A historic multi-billion dollar flood disaster has killed at least eighteen people in Central Europe after record flooding unprecedented since the Middle Ages hit major rivers in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and Slovakia over the past two weeks. The Danube River in Passau, Germany hit the highest level since 1501, and the Saale River in Halle, Germany was the highest in its 400-year period of record. Numerous cities recorded their highest flood waters in more than a century, although in some locations the great flood of 2002 was higher. The Danube is expected to crest in Hungary's capital city of Budapest on June 10 at the highest flood level on record, 35 cm higher than the record set in 2006. The flooding was caused by torrential rains that fell on already wet soils. [...] If it seems like getting two 1-in-100 to 1-in-500 year floods in eleven years is a bit suspicious--well, it is. Those recurrence intervals are based on weather statistics from Earth's former climate. We are now in a new climate regime with more heat and moisture in the atmosphere, combined with altered jet stream patterns, which makes major flooding disasters more likely in certain parts of the world, like Central Europe. Comment: Finally we get some analysis but there is some real fighting talk here that should cause major concern, especially if you live in Central Europe. Again there is focus on the jet stream being blocked and causing an extreme weather event. So, as we have already seen with various incidents in the last few years (the devastating Russian heatwave, Pakistan floods and flooding in Australia see archives for other recent examples), these 1 in 100 year events are coming round much more frequently than that. Here the discussion focuses on major flooding twice in 11 years in central Europe. People have been warned but few care until they are devastated.
WUWT, 12th February 2011 
Atmospheric rivers are relatively long, narrow regions in the atmosphere – like rivers in the sky – that transport most of the water vapor outside of the tropics. These columns of vapor move with the weather, carrying an amount of water vapor roughly equivalent to the average flow of water at the mouth of the Mississippi River. When the atmospheric rivers make landfall, they often release this water vapor in the form of rain or snow.
Comment: There are a few trying to claim that the jet streams and atmospheric rivers are the same thing, but as it is detailed here, that is not quite correct. The ARs are like tendrils or offs-shoots from the main jet stream air currents as can be seen in the images provided here. If you have studied your Electric Universe theory properly, the light bulb should go off in your head after seeing the satellite images... Furthermore, you will recognise immediately why there is concern that extreme weather events due to erratic ARs are likely to become more common. Climate modeling EPIC FAIL – Spencer: 'the day of reckoning has arrived' WUWT, 6th June 2013 
I was aware of this story yesterday, but I didn't like the original plot, (see at the end of this post) since use of straight line linear trends doesn't accurately reflect the reality of the observation data. While it is often hard to find any reality in climate models, linear trend lines mask the underlying variance. Today, Dr. Spencer has produced a graph that I feel is representative and very well worth sharing, because it does in fact convey an EPIC FAIL speaking directly to the accuracy of an ensemble of climate models. [...]
In my opinion, the day of reckoning has arrived. The modellers and the IPCC have willingly ignored the evidence for low climate sensitivity for many years, despite the fact that some of us have shown that simply confusing cause and effect when examining cloud and temperature variations can totally mislead you on cloud feedbacks (e.g. Spencer & Braswell, 2010). The discrepancy between models and observations is not a new issue…just one that is becoming more glaring over time. [...] Now, in what universe do the above results not represent an epic failure for the models? Comment: This graph was hard to resist... Note: This graph is just a selection of 19 climate models, but 73 climate models have all failed! PM: Vltava Basin, meteorologists not to blame for floods Prague Daily Monitor, 6th June 2013 
Prague, June 5 (CTK) - Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas said yesterday the flood-related problems can be blamed neither on the Vltava Basin management nor meteorologists and Agriculture Minister Petr Bendl (both Civic Democrats, ODS) echoed his opinion.
They were reacting to various critics of the flood situation. Bendl said he will submit an analysis of the steps taken by the Vltava Basin management during the flooding to the government. Necas said the Vltava Cascade and the Vltava Basin were proceeding correctly based on the prognoses of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMU). "I want to stress that it is weather forecasting, that it is not even possible to blame the CHMU for not having guessed the amount of precipitation, it is really a very complicated thing, even though scientific and based on mathematical models," Necas said after a government meeting. Comment: There are claims this is a 500 year flood... Well, so far I have not come across anyone who predicted these European floods, not even Piers Corbyn, but I am still looking... Whatever, what concerns me is that as soon as disaster strikes the accusations start to fly, but very few are interested in the very real implications of climate change and extreme weather. Despite all the politics and talk of the non existent global warming, folk are being warned, see Evidence linking climate change to extreme weather mounts & EU body predicts more extreme weather as floods devastate central Europe. Well, so far, the weather this year for Europeans has been largely quite incredible.

Study says global warming caused by CFCs interacting with cosmic rays, not carbon dioxide WUWT, 30th May 2013 
WATERLOO, Ont. (Thursday, May 30, 2013) – Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are to blame for global warming since the 1970s and not carbon dioxide, according to new research from the University of Waterloo published in the International Journal of Modern Physics B this week.
CFCs are already known to deplete ozone, but in-depth statistical analysis now shows that CFCs are also the key driver in global climate change, rather than carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. “Conventional thinking says that the emission of human-made non-CFC gases such as carbon dioxide has mainly contributed to global warming. But we have observed data going back to the Industrial Revolution that convincingly shows that conventional understanding is wrong,” said Qing-Bin Lu, a professor of physics and astronomy, biology and chemistry in Waterloo's Faculty of Science. “In fact, the data shows that CFCs conspiring with cosmic rays caused both the polar ozone hole and global warming.” Comment: Prof. Qing-Bin Lu has been making these claims for a long time, but now the global temps are starting to dip, there may well be more focus on cosmoclimatology related theories. In fact, I think this theory provides some much needed cohesiveness and sophistication as it is easy to factor in solar activity and Earth's magnetic index that affects the abundance of cosmic rays. Of course, the recent dramatic impact of space weather and the recent increase in cosmic rays makes cosmoclimatology theory all so much more significant. So, whilst a few scientists have tried to point out some climate reality in the face of juggernaut political/scientific machinations trying desperately hard to blame the public for global warming without much success, it looks like the truth will prevail. Tim Yeo: humans may not be to blame for global warming Humans may not be responsible for global warming, according to Tim Yeo, the MP who oversees government policy on climate change. Telegraph, 29th May 2013 
The chairman of the Commons Energy and Climate Change committee said he accepts the earth's temperature is increasing but said “natural phases” may be to blame.
Such a suggestion sits at odds with the scientific consensus. One recent survey of 12,000 academic papers on climate change found 97 per cent agree human activities are causing the planet to warm. Mr Yeo, an environment minister under John Major, is one of the Conservative Party's strongest advocates of radical action to cut carbon emissions. His comments are significant as he was one of the first senior figures to urge the party to take the issue of environmental change seriously. Comment: The political backtracking has begun. French ski station to re-open slopes, in June! The Local France, 29th May 2013 
Struggling to know what to do this weekend? Well, summer is officially here so why not head to the ski slopes of the French Pyrénées? Yes, believe it or not a French ski station is reopening its doors to make the most of the unseasonal snow.
A combination of an icy winter and a chilly spring has meant that for the first time ever in the month of June, skiers will have the option of heading to the pistes in the French Pyrénées, French TV TF1 reported on Wednesday. After recent cold weather, bosses at the ski station Porte Puymorens in the Pyrénées-Orientales region of the mountain range that divides France from Spain have taken the exceptional step to re-open the slopes this weekend after they had closed them at the end of the season in April. Comment: After years of following the climate wars the sudden shift in the climate is still shocking... NO PUBLIC CLIMATE MODELS PREDICTED THIS AND WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO A SECRET PENTAGON REPORT MADE PUBLIC THAT GALVANISED THE MAKING OF THE MOVIE 'THE DAY AFTER TOMMORROW' THAT STATED THAT A SUDDEN SHIFT COULD OCCUR.... The scientific explanation given was a collapse of the Gulf stream and we have to wonder when it was reported the British Met Office held emergency meetings in mid April about what to tell farmers about spring starting (see April 2013 blog archive). According to The Observer/Guardian, THE PENTAGON MEMO STATED SUDDEN CLIMATE CHANGE COULD HAPPEN IN 15 YEARS, BUT THE MOVIE WAS EXAGGERATED TO SHOW THE SAME IMPACT IN 5 DAYS.
Update on the CLOUD experiment at CERN WUWT, 29th May 2013 
[...]
Suppose you demonstrate that cosmic rays affect the formation of clouds actually at a greater extent. What would that mean?
I believe that these experiments are significant in two respects. Firstly, because they would show a new natural source of climate change. And secondly, because it would change the understanding of anthropogenic climate change. We are well informed about greenhouse gases. But we know too little about aerosols. Also airborne particles that pass through our industry in the atmosphere. You have a cooling effect with certainty. But we have no idea how big this effect is. It might be small, but also very large. Maybe it is so large that it compensates for the effect of additional CO2 in the atmosphere. We do not know. Comment: This statement from a CERN scientist implies that some information is being hidden from the public concerning gases and vapors that work with cosmic rays to enhance the formation of condensation nuclei that eventually lead to the formation of clouds.... Maybe there is a big surprise that cosmic rays have a direct impact of counteracting CO2 in the atmosphere and therefore undermines the current rhetoric that too much CO2 causes gobal warming. The crowd of skeptics here are very suspicious and so am I.
Comparing this weekend's snow to “The Year Without A Summer” Ice Age Now, 28th May 2013 
“The last time we had snow this late (Memorial Day weekend) was back in 1816 – the year without the summer,” says reader Kenneth Lund. “And that was only 1 inch of snow. Here we're talking 34 inches !”
“Even though 1816 happened in early June, this event in 2013 was far more significant. You could subtract maybe 15 inches if it had happened on June 6th – but even then it would still be unprecedented – still over a foot at least. (considering that it was 11 days later in the season) To figure out how unusual this weekend's snowfall was, Weather Underground had to go back to 1816, the infamous 'Year without Summer.' Comment: Curious.... we are being told here that the infamous “The Year Without A Summer” in 1816 was caused by a volcanic eruption. We have had a lot of volcanic eruptions in recent years but no claims that we have seen anything disasterous. Yet, the low temperatures being recorded and expected this summer are happening at the same time that noctilucent clouds have become established as a regular feature in lower latitudes, but the cause is expained as meteoric dust... Noctilucent clouds were first discovered and linked to volcanic eruptions after Krakatoa exploded in 1883, read the reports, articles and comments in the archives... As a reminder for new website visitors, the European Space Agency warned about a massive influx of cosmic dust that they believed would peak in 2012, see archives....This is quite sensational analysis and we have to wonder why climate scientists have not made this same connection and made subsequent warnings.... I suppose the answer is that climate scientists are not being paid to see this space weather connection. Whatever, note all the other snow headlines at Ice Age Now. Spain braces for 'coldest summer in 200 years' Local Spanish News, 27th May 2013 
French weather channel Meteo has forecast that this summer will be the worst on record in Western Europe since 1816 – known by meteorological experts as “the year without summer”.
If you've been looking forward to spending your Spanish summer sunning yourself by the pool, don't pack away your winter clothes just yet. France's main weather channel has announced that there is a 70 percent chance of this summer being cold and wet across Spain, France, Portugal, Germany and Austria. Cold maritime fronts and weak solar activity during the winter months have not only given us a chillier Spanish spring than normal, they're also going to make the summer months unusually dreary and rainy. According to Meteo, June and July are only likely to have short periods of summer heat which will in turn bring heavy storms in August. The year without summer, 1816, is not an old wives' tale. Overcast skies and cold temperatures across the northern hemisphere led to severe crop failures and food shortages in France, England, Ireland and the US during the summer months of that year. Comment: Hmmm.... This year is becoming a big time climate reality check. Met Office admits claims of significant temperature rise untenable Bishop Hill, 27th May 2013 
It has been widely claimed that the increase in global temperatures since the late 1800s is too large to be reasonably attributed to natural random variation. Moreover, that claim is arguably the biggest reason for concern about global warming. The basis for the claim has recently been discussed in the UK Parliament. It turns out that the claim has no basis, and scientists at the Met Office have been trying to cover that up.
[...]The issue here is the claim that “the temperature rise since about 1880 is statistically significant”, which was made by the Met Office in response to the original Question (HL3050). The basis for that claim has now been effectively acknowledged to be untenable. Possibly there is some other basis for the claim, but that seems extremely implausible: the claim does not seem to have any valid basis. Plainly, then, the Met Office should now publicly withdraw the claim. That is, the Met Office should admit that the warming shown by the global-temperature record since 1880 (or indeed 1850) might be reasonably attributed to natural random variation. Additionally, the Met Office needs to reassess other claims that it has made about statistically significant climatic changes. Comment: This is long-winded report but important as the focus increases on the lies told by climate scientists. Those who have been telling lies are now starting to feel the heat even as global temperatures start to decline and the onset of a mini Ice Age becomes more and more obvious. Why is this important? Personally, I think the truth of an expected climatic shift that was preserved as ancient knowledge is for those who don't want to be bambozzled by frauds, liars and well meaning but wrongly informed environmentalists.
WUWT, 27th May 2013 Great moments in activist climate science – NRDC's Dr. Laurie Johnson: 'CO2 makes your car hot' Watts Up With That, 23rd May 2013 
People send me stuff. This makes Bill Nye's recent CNN fail look almost forgivable.
My friend Lars Larson, who runs a nationally syndicated radio show out of Portland, OR sent me this audio clip today. I had to listen to it to believe his claim, because who would guess that a credentialed scientist who is lecturing a national audience on climate change issues could misunderstand the greenhouse effect so badly. Here is the audio clip, with Dr. Laurie Johnson of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). Have a listen: Comment: I liked the following comment concerning a major problem in society. We have too many very stupid people with too much power threatening the survival of the whole of humanity. otropogo says:Stupid people are too stupid to see the importance of the issues... So, why are the stupid tolerated? Because stupidity rules in a stupid society where world controllers benefit from being able to easily manipulate stupid people. Now we are at a point where humanity is facing major threats, but the stupid thrive and those of us with any intelligence struggle if we don't love entertaining the truly stupid. Frankly, humanity is finished in its current manifestation. WeatherAction predicted 3 weeks ahead that Oklahoma would be targeted for storm hits 19-24 May. Worse still to come for many parts USA. WeatherAction, 23rd May 2013 
USA Major Thunder tornado and hail Oklahoma and other parts (20-23rd) were explicitly warned 3 weeks ahead in WeatherAction long range forecast – Oklahoma was explicitly highlighted.
? EVEN MORE WIDESPREAD AND MORE SERIOUS THUNDER, HAIL AND TORNADOES ARE PREDICTED FOR 25-29 MAY IN MANY PARTS OF USA – From LongRange forecast issued 30April Piers Corbyn astrophysicist of WeatherAction said: "We explicitly highlighted Oklahoma as a danger area in the period 19-24 May with tornado events warned (see right hand bar of forecast period below). Although this was a low confidence period we still got the essentials right in long range. A more widespread more serious storm period for most parts in our forecast is 25-29 May and for that reason we are now making WeatherAction USA MAY FORECAST available FREE for distribution without restriction provided WeatherAction is acknowledged, see link below. Thank you.” Comment: This is another response to the morons trying to imply that tornadoes can be invoked and steered by HAARP... If you have not worked this out yet, there are a lot of uneducated people being suckered by paid hands brainwashing them into believing that an all powerful elite class exists that have all the powers in the universe at their disposal. Rapid cooling triggered Bronze-Age collapse and Greek Dark Age Ice Age Now, 20th May 2013 Of course the politically correct verbiage is “climate change.” Between the 13th and 11th centuries BCE, most Greek Bronze Age Palatial centers were destroyed and/or abandoned throughout the Near East and Aegean, says this paper by Brandon L. Drake. A sharp increase in Northern Hemisphere temperatures preceded the wide-spread systems collapse, while a sharp decrease in temperatures occurred during their abandonment. Comment: This is an example of humans failing to adapt... US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse From Rhode Island Provides Erroneous Information To American Public in Global Warming Rant WUWT, 20th May 2013 
First, I'm sure I speak for everyone at WUWT when I say that our hearts go out to all the families in Oklahoma affected by the weather tragedy there today. In the video above US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse states that:
If Senator Sheldon Whitehouse did more reading and less ranting, he might know that Continental US Temperature Lower Troposphere (TLT) – 1979 to Present; Comment: I am sure there are going to be lots of rants about extreme weather, but telling lies about the cause for political purposes is not going to save lives and property. This article is a general debunking of those who want to blame the recent tornado outbreak on global warming and we are presented with a lot of charts and data.... As I have repeated before, we seem to be seeing extreme swings but rarely nothing we have not experienced before.Climate Scientist Hans Von Storch Warns: Climate Scientists Have Been “Taking On The Roles Of Medicine Men And Priests” NoTricksZoneNews, 18th May 2013 
What follows is a critical article written by Jens Meyer-Wellmann appearing in German national daily Die Welt that got by me a couple of weeks ago.[...]
Sebastian Lüning's and Fritz Vahrenholt's blogsite www.kaltesonne.de presented an excerpt of the Die Welt article, which I've translated in English: 'Unfortunately in climate science there is a tendency to proclaim absolute truths and to link these immediately to instructions on actions to take,' von Storch said. 'The climate pope tells us what has to be done, and for the people it's: keep your mouths shut. Scientists have been taking over the roles of medicine men and priests. That's not the job of scientists. Science is supposed to help understand problems, show the possibilities that exist in dealing with them. The best is to show many possibilities. Then the political process has to decide the path to take.' Comment: Well, for those following the climate science drama, it is evident we have reached the point where some climate scientists have turned into over-zealous cult followers using cult tactics to further the agenda. A good example is Dr James Hansen who had become a major embarrassment at NASA before he announced his retirement to the relief of many... Btw, here is the latest on Hansen: Hansen's scandalous interview (17th May 2013). Anyway, going through my archives, I found the article below that reminded me of my understanding that there are severe consequences to humanity refusing to maintain a balance with our environment. From my new FAQ page: The influx of cosmic energy seems to have a function of re-balancing human consciousness and behaviour. This can be compared to the discoveries made by ecologists and biologists where during periods of evolutionary change, any negative and malignant force that has sprung up and poses a threat to a harmonious ecosystem, becomes subject to elimination. Simply, at times of great environmental stress, the agents of stress are eliminated to restore balance. This is well explained by biologist Bruce Lipton during an interview with Laura Lee in 2004, where Lipton explains new scientific evidence provided in the journal Nature, suggests that Darwin was wrong and it is not survival of the fittest, it is what the community of organisms contribute to a well functioning ecosystem environment that matters. Lipton states that, “evolution is selected by complementarity to the environment, organisms that push the environment to extremes are ultimately eliminated from the environment”. So, what humanity fails to comprehend is that this seems to apply on a planet-wide scale. Today it is recognised that humans are having a negative impact on this planet, but traditionally, the threat of judgement by a deity for human indiscretions in general, was used by religious leaders to help apply control over other humans, it was not necessarily about encouraging higher levels of consciousness.What I am now thinking is that maybe some atheists realise that religion is useful enough to ensure certain rules are in place to stop the routine wipeouts of humanity... The only problem is that the religious leaders today have become too corrupt to even grasp the importance of why religion was invented in the first place... It's not just for personal self-aggrandisement and financial benefits... For the conspiracy theorists out there, religion was not invented back in ancient times just to control the masses...
Spiegel Trashes John Cook's Survey. Man's Impact “Remains Hotly Disputed”…Only 10% Have Faith In Models NoTricksZone, 18th May 2013 
German flagship news magazine Spiegel Online today has an article authored by Axel Bojanowski which takes a close look at the recent John Cook survey. German alarmists like the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research hailed it as proof that climate science was settled and done. But Spiegel draws a different a totally conclusion.
First Bojanowski describes how a large number of Americans have serious doubts when it comes to man-made climate change, and so surveys get conducted with the aim of trying to sway public opinion. The latest was carried out by John Cook of the University of Queensland in Australia, and the results were published in the journal of Environmental Research Letters: 97% of thousands of papers surveyed agree that climate change is man-made, it asserted. Comment: The climate wars have now descended into the realm of farce and the serious lampooning is being carried out elsewhere... I can recommend Climate Depot.... See more below:
The new mini ice age is upon us! says astrophysicist Ice Age Now, 13th May 2013 Distinguished physicist Dr. William Happer: 'The incredible list of supposed horrors that increasing carbon dioxide will bring the world is pure belief disguised as science' Harrison H. Schmitt and William Happer: In Defense of Carbon Dioxide The Hockey Schtick, 8th May 2013 
The demonized chemical compound is a boon to plant life and has little correlation with global temperature.
WSJ.COM 5/8/13: Of all of the world's chemical compounds, none has a worse reputation than carbon dioxide. Thanks to the single-minded demonization of this natural and essential atmospheric gas by advocates of government control of energy production, the conventional wisdom about carbon dioxide is that it is a dangerous pollutant. That's simply not the case. Contrary to what some would have us believe, increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will benefit the increasing population on the planet by increasing agricultural productivity. [...] The current levels of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere, approaching 400 parts per million, are low by the standards of geological and plant evolutionary history. Levels were 3,000 ppm, or more, until the Paleogene period (beginning about 65 million years ago). For most plants, and for the animals and humans that use them, more carbon dioxide, far from being a "pollutant" in need of reduction, would be a benefit. Comment: At this moment, I am still considering the evidence that the desperation to remove CO2 from our atmosphere is related to the deluge of charged particles from space. Even though scientists have tried to blame the increase of CO2 on human activity and a release of trapped CO2 from the oceans, the desperation suggests other worldly concerns and I am not satisfied I know everything there is to know on this matter. Tornado spike in 2011 attributed to climate change. So what to make of this year's tornado drought? Chron News, 3rd May 2013 
As informed citizens, we need to be careful about conflating weather, climate change and natural disasters.
Weather (i.e. the extreme cold we're having in Texas this spring) is weather. Climate is the measurement of long-term weather data over broad areas (i.e. global temperatures over a 50 year period). For most people, these are pretty easy distinctions to make. But the issue becomes more complicated when it comes to natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts and tornadoes. About 18 months ago the much-maligned IPCC released a report that takes a pretty balanced view of climate and natural disasters, concluding that weather extremes are probably affected by climate change, but generally stops short of saying global warming is the main driver. Comment: As climate scientists admit, there is not really many with a deep understanding of the cause of weather or the cause of weather extremes. It seems that here the tornado weather data has gone from one extreme to the other i.e. flood to drought and the 'experts' have revealed their utter ignorance of why. Thankfully, there are a few astrophysicists who do pay attention to sun-earth connections and space weather, so they can provide good predictions of what we should expect.
Alaskans alarmed at Russian specter of 'global cooling' Alaska Dispatch, 3rd May 2013 
Snow fell on the Anchorage Hillside again Thursday. The National Weather Service was forecasting up to an inch by the end of the day. And for Alaskans wishing for spring, the news just kept getting wors
May arrived and most of Alaska's rivers are still locked in ice," the dastardly federal agency reported on its Facebook page. "NWS staff and river observers collect ice thickness data around the first day of each month during the winter. However, except on the North Slope and northwest Alaska, ice is typically gone or unsafe for measurements by the start of May. "Not so this remarkably backwards spring. Ice thickness and snow on the ice at nearly all measured locations in the central Interior was THICKER than at the start of April. " Yes, that's right. At a time when Alaska should be starting into breakup there isn't even a sign of it. Comment: It's simple, Ice Ages start when snow remains at the end of each summer.
San Jose State University Meteorology decides burning books they don't agree with is better than reading them Watts Up With That, 2nd May 2013 
From the Fahrenheit 451 department comes this indictment of California's higher education's “tolerance” for opposing views. When I first got the tip on this, I thought to myself “nobody can be this stupid to photograph themselves doing this” but, here they are, right from the San Jose State University Meteorology Department web page:
The caption from the SJSU website reads: Maybe they just can't help themselves, note the pictures on the wall. Comment: Well, since I love books, for me book burning is an extreme measure.... In January, my utter disgust at some New Age fraud copying a section of my book and pretending it was part of a channeled message was enough for me to suggest that if you burn a New Age book, at least you will know for a fact that the warmth is genuine.... With the frustration that climate alarmists are feeling due to their belief in global warming, burning the books of climate skeptics must be their way of generating some heat because it is fact that Earth has not warmed for 16 years and the disconnect with reality is sending some over the edge... CO2 Warmism denounced and Insurance Industry conference warned of Mini Ice Age events. Weatheraction.com, 26th April 2013
In his dynamic presentation - complete with globe and moveable Jet-Stream - to Sterling Insurance Industry "Claims Day" conference 17th April, Kings Hill, West Malling Kent, Piers Corbyn pointed-out the systematic failings and fraud of the CO2 warmist approach and argued the whole insurance industry needed to get to grips with Real Climate Change as now upon the world in the form of the developing Mini-Ice-Age.
Piers showed how the CO2-based Climate Change proposition was "delusional nonsense" which had failed in ALL its predictions and whose protagonists now "just make up explanations as they go along". He specifically attacked Sir John Beddington's recent 'warm is cold' cant on the BBC, pointing out: 1. There is no evidence in the real world for the CO2-driver proposition but that reality is the reverse and that world (sea) temperatures drive CO2 levels in the long run; and Sir John has been challenged (**VIDEOS below) to come up with evidence of his absurd claims. 2. If CO2 really did drive the recent Sea Ice changes and cold Spring which was in fact predicted well in advance in detail by WeatherAction's Solar-Lunar based theory then it must be the case that mankind's trivial contribution to levels of the trace gas CO2 are driving solar events (which were also predicted by WeatherAction) - which is absurd beyond belief! On the Association of British Insurers (ABI) continuing adoption of Global Warmist assertions Piers pointed out that the current CO2-Warmist expectation of more and worsening summer floods and 'warm makes cold' snowy events came from the same people who predicted ongoing droughts, barbecue summers, 'runaway warming' and the end of snow in UK by 2010. "They just make it up", said Piers, "and only now say these things because that is what is happening to the weather while CO2 still rises.

The Voice of Russia, 22nd April 2013 
Global warming which has been the subject of so many discussions in recent years, may give way to global cooling. According to scientists from the Pulkovo Observatory in St.Petersburg, solar activity is waning, so the average yearly temperature will begin to decline as well. Scientists from Britain and the US chime in saying that forecasts for global cooling are far from groundless. Some experts warn that a change in the climate may affect the ambitious projects for the exploration of the Arctic that have been launched by many countries.
Just recently, experts said that the Arctic ice cover was becoming thinner while journalists warned that the oncoming global warming would make it possible to grow oranges in the north of Siberia. Now, they say a cold spell will set in. Apparently, this will not occur overnight, Yuri Nagovitsyn of the Pulkovo Observatory, says.

Delingpole on the global warming scam: "[it] was based on the largest confection of lies in junk science history...it was mainly the fault of scientist-manque arts graduates too easily impressed by men in white lab coats" Telegraph Delingpole, 23rd April 2013 
Now that global warming is completely unravelling, I want to elaborate on a point I made a few blogposts back about the role of humanities graduates in this great debate.
On the face of it, their record isn't good. Some of the most influential promulgators of climate nonsense have been arts graduates – among them Bryony Worthington (the FoE activist turned peer responsible for the Climate Change Act), the BBC's Roger Harrabin and a fair few of the Guardian's 2,800-strong Environment Department. I think future historians – looking back on this period of mass hysteria in which so many people were persuaded by and so much expensive, damaging policy was based on the largest confection of lies in junk science history – could put together a reasonably persuasive thesis that it was mainly the fault of scientist-manque arts graduates too easily impressed by men in white lab coats. Comment: I suppose the real issue is people who employ persuasion tactics rather than reason need to be considered as dangerous..
Mother Of German Green Weeklies, Die Zeit, Shocks Readers…Now Casts Doubt On Global Warming! NoTricksZone, 19th April 2013
After a foray in a cult, one of the first steps on the path back to reality is the process of deprogramming. Could it be that this step is now being self-administered by the German mainstream media? It appears so.
Now that the global mean temperature curve has drifted out of and below the IPCC's projected range, panic is breaking out. The mother of German green weeklies, Die Zeit, appears to be taking measurements at the back of the house in preparation for the installation of a back door! Rahmstorf is back there with them, trying to talk them out of it. Comment: The opening sentence here is quite a statement, something that others have pointed out is imperative for former global warming believers. Deprogramming implies what is commonly called 'brainwashing' (see How Brainwashing Works). It can be most simply defined as persuasion by propaganda or salesmanship. According to Rick Ross at the Cult Education website ( www.rickross.com), deprogramming encourages critical thinking, objective reasoning and logical analysis. There is no indoctrination into another belief system. Simply, the need to deprogram people who believed global warming propaganda is necessary because it is not possible to just walk away from false beliefs provided by the popular media and greenie zealots on a mission. In order to understand the mindset various articles have been written over the years that help to demonstrate that this is a serious issue, see my Best of the Blog archive Environmentalism as Religion . EU Refuses to Resuscitate Its Dying Carbon Market The American Interest, 16th April 2013 
The European Parliament just voted down a measure that would have attempted to revive its carbon market, likely dooming it to a slow and undignified death. This was a last-ditch effort to drive the EU's carbon price back to a level that would incentivize green reforms. And it failed. [...]
The EU has been the global laboratory testing the green agenda to see how it works. Today's story means that the guinea pig died; the most important piece of green intervention in world history has become an expensive and embarrassing flop. It's hard to exaggerate the importance of this for environmentalists everywhere; if the EU can't make the green agenda work, it's unlikely that anybody else will give it a try.

Is the UK heading for ANOTHER Arctic winter? Met Office calls emergency meeting to discuss if melting ice is causing Britain to freeze Daily Mail, 11th April 2013 
* Dr Julia Slingo at the Met Office calling a meeting of world climate experts* She is concerned melting Arctic ice is causing Britain's climate to change * Comes after lowest April temperature for nearly 100 years was recorded Britain's winters are getting colder because of melting Artic ice changing global weather patterns, the Met Office has claimed. Forecasters are concerned that high levels of ice melt in the Arctic in recent years could be behind Britain's increasingly bitter and longer winters. The organisation's leading climate change expert, Dr Julia Slingo, is to convene experts from around the world to establish whether this explains why Britain has been experiencing the coldest temperatures for almost 100 years. Comment: Hmmm.... It seems there is some real climate science panic taking place and we know for a fact the UK Met Office does not have a clue, see FOIA obtained Met Office document shows them to be clueless about what affects our climate, and, in particular, what caused the unusual weather last year. But the climate crisis comes on the heels of a campaign by climate scientists characterised by fraud, vitriol and lies with even senior Met Office personnel making wild claims about global warming. Meanwhile, those who really understand how to predict the weather have already worked out how to take space weather into account, see archives for more background info Climate Science, Politics & Climategate. For those with businesses that are reliant on the weather. I can recommend Piers Corbyn, who at least gives me some faith that there are people who don't live on planet cloud cuckoo. As usual, Piers is undiplomatic and states: "I think the BBC, Met Office and the Science establishment of the UK know their CO2 warmism 'theory' is a pack of lies; either that or they have degenerated into a desperate religious sect for which belief rules over evidence. Now is the time to expose their delusions and call them to account." link An English class for trolls, professional offence-takers and climate activists Telegraph Delingpole Blog, 7th April 2013

More comment here The battle of the pointless Nuremberg insults: Romm -vs- Delingpole Meteorologist Joe Bastardi: The Whole CO2 “Argument Is Tiresome And Absurd…Warmists Living In A Fantasy World” notrickszone.com, 7th April 2013 
CO2 is too trivial of a factor
The major problem is the people driving this train refuse to humble themselves to the majesty of the atmosphere. The sheer weight of numbers against CO2 causing this is staggering. The oceans have 1000 times the heat capacity of the atmosphere, CO2 1/2500th of the gas blanket that makes our Earth livable, man – according to the US Dept of Energy – is only responsible for 1/20th of that, meaning 1/50,000th of the air is “man-made”. Actually it's merely man-recycled, for there has been no introduction of new CO2 to the system that I know of. What we've put into the air has always been a part of the system, it's just recycled. [...] Quiet sun is a wild card – poses a threat The explanation to all this is no different than you sitting in a sauna. Turn up the thermostat (natural ocean cycles) and it will heat until it reaches what the thermostat dictates. Arguing that turning on the light (the CO2 influence) is what heated the sauna is absurd. The wild card in this is the sun, which I am concerned is going to be a much bigger problem (believe me with the lunacy of the energy policies globally, a return to my temps is already a huge problem in itself, but the sun falling asleep would be worse). Comment: I suppose many realise that the desperation by world controllers to remove excessive CO2 from the atmosphere has nothing to do with global warming (we know the link is spurious and unproven), but usually the belief is to do with a poor excuse for more power to control the masses... I think there are othe generally unknown reasons that are either very practical or very esoteric. I think the most esoteric is a desire to ward off an inevitable sign of a permanent atmospheric change, what I have been calling the atmospheric Earth status of 'Paradise' associated with a highly charged electrical environment. Since billions have been invested in flawed climate models and campaigning to persuade the public to go along with the fantasy climate science, it just makes me wonder why others have not thought about this more deeply... Global Warming: Was It Just A Beautiful Dream After All? Forbes News, 3rd April 2013 
Like most of you, I yearn for shorter winters, more shirt-sleeve weather, less lashing from frigid winds. As a confirmed New Yorker, I'm not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City.
But I've grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I'm 68, and there's still no sign of warmer weather. It's enough to make one doubt the “settled science” of the government-funded doom-sayers. Comment: Hilarious... Climate skeptics are wondering if we are seeing a full scale retreat in the mainstream media...Lots of headlines at Climate Depot. Marc Morano: 'The great warmist retreat has officially begun. The mainstream media cannot maintain the official man-made global warming narrative any longer' Well, I Told ya so... I am waiting for the day when it becomes undeniable that the real issue is space weather... Climatologists are no Einsteins, says his successor New Jersey News, 3rd April 2013 
[...] “I just think they don't understand the climate,” he said of climatologists. “Their computer models are full of fudge factors.”
A major fudge factor concerns the role of clouds. The greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide on its own is limited. To get to the apocalyptic projections trumpeted by Al Gore and company, the models have to include assumptions that CO-2 will cause clouds to form in a way that produces more warming. “The models are extremely oversimplified,” he said. “They don't represent the clouds in detail at all. They simply use a fudge factor to represent the clouds.” Comment: Due to Space Weather and Earth being flooded with charged particles from space because of changes in the cosmic environment and Earth's weakening magnetosphere (cosmic magnetic shielding), it is inevitable that Earth's weather and climate is being affected. The problem is that space weather means all the previous assumptions that help us to predict weather and climate need to be re-examined and a new understanding of fundamentals is required. Yet, it seems a few astrophysicists are taking up the challenge, see archives. Meanwhile, those scientists still stuck in the old paradigm are being humiliated as climate reality strongly diverges from their theories and predictions.
The New Fake Climate 'Hockey Stick' Explained & Debunked We're not screwed? Financial Post, 1st April 2013 
11,000-year study's 20th-century claim is groundless
On March 8, a paper appeared in the prestigious journal Science under the title A reconstruction of regional and global temperature for the past 11,300 years. Temperature reconstructions are nothing new, but papers claiming to be able to go back so far in time are rare, especially ones that promise global and regional coverage.
The new study, by Shaun Marcott, Jeremy Shakun, Peter Clark and Alan Mix, was based on an analysis of 73 long-term proxies, and offered a few interesting results: one familiar (and unremarkable), one odd but probably unimportant, and one new and stunning. The latter was an apparent discovery that 20th-century warming was a wild departure from anything seen in over 11,000 years. News of this finding flew around the world and the authors suddenly became the latest in a long line of celebrity climate scientists. The trouble is, as they quietly admitted over the weekend, their new and stunning claim is groundless. The real story is only just emerging, and it isn't pretty. [...] The new, and startling, feature of the Marcott graph was at the very end: Their data showed a remarkable uptick that implied that, during the 20th century, our climate swung from nearly the coldest conditions over the past 11,500 years to nearly the warmest. Specifically, their analysis showed that in under 100 years we've had more warming than previously took thousands of years to occur, in the process undoing 5,000 years' worth of cooling. This uptick became the focus of considerable excitement, as well as scrutiny. One of the first questions was how it was derived. Comment: I changed the headline to reflect what this article is about. This is an excellent summary but I had plenty of articles and climate commentators to choose from as this piece of peer reviewed climate science is being viewed as having cross the line into scientific misconduct, and has ignited a firestorm of criticism, see more below.
Climate Policies Increase Risk of Blackouts WUWT, 1st April 2013 
[...] What is certain, however, is that global warming policies are greatly increasing the chances of electricity blackouts, and here the effects can be predicted confidently – they will be sudden and severe. [...]
The real threat to humanity today is not the theoretical dangers from gradual man-made global warming. A far bigger real danger is the growing threat to reliable electricity supplies from deep-green climate policies. The most reliable electricity supplies come from coal, gas, hydro, nuclear, geothermal or oil. Misguided politicians and uncompromising nature are conspiring to ensure that few of these will be available to generate Australia's future electricity. [...] Therefore, if we continue to allow green zealots to dictate our electricity generation, blackouts are inevitable. Britain and Germany already face this grim prospect. Comment: I don't think this article is scaremongering because politicians in the UK have already told us that electricity supplies are going to become scarce... see all the article links provided here and archives. Climate Maverick to Quit NASA New York Times, 1st April 2013 
James E. Hansen, the climate scientist who issued the clearest warning of the 20th century about the dangers of global warming, will retire from NASA this week, giving himself more freedom to pursue political and legal efforts to limit greenhouse gases.
His departure, after a 46-year career at the space agency's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in Manhattan, will deprive federally sponsored climate research of its best-known public figure. At the same time, retirement will allow Dr. Hansen to press his cause in court. He plans to take a more active role in lawsuits challenging the federal and state governments over their failure to limit emissions, for instance, as well as in fighting the development in Canada of a particularly dirty form of oil extracted from tar sands. “As a government employee, you can't testify against the government,” he said in an interview.

Scientist predicts Earth is heading for another Ice Age AS Arctic Britain prepares to shiver for at least another month, a leading scientist today predicted the world was heading for another Ice Age. The Express, 28th March 2013 
Incredibly, British Summer Time officially starts tomorrow but millions of brassed off Brits pining for warmth will have to endure freezing temperatures and biting winds until May.
The misery will continue with daytime temperatures struggling to reach a bracing 5C (41F). The only ray of sunshine, forecasters said, is that it will stay dry.
As if the outlook wasn't bleak enough already, meteorologists believe the shivering start to 2013 has been the coldest in more than 200 years. More worryingly, the combination of sub-zero temperatures and heavy snow experienced across much of the country recently could be the prelude to a new Ice Age that will begin next year and last for 200 years. Russian scientist Dr Habibullo Abdussamatov, of the St Petersburg Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory, painted the Doomsday scenario saying the recent inclement weather simply proved we were heading towards a frozen planet.

Trend To Colder Winters Continues in UK WUWT, 23rd March 2013 
Figures released by the Met Office show the UK mean temperature for the 2012/13 winter finishing at 3.31C. This is below the long term 1981-2010 average of 3.83C.
The winter ranked 43rd coldest since 1910, and continues the trend towards colder winters. In the last five years, only 2011/12 has been above the 1981-2010 average. The average over these five years has been 3.03C.
Interestingly, the average winter temperature for 1911-2013 stands at 3.52C, so by 20thC standards the last few years have been genuinely cold. The mild winters between 1998 and 2008 increasingly look to be the exception rather than the rule, as Figure 2 shows clearly. [...] It seems it is not just the UK that has had a run of cold winters. NoTricksZone reports that Germany has had exactly the same run of 5 cold winters, and, as they point out, what applies to Germany usually applies to much of Central Europe. Comment: Due to huge pressures to convince the public that global warming and climate change were caused by human activities, claims were made that “snow will be something of the past”… See quote below and article source Snowjobs are just a thing of the past…er, present, where we read amongst other similar quotes from climate alarmists: BUT NOAA is now blaming the natural variation caused by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and state, “The AMO has affected air temperatures and rainfall over much of the Northern Hemisphere, in particular, North America and Europe.” in the NOAA FAQ we read: What is the AMO?According to comments at WUWT, the AMO peaked in about 2002 and we can expect increasing cold for the next 15 years.... So, all the shilling about global warming and children not knowing what snow is (like many children in Africa) was just a load of rubbish? These heavy snow falls and threat of gas rationing in the UK is just a huge dose of climate reality...
Weather Service chief: We face 'new normal' of extremes USA Today, 28th March 2013 
Wild weather in recent years -- from Hurricane Sandy and deadly tornado outbreaks to extremes of drought and floods -- likely can be traced, in part, to climate change, the National Weather Service director says.
Comment: Of course climate realists don't agree, here is the response at Climate Depot, New Report: 'Extreme Weather Report 2012': 'Latest peer-reviewed studies, data & analyses undermine claims that current weather is 'unprecedented' or a 'new normal' & UK MPs are gloating that they voted against the 2008 Climate Change Bill and that the dissenters have now been proved right, see Even scientists are cooling on climate change. Atmospheric scientists have already told us that space weather is directly affecting the weather and Prof. Paul Song, who directs UMass Lowell's Center for Atmospheric Research states, “Predicting space weather is the next frontier in weather forecasting”.

New paper corroborates Svensmark's theory of cosmoclimatology Hockey Schtick, 21st March 2013 A paper published today in the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics finds "strong evidence" of a link between thunderstorm and solar activity in Brazil from 1951-2009. According to the authors, thunderstorm "behavior with respect to the 11-year solar cycle suggest a global mechanism probably related to a solar magnetic shielding effect acting on galactic cosmic rays as an explanation for the relationship of thunderstorm and solar activity," which would corroborate Svensmark's theory of cosmoclimatology. Atmospheric electricity affects cloud height Space Daily, 12th March 2013 
For decades, scientists have argued over whether there is a link between cosmic rays and cloud cover, which in turn could affect climate. Now two atmospheric physicists in the UK have discovered that global atmospheric electricity - which itself is altered by cosmic rays, space weather and El Nino - affects the base height of certain types of clouds.
"Electric currents flow continuously throughout much of the atmosphere because of the global atmospheric electric circuit, and these currents sometimes pass through clouds," explains Giles Harrison, who along with Maarten Ambaum did this latest study at the University of Reading. [...] Global atmospheric electricity exhibits a daily cycle, hitting a minimum at around 03:00 GMT and peaking at roughly 19:00 GMT - when activity is high in thunderstorm hotspots such as Africa and North America. This cycle was discovered in the early 20th century on board a ship operated by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. This variation is known as the Carnegie curve, or as Harrison puts it more poetically, "the fundamental electrical heartbeat of the planet". [...] "The implications are that factors affecting currents flowing in the atmosphere - such as thunderstorms, cosmic rays and Pacific Ocean temperatures - may have distant effects on droplet properties in cloud bases," says Harrison. "Particularly interesting is the possibility that space weather changes could affect weather in the lower atmosphere." Comment: I believe there is a paradigm shift taking place as scientists are being forced to recognise the influence of Earth being flooded by highly charged particles from space at a time when Earth's magnetic field has become less reliable. Due to space weather, atmospheric scientists can no longer ignore the electrical interactions between Earth and outer space and finally old outdated ideas concerning weather and climate are being shoved aside. Finally, the reality of the electromagnetic force ruling the heavens is being acknowledged. Climategate 3.0 has occurred – the password has been released WUWT News, 13th March 2013

March 10, 2013: Vegetation growth at Earth's northern latitudes increasingly resembles lusher latitudes to the south, according to a NASA-funded study based on a 30-year record of ground-based and satellite data sets.
In a paper published Sunday, March 10, in the journal Nature Climate Change, an international team of university and NASA scientists examined the relationship between changes in surface temperature and vegetation growth from 45 degrees north latitude to the Arctic Ocean. Results show temperature and vegetation growth at northern latitudes now resemble those found 4 degrees to 6 degrees of latitude farther south as recently as 1982. "Higher northern latitudes are getting warmer, Arctic sea ice and the duration of snow cover are diminishing, the growing season is getting longer and plants are growing more," said Ranga Myneni of Boston University's Department of Earth and Environment. "In the north's Arctic and boreal areas, the characteristics of the seasons are changing, leading to great disruptions for plants and related ecosystems." Comment: I am trying to work out where the bad news is.... Other related press releases use tortuous language to convince the less knowledgeable that the planet going green is really bad...
In Their Own Words: Climate Alarmists Debunk Their "Science" Forbes, 5th February 2013
[...] How Climate Alarmism Advances International Political Agendas:
The term “climate” is typically associated with annual world-wide average temperature records measured over at least three decades. Yet global warming observed less than two decades after many scientists had predicted a global cooling crisis prompted the United Nations to organize an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and to convene a continuing series of international conferences purportedly aimed at preventing an impending catastrophe. Virtually from the beginning, they had already attributed the “crisis” to human fossil-fuel carbon emissions. A remark from Maurice Strong, who organized the first U.N. Earth Climate Summit (1992) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil revealed the real goal: “We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrialized civilization to collapse.” Former U.S. Senator Timothy Wirth (D-CO), then representing the Clinton-Gore administration as U.S undersecretary of state for global issues, addressing the same Rio Climate Summit audience, agreed: “We have got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.” (Wirth now heads the U.N. Foundation which lobbies for hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to help underdeveloped countries fight climate change.) Also speaking at the Rio conference, Deputy Assistant of State Richard Benedick, who then headed the policy divisions of the U.S. State Department said: “A global warming treaty [Kyoto] must be implemented even if there is no scientific evidence to back the [enhanced] greenhouse effect.” In 1988, former Canadian Minister of the Environment, told editors and reporters of the Calgary Herald: “No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…climate change [provides] the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.” Comment: We are given proof on top of proof that there has been a desperation by world controllers to blame Earth's chaotic weather and environment on global warming caused by humans, rather than an influx of charged energy from deep space. I don't think this is just about re-distribution of the world's weath because all the policies seem to be about making the masses much poorer. Whatever, the truth is now widely available for those actually interested in reality.

Climate Science: Lying as a political motivator within the IPCC WUWT, 28th January 2013 
UPDATE 2: Annan also speaks about lying as a political motivator within the IPCC, I've repeated this extraordinary paragraph in full. Bold mine.
Oh dear oh dear oh dear… Comment: I changed the headline to make it clear that climate scientists in the inner circles are admitting their colleagues have been lying about the true cause of global warming/climate change. This will soon become a circular firing squad because as we are told here, the The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and people responsible for the largely bogus analyses are "in a bit of a pickle". We might have to wait years before there is a general admission that climate change is being caused by the shift in the cosmic climate inducing a chain reaction that involves geomagnetic factors. However, the science is available for anyone who wants to understand the process of cosmoclimatology and energy driven evolutionary change that have been repeated many times on this planet.

Climate change blamed for Australia's extreme weather New Scientist, 29th January 2013 
The east coast of Australia has been drenched by floods and torrential rains, even as recent bush fires affecting much of the country continued to burn. Four people are known to have died as Australians get a further taste of extreme weather that is predicted to become more common as the planet warms.
The deluge came as a storm that started as tropical cyclone Oswald just north of Australia was dragged south over most of the east coast by a low-pressure system extending all the way to New South Wales, says Richard Wardle of the Bureau of Meteorology in Queensland. As it hit land, Oswald lost its cyclone status but remained a "vigorous" storm, Wardle says. [...] "The frequency of more intense events is going to increase. Droughts, heatwaves and – in northern Australia – rainfall events and tropical cyclones are going to be more intense," says Jon Nott of James Cook University in Townsville, Australia, who researches extreme weather events. [...] Nott points out that Australia might be experiencing a "double whammy" of climate change and natural variability, driving wetter conditions. One natural pattern, the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation, affects circulation in the Pacific, and reverses every 20 or 30 years. It flipped about five years ago for the first time since 1977, bringing warmer waters to Australia's east coast. "During those phases, Queensland sees more flooding, more rainfall, and more landfalling tropical cyclones," Nott says. Climate change will only compound the effects of such patterns, he says. Comment: I just can't cover all the extreme weather headlines but I would like to do some analysis on the new fight between climate realists and other scientists frightened about run away climate change and extreme weather. I think that due to the new cosmic conditions and poor cosmic shielding we can expect EXTREME WEATHER, the reason being is that more energy is being fed into the atmosphere in an ad hoc manner but linked with other known factors, it seems the results can be generally predicted. In this regard, the fact that maverick astrophysicist Piers Corbyn has been forced to change his methods to more successfully predict the weather and take into account space weather is a good sign and it might be the reason that more mainstream academics are now also taking up the challenge. Simply, world controllers cannot be satisfied with the poor results obtained using traditional meteorological methodology that only predicts by looking at previous data and the resultant weather but not understanding exactly what processes actually causes our weather... So as much as I respect climate realists, I believe that we cannot just look at the future by citing the past, because there are new factors in play.
17 Jan +ongoing: BORIS BOOSTS PIERS, Telegraph 21Jan - & other LATEST UPDATE NEWS + COMMENT on The Great cold blasts & blizzards of Jan 2013 - WHAT TO DO? and WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? Weatheraction.com, 24th January 2013
24 Jan (05.00utc) It looks increasingly like standard models are heading for another blunder this weekend
Examination of successions of forecast maps for Sat 26th and Sun 27th from MetOffice, GFS and ECMWF models show them back-peddling on their much heralded major warm-up.
"We warned they were overstating this event", said Piers Corbyn of WeatherAction, "There is just not enough solar-wind input coming to make the change they expect and our lunar and geomagnetic factors are against. A look at http://spaceweather.com/archive.php?month=01&day=23&year=2013&view=view confirms the very low levels of activity we predicted for now from over 5 weeks ahead. Something will happen, indeed our forecast said so, but not much - and qualitively weaker, compared to their projections. This is yet another blunder in a series of major errors this winter in forecasting from only a f "Of course standard meteorology has no comprehension of what we are talking about and as long as it remains wedded to the delusional nonsense of CO2 warmism and 'weather drives weather' tenets of computer forecasting they will never learn. Admission that solar activity is the decisive driver of weather especially extreme events and of climate change - a fact which our success demonstrates - spells the end of the CO2 warmist religion and the electricity price hikes, taxes and green handout gravy train that it brings. "It also means that however many millions or billions, are spent on extra computer power for the juggernaut of standard warmist meteorology thay will never improve but only get wrong answers quicker and mislead the public more often. Politicians must now get to grips with reality, cast aside the CO2 warmist sect of BBC-MetO and the so called 'Climate-Science' empire in academia and instead support accountable evidence-based science and policies" Comment: There is a lot of climate politics here, but I have great respect for Piers Corbyn. He says the SSW was caused by solar and lunar influences and this "catastrophic forecast scenario was first issued in detail in mid-December by WeatherAction long range forecasters." He is not always 100% right, but I am impressed that he predicted this historic event early... What we have to ask is: what exactly is Corbyn's new breakthrough prediction system that he has been forced to produce? We know for a fact that Piers Corbyn is running a business and he will not completely reveal his methodology but in his recent writings he does point out the role of notable openings in the magnetosphere that allow through solar particles, coronal holes, solar flares and proton bursts. Thus I can only speculate that he has managed to work out a new correction for the huge surges in energy that are hitting this planet.
Stratospheric Phenomenon Is Bringing Frigid Cold to U.S | Climate Central, 21st January 2013 
An unusual event playing out high in the atmosphere above the Arctic Circle is setting the stage for what could be weeks upon weeks of frigid cold across wide swaths of the U.S., having already helped to bring cold and snowy weather to parts of Europe. [...]
This phenomenon, known as a “sudden stratospheric warming event” started on Jan. 6, but is something that is just beginning to have an effect on weather patterns across North America and Europe. While the physics behind sudden stratospheric warming events are complicated, their implications are not: such events are often harbingers of colder weather in North America and Eurasia. The ongoing event favors colder and possibly stormier weather for as long as four to eight weeks after the event, meaning that after a mild start to the winter, the rest of this month and February could bring the coldest weather of the winter season to parts of the U.S., along with a heightened chance of snow. [...] Sudden stratospheric warming events take place in about half of all Northern Hemisphere winters, and they have been occurring with increasing frequency during the past decade, possibly related to the loss of Arctic sea ice due to global warming. Arctic sea ice declined to its smallest extent on record in September 2012. [...] “For reasons I don't think we fully understand, the changes in the circulation that happen in the stratosphere [can] descend down all the way to the Earth's surface,” said Judah Cohen, director of seasonal forecasting at Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER) in Massachusetts. Comment: The Sudden Stratospheric Warming event caused a dramatic rise in temperatures over the North Pole of about 35 degrees centigrade. This is dramatic but bigger swings have been recorded in recent years, see archives. Well, Earth is not isolated in space and the planet is being continuously hammered by magnetic cosmic energies at the same time that Earth's magnetic field is in a very poor state (if it exists at all on the daylight side...). For those new to this website, please see my tutorial, Extreme Space Weather. Magnetars are the most extreme magnetic stars in the universe and produce severe blasts of magnetic energy from deep space that scientists jokingly refer to as "solar flares on steroids". It is not really funny when Earth's defenses are down and we have entered a region of space that is now at the receiving end of these extreme cosmic blasts that disrupt Earth's jet streams and cause extreme weather.
Obama declares war on reality Telegraph Delingpole Blog, 21st January 2013 
When George W Bush declared war on an abstract noun – "Terror" – he was widely and inevitably mocked by the left for his foolishness. Not to be outdone, Barack Obama has used his second inaugural address to declare war on an even more nebulous threat to the security of the world: reality, itself.
Comment: Now, we are getting to the truth... The climate wars are about who is interested in reality and who is not... Our currently reality is changing quickly and world controllers (Majesterium) are too frightened of losing any control they thought they had. The vast majority of ignorant sheeple are too unaware and lack much interest in reality and there are some specific groups (you know who I mean) that thrive on fantasy so it is a waste of time even bothering there... Well, the reality is universal forces are in control. So far, all we have had is politicians and pundits advocating stupid money making schemes that have made life for many on this planet worse as outlined in this short article .... As far as I am concerned, the solution being implemented by universal consciousness is just downright sensible, a quick reduction in human population on this planet will solve many different issues.
MICHAELS: Global warming apocalypse canceled 21st century has seen no rise in temperature, after all Washington Times, 17th January 2013
My greener friends are increasingly troubled by the lack of a rise in recent global surface temperatures. Using monthly data measured as the departure from long-term averages, there's been no significant warming trend since the fall of 1996. In other words, we are now in our 17th year of flat temperatures.
Since 1900, the world has seen one other period of similar temperature stagnation (actually a slight cooling) that lasted for 30 years and ended around 1976. The current one is happening with much more putative warming “pressure,” because the atmosphere's carbon-dioxide content is much higher than it was in mid-century. From the Industrial Revolution to 1950, atmospheric carbon-dioxide concentrations rose by about 15 percent. Today, the increase is up to 41 percent, making long periods without warming either 1) increasingly unlikely, or 2) the natural result of simply overestimating how “sensitive” surface temperature is to carbon dioxide. My money is on the latter. Comment: I just liked the headline, the article itself is quite boring....
The Express News, 9th January 2013 
THE great global warming debate was blown wide open again yesterday when the Met Office predicted cooler than expected temperatures for the next five years.
The Met Office, one of the top cheerleaders for the man-made climate change camp, said global temperatures are likely to be lower than it forecast in December 2011. It blamed this on the “natural variability of the climate system”, notably changes in ocean surface temperatures. [...] Climate sceptics hailed this as proof that global warming has stopped. David Whitehouse, of Lord Lawson's Global Warming Policy Foundation, said: “If the latest Met Office prediction is correct, it will prove to be a lesson in humility. “It will show that the previous predictions given so confidently as advice to the UK Government and so unquestioningly accepted by the media were wrong and that the so-called sceptics who were derided for questioning them were on the right track.” Comment: Some informed comments here... Effects of climate change will be felt more deeply in decades ahead, draft report says Washington Post, 11th January 2013 Of course this has nothing to do with CO2 and a lot more to do with "space-terrestrial interactions [52,53]; be it Earth-Sun, Earth-Solar System, and/or Earth-Interstellar." Global warming, the tool of the West Pravda News, 4th January 2013 
For years, the Elites of the West have cranked up the myth of Man Made Global Warming as a means first and foremost to control the lives and behaviors of their populations. Knowing full well that their produce in China and sell in the West model and its consiquent spiral downward in wages and thus standards of living, was unsustainable, the elites moved to use this new "science" to guilt trip and scare monger their populations into smaller and more conservatives forms of living. In other words, they coasted them into the poverty that the greed and treason of those said same elites was already creating in their native lands.
What better way to staunch protests at worsening economic and life conditions than to make it feel like an honourable job/duty of the people to save "Gia". At the same time, they used this "science" as a new pagan religion to further push out the Christianity they hate and despise and most of all, fear? Gia worship, the earth "mother", has been pushed in popular culture oozing out of the West for a better part of the past 1.5 decades. This is a religion replete with an army of priests, called Government Grant Scientists. Comment: This article is hysterically funny... gems like the 'the magmamen and their SUVs', but the English spelling is atrocious.... Pravda, a thorn in the American side.... but I love the Russians because they can be brutally honest and upfront... I've been saying this for quite some time, if you want to know what is going on, watch what the military are up to and pay attention to what the Russians are saying... all within reason of course.... Climate Science: Lying as a political motivator within the IPCC WUWT, 28th January 2013
UPDATE 2: Annan also speaks about lying as a political motivator within the IPCC, I've repeated this extraordinary paragraph in full. Bold mine.
Oh dear oh dear oh dear… Comment: I changed the headline to make it clear that climate scientists in the inner circles are admitting their colleagues have been lying about the true cause of global warming/climate change. This will soon become a circular firing squad because as we are told here, the The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and people responsible for the largely bogus analyses are "in a bit of a pickle". We might have to wait years before there is a general admission that climate change is being caused by the shift in the cosmic climate inducing a chain reaction that involves geomagnetic factors. However, the science is available for anyone who wants to understand the process of cosmoclimatology and energy driven evolutionary change that have been repeated many times on this planet.

Wild weather: Extreme is the new normal New Scientist, 18th January 2013
The wild weather that greeted the new year is a taste of things to come
ALL eyes have been on Australia in recent weeks as a blistering heatwave triggered huge wildfires. The result has been a slew of amazing stories, including a family escaping by jumping into the sea and meteorologists adding new colours to heat maps. But Australia's fires are just the most dramatic of a cluster of ongoing extreme weather events, including droughts in the US and Brazil and a lethal cold snap in Asia (see "Drought, fire, ice: world is gripped by extreme weather"). Lumping extreme weather events under a single umbrella can be misleading. Al Gore got into trouble when his film An Inconvenient Truth stitched together footage of numerous hurricanes and presented them as "evidence" of climate change. But in this case it seems there really is a bigger picture. Scientists have warned for years that extreme weather would become more common, and now it is. What's more, although single events can rarely be confidently attributed to climate change, clusters probably can. [...] The spate of extreme weather, then, is a snapshot of the not-too-distant future. Soon, this will be the new normal. We call events like the Australian heatwave "extreme weather", but within the next few decades they will simply be "weather". Comment: Earth's magnetosphere is down (well, like a sieve), so it is going to be chaos for reasons that have explained on this blog over and over again... But of course, this does not have anything to do with the other piece of extremely interesting news from New Scientist, Earth may be crashing through dark matter walls, it's just a coincidence right? I still have work to do getting up to speed on HOW scientists are being forced to correct for aether fluctuations so we know that this is not just speculation, but see the recent ESA spacetime mission announcement...

Solar Variability and Terrestrial Climate NASA Science News, 8th January 2013 
In the galactic scheme of things, the Sun is a remarkably constant star. While some stars exhibit dramatic pulsations, wildly yo-yoing in size and brightness, and sometimes even exploding, the luminosity of our own sun varies a measly 0.1% over the course of the 11-year solar cycle.
There is, however, a dawning realization among researchers that even these apparently tiny variations can have a significant effect on terrestrial climate. A new report issued by the National Research Council (NRC), "The Effects of Solar Variability on Earth's Climate," lays out some of the surprisingly complex ways that solar activity can make itself felt on our planet. Understanding the sun-climate connection requires a breadth of expertise in fields such as plasma physics, solar activity, atmospheric chemistry and fluid dynamics, energetic particle physics, and even terrestrial history. No single researcher has the full range of knowledge required to solve the problem. To make progress, the NRC had to assemble dozens of experts from many fields at a single workshop. The report summarizes their combined efforts to frame the problem in a truly multi-disciplinary context. One of the participants, Greg Kopp of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, pointed out that while the variations in luminosity over the 11-year solar cycle amount to only a tenth of a percent of the sun's total output, such a small fraction is still important. "Even typical short term variations of 0.1% in incident irradiance exceed all other energy sources (such as natural radioactivity in Earth's core) combined," he says. Comment: Well, NASA scientists are realising that the CO2 hoax cannot be sustained and we are getting some major new admissions of reality.... reality bites... In summary, Space Weather is generating a full blown planetary emergency, out-dated ideas from the dark ages are no longer appropriate... see more technical comments at WUWT and lots of previous comments on this blog.

Al Gore, who shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his fight against global warming, may gross about $70 million from the sale of his Current TV network to Al Jazeera, the cable channel funded in part by oil-rich Qatar.
Al Jazeera will pay about $500 million for Current TV, including the stake held by Gore, 64, according to two people with knowledge of the deal. The network is one of dozens of investments made by the former vice president since he lost the 2000 presidential race by a slim margin. “It's reeking with irony,” said Jeff Sonnenfeld, senior associate dean at the Yale School of Management, who studies corporate governance. “It seems to be at least a paradox in terms of his positions on sustainability and geopolitics.” [...] “Many Americans are tired of borrowing huge amounts of money from China to buy huge amounts of oil from the Persian Gulf to make huge amounts of pollution that destroys the planet's climate,” Gore said in September 2006 at the New York University School of Law. “Increasingly, Americans believe that we have to change every part of that pattern.” Comment: Al Gore the zealous climate czar and hypocrite....

More than 100 die of exposure in cold snap [Delhi, India] The National, 3rd January 2013
LUCKNOW // More than 100 people have died of exposure as northern India deals with unusually low temperatures.
At least 114 people have died from the cold in the state of Uttar Pradesh, a police spokesman, Surendra Srivastava, said yesterday. At least 23 of those died in the past 24 hours.
Mr Srivastava said many of the dead were poor people whose bodies were found on sidewalks or in parks. The weather department said temperatures in the state were between 4 and 10°C below normal. New Delhi suffered its coldest day in 44 years amid the cold snap across northern India, meteorologists said. The maximum temperature on Wednesday reached just 9.8°C, the lowest since the winter of 1969 - when records first began - with a low of 4.8°C.

The Fifth Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) makes clear that climate alarmism is now and has always been a matter of faith, and not science.
An article published online today in Nature says that global warming will raise biological diversity and that recent gains in species numbers associated with climate warming could more than balance species losses.

The doomed planet movement has been losing momentum. Inconvenient scientific findings have confirmed the lack of any significant warming of dear old Earth over the past 16 years. It's hard to scare people into action when nothing bad is happening. That's why the White House has changed its vocabulary again – first “global warming” was changed to “climate change” – and now the correct name of the scam is “carbon pollution.” It's a way to paint carbon dioxide as if it were black soot billowing out of industrial smokestacks. Carbon dioxide is actually what humans exhale, and it's food for plants.

Easterbrook: 'The accelerated rise is based on postulated accelerated warming but there has been no warming in the past 15 years and, in fact, the climate has cooled during that time. So no climatic warming means no accelerated sea level rise as postulated by Strauss...the huge rise of sea level rates proposed by Strauss are absurd and that the maximum sea level rise by 2100 will be less than one foot'
When it comes to extreme weather, climate activists want to have their cake and eat it. Many acknowledge that it is unscientific to attribute any particular weather event to global warming. But then, in the same breath, they'll say that this or that drought, flood, or hurricane is “consistent with” the types of weather”scientists” predict will become more frequent in a warming world.[...]
Severe winter flooding in Britain could become twice as likely by the end of the century because rising global temperatures are increasing the chances of huge “atmospheric rivers” that transport massive volumes of water vapour in the air.
