Yesterday I reported on the latest attempt by the CCC to scare the public about worsening heatwaves.
According to PBC Today:
Now, the CCC has warned people could be at risk if action is not taken. According to the organisation, the number of deaths due to heat waves is set to more than triple by 2040. With 7,000 deaths a year expected to be attributed to deadly heatwaves, the CCC is calling on the government to act now.

Abstract: The wasted and misspent money at NASA GISS and all climate research institutions is staggering. We continue to follow the money.

Among the greatest challenges humankind has faced throughout its history, feeding the world’s hungry ranks at or near the very top of the list. And with the world’s population expected to top nine billion between 2050 and 2100, this issue will surely become even more important in the coming decades.

September 18 used to be a hot day in the US, but temperatures have plummeted over the past century.
On this date in 1925, temperatures were over 100 degrees in much of the Midwest and South.

In his recent article on WUWT titled “HADCRU Power and Temperature” Andy May refers to the challenges of modelling the atmosphere. He wrote,
The greenhouse effect (GHE), when calculated this way, shows an imbalance of 390-239=151 W/m2. Kiehl and Trenberth, 1997 calculated a similar overall forcing of 155 W/m2 using the same procedure. This GHE calculation makes a lot of assumptions, not the least of which is assuming the Earth has an emissivity of 1 and is a blackbody. But, here we want to consider the problem of using a global average temperature (T) for the Earth, which is a rotating sphere, with only one-half of the sphere facing the Sun at any one time.

As Hurricane Maria heads north as a Cat 3 storm, much is being made of the fact that it is the strongest hurricane to hit Puerto Rico since 1928. The implication is that Maria must have been exceptionally strong.

Frizzlers are always telling you what you need to do is cut back, have less children, drive smaller cars, use less energy and pay more tax and just die off, evil human, you know, because your presence is just such a pain for liberal elites to deal with. It’s all a con, a scam and nothing else.

Facts must be available in the form of irrefutable data and observations. The Earth is no laboratory where experiments can be repeated at will under well controlled conditions; on the contrary, any observations is made only once and in association with a multitude of disturbances that may or not be correlated with the target parameters. Therefore, the ability to develop and verify scientific climate theories is limited.

Large earthquakes are more likely to occur when there is a full or new moon because of the gravitational pull on tides, a new study suggests.

Arctic sea ice extent is up 40% from this date five years ago.
Greenland’s surface gained ten times as much ice as it did five years ago, and was the fifth highest on record.

Greenland’s most famous glacier, the Petermann Glacier, has grown substantially and steadily over the past five years.

Climate alarmists have finally admitted that they’ve got it wrong on global warming. This is the inescapable conclusion of a landmark paper, published in Nature Geoscience, which finally admits that the computer models have overstated the impact of carbon dioxide on climate and that the planet is warming more slowly than predicted.
