Mothers, teachers and police officers know when the story changes lies have been told. James Hanson had to recant his claim that 1998, “?was the warmest year in history,” when a Canadian climatologist and an American journalist reported 1930 was the hottest year in history.
From NOAA, “In the contiguous United States, the average temperature for March 2008 was 42?F, which was 0.4?F below the 20th century mean, ranking it as the 63rd warmest March on record, based on preliminary data.” In about 100 years of data collection this is not “global warming.”
There has been a very consistent cooling trend across America for the last ten years. This could be the beginning of a profound ice age of the kind the famous Russian Vostok ice core samples show happens about every 100,000 years.
There have been five such recorded cycles showing Earth is normally much cooler than it has been and North America is normally covered by ice down to Saint Louis with Chicago, Detroit and New York City under two to three miles of glacier ice.
The Vostok ice core record shows the warm period is normally only a moment in geologic time. The rise and fall are very steep curves, but this time we have a 10,000 year warm plateau. We are long overdue for a temperature collapse and the sun has started a quiet, cooler than normal phase.
If you look at the weather records of small towns across America, places where urbanization is not warming the recording instruments as has happened in most locations, you will see a clear decline since 1998.
The data are telling us that anthropogenic global warming is nonsense. Man and carbon dioxide have little to nothing to do with climate.
