As the curtain falls on the climatological winter (December-February) of 2010-11 in the U.S., we are left shivering. For the second year in a row, the winter temperature when averaged across the contiguous United States came in below the average temperature for the 20th century.

One word that comes up over and over in the global warming issue is “uncertainty”. The alarmists tend to minimize the discussion of uncertainties while the so-called skeptics seem to harp on how uncertain we are on so many fronts.

Bye-Bye Polar Lows?

January 24th, 2011

We suspect everyone who reads World Climate Report has experienced a mid-latitude cyclone. These are the low pressure features that routinely cross the United States with warm, cold, and occluded fronts that bring us rain and snow.

Tibetan Snowpack Decreasing??

October 8th, 2010

The world is warming and the warmth is melting snow and ice in mountainous areas – seeing is believing, and finding pictures of melting snow is rather easy (just wait until spring every year)! We conducted a [...]

Raining on Boreal Forest Fires

June 14th, 2010

No presentation on global warming is complete without images of some major wildfire – from day one, the global warming alarmists have insisted that a warmer world will generate more wildfires thereby devastating ecosystems from sea to shining sea. It is an easy sell – higher temperatures will increase potential evapotranspiration, forests dry out, [...]

In Defense of Humans

April 29th, 2010

Imagine if the global annual average temperature were about 5°F colder than it is presently. Not quite sure how to? OK, consider this: During the Little Ice Age—a period extending from about the 1500s to the mid-1800s and thought to be one of the coldest periods during the past 10,000 years or so—the earth’s average [...]

Problems with the Permafrost?

March 18th, 2010

You’ve heard it a thousand times before – greenhouse gases are causing the Earth to warm, there is more warming in the Arctic than other parts of the planet, and the permafrost is melting away. Remind the world that permafrost holds carbon and methane that can be released into the atmosphere, throw in some [...]
