A warmer ocean evaporates more moisture into the atmosphere — so you get worse
flooding from coastal storms (think Hurricanes Harvey and Florence). Warmer
soils evaporate more moisture into the atmosphere — so you get worse droughts
(think California or Syria). Global warming shifts the extreme upper tail of
the “bell curve” toward higher temperatures, so you get more frequent and
intense heat waves (think summer 2018 just about anywhere in the Northern
Hemisphere). Combine heat and drought, and you get worse wildfires (again,
think California).

In a study my co-authors and I recently published in the journal Science
Advances, we identified a key factor behind the rise in extreme summer weather
events (such as the ones that played out in summer 2018) that — as we
demonstrate in our study — is not captured by current generation climate
models. Using an alternative approach based on a combination of models and
real-world observations, we showed that climate change is causing the summer
jet stream to behave increasingly oddly. The characteristic continental-scale
meanders of the jet stream (its “waviness”) as it travels from west to east
are becoming more pronounced and are tending to remain locked in place for
longer stretches of time.

Under these circumstances — when, for example, a deep high-pressure “ridge”
gets stuck over California or Europe — we usually see extreme heat, drought
and wildfire. And typically there’s a deep low-pressure “trough” downstream,
stuck over, say, the eastern United States or Japan, yielding excessive
rainfall and flooding. That’s exactly what happened in summer 2018. The spate
of extreme floods, droughts, heat waves and wildfires we experienced were a
consequence of such jet stream behavior.

Our study shows that climate change is making that behavior more common,
giving us the disastrous European heat wave of 2003 (during which more than
30,000 people perished), the devastating 2011 Texas drought (during which
ranchers in Oklahoma and Texas lost 24 percent and 17 percent of their cattle,
respectively), the 2016 Alberta wildfire (the costliest natural disaster in
Canadian history) and yes, the extreme summer of 2018.

Summer wasn't extreme and "costliest" is like saying anything in 2018 cost more than it did in 1990, meaningless.

Extreme summer ? ? You smokin that funny shit again? ?

Wasnt extreme at all where I live....

But we did have an early fall frost..... too cold..... too early.. Must be that Gore Bull Whamming...

People here are already saying they miss the hot summer weather.

The probability density function (PDF) of daily atmospheric anomalies are
not Gaussian at all. This has a great influence on the probability of
extreme values, because those PDF are skewed and heavy tailed. Therefore
any conclusion derived from a Gaussian approximation will likely be
deceptive.

Dr. Michael E. Mann is Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science at Penn
State, with joint appointments in the Department of Geosciences and the Earth
and Environmental Systems Institute (EESI). He is also director of the Penn
State Earth System Science Center (ESSC). In 2012 he was inducted as a Fellow
of the American Geophysical Union and was awarded the Hans Oeschger Medal of
the European Geosciences Union. In 2013 he was elected a Fellow of the
American Meteorological Society

Sun & climate: moving in opposite directions

Climate Myth: It's the sun
"Over the past few hundred years, there has been a steady increase in
the numbers of sunspots, at the time when the Earth has been getting
warmer. The data suggests solar activity is influencing the global
climate causing the world to get warmer." (BBC)

What The Science Says:
In the last 35 years of global warming, the sun has shown a slight
cooling trend. Sun and climate have been going in opposite
directions. In the past century, the Sun can explain some of the
increase in global temperatures, but a relatively small amount.
...
Satellites have directly measured TSI since 1978.
<Loading Image...>
Figure 2: Total Solar Irradiance as measured by satellite from 1978 to 2010

As you can see, over the past 32 years, TSI has remained unchanged on
average. In the early 20th century, from about 1900 to 1950 there was
an increase in TSI from about 1365.5 to 1366 W-m-2. The change in
global temperature in response to a radiative forcing is:
[some formula]
Where 'dT' is the change in the Earth's average surface temperature,
'#' is the climate sensitivity, usually with units in Kelvin or
degrees Celsius per Watts per square meter (?C/[W-m-2]), and 'dF' is
the radiative forcing.

So now to calculate the change in temperature [...]
with a most likely value of 0.15?C

We can confirm this by comparing the calculation to empirical
observations. From 1900 to 1950 the Earth's surface temperature
warmed by about 0.4?C. Over that period, humans increased the amount
of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by about 20 parts per million by
volume. This corresponds to an anthropogenic warming of [...]
a most likely value of 0.22?C.
Therefore, the solar forcing combined with the anthropogenic CO2
forcing and other minor forcings (such as decreased volcanic activity)
can account for the 0.4?C warming in the early 20th century, with the
solar forcing accounting for about 40% of the total warming. Over the
past century, this increase in TSI is responsible for about 15-20% of
global warming (Meehl 2004). But since TSI hasn't increased in at
least the past 32 years (and more like 60 years, based on
reconstructions), the Sun is not directly responsible for the warming
over that period.

That may or may not be true, but it still won't save Mann's flawed work.

Every study stands on its data, and the data Mann used for his
reconstructions only makes hockey sticks when stripbark bristlecones are
included.

The NAS concluded that bristlecone should not be included nor used as
proxy for temperature reconstructions, yet Mann ignored that advisory.

Why? Because that's the only way he could get the stick.

The problem with your mad defensive barking is that anyone can
independently validate Climate Audit's claims.

Dat cuz they are based on facts and data, not opinion.

While yer wiping the snot off yer gob, refute these 200 hunnert

So let's see you do it. Don't rely on anything whatsoever in the lieblog, do
your own independent work. Also I am noting that McIntyre's yapping references
PAGES (2013) which clearly states;

"all regions experienced a longterm cooling trend followed by recent warming
during the twentieth century"

It also destroys the concept of global MWP and LIA;
"Our regional temperature reconstructions (Fig. 2) also show little evidence
for globally synchronized multi-decadal shifts that would mark well-defined
worldwide MWP and LIA intervals. Instead, the specific timing of peak warm and
cold intervals varies regionally, with multi-decadal variability resulting in
regionally specific temperature departures from an underlying global cooling
trend."

That may or may not be true, but it still won't save Mann's flawed work.
Every study stands on its data, and the data Mann used for his reconstructions
only makes hockey sticks when stripbark bristlecones are included.
The NAS concluded that bristlecone should not be included nor used as proxy
for temperature reconstructions, yet Mann ignored that advisory.
Why? Because that's the only way he could get the stick.
In that case why are there "more than two dozen reconstructions, using various
statistical methods and combinations of proxy records" that support Mann's
conclusions?
Don't forget the other way. Those 200 that Chumsky mentioned that supposedly
get the "opposite" answer. Any based in California will be most likely

The problem with your mad defensive barking is that anyone can independently
validate Climate Audit's claims.
So let's see you do it. Don't rely on anything whatsoever in the lieblog, do
your own independent work. Also I am noting that McIntyre's yapping references
PAGES (2013) which clearly states;
"all regions experienced a longterm cooling trend followed by recent warming
during the twentieth century"
It also destroys the concept of global MWP and LIA;
"Our regional temperature reconstructions (Fig. 2) also show little evidence
for globally synchronized multi-decadal shifts that would mark well-defined
worldwide MWP and LIA intervals. Instead, the specific timing of peak warm and
cold intervals varies regionally, with multi-decadal variability resulting in
regionally specific temperature departures from an underlying global cooling
trend."

Continuous coral reef growth since the last glacial lowstand of sea level
some 18 kyrs BP has been documented by drilling around the islands of
Barbados (Fairbanks, 1989) and Tahiti (Bard et al., 1990). In the majority
of cases investigated though, shelf reefs started to accrete not earlier
than the Holocene (< 10 kyrs BP). Holocene reef thickness and accretion-
rates exhibit large variation and can be as high as > 40 m and > 20 m/kyr,
respectively (Dullo, 2005; Montaggioni, 2005). Scoffin (1992) has summarized
how the synchronously operating processes of framework growth, bioerosion
and breakage (reef destruction), encrustation, loose sediment accumulation,
and cementation have resulted in late Quaternary reef accretion. A number of
external factors such as antecedent topography, water temperature, nutrient
concentrations, and exposure to waves and currents influence Holocene reef
growth; however, sea level appears to exert major control. Neumann and

is no stick without bristlecone, and the NAS told scientists not to

Merely pointing out that McIntyre's references don't back up his claims.
Over the years McIntyre has exposed numerous errors by the PAGES 2k
authors and their data, including proxies used upside down, record sets
with no apparent correlation to temperature (but used because they made
hockey sticks), contaminated proxies, and of course the use of
bristlecone chronologies which the NAS advises not to use.

Many of the PAGES2K errors have been corrected due to pressure by
McIntyre, that's how you know he knows his stuff.

And it's not really a global reconstruction:

Is This Really A Global, 2,000-Year Reconstruction?

The PAGES 2k temperature reconstruction utilizes proxy data from 7 land
regions, but excludes the entire continent of Africa. (Oceans, covering
71% of the Earth’s surface, are also excluded from this “global” record.)

Despite being hailed as a global-scale, 2,000-year reconstruction, just
2 of the 7 regions, the Arctic and Europe, analyzed temperatures from
the entire 0 AD to 2000 period.

Antarctica was represented beginning in 167 AD. Asia begins in 800 AD.
South America begins in 857 AD. North America proxy data begins in 1204
AD and ends in 1974 (tree rings) and 480 to 1950 (pollen). Australasia
begins in 1001 AD.

All the authors said is that their reconstructions showed little
evidence for "globally synchronized multi-decadal shifts that would mark
well-defined worldwide MWP and LIA intervals."

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

PAGES is based on land proxies (with huge holes in temporal/spatial
coverage, see above) while the article I cited is based on ocean
proxies. The authors of the article *do* find evidence that the MWP and
LIA were global events. That's how science works, new evidence leads to
new conclusions. There is no scientific theory in existence that is
safe from revision.

Your silly commentary and diversion to the MWP/LIA topic won't change
the fact that McIntyre has identified errors in Mann's work serious
enough to discredit his validity.

Dr. Roy Spencer.... *...some guy with a blog.* LOL

Roy Warren Spencer (born December 20, 1955) is a meteorologist, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) on NASA's Aqua satellite. He has served as senior scientist for climate studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.

He is known for his satellite-based temperature monitoring work, for which he was awarded the American Meteorological Society's Special Award.


Dr. Roy Spencer received his B.S. in atmospheric sciences from the University of Michigan in 1978 and his M.S. and Ph.D. in meteorology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1980 and 1982. His doctoral thesis was titled, A case study of African wave structure and energetics during Atlantic transit.

After receiving his Ph.D. in 1982, Spencer worked for two years as a research scientist in the Space Science and Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He then joined NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center as a visiting scientist in 1984, where he later became senior scientist for climate studies. After leaving NASA in 2001, Spencer has been a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). As well as his position at UAH, Spencer is currently the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) on NASA's Aqua satellite, a position he has held since 1994.

In 2001, he designed an algorithm to detect tropical cyclones and estimate their maximum sustained wind speed using the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU).

Spencer has been a member of several science teams: the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Space Station Accommodations Analysis Study Team, Science Steering Group for TRMM, TOVS Pathfinder Working Group, NASA Headquarters Earth Science and Applications Advisory Subcommittee, and two National Research Council (NRC) study panels.

He is on the board of directors of the George C. Marshall Institute, and on the board of advisors of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation.

Spencer's research work is funded by NASA, NOAA, DOE, and the DOT as well as by Peabody Energy.

If the climate movement ever wants to be taken seriously, the best thing it
could do is stop referring to Mann as a climate authority.  His reputation
among the research community is lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut.

State, with joint appointments in the Department of Geosciences and the Earth

SourceWatch is a propaganda site funded by an extreme left-wing, anti-capitalist and anti-corporate organization, the Center for Media and Democracy.

Your shit smear article is only worth flushing down the toilet with other shit. My time is more valuable than wasting it with leftist shit smear.

When you post something half ways intelligent... I'll say something about it..

Dr. Spencer happens to be a very highly respected award winning scientist.

Dr. Richard Spencer is a meteorologist... He's a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) on NASA's Aqua satellite. He has served as senior scientist for climate studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.

He is known for his satellite-based temperature monitoring work, for which he was awarded the American Meteorological Society's Special Award.

Spencer received a B.S. in atmospheric sciences from the University of Michigan in 1978 and his M.S. and Ph.D. in meteorology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1980 and 1982. His doctoral thesis was titled, A case study of African wave structure and energetics during Atlantic transit.

After receiving his Ph.D. in 1982, Spencer worked for two years as a research scientist in the Space Science and Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He then joined NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center as a visiting scientist in 1984, where he later became senior scientist for climate studies. After leaving NASA in 2001, Spencer has been a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). As well as his position at UAH, Spencer is currently the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) on NASA's Aqua satellite, a position he has held since 1994.

In 2001, he designed an algorithm to detect tropical cyclones and estimate their maximum sustained wind speed using the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU).

Spencer has been a member of several science teams: the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Space Station Accommodations Analysis Study Team, Science Steering Group for TRMM, TOVS Pathfinder Working Group, NASA Headquarters Earth Science and Applications Advisory Subcommittee, and two National Research Council (NRC) study panels.

He is on the board of directors of the George C. Marshall Institute, and on the board of advisors of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation.

Spencer's research work is funded by NASA, NOAA, DOE, and the DOT as well as by Peabody Energy.

https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Roy_Spencer#By_climate_scientists_-_fatally_flawed_study

"Errors identified by climate scientists "...range from the trivial (using the
wrong units for the radiative flux anomaly), to the serious (treating clouds
as the cause of climate change, rather than resulting from day-to-day weather;
comparing a 10 year observational period with a 100 year model period and not
allowing for the spread in model outputs)."

"Within three days of the publication of Spencer & Braswell 2011, two climate
scientists (Kevin Trenberth & John Fasullo) repeated the analysis and showed
that the IPCC models are in agreement with the observations, thus refuting
Spencer & Braswell’s claims. An independent analysis by Andrew Dessler also
confirms the Trenberth & Fasullo result."

In Sept 2011 Remote Sensing editor-in-chief Wolfgang Wagner resigned, saying
that the paper should not have been published - that while "[peer review is]
supposed to be able to identify fundamental methodological errors or false
claims (…) the paper by Spencer and Braswell that was recently published in
Remote Sensing is most likely problematic in both aspects and should therefore
not have been published"

[current target] is just a stinking pile of hate and profanity.
Why would someone have a sensitive hate-detector?

How badly mis-calibrated might a hate-detector become with over-use?

[Ask Kymmie about the difference between accuracy an precision ... oh,
wait ... maybe ask 14.00000000000 other people instead.]

Why would someone feel a need to make frequent mentions of their
perceptions of hate in others?

But does it really matter?

I mean, never once has any hysterical "Global Warming"
freak even told us what the temperature is supposed to
be. And nobody has ever attempted to map out any
alternative to this "Global Warming" as "Climate Change"
is an inescapable fact of nature. And, finally, nobody
has made a halfway decent case that "Global Warming"
would even be bad! Yet, all the so called arguments
are based on the erroneous assumption that these things
have been established as fact.

When it starts operation in September 2014 Ballerina's new electric
ferry, which is yet to be named, will carry foot passengers and
cyclists between 10 stops on a 50 minute route of the waterways of
Stockholm. It will operate throughout the year, completing eight round
trips per day. The batteries will be fully charged during the ferry's
overnight stay in the harbour with two partial charging sessions
during the course of the day.

To deliver the required duty, Saft is supplying its marine battery
systems with a total energy storage capacity of 500 kWh, at 650
V. Ordered in December 2013, the Li-ion cells for the battery systems
will be manufactured at Saft's facility at Nersac with delivery of the
entire energy storage systems units (ESSUs) in May.

Climate change is an effect, not a cause.

Some things drive weather.

The label for the local climate is inferred from long-term weather.

If a climate is changing, it must (by definition) have weather that is
"extreme" for the *old* climate but "normal" for the *new* climate.

How big must an industrial-strength irony meter be not to break when
