Sea Level Rise Alarm Turned Off? NOAA: “Absolute Global Sea Level Rise Is Believed To Be 1.7 – Algore And Obama stop their lies?

The graphs compare the 95% confidence intervals of relative mean sea level trends for CO-OPS and global stations. Trends with the narrowest confidence intervals are based on the longest data sets. Trends with the widest confidence intervals are based on only 30-40 years of data. The graphs can provide an overarching indication of the differing rates of regional vertical land motion,  given that the absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year.  Note that they are relative sea level trends, and are not corrected for local land movement. The calculated trends for all CO-OPS stations are available as a  table in millimeters/year and in feet/century . A complete table of non-CO-OPS station trends are available as a  table in millimeters/year and in feet/century .” Hurry up and read it before this gets taken down! To be on the safe side I’ve cut out the location of interest: The full URL is:  http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/globalregional.htm

Al Gore Environmental Defense Fund raises money by lying about global warming.

Image
Global warming alarmists frequently make false and deplorable assertions to get attention and raise money, but the Environmental Defense Fund’s recent fund-raising mailer, “10 Global Warming Effects That May Shock You,” may have set a new low. The only good thing about EDF’s preposterous mailer is that it can be used to show open-minded people the difference between global warming alarmists and global warming truth-tellers.  EDF has assembled what it believes to be the 10 most powerful global warming assertions in the alarmists’ playbook. Each assertion either backfires on alarmists or has been proven false. While reading how flawed EDF’s assertions are, remember these are the very best arguments global warming alarmists can make! Open-minded readers should have very little difficulty dismissing the mythical global warming crisis after examining the top 10 assertions in the alarmists’ playbook. Alarmist Assertion #1 “Bats Drop from the Sky – In 2014, a scorching summer h

Obama Global Warming Fear Mongering threatens US 'right now' Yes Obama, Your Right Your Global Warming Fear Mongering Dose Threatens US 'Right Now

In fact, Alaska’s governor recently told me that four villages are in ‘imminent danger’ and have to be relocated,” he said, citing Gov. Bill Walker (I). “Already, rising sea levels are beginning to swallow one island community.”   “Think about that,” Obama added. “If another country threatened to wipe out an American town, we’d do everything in our power to protect ourselves. Climate change poses the same threat, right now.”   Obama’s remarks come as he gears up for a three-day tour of Alaska starting Monday.   He argued Saturday that the state is already beset by natural disasters and economic paid associated with harmful climate change.   “Alaskans are already living with its effects,” Obama said. “More frequent and extensive wildfires. Bigger storm surges as sea ice melts faster. Some of the swiftest shoreline erosion in the world – in some places, more than three feet a year.”   “Alaska’s glaciers are melting faster too, threatening tourism and adding

Obama defends Arctic drilling decision on eve of Alaska climate change trip

Image
Barack Obama  has been forced to defend his decision to allow the hunt for oil in the last great wilderness of the Arctic, on the eve of an historic visit to Alaska intended to spur the fight against climate change. The three-day tour – which will include a hike across a shrinking glacier and visits to coastal communities buffeted by sea-level rise and erosion – was intended to showcase the real-time effects of climate change. But a defensive White House was forced to push back against campaigners who accuse Obama of undermining his environmental agenda by  giving the go-ahead to Shell to drill for oil  in the Chukchi Sea, only weeks after rolling out his signature climate change plan. Obama, in his weekly address on Saturday, insisted there was no clash between his climate change agenda and  Arctic  drilling. America was beginning to get off fossil fuels, he said. But Obama went on: “Our economy still has to rely on oil and gas. As long as that’s the case, I believe we

What is the link between hurricanes and global warming? Calling Al Gore? NOAA: Hurricane Drought Hits Record 118 Months

Image
 According to the study , hurricanes in the southeast Atlantic have been increasing over the past 90 years, and there seems to be more hurricanes in "warm years," where water surface temperatures are higher than normal.                                              As of today, it has been a record 118 months since the last major hurricane struck the continental United States, according to records kept by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Hurricane Research Division , which list all hurricanes to strike the U.S. mainland going back to 1851 A major hurricane is Category 3 or higher hurrucine. The last one to strike the continental U.S. was Hurricane Wilma, which made landfall in North Carolina on Oct. 24, 2005. President Obama is the first president in 122 years, since Benjamin Harrison was in office, who has not seen a major hurricane strike the U.S. during his time in office. In a statement on its website, NOAA expres

Hillary Clinton’s absolutely authoritarian environmental policy scheme makes Barack Obama’s audacious clean energy pitch seem timid

Image
MILLENNIAL VOTERS WANT RESULTS, NOT REGULATIONS   On the campaign trail in Ames, Iowa recently, the former Secretary of State said she wanted  renewable energy  to account for 33 percent of America’s electric power by 2027, 13 percent more than the president proposed last week. “I want more wind, more solar, more advanced biofuels, more energy efficiency,” said Clinton. “And, I’ve got to tell you, people who argue against this are just not paying attention.” Her cry of more, more, more, is a bit disconcerting, considering that Obama’s plan would “wash away”  the coal industry, even though the U.S. accounts for only 15 percent of the world’s CO2 output, and even now is a global leader in renewable power, according to analysts. The 2016 GOP presidential  debaters  last week barely touched on the environment as an issue. But if they are looking to distinguish themselves from the Democrats’ draconian, government-centered policies, they may want to give free-ma

Al Gore Global Warming Alarmists Run Into Brick Wall Of Facts

alarmists must be shaking their heads in disbelief. Just when they felt they had the stars aligned to push their anti-capitalism/free enterprise agenda on the international stage and claim the power that they crave, the climate and scientists have begun to turn against them. Sydney, Australia, has snow for the first time since 1836. To put this in perspective: in 1836, Andrew Jackson was president of the United States, Victoria was a year away from being crowned Queen of England upon her 18th birthday, and Davy Crockett met his heroic end at the Alamo. Needless to say, it has been a long time since Sydney has seen snow. In other  news , the Big Island of Hawaii had snowfall in July. Not to be outdone, the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California also had snowfall this July. Antarctica set a new record for ice extent in 2014 and continues to set records for how much ice covers the oceans surrounding this southern hemisphere continent as 2015 progresses. An
