Beware ‘Hottest’ Arctic Fake News

Beware ‘Hottest’ Arctic Fake News

via Current News – Principia Scientific Internationalhttp://principia-scientific.org

Above are recent examples of ‘cut and paste’ fake news. But actual current Arctic sea ice extent compares extremely favourably with the very low recorded trough of 1930-1960. As we all know, the Arctic has been experiencing a heatwave this winter, with resultant massive ice melt. This is what the new ice free Arctic looks like now:

Climate ‘Science’ cherry-picking Locations to Manufacture Warming

Climate ‘Science’ cherry-picking Locations to Manufacture Warming

via Current News – Principia Scientific Internationalhttp://principia-scientific.org

One of the greatest scientific battles today is between which temperature measurements are most accurate. There are ground measurements maintained by NOAA, NASA GISS and the Hadley CRU, and then there are satellite measurements maintained by NASA UHA.
Dr. Roy Spencer maintains a blog reporting on the satellite measurements. In reality, there are really only 2 data sources for temperature data….

Antarctica isn’t warming, but the Oceans are warming

Once again, when discussing CO2 caused climate change or global warming, the question that needs to be asked is how does CO2 cause the observation. CO2’s only defined mechanism by which to affect climate change is to absorb IR radiation between the wavelengths of 13 and 18 microns, that is it. CO2 can only cause warming by “trapping” outgoing radiation.

 

  1. Only incoming visible and ultraviolet light penetrates and warms the oceans. IR radiation does not penetrate the oceans, has very little energy and most likely results in cooling the oceans through surface evaporation.
  2. The oceans hold over 1,000x more energy than the atmosphere. There simply isn’t enough energy in the entire atmosphere to warm the oceans. The oceans are warmed by incoming radiation and geothermal sources.
  3. Warming oceans also outgas CO2 into the atmosphere. That is why CO2 lags temperature. It takes time to warm the oceans, and as the oceans warm they release CO2. That is also why CO2 falls during ice ages. Cold water absorbs more CO2. This is due to  Henry’s law and can be observed by warming a glass of Coke.
  4. The fact that the oceans are warming is evidence of more incoming high energy visible radiation reaching the earth’s surface, not evidence of CO2 trapping outgoing low energy IR.
  5. Climate models almost exclusively focus on CO2 levels and ignore incoming high energy visible radiation and atmospheric H20 levels which likely explains why they are so innacurate.
  6. What is warming the oceans is also most likely what is warming the atmosphere.

A robust sun-climate connection increasingly affirmed by scientists to confound earlier studies that place the emphasis on human emissions of so-called ‘greenhouse gases.’ 2017 is already providing a rush of peer-reviewed studies giving scientific credence to President Donald Trump’s "hoax" claims over man-made global warming.
