The Cooling Climate (no, really!)


I don't usually blog about the so-called Climate Crisis, but I wanted to link to a couple of webpages that I found particularly interesting today. They are both .pdfs, so you'll need Adobe Acrobat to see them.

First
: All the data sources have updated now for June. NOAA GHCN data was a clear outlier. NOAA called this the eighth warmest June on record for the globe in the 129 years since records began in 1880 with a positive anomaly of 0.5C (0.9F) for the month. The University of Alabama, Huntsville MSU satellite based global assessment reported on the other hand this June was the 9th coldest in the 30 years of record keeping. In fact, their global mean was actually below the average (base period 1979-1998) with a value of -0.11C (-0.19F). The other NASA satellite source, RSS had June as the 13th coldest out of the last 30 years.

Second
: This one concerns the solar cycles, and the absent S.C.24.

I've gotten quite the education here, and I also like this website. I've gone from someone who 8 months ago thought that Al Gore would make a good president, to someone who knows that Anthropogenic Climate Change is a fraud and a non-starter. I still am an environmentalist, however.

I'm rather pleased to belong to the crowd who does not think Gore should have won a Nobel peace prize.

It's rather disconcerting that so many sites report errors because of the sites' urbanity. Heck, I'm just 5 miles away from the city center and we are consistently cooler in my neighborhood by 1-2 degrees Celsius (2-3.5 F). Snow melts in the city, and stays on the ground here.

And the reports of the coolest summer so far make my blogpost today rather ironic. :-)
