Coldest Winter in 100 Years

877 new snowfall records set or tied in the USA in the last week

And that’s not all, for the week ending Dec 13th, there were 815 new snowfall records set. December 2009 is shaping up to be quite the snowmaker.

Just do me a favor. On any day this winter that sets a new low for your area, go outdoors in shorts and a t-shirt for twenty minutes and repeat, "this is an effect of global warming" over and over out loud. Loud enough for anyone walking by to hear you.

This is what we call raw data Ed. By the time climatologists get through with it, the temp. will be 34 degrees. Amazing considering it snowed and all.

You may dishonestly call it "raw" data, but honest people would call it CHERRY PICKED data.

Ed, your mixing temp data with snowfall data. I would expect that type of activity in a global cooling trend. Things tend to be in extremes during such a period.

I could be wrong, but it does seem that most qualified scientists hanging on to the AGW religionist doctrine are those who are dependent on that doctrine for their funding. And it seems that very few, if any, qualified scientists who are not dependent on AGW for their funding are jumping on that band wagon.

Going with the scientific theory that the Earth/universe is somewhere between four and five billion years old, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that we have been keeping weather/climate records for a period of time almost too small to measure within that incredibly long time span. That is probably why there is record cold and record heat reported somewhere in the USA as well as elsewhere in the world every single year. Such records cannot be proved to be records except for the very brief period that we have been keeping such records.

Also most credible scientists acknowledge that there have been dramatic spikes in global heat and global cooling from time to time both as recorded and as determined from the fossil records, but there has been an overall warming trend that has been occurring since the last ice age and will continue until we start the normal cycle into the next one.

All credible scientists agree that warm periods are much better for humankind and most wildlife than are cool periods. It is uncertain whether CO2 creates the warming periods or if there is increased CO2 because of the warming periods. There are accounts of much cooler periods where the CO2 was much higher than it is right now. There is a great deal of disagreement whether human generated CO2 has much effect on the overall climate at all, and even more disagreement whether we should be trying to do anything about it even if it is. If we are slowing the time to the next ice age, that would be a very good thing for us.

For me the bottom line is that I am as dependent as the rest of you on what I read and hear re global warming and I don't know whether humankind can significantly affect global climate. I think the preponderance of the evidence so far is that it cannot, but I do try to keep an open mind.

That open mind does not include rolling over and accepting without question a consensus from politicians who want to take greater control over our lives and assets or from scientists who are dependent on human created global warming for their funding.

If I am going to willingly give up my freedom, choices, options, opportunities for AGW, I want to know that it is based on credible solid science and not some junk science being manipulated for less than noble reasons. And I will need solid evidence that the AGW theories are correct before I will agree to dooming millions of the world's poorest to more generations of crushing poverty all in the name of an AGW religion.

No, it is you who is trying to equate record snowfall with record cold. You don't have to have record cold to get snow. Record snowfall in winter only equates to the moisture in the air.

Despite record drought, Australian farmers refuse to buy into climate change - washingtonpost.com

Australians are on the front lines in experiencing the life-altering consequences of climate change, which is the subject of global scrutiny this week at the international climate summit in Copenhagen. Brush fires killed 173 people earlier this year during the most severe heat wave in the history of southeast Australia. Rising temperatures and declining rainfall are, with increasing frequency, transforming the Outback into a crematorium for kangaroos, livestock and farm towns.

Actually it does equate just fine, if the snow fall is in the southern half of the map.

The average June-August 2009 summer temperature for the contiguous United States was below average – the 34th coolest on record, according to a preliminary analysis by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. August was also below the long-term average. The analysis is based on records dating back to 1895

August was also below the long-term average. The analysis is based on records dating back to 1895

The big picture view continues to be enlightening:

D.C. resident John Lockwood was conducting research at the Library of Congress and came across an intriguing Page 2 headline in the Nov. 2, 1922 edition of The Washington Post: "Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt."
The 1922 article, obtained by Inside the Beltway, goes on to mention "great masses of ice have now been replaced by moraines of earth and stones," and "at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared."

"This was one of several such articles I have found at the Library of Congress for the 1920s and 1930s," says Mr. Lockwood. "I had read of the just-released NASA estimates, that four of the 10 hottest years in the U.S. were actually in the 1930s, with 1934 the hottest of all."
Inside the Beltway - Washington Times

I hunted up the above source after receiving an unsourced e-mail today that reports part of that 1922 article as this:

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in
some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a
report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at
Bergen , Norway . Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers
all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto
unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions
report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees
29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf
stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by
moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many
points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals
and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals
of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north,
are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few
years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and
make most coastal cities uninhabitable.

What's your opinion that at least some scientists were predicting in 1922 what they are predicting now?

North America and most of the Antarcia regions, where 80% of the ice cap was growing.

You chart states a "1971 - 2000" base period.

Now satellite data has only been available since about 1979.


Hmmm...perhaps this base period is based upon highly selective temp. data?


....hide the decline!!!!!

Another interesting thing about the map is NO DATA for Antarctia or Arctic regions. This is satellite based correct? Why the missing data?

 

[The T]

Indeed. Here in Florida...a good portion of the State has been waking up to temps in the low-mid 20's, and not making it much above 40 during the day.

Not sure how they came up with this "map" as satellite data was not available prior to 1979.

What it is more likey was a hastily put together graphic with a pre-determined outcome that is then released en masse to the press to further push the flat-earth warmer agenda. Much like the "2009 to be among warmest years ever" press release where "scientists" "projected" that 2009 was gonna be a real warm year and this release came right before the start of Copenhagen.

Of course Copenhagen bombed due in part to the very cold temps that surrounded the conference and the publics' increasing willingness after climategate to call bullshit to the whole crackpotter theory.

Still can't prove it's man's fault. Particularly since droughts happened and heat waves and cold snaps before man was even here and far worse.

So quit screaming the sky is falling, and let go of the green swastika, Global enviro-fascism will not save you.
