Joe Bastardi calls it the coldest ever recorded.
The Associated Press had to retract a photo it released on July 27 with the caption, The shallow meltwater lake is occurring due to an unusually warm period.
In fact, the water accumulates in this way every summer, AP admitted in a note to editors, adding that the photo was doubly misleading because the camera used by the North Pole Environment Observatory has drifted hundreds of miles from its original position, which was a few dozen miles from the pole.
NOAA also reported that the average lower strastospheric temperature, about six to ten miles above the Earths surface, for 2012 was record or near-record cold, depending on the dataset even while the concentrations of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, continued to increase.
"Even with all this data manipulation, the trend is down as shown by this Hadley global plot," writes Joseph D'Aleo, former director of meteorology at The Weather Channel. (See D'Aleo - Real Story About Temps.pdf)
"Last year was the 8th warmest but 7th coldest since 1998. They explain it away with the predominance of La Ninas or a solar blip, but say it was the warmest decade nonetheless, so stop questioning us," he said.
On August 7th, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten quoted Irish solar expert Ian Elliott predicting that lower levels of sunspot activity over the next few years indicates that we may be on the path to a new little ice age.
If you think scientists just couldnt get any more incompetent, then think again. NOAA scientists even appear to believe that cold events are now signs of warming, Gosselin points out.
When one carefully reads the report, we find that the NOAA findings actually do confirm precisely what the skeptics have been claiming all along:
1. The Earth has stopped warming.
2. The climate models exaggerated future warming [caused by] CO2 climate sensitivity is much lower than we first thought.
Thats the real issue at hand, he added.
Paging Mr. Algore, Paging Mr. Algore....Your second chakra is shivering...
I have an idea - let’s burn some tires.
Many drones are finally starting to realize THE EMPEROR really didn’t have any clothes on. AGW is AWOL. The regulators will be moving on to water soon. That’s what these freaks do.
I think these guys have reached the Chicken Little stage but don’t realize it. Every year is the hottest ever, despite cold winters and seasonal to cool summers. People are just tuning them out - except for the Idiot in Chief and his bunch of morons.
If you ever watch the NBC Climate Change Channel, you’ll see that they have abandoned the “warming” meme and are now pushing the “climate change induced weather events” line.
Because “weather events” happen SOMEWHERE around the world every day and can be hyped. And most folks haven’t been educated enough to understand this has been going on since the beginning of time.
Dear Mr. Gore:
Please give back the Nobel prize, and the Oscar.
Thanks,
Everyone.
P.S. ...and shove a hockey stick up your arse.
Dang it! I let the wife talk me into taking our potted mango tree and plant it in the yard.
Climate change enabled life as we know it today on Earth. Planets that look like the Moon have no climate change. Climate change is required for a living planet.
We should be in the high 80s this month. We might be lucky to hit 70 today. We’ve been able to take the kids to the pool very little.
Global warming is caused be democrats burning in hell.
It may be an adventure on the Rockies in 2-6 years: things cracking, breaking and failing to produce, NIMBY hordes heading southeast with their big pensions to avoid freezing to death,... They’re already getting buggier from being shut in year round.
I want cooling. Summer in SFL SUCKS.
I feel your pain. Heh. It’s nice up here in summer (high around 50, F, today). Grew up in SE TX and trained in hot and humid climates later in the Army National Guard. Up here, though (a particularly high place just east of some peaks), one night’s temp was -39, F, last winter. That’s gettin’ mighty close to some interesting effects, so I’m planning some extra measures against disaster, just in case.
PS When we’re old, extreme cold really hurts. Yow! Taking extra measures against that, too.
