Global Warming be Damned: Record Corn, Soybeans, Wheat

October 14th, 2016 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.

For many years we have been warned that climate change is creating a “climate crisis”, with heat and drought reducing agricultural yields to the point that humanity will suffer. Every time there’s a drought, we are told that this is just one more example of human-caused climate change.

But droughts have always occurred. The question is: Are they getting worse? And, has modest warming had any effects on grain yields?

We have yet to experience anything like the Dust Bowl drought of the 1930s, or the mega-droughts the western U.S. tree ring record suggests occurred in centuries past.

And even if they do occur, how do we know they were not caused by the same natural factors that cause those previous droughts? While “global warming” must cause more precipitation overall (because there is more evaporation), whether this means increased drought conditions anywhere is pretty difficult to predict because it would require predicting an average change in weather patterns, which climate models so far have essentially no skill at.

So, here we are with yet another year (2016) experiencing either record or near-record yields in corn, soybeans, and wheat. Even La Nina, which was widely feared would cause reduced crop yields this year, did not materialize.

How can this be?

How has Climate Changed in the U.S. Corn Belt?

Let’s start with precipitation for the main growing months of June-July-August over the 12-state Corn Belt (IL, IN, IA, KS, NE, ND, SD, MO, WI, MN, MI, OH). All data come from official NOAA sources. Since 1900, if anything, there has been a slight long-term increase in growing season precipitation:

corn-belt-precip-jja-thru-2016

In fact, the last three years (2014-16) has seen the highest 3-yr average precip amount in the entire record.

If we examine temperature, there has been some warming in recent decades, but nothing like that predicted for the same region from the CMIP5 climate models:

corn-belt-temp-jja-thru-2016-vs-42-cmip5-models

That plot alone should tell you that something is wrong with the climate models. It’s not even obvious a statistically significant warming has occurred, let alone attribute it to a cause, given all of the adjustments (or lack of proper adjustments) that have been made to the surface thermometer data over the years. Note the models also cannot explain the Dust Bowl warmth of the 1930s, because the models do not mimic the natural changes in Pacific Ocean circulation which are believed to be the cause.

So, has Climate Change Not Influenced Grain Yields?

Let’s assume the temperature and precipitation observations accurately reveal what has really happened. Has climate change since 1960 impacted corn yields in the U.S.?

As part of some consulting I do for a company that monitors grain markets and growing conditions around the world, last year I quantified how year-to-year variations in U.S. corn yields depend on year-to-year changes in precipitation and temperature, over the period 1960 through 2014. I then applied that relationship to the long-term trends in precipitation and temperature.

What I found was that there might be a small long-term decrease in yields due to climate change, but it is far exceeded by technological advancements that increase yields.

In fact, based upon studies of the dependence of corn yield on CO2 fertilization, the negative climate impact is even outweighed by the CO2 fertilization effect alone. (More CO2 is well known to fertilize, as well as increase drought tolerance and make plants more efficient in their water use).

The people I know in the grain trading business do not even factor in climate change…primarily because they do not yet see evidence of it.

It might well be there…but it is so overwhelmed by other positive factors, especially improved varieties, that it cannot be observed in corn yield data. In fact, if varieties can be made more heat tolerant, it might be that there will be no climate change impact on yields.

So, once again, claims of severe agricultural impacts from climate change continue to reside in the realm of science fiction….in the future, if at all.

    There is a solar reason why positive North Atlantic Oscillation picked up temporarily since 2012. We are now on the down slope and will be seeing several summers with negative NAO for months on end like in 2012, until around the next sunspot maximum. That will drive the AMO strongly warm again, increasing drought episodes across the US plains.

      “GMO toxic monsanto food”

      Are you sure you know what you’re talking about?

        • Jeff W says:

          I’m in the grain business and will state unequivocally that GMO’s trade just as well as non-GMO’s. There’s always demand for both, doesn’t matter. GMO’s are unoficially allowed for feed in many Non-GMO countries. Feed is a big business, it plays a big part in merchandising the grains.

      • Joe says:

        Glyphosate in any amount is toxic. Monsanto’s story of feeding the world is pure bs.

        • Duster says:

          Not to defend Monsanto, but have you read actual scientific studies that claim extreme toxicity? There are all kinds of anecdotal assertions, but even the German government has been unable to find convincing evidence that glyphosate is linked to any disease. The LD50 levels for it run in the grams per kilogram. There is a profound difference between a scientific study and the anecdotes collected by lawyers to support law suits based on arguments supported by precautionary-principle based “reasoning.”

    • Cuivre says:

      If a backwards thinking, anti-science country chooses to let its people die of starvation or high domestically raised food prices, it is because of junk science propaganda and that country’s leaders. It is because of their own politics/special interests, and NOT the relative safety of the imported food. Only until the masses rise up, will these politics be cast aside to feed the country’s citizenry. There are no effect provable from GMO agricultural products that even come close to the acute death that comes from simple starvation and malnourishment. Most of the deaths in the US that I have heard about are from ORGANIC focused sources (Chipotle, various lettuce/spinach sources using crap for fertilizer) and simple food mishandling.

    • pfudnut says:

      Do you even know what GMO means? Is a Granny Smith apple different from a Red Delicious? Where did these different variety come from? Do they have the exact same DNA? If they don’t then they are GMO’d. If any variety of any organic substance has a different DNA then doesn’t it stand to reason that it is has been GMO’d? So, explain to me what GMO means.

      • Different apple varieties use virtually the same amount of water, they contain virtually the same plant toxins, if bred the natural way. Firing the DNA for toxic chemicals in a scattergun approach into plants is nothing like the same thing and producing crops that need twice as much water and still get attacked by the same pests three years on is utter madness. There is a reason people choose not to eat GMO if given a choice. They are bad for people and bad for yields and bad for the ecosystems of the planet.

        • Duster says:

          The soundest reason to avoid GMO crops is economic. DNA moves naturally between various non-interbreeding lines courtesy of viruses, bacteria, and the like, and now humans. But, GMOs are routinely patented. It constrains farmers to purchase seed from Monsanto and their competitors each year and they are not allowed to retain seed stock from season to season. Monsanto is known to sue farmers whose field crops have been accidentally contaminated by neighbors planting Monsanto’s products. Monsanto and Cargill are a good reasons to avoid GMOs. The GMOs themselves, not so much.

      • April says:

        You are trying to confuse people with hybridization vs. crossing DNA from plants and bacteria or animals or insects to manipulate the growth. Transgenic organisms (GMO”S) come from man violating a plants DNA with foreign DNA. This is wrong and science has never stopped to think “should we do this?” We have no idea what the consequence will be. We are talking about the manipulation of the natural world as we know it. SO wrong.

        • FarmBoy says:

          Climate models may miss the boat entirely, when assessing crop yields. Microclimate, essentially soil surface temperature may be the most important temperature affecting crop yields, with soil temperature determining planting times, grain sprouting date, and growing season.
          Although climate may have some effect on soil temperatures, the most important factor is radiant energy on the soil surface.
          Desert environments have near water boiling temperatures on the soil surface, “Frying eggs on the sidewalk.”.
          The soil temperature, and microenvironment at the soil surface may not have a direct relationship to atmospheric temperatures, or average atmospheric temperatures including stratospheric and trophospheric temperatures.
          Climate scientists may not be the people who should be trying to answer these questions, but rather soil scientists, and astronomers assessing changes in solar radiation, especially during the solar cycle with sunspot activity and lack thereof and also cosmic ray activity.
          It is thought the position of the solar system as it oscillates through the plane of the Milky Way galaxy, and moving through galactic and itnergalactic dust clouds are responsible for the climate changes which occurred with the ice ages, and interglacial periods.
          So we’re not seeing change in crop yields? Not surprising this year. In fact, in the North American Midwest, it probably has been just about a perfect climate for great crop yields with steady rains in moderate amounts through just about the entire crop growing period.
          So if this is climate change which is supposed to turn the earth into run away climate change or Venus like CO2 climate,
          at least this year, was just about a perfect crop growing year.

          Human kind has been practicing “manipulation of the natural world” since, well some hominid learned how to make shelter and fire. We manipulate our natural world in so many ways it’s probably impossible to count them. The use of fertilizers and insecticides. Even the use of antibiotics is a “manipulation of the natural world”. Chlorination of water is a manipulation. The residual of the chlorine it’s self is very short term but the micro flora and fauna it killed are dead forever. Agriculture and domestication of species and animal husbandry are manipulations of the natural world. The length of the list of how we have manipulated our natural world probably is so long and so complex that it could never be created. My bird feeder when it has seeds is a manipulation of the natural world.

          • PC says:

            By your definition, an elephant wallowing in a water hole to cool off is manipulation, so is it still unnatural?

        • wert says:

          “This is wrong”

          I think you should think again what “wrong” means.

          ” We have no idea what the consequence will be”

          And we have idea what the consequence is. An organism with modified properties. Just what traditional selection and hybridization does, but quicker and more efficient.

        • Duster says:

          April, you really need to read up on the real behaviour of natural populations. Transgenic organisms are not unique to human engineering. There are complete virus genomes incorporated into the genomes of “higher” animals including humans. Bacteria routinely “scavenge” and incorporate DNA fragments out of their environments, bits left when other bacteria die or are destroyed. Viruses transfer DNA elements between different Kingdoms! There are no neat boundaries, chemically, within the biosphere. We really do have ideas about what the consequences would be since the “consequences” are all around us and recorded throughout geological history.

          Every time you eat corn (maize) or a tomato or a potato or any domesticated plant product, any time you ride a horse, pet a bull dog, smile at a dachshund, or start when a Malinois in a police canine unit barks you are encountering the human use of evolution to induce specific changes in a biological population.

    • Michael van der Riet says:

      The people who slept all through science class have arrived and they’re telling us to wake up.

    • Well said Rob. Sadly those who point to studies showing no problems with GMO food forget that those who pay for the studies sell GMO foods. Here in Aberdeen Scotland back in the 1990’s the head researcher at the crop institute here, one of the top institutes in the world, was sacked on the direct orders of the British Prime Minister at the time, Tony Blair, for daring to show that GM potatoes caused massive deformities in baby rats. We all know now that Tony Blair was a bought and paid for member of this cabal that run the west like a plantation so it is no surprise to me to see that not only has this study been suppressed but hundreds of others also. I believe in the scientific method but we need real unvarnished results to see that method triumph not head in the sand ignore the realities of what we all must by now KNOW to be going on in “research”.

      • Eric H says:

        John,
        You speak of Pusztai’s rat experiments…Why didn’t you bother with the rebuttals?

        “Pusztai has been criticized severely for the quality of his experiments. His experiments have been attacked for their small sample sizes, the use of inappropriate statistical procedures, and the fact that a diet of raw – or even cooked – potatoes is a bad diet for rats (people too), even when supplemented with a bit of extra protein. But oddly enough, in all that has been written about these experiments, no one seems to have seen their central flaw, which was that he did not use appropriate controls. A “control” is the part of an experiment that allows the researcher to examine the consequences of just the change (in this case) or the treatment (in the case of a drug) under study. In Pusztai’s experiments, the control potatoes had a different history than the transgenic potatoes and, in particular, that history included a culture procedure that induces somaclonal variation. The likeliest source of the variation he detected – and of the differences he attributed to the fact that they contained foreign DNA – was the culture procedure itself. In order to be able to attribute the deleterious effects of the transgenic potatoes to the newly introduced gene or to some other part of the introduced DNA, he would have had to make a comparison between potatoes that had the very same history, but either had or lacked the transgenic construct. This can be done, but the study that Pusztai participated in was simply not designed for such a test.”

    • wu hu says:

      utter rhetoric you spew. ive been involved with farming for 35yrs. ive been buying grain for 4yrs, all for the international market. there is so much grain world wide , wheat corn records here and other countries , almost every 2nd year there is a new record. russia/ukraine could improve there production but there 30yrs behind. its astonishing the BS that comes out.
      and as far as GMO – the only reason this started was back 20yrs ago and the govt gave monsanto cargill etc monopolies and control of seed stocks .. farmers have been using roundup weed killer since the 50s .
      the truth is if we didnt use chemicals we then truly couldnt feed ourselves . but at this point there is a lot of grain worldwide. for instance soya beans , before the 2016 harvest , there are 16months of supply available . so basically 2 crop cycles ahead. corn is much less but still 6months . thats just usa stock .

    • John Hultquist says:

      Not much you should eat then. Here’s just one example:

      “Triticale is a combination grain of rye and durum wheat and is a grain that would not occur naturally because it is a hybrid of two different grains. It was first grown in 1875 although it was not released for commercial production until 1969.”

      For homework write a paper on Teosinte and Maize.

    • stewart orvik says:

      It’s not the “more and more people” it’s the power hungry elite who would rather millions starve than be fed as they have been with new innovations in seed grains. NO ONE, of the millions who’ve eaten these modified grains has died as a result.
      The shame is that the world gives Nobel prizes to the Dylan’s of the world, and denies Norman Borlaug, who saved millions from starvation,the recognition he so humanely deserves.

    • Duude says:

      If that be the case, you must be wondering about Germany’s Bayer buying Monsanto. We’ve seen a staggering number of science journals stating that GMO’s are NOT dangerous, and now Bayer buying Monsanto. I figure Europe will soon embrace GMOs now that the profits are in Germany.

    • John Beargrass says:

      I hear all the fear mongers talking bout the danger of GMO grains and pesticide uses. This is talk of the ignorant folks that are trolls and trying to instill fear into people. As a farmer and certified crop advisor I have a much different take on this subject. If you want “real wholesome natural food” that is Ok. The fact is without the advances in agricultural production, use of pesticides alone the agricultural output would be 1/4 of what it is today. The ignorance of people that know nothing about agriculture is indeed a problem but many are “experts” and fear mongers. Re: Meryl Streep and the alar scare. The list goes on and on. In America we have the greatest abundance of food in the world due to good farmers and production methods that wisely use pesticides and “some” GMO crops. BTW there is no GMO wheat it is primarily corn and soy beans. Travel outside the United States, go to some 3rd world countries and view their “natural” farming, then tell me how wonderful it is.

    • GMApe says:

      Try explaining the ‘risk’ of consuming GM food to a starving child’s mother somewhere in malaria-infested black Africa? Or the risks of consuming golden rice to a mother whose children are going blind due to vitamin A deficiency.

      Anyway, we’ve been eating GM tomatoes for decades.

    • Gordon Robertson says:

      rob bender…”countries world-wide dont want U.S. grain because its mostly GMO toxic monsanto food”.

      Give me some scientific proof there is anything wrong with GMO food.

      There has been a similar knock on Aspertame, because it allegedly produces products in the body like formaldehyde. The detractors who produce this propaganda fail to point out that tomatoes produce more formaldehyde in the body.

      It seems there are people out there who regard everything modern with unreasonable skepticism. They knock food additives without the slightest proof they do any harm.

      Having said that, there are concerns. A well known laxative uses the same base as anti-freeze, polyethylene glycol. The FDA has sent out strong warning concerning adverse effects in the human body.

  3. Farmer Bob says:

    We just came through a drought as bad as anything in the 30’s about 2 to 5 years ago. The main effect was a shortage of grasses and feed for cattle. This resulted in too much meat at first due to the number of cattle being slaughtered to reduce herd size, and the high meat prices as the herds were rebuilt. But we can easily overproduce the 6 main commodities, so there is no shortage in this country. Since our farm technologies have advanced over the past 80 years, farmers have more tools to deal with minor changes. But the public gets over-hyped by too many do-gooder know nothings that seem to think they know how farmers should do their jobs. Meanwhile, farmers rely on the work of tens of thousands of researchers in both universities and large corporations that employ thousands of scientists. But if you are one of those that really believe the hype, well you can put your money where your mouth is and show us how to do it correctly. I’ll even rent you the ground.

    • April says:

      Have you read “Foodopoly”? No hype just facts. You are supporting an industry that manipulates and violates our food supply. You are flooding the environment with chemicals that have never been used in such a overwhelming way. You are supporting the poisoning of our water, land and food. Bayer/Monsanto want to be in control of the world’s food supply and you support this. They care nothing more than for their bottom line. Farmers should be relying on the years of experience of their forefathers not greedy corporations.

      • Hillel says:

        You’re anti-science. There are a lot of quacks out there that promote the anti-gmo narrative and they don’t know what they are talking about.

        • Henri says:

          Science today is pretty anti science in practice. The scientific method encourages critical thinking, debunking and provable, testable conclusions. And when experiments seem to indicate common results, the “science” should never become dogma. Keep on testing and proving. Allow 3rd parties to prove your science wrong, which Monsanto will not allow. Believing is the enemy of knowledge, and it’s not what you know but what you can prove. I can prove that cattle would rather starve given the choice to eat anything genetically modified. They have to be forced to eat it. Large crops don’t come because of all the new technologies and gmo varieties, but are a direct result of healthy soil. Science has become a new religion of believing. If I can prove something different than what science says, than I’m the quack and anti science? Seems like the new religion has indoctrinated the masses.

          • Gordon Robertson says:

            Henri…”The scientific method encourages critical thinking, debunking and provable, testable conclusions”.

            Please don’t join the faction who turn the scientific method into something obscure. Many people today think peer review is part of the scientific method and even give PR more importance.

            Peer review denies one of the basic inferences of the scientific method that it be testable by ‘anyone’. Peer review is designed to exclude anyone but so-called scientists and it is fixed by a journal publisher allowing an unidentified reviewer to discard a paper before it reaches the level of the scientific method.

            The scientific method as taught in high school science decades ago is far better than the modern abomination. Basically, you state an objective, explain your methodology, explain your equipment, acquire results and form a conclusion.

            Dead simple, yet the theory of evolution and climate models cannot meet those requirements. Peer review is not even mentioned in the scientific method.

      • wu hu says:

        agreed , but that political , bayer/monsanto/cargill all have to be broke up , and monopolies stopped , btw organic grain food is a farce . when the neighboring farmer sprays his field with roundup , do you think it stays just on his field ? liberal ideology is the weed that needs to be sprayed.

      • Fred says:

        April,
        Go into farming and do it the right way, then. And don’t complain when your apples aren’t accepted by consumers because they have sooty blotch or flyspeck on them, and don’t complain when your corn dies due to corn borer. And especially don’t complain when your produce has to be sold at a premium of twice the price of regular produce because you choose to farm like people in the 19th century. Pesticides aren’t nearly as toxic as when my grandfather grew apples in Michigan. He used the state of the art – Arsenic – as a pesticide. The real reason no one wants GMO, etc. is because 1960’s hippies wanted to farm without DDT and their fathers helped them get “organic” labeling and marketing laws passed. Now that DDT and arsenic are long gone, they’ve got to keep up a reason for why their food costs so much more.

  5. Jimmy Schmidt says:

    This post really makes sense to me because I have had the same experience.

    I started drinking 35 years ago as a teen. I was partying all the time, which is pretty normal where I grew up. In my twenties I got a good job so I could drink better stuff and by 30 I was a hard core alcoholic. I’ve heard from doctors and so called “scientists” that drinking a lot is bad for you, but every decade I have been drinking more than the decade before. I have gained some weight, but not too much, and otherwise I feel great. I do a lot of bowling too, and last year I had my highest average in the last 20 years. In fact, my average over the last three years is higher than it has ever been. My wife took the kids and left me, so I think I will have even more time to bowl next year and less of her complaining about my drinking, so I am expecting big things in the future. I figure I should be able to keep drinking more and more for the foreseeable future. What could go wrong? The scientists and doctors don’t know shit.

    • the trouble with your analogy is we have MILLIONS of examples (proof) of where excessive drinking eventually leads, statistically.

      But we have ZERO examples of where going from 3 CO2 parts per 10,000 part of air 70 years ago, to 4 parts (today) or 5 parts late this century eventually leads.

        No Roy, you only have me!! One perfectly healthy test case after 35 years and going strong. No need to worry at all.

        Of these “millions” of people you studied and know so well, how many of them smoked or did other drugs, or were overweight, or didn’t exercise, or had genetic predisposition to cancers or diabetes? How many were exposed to harmful chemicals, or suffered from stress? Most all of them I think.

        Or are you relying on the “consensus” of no-nothing PhD’s out grubbing for NIH funding to do studies on rats for all your expertise? Just because the science seems settled in the literature doesn’t mean it is correct. Look at me! I am living proof it is wrong. I think you have been blinded by the main stream media and popular press repeating the lie that drinking is bad for you. They are all paid off by the liquor lobby anyway.

        For the earth we have millions of years of observation which is more relevant to the present day earth than some fat coke sniffing whino is relevant to me.

      Why do people expect a grand minimum? The sun is not periodic enough beyond the 11yr scwabe cycle to predict the next cycle. Solar activity is a composite system comprised of multiple periods all of which are irregular in time. Next cycle could be the same as 24.

    Good lord you anti gmo people are pathetic ignorant psychopaths. Im so tired of the anti science crowd. Being against the AGW agenda is PRO science because the science they use to “prove” agw is flawed and they cant accurately predict their next bowel movements much less the climate. They are working on a thesis where they have the answer they want they just have to frame the question to prove they are right. Anti GMO people use junk science, emotion, and conspiracy theories to prove their points. I really wish the anti gmos would just go live somewhere in the woods and leave the rest of the rational people alone.

  10. Alberto Zaragoza Comendador says:

    The case of corn is particularly striking because it’s a C4 plant and thus doesn’t benefit nearly as much from additional CO2 as the other 95% of plants. Nevermind – corn is going strong too.

    So even in a record-breaking hot year, and even in the 5% of crops that benefit least from additional CO2, the evidence of warming hurting yields is non-existent.

    There is also the issue that the temperatures of 2016 may be surpassed, eventually… but by then CO2 levels will be higher. In that sense the 2014-16 temperature jump acted as a massive natural experiment, essentially increasing one factor (heat) while holding others almost constant (CO2, technology). And still we didn’t see the purported damage to crops.

          You want proof for everything but global warming and it’s imaginary and generalized effect, climate change. There is no such thing as a global climate corresponding to a global warming.

          There is not a shred of evidence to support the notion that humans are causing catastrophic warming or climate change. Even the pundits at the IPCC, who set out with a mandate in 1988 to find proof that we humans are causing warming, admitted in 2013 that the warming stopped in 1998.

    “Farming is easy when your plow is a pencil and you’re nowhere near a cornfield.”

    GMO’s have been an essential part of agriculture since the very first wheat varieties were cultivated/domesticated in Turkey thousands of years ago. Corn as well as soybeans have been so altered by humans throughout history that they have no known “wild” counterparts.

    When 50 “scientists” say GMO’s are safe it’s considered crazy and they must be bought and paid for!

    When 50 “scientists” say man made global warming is legitimate then they must be listened too!

    • Gordon Robertson says:

      Hoosierfarmer…”Science shouldnt be political…”

      Wouldn’t that be nice.

      Unfortunately, politically-based science has been with us for at least a century. Even quantum theory took an unfortunate turn in the 1930s when Neils Bohr introduced a political interpretation of the theory that proposed action at a distance (teleportation). Einstein opposed it adamantly and Schrodinger, essentially the father of the modern theory, retired rather than join the political insanity.

      In medicine, there was an outbreak of pellagra in the southern states of the US. An on-the-scene researcher reported immediately the cause seemed related to diet. He was ignored for some 30 years while others looked for a viral or bacterial cause.

      It seems we are repeating that history with the HIV/AIDS theory. The notion that HIV causes AIDS was introduced by the Reagan administration in 1983 without peer review. They took the word of Robert Gallo, a scientist who had proposed cancer is caused by a virus. He simply transferred his failed theory from cancer to HIV/AIDS and now he is a multi-millionaire.

      The scientist who discovered HIV, Dr. Luc Montagnier has recently claimed that HIV will not harm a healthy immune system, leaving little doubt that AIDS is a lifestyle issue.

      Both political interference and political correctness are alive and well in science.

      • Nate says:

        Ho boy…

        What you’re talking about is something called Nobel disease:

        http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2010/11/23/luc-montagnier-the-nobel-disease-strikes/

        that sometimes turns Nobelists into nut-jobs.

        What sort of conspiracy theory sites you frequenting?

        • Gordon Robertson says:

          Nate…”What sort of conspiracy theory sites you frequenting?”

          A question I have for you is why you’d cite a site run by an apparent blithering idiot.

          He slams Linus Pauling, the leading researcher in chemistry of the 20th century, the man who wrote the book on covalent bonding and introduced quantum chemistry to North America.

          Pauling became interested in vitamin C because the ‘DATA’ he reviewed had merit. One of the leading researchers of all times reviews many studies on vitamin C and claims they have merit.

          Doh!!

          The author of the site is blatantly lying about Pauling and Montagnier. He alleges that Pauling has claimed vitamin C cures cancer and he said no such thing. He did research with Scottish surgeon Ewen Cameron in the Vale of Leven Hospital in Scotland in which they gave 10 grams of vitamin C to terminal cancer patients. Whereas they confirmed a few cases of spontaneous remission their overall conclusion was that vitamin C markedly reduces the horrible pain associated with terminal cancer.

          You should note that the National Cancer Institute is now endorsing the Pauling methodology.

          With regard to Montagnier, he has said nothing about homeopathy. He simply claimed that human immune systems would respond better to antioxidants since AIDS is caused by oxidative stress. That’s a no-brainer to anyone aware of the current science associated with optimal health.

          Here’s a one hour interview with Dr. Luc Montagnier in which he exposes many of the myths surrounding HIV. Who are you going to believe, a scientists who is credited with discovering HIV or an idiot writing a hate article about him?

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyPq-waF-h4

          • Nate says:

            ‘With regard to Montagnier, he has said nothing about homeopathy’

            Absolutely wrong. He has published on homeopathy and the idea that DNA makes radio waves in a paper

            “Electromagnetic Signals Are Produced by Aqueous Nanostructures Derived from Bacterial DNA Sequences.”

            Wikipedia:

            ‘He “stunned his colleagues … when he presented a new method for detecting viral infections that bore close parallels to the basic tenets of homeopathy. Although fellow Nobel prize winners who view homeopathy as quackery were left openly shaking their heads, Montagnier’s comments were rapidly embraced by homeopaths eager for greater credibility. ‘

            Sorry, some great scientists have a checkered history after winning the Nobel. Vitamin C was way oversold by Pauling. Shockley advocated eugenics, etc

          • Gordon Robertson says:

            Nate…”Sorry, some great scientists have a checkered history after winning the Nobel. Vitamin C was way oversold by Pauling. Shockley advocated eugenics, etc”

            And you’re about as thick as two short planks. Vitamin C is an essential vitamin without which we die a slow painful death. It’s also a powerful antioxidant and it takes part twice in muscle growth. If anything, like a good researcher, Pauling undersold its benefits.

            We die without it because C is an important part of creating collagen which is part of the matrix that binds cells together. Without that matrix, organs and other structures begin to fall apart.

            As Pauling liked to point out, a 150 pound goat makes 12 grams (12,000 milligrams) of vitamin C for itself in one day while humans make none. The recommended daily allowance as prescribed by the government suggests about 75 milligrams daily. As Pauling liked to point out, the goat seems to know more than the government. I might add, and people like you.

            As far as Montagnier and homeopathy, you’re basing your opinions on some idiot writing a wiki article. You could do the same, wiki articles require no expertise. I don’t see any reference in your comments to a response from Montagnier as to the charges of homeopathy.

            But thanks for the reply. Now I have a better understanding of why you know nothing about global warming.

          • Nate says:

            Yes Gordon,

            And I have a better idea of why you do not accept the science behind the GHE.

            “HIV will not harm a healthy immune system, leaving little doubt that AIDS is a lifestyle issue”

            You will eagerly accept that a horrific, deadly disease is caused by a lifestyle, rather then a virus.

            Your idea not only defies common sense and rational logic, but would require that mountains of evidence produced by numerous independent studies, and successful treatment strategies are all wrong.

            You clearly judge science through a political lens that is extremely distorting…

There couldn’t possibly be sprayers which use technology to meter their spray so that even when the machine is turning the right amount of liquid is being applied. GPS guidance and mapping couldn’t possibly help eliminate overlap in spraying. In short the modern farmer is still doing things just the way they did 20 years ago. (extreme sarcasm intended)

            No but the SW US is. The Colorado is in fact sucked dry before it reaches the Pacific. Periodically dams upstream from the Grand Canyon have to be opened to allow adequate flow to clear the river of accumulated stuff and keep it navigable for tourists. Also to provide for certain species endangered by the greatly diminished flow of that once mighty river.

            But the people of southern CA at least have an option not available to those further inland. They can desalinate which eventually is going to have to provide a significant proportion of their fresh water needs no matter how much the loony Greens and Moonbats protest. In the end the choices will be simple. Either desalinate or depopulate.

  18. barry says:

    Did anyone bother to check the IPCC projections on US crops?

    Depending on existing conditions, global warming and CO2 enrichment can have positive or negative effects on crop yields. It is believed that yield increases in mid and high latitudes are caused by positive physiological effects of CO2, longer growing season, and amelioration of the effects of cold temperature on growth. Decreases in yield could result from shortening of the growing period, reduced water availability, and/or poor vernalization.

    That’s from the 3rd Assessment report (2001). Goes on to project yield changes by percent to 2030.

            “IPCC official comment:

            Atmosphere

            Due to natural variability, trends based on short records are very sensitive to the beginning and end dates and do not in general reflect long-term climate trends. As one example, the rate of warming over the past 15 years (19982012; 0.05 [0.05 to 0.15] C per decade), which begins with a strong El Nio, is smaller than the rate calculated since 1951 (19512012; 0.12 [0.08 to 0.14] C per decade).

            Summary for Policy Makers, AR5 2013”.

Regional projections have more uncertainty than global, of course.

  19. MichaelL says:

    Good point. Here’s the scientific response:
    THE MODELS DONT WORK.
    Temperature records have been ‘massaged’, and effects of urban heat retention in gradually more urbanized temp recording sites ignored by all of the climatology parasites that rely on the Climate Change hysteria to generate their funding. Arctic ice patterns are used to ‘prove’ the models: unless ice growth rises, whereupon it’s either ignored, or we’re told “…it’s very complicated…” Himalayan ice and snow predications were wholly fabricated: remember that? No; I’ll bet not.
    Meanwhile, well known climatology geniuses like Leonardo Dicaprio assert that ‘the science is settled’. As if such a thing exists. This, from the same people that believe you can ‘choose’ gender like ordering a dessert.
    Thanks, but I’ll stick with my ignorant disbelief (along with a science degree and postgraduate education ) over your pseudoscientific pontification.

    Mine used horses and crude equipment. They milked by hand and stored the acquired milk in a “spring house” often shared by a Rattlesnake. If you wanted milk you had to ask Sally to leave for a few minutes. Sally helped control the mice, and so was a valued member of the farm. Horses and milk-cows had to be fed all year, even when it was well below freezing. Dog too she helped bring the horses and cows in from the pasture. Meat included venison (often canned yum! -sarc-) and other game-animals. Hickory nuts were gathered and, also American Chestnuts. These were mostly gone when I was a young one killed by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica. The huge trees still stood and made homes for Eastern Gray Squirrels with whom we shared the Hickory nuts. Occasionally the squirrels made it to the dinner table.

    Presumably Kansas was accidentally omitted. The Kansas corn crop in 2015 amounted to some 580 million bushels, the second highest in the history of the state, and about 72% greater than the Michigan crop. Summer rains are uncertain in Kansas, so the main reason for the excellent crop in 2015 was unusually good rainfall.

    so weather modification has nothing to do with the drought? I see insider dealings with Monsanto you make a drought so the only crops that will grow will be GMO crops.

  25. Mark Fergerson says:

    Can we please stop bandying around GMO half-truths based on oversimplified information about genetics? It is not “unnatural” to alter a plant’s genes. Nature does it constantly. The genes black widow spiders use to make their venom was just found in a virus that isn’t even capable of infecting spiders. Other examples abound. Nature swaps genes across not just species and even orders, like suburban couples swap partners. The difference with GMOs is that we’re doing it on purpose, to improve plant characteristics and yields. I still boggle at the Golden Rice fiasco- how many “organic foods” fanatics really believe it’s better to go blind than to eat GMOs?

  26. My first reaction is (not being a globalist, liberal, or environmentalist, just a mathematician who studied statistics) that we should see prices drop to record lows. My second reaction is that these corporations should start shipping the surplus to Haiti for the relief effort and other third-world countries and take a nice fat charitable tax deduction. They may lose some income if prices drop but the legal deduction will help their bottom line.

    Roy, here are scientists who have done real studies, not simply a blog post. What are their errors?

    For wheat, maize and barley, there is a clearly negative response of global yields to increased temperatures. Based on these sensitivities and observed climate trends, we estimate that warming since 1981 has resulted in annual combined losses of these three crops representing roughly 40 Mt or $5 billion per year, as of 2002.

    • An Inquirer says:

      David Appell. I am aware that there are papers that claim that the warming temperatures will negatively affect crop production. Yet, I am skeptical for three reasons. First, for every paper claiming such negative association, I believe I can find 10 papers showing positive impact from CO2. Second, in the papers showing the negative association, I saw such contortions and oblivion to reality that I have stopped reading those papers. Third, those papers tend to take tend to take global warming models and their word and ignore the disconnect between the models and reality.

      • barry says:

        There are different conclusions based on latitude and degree of warmth.

        IPCC says likely positive yields in mid to high latitudes for <1C warming above late 20th century temps (local), equivocal for 1-2C for the same latitudes, and less yield over 3C. Different for the tropics, where IPCC forecasts lower yields from even small climate change.

        But this is variable depending on crop and zone type (eg, arid, wet etc) and other stuff.

        So, yeah you can find papers with different results, but it would be meaningless if the parameters were also different.

        Most of the criticism in this thread refers to nothing at all, just vague "they said" stuff. Cheap rancour.

        • An Inquirer says:

          Barry, I think your response deals with an issue that reveals the reason for so much distrust of AGW activist warnings. According to the models, a 3 degree temperature increase would mean a decline in crop yields. Okay; according to a scenario of wins for the 49er’s, the model shows them winning the Super Bowl this year. Just because a model shows it, does not mean that it will be reality. I doubt that we will see a 3 degree increase in temperatures, so it is meaningless for activists to say that increased CO2 threatens crop production.
          I will go even further, I doubt that the models that produce the historic weather temperatures (going from raw to final) are reliable. NOAA tells me that the summer temperatures in my area have risen about 1 degree since I was a kid. Of course, I do not have a handle on the average temperature every year, but I do have a handle on the days of hot temperatures. I have been farming for 50 years, and the summer temperatures are definitely not getting warmer on our farm. In fact, they are more moderate. At the same time, I will say that they winter temperatures have not gotten colder; they are more mild.
          It is not just that I have jaded opinions on reality. We do keep records of weather. I will say that if those experts come up with an historical record so contrary to the reality of my experience, then they will have a hard time convincing me of the impending catastrophe predicted by their models.

  31. Rick V says:

    I am curious as to why you believe the examination of localized data on precipitation and agricultural production (12 US states) supports the title of your essay, “Global warming be damned,” or your conclusion. You did not examine the global data for your variables.

    I am sure you are aware that rainfall patterns are shifting and that the data supports the fact that wet areas are getting wetter and dry areas are getting drier.

    It seems likely that your data would be counter-balanced by examining global data on crop production and precipitation.

  32. R.J. says:

    The climate on earth has been in constant change since it became a planet. The shift in the north and South Pole locations and the resulting change in the angle at which the suns rays hit the van Allen belts have a huge effect on our weather. In addition to this, the sun is getting hotter every year, and is expected to explode and destroy the earth in the future. It is not clear what the effect of the nine billion humans, the most invasive species on the planet has to do with climate change. From my perspective it has become a political rationale to institute more control over the masses by the elites.

  33. R.J. says:

    In regards to GMO’s, Genetic modification of plants has been happening for centuries by humans. And since the start of the beginning of plants on this planet by nature. Recently technology has allowed us to accomplish modifications in a very rapid time frame compared to previous generations. As a Food Scientist I am aware that the pollen from these plants have been spread to non GMO fields and like it or not, is in our food chain at so many levels.

      David,

      I would like to point out that global wheat production per capita is not a good measurement of wheat production per se. Wheat production, in this example, is being compared to human procreation and death rates. A curious thing, to say the least. Beyond that, since, according to a previous poster, we have about 2 cycles of wheat in storage, it seems the per capita amount being grown is a satisfactory amount for human needs. Other than that, if the human population is increasing, then it seems wheat production is increasing in tandem.

      What then is the problem or issue? Or is this another example of a government agency attempting to mislead – scare – the people?

      Best wishes,

    In my little piece of the corn belt about 30 miles NE of Indianapolis it has been the wettest summer I can remember during my many years living in this area. The grass has grown like it’s spring time during all of the summer except for a short dry period during the last two weeks of July. It continues to do so. It has also be a very cool summer. The coolest we have experienced since the summer that never was due to Pinatubo.

    And obviously it is a record year for the corn belt. Not only for yield of corn and soya beans but also for the quality of the crops. :

    “USDA Forecasts Record-High Corn and Soybean Production in 2016
    WASHINGTON, August 12, 2016 Both U.S. corn and soybean growers are expected to harvest record-high crops this year, according to the Crop Production report issued today by the U.S. Department of Agricultures National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). U.S. corn production is forecast at 15.2 billion bushels, while soybean growers are expected to harvest 4.06 billion bushels in 2016….”

    Stupid responses to a hoax issue.

    Antarctic temperatures have been constantlly falling ever since man arrived some 80 years ago and began recording temperatures.The molecular weight of air is 29 g/mol. The tree line is 10,000 ft above sea level and man must have oxygen masks when flying above 15,000 ft. CO2 has a molecular weight of 44 g/mol and Ozone weighs 48 g/mol. The weight of CFC4 is 79 g/mol and others such as R-11, R-12 and R-114 are 137, 121, and 171 respectively. Sulfur dioxide weighs 64 g/mol. It is impossible for CO2, low level produced O3 to flocculant 12 miles up into the atmosphere and destroy the ozone layer or anything else.

    Volcanos make most of the high level CO2, O3, CFC, Hydro Carbons and Sulfur Dioxide in the world. One volcano in Africa that has been erupting continuously for as long as man has been able to take measurements, puts off more CO2 & Sulfur Dioxoide than all cars and factories in the US every day.

  42. Alberto Zaragoza Comendador says:

    ‘Is it possible for overall yields to increase while climate change is working to suppress them?’

    No, because northern hemisphere temperatures jumped by 0.6C between 2014 and 2016 – and still we didn’t see any of the purported damages.

    Surely agricultural technology didn’t change dramatically between these two years. Neither did CO2. There was no other factor to counteract the supposedly negative effect of higher temps.

    Notice that it’s also true for:
    a) C4 plants, which don’t benefit from additional CO2 nearly as much as C3 types
    b) Tropical countries, which would presumably be the first to cross the ‘threshold’ and start suffering declining yields due to higher temps.

    The evidence for warming hurting plants and agriculture, at a global level, is non-existent. Of course SOME crops, in some countries, will be negatively effected. More crops in more countries will not.

      Premise isn’t right. Temps are no different to past fluctuations.

      Damages are expected for sustained average temp change of 3C, not annual fluctuations. One of the main causes of anticipated crop damage is extreme heat days, which become hotter and more frequent with higher average temps.

      Also, these are about local temps – where the crop is grown, not NH average. So let’s look at a couple of states. I chose Illinois and Iowa for corn growing, and the 3 months of summer for heat days. Here are the temp data for each since 1975.

      Illinois
      Iowa

      Annual fluctuations of summer temps can be several degrees. The trends appear to be minimal. It was no hotter in 2016 than many years prior. There was nothing out of the ordinary over the last 40 years for 2016 summer temperatures in these corn-growing states.

        Let me state it: induce fear in the populace.

        Certainly, if it continues to warm as it has these past 20,000 years, then the seas will rise and the cities built on the coasts will be inundated.

        Also, unstated, lands to the north in Russia and Canada will become arable. The corn belt will move as will the winter wheat belt. So WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

        More CO2 means more growth for the areas still producing. In the meantime, slow land mass movement will keep weather patterns somewhat similar as today for the foreseeable future.

        Yet the AGW crowd cries out – be afraid, be very afraid – LET US – tell you – how to live your life WHILE WE continue to TAKE from you for our lazy lifestyles and TELL FARMERS how to grow organically, which most people can’t afford, but those of us who STEAL from the populace will always be able to purchase,

    David Hula set the world record corn yields last year at an unbelievable 532 bushel per acre. The USDA estimates the national average yield was about 168 bu/acre last year. The rest of the world is about half the U.S. national average.

    Assuming Hula’s record of 532 bu/acre is the maximum yield possible (it is not), then the difference between his 532 and the 168 national average (or ~80 bu/acre for rest of world) shows how much potential there is for additional productivity gains.

    We plant somewhere close to 100 million acres of corn in the U.S. each year.

    It appears the world is going to be flooded with corn in the coming years. It already is. Grain is piled up on the ground outside bins at many elevators today. Many elevators are built on rivers and have rail spurs, so they could move grain by barge, rail or semi if there were storage available elsewhere. But there’s not. So it’s piled up on the ground and covered by tarps.

    Heres a good,recent post by Dr Roy Spencer looking at crop yields and rainfall since 1900.
    http://jennifermarohasy.com/2016/10/wettest-september-record-murray-darling/#comment-582528

    What makes it good? I wondered.

    An important principle behind the scientific method is supposed to be about minimizing bias by following the data. That being all the related data and not only piecemeal approaches. Spencers post is an example of the later.

    Spencers conclusion is So, once again, claims of severe agricultural impacts from climate change continue to reside in the realm of science fiction.in the future, if at all.

    And yet the data he presents does not support such a view. Why? Because he offers zero data. He presents only his opinion of his own research. Thats not how science works, but it is how marketing, advertising, and biased hand waving attention seeking operates.

    Science is not based upon vapid assumptions such as Lets assume the temperature and precipitation observations accurately reveal what has really happened. Has climate change since 1960 impacted corn yields in the U.S.?

    Precipitation records amount to more than annual / seasonal rainfall numbers 300ml can fall in an hour or across several days, the latter being much better for crop yields than the former. This is obvious, and yet Spencer ignores it totally over the last few decades and the last one in particular.

    Spencer in fact acknowledges What I found was that there might be a small long-term decrease in yields due to climate change OK then, thats an admission of a likely affect.

    Is this surprising? No it isnt. It is very well known and has been for decades now.

    quote: Key Message: Impacts to Agriculture
    In the next few decades, longer growing seasons and rising carbon dioxide levels will increase yields of some crops, though those benefits will be progressively offset by extreme weather events. Though adaptation options can reduce some of the detrimental effects, in the long term, the combined stresses associated with climate change are expected to decrease agricultural productivity.
    http://nca2014.globalchange.gov/highlights/regions/midwest#statement-16934

    Who knew that? I did. I have read the reports years ago. Why doesn;t Spencer? or more to the point why is he not upfront about what the previous cliamte science research has presented? Why only focus on a small part of the story and not the whole story?

    Manipulation and disinformation and influencing unknowing non-scientific readers opinions is not uncommon a thing. Its called marketing of opinions and beliefs.

    He then says BUT it is far exceeded by technological advancements that increase yields.

    OK then, BUT technological advancements that increase yields has nothing to do with Climate or the weather.

    Where is his research data that separates out the two drivers of crop yields? It is no where to be seen in this post of Spencers. Most genuine scientists and everyday academics provide their references, Spencer does not. This error does not support his conclusions it totally undermines them.

    That in itself is meaningful about him personally over time as it continually impacts upon his reputation as an academic and a credible scientist. Theres marketing and then there is the Data.

    Spencer also says .it would require predicting an average change in weather patterns, which climate models so far have essentially no skill at.

    Um, yeah. So? GCMs do not do predictions, that is not what they are designed for. They are skillful and they are useful when fit for purpose. Misusing and mis-categorizing GCMs and other climate models is not the fault of the Models but the fault of those who are misusing them.

    Only recently have models being applied to regional climate settings wiht any degree of usefulness. They are far from accurate.

    A few other basic scientific errors include his other statements:

    Every time theres a drought, we are told that this is just one more example of human-caused climate change.

    Thats not true, and

    we have been warned that climate change is creating a climate crisis, with heat and drought reducing agricultural yields to the point that humanity will suffer.

    also not true. Certainly not by 2016 so why is Spencer even talking about this?

    (More CO2 is well known to fertilize, as well as increase drought tolerance and make plants more efficient in their water use).

    Not true. Does not consider all studies and all accumulated Data today.

    The people I know in the grain trading business do not even factor in climate changeprimarily because they do not yet see evidence of it.

    Not true. Its the fallacy appeal to popularity by only considering of a minor spectrum (people he knows) of all possible participants globally iow an extremely skewed unrepresentative and biased claim. Thats is not how credible scientists operate in the real world.

    but it is so overwhelmed by other positive factors,

    ie possible potential factors that have not been proven to be valid and correct, but merely assumed and claimed. That is not how genuine scientists operate either.

    IF varieties can be made more heat tolerant, it might be that there will be no climate change impact on yields.

    That is POSSIBLY true, but as yet it is far from proven and only lightly researched to date. Spencer provides no evidence or data yet again.

    Of course IF drought resistant varieties can be forthcoming that in no way has any effect on the reality of global warming nor regional climate change impacts in the Mid-West.

    And even if they do occur, how do we know they were not caused by the same natural factors that cause those previous droughts?

    A: Climate Science research, empirical evidence, and accumulated scientific Data, thats how.

    In fact, the last three years (2014-16) has seen the highest 3-yr average precip amount in the entire record.

    So what? Climate science (IPCC etc) have never said that the mid-west SHOULD be moving into a long term drought period with less than average rainfall around 2014-2016 anyway. No models are capable of making such predictions in recent past history.

    This is known as a strawman where Spencer presents a framing of supposedly higher temps and droughts (false claims) not coming true. This is not scientific.

    the Dust Bowl drought of the 1930s was not an event purely caused by weather the seriousness of that drought and its effects was made far worse by human activities specifically cropping practices.

    From the beginning Spencer asks: The question is: Are (droughts) getting worse? And, has modest warming had any effects on grain yields?

    He does not in any way answer, let alone address those questions. I wonder why he decided to write it.

    I suspect its another example of biased hand waving attention seeking attempting to influence public opinion and the political debates.

    Its got nothing to do with science. Spencer provides zero empirical evidence that global warming is not true, nor that it cannot have a negative effect on mid-western crop yields.

    None!

    This is what genuine science by credible scientists with empirical evidence looks like:
    Published: May 24, 2016 Climate Change and Maize Yield in Iowa
    Our results suggest that even if maize were to receive all the water it needed, under the strongest climate forcing scenario yields will decline by 1020% by the end of the 21st century.

    plus
    https://www.epa.gov/climate-impacts/climate-impacts-midwest

    The only thing social media and blog sites are good at is pointing people in the direction of where to view the scientific evidence for yourself.

    Everything else that goes on here and elsewhere is like an argument between the Green and Orange Christians in Nth Ireland and its total lack of theological significance to atheists, Muslims or the Mormons in Utah.

    A scientific approach always includes relevant high quality references middle-high school level debating techniques and illogical conclusions are not necessary.

    Paleoclimates, global warming, and climate change

    A physical system can have more than one stable solution. Its called hysteresis (its how the bits in a computers memory work, for example).

    Snowball Earth happened (we think) long ago when the atmosphere had radically different composition than today. It ended when greenhouse gases from volcanoes raised the temperature to the point where the snowball could no longer be maintained.

    At first, those gases could not be absorbed by the frozen surface, but after the big melt, liquid water was able to absorb much of them.

    But by that time, there was enough water vapor (the most abundant greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere to keep the temperature up as the CO2 and methane content went down.

    A new stable point was reached. We might see excursions around that point, but it would take a very strong external cooling forcing to overcome the hysteresis and return Earth to the snowball state.

    And it wasnt just atmospheric content that was different in the distant past. Solar energy output was also much lower during Snowball Earth excursions than it is today, meaning greenhouse gas levels had to rise quite high (double more times) to bring earth out of the snowball state, leaving behind the signature cap carbonate formations that punctuate snowball episodes.

    Its wet in the Murray Darling basin and southern australia recently, and crops are doing swimmingly well in the Midwest USA while “everyone knows” there is no such a thing as global warming let alone man-made global warming.

    This is what climate science research looks like when properly reported in a newspaper:

    Arctic methane gas emission significantly increased since 2014 major new research
    By The Siberian Times reporter 04 October 2016

    New expedition in Laptev Sea suggests increase in the rate of underwater permafrost degradation.

    The seeping of methane from the sea floor is greater than in previous research in the same area, notably carried out between 2011 and 2014.

    The area of spread of methane mega-emissions has significantly increased in comparison with the data obtained in the period from 2011 to 2014, he said. These observations may indicate that the rate of degradation of underwater permafrost has increased.

    Detailed findings will be presented at an international conference in Tomsk on 21 to 24 November. The research enables comparison with previously obtained data on methane emissions.

    Five years ago the professor has claimed: We found more than 100 fountains, some more than a kilometre across.These are methane fields on a scale not seen before. The emissions went directly into the atmosphere Earlier we found torch or fountain-like structures like this [photo]

    This is the first time that weve found continuous, powerful and impressive seeping structures, more than 1,000 metres in diameter. Its amazing. Over a relatively small area, we found more than 100, but over a wider area, there should be thousands of them.

      Jane…”A physical system can have more than one stable solution. Its called hysteresis (its how the bits in a computers memory work, for example)”.

      I’m afraid your a bit off with your definition of hysteresis. A perfect example of hysteresis is the effect produced by applying a magnetic field to a bar of steel. As the field increases in strength, the atoms in the steel align themselves with the field but when you remove the field, they remain aligned.

      If you had a similar effect in a computer’s main memory the memory would become static and ineffective. You are likely talking about an EEPROM, which is a particular type of computer memory designed to retain it’s data when power is removed. That’s the difference between ROM and RAM, the latter being the main memory in a computer. When the power is removed from RAM all data disappears.

      There has been suggestions in ancient atmospheres that warming lagged the CO2 concentration by 800 years. That would be a form of hysteresis but not well defined.

    How long will the ‘stable’ enough climate last for growing crops in the midwest given what is actually occurring in the global and regional climates of today and tomorrow?

    Oh my, if ONLY more CO2 meant higher crop yields, where we all lived and operated inside independent unconnected vacuum bubbles of “reality” on this planet.

    2016 Oct – Arctic Ocean sea temps 10C above recent averages no, that couldnt be true, could it? Ive mentioned this before on unscientific blog sites like this and was laughed at (at first) becasue people are so biased and gullible and do NOT know the facts.

    The empirical data and mountains of evidence keeps pouring out endlessly in confirmations one after the other after the others.

    Sea temperatures in the Arctic ocean now up to ten degrees C above 1971-2000 mean (the map).

    The meteorologist Tonboe saying he expects arctic sea ice in the summer of 2017 to be very weak.

    You dont need to be a climate scientist or meteorologist to see that coming and coming and coming. Simply look at the data and the empirical evidence is more than enough. 🙂

    Cognitive dissonance refers to a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviors. This produces a feeling of discomfort leading to an alteration in one of the attitudes, beliefs or behaviors to reduce the discomfort and restore balance etc.

    For example, when people get really angry (behavior) when confronted with real facts about global warming because they and they believe AGW/CC is a giant fraud or global cooling is about to take over the whole planet (faulty cognition).

    • Gordon Robertson says:

      Jane…”when people get really angry (behavior) when confronted with real facts…”

      Jane…you are describing climate alarmists. In 2013, the Mother of All Peer-Reviews, the IPCC, admitted there was no global warming between 1998 and 2012…some 15 years. They called it a warming hiatus.

      Besides the 2016 El Nino spike, there has been no further global warming. We are waiting to see what comes of the spike.

    Psychology and global warming – pictures are worth a thousand words (at least for those with EYES that can SEE objective reality 🙂 )

    Jerry Kroth concludes (and he is far from alone in this view)

    “And so it is, we have a large portion of the population that is convinced that they live in a different world, they live on fantasy island, they live out an delusory world in which Denial is the largest contributing factor to their consciousness on this issue.”

    “So they have lost contact with Reality and to that extent they have an incipient collective mental illness, the same way an individual would have.”

      Jane…”Jerry Kroth concludes (and he is far from alone in this view)…”

      Jane…sadly, the mandate of psychologists is to re-integrate people in a society that is already seriously neurotic and messed up.

      Carl Rogers, one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century, did research into the effectiveness of psychotherapy. He concluded that any type of therapy was no better that 60% effective, and some, like psychoanalysis, were no better than no therapy at all.

      One of his students, Eugene Gendlin, took it even further. He concluded that the reason some clients benefit from psychotherapy is that they are predisposed to understanding what the therapy is about.

      Psychologists are hardly people who should be talking about reality, considering their psychological models have nothing to do with reality. There is no such thing as ego, self, superego, etc., they are all models of what psychologist theorize are going on in the mind.

      The assertions of the psychologist you cite, that skeptics are in denial about global warming hence out of touch with reality, suggests strongly that the psychologist has no idea what reality might be.

      Reality in climate science is temperature data, and if you care to look at the graph on this site about temperatures from 1979 till present, you won’t see the catastrophic warming of which we skeptics are alleged to be in denial. Nor will you see the slightest bit of evidence that humans are causing the little warming there has been.

      • AndyG55 says:

        1. No warming in the UAH satellite record from 1980 to 1998 El Nino

        2. No warming between the end of that El Nino in 2001 and the start of the current El Nino at the beginning of 2015.

        3. No warming in the southern polar region for the whole 38 years of the satellite record.

        4. No warming in the southern ex-tropicals for 20 years.

        5. No warming in Australia for 20 years, cooling since 2002

        6. No warming in Japan surface data for the last 20 years, No warming from 1950-1990.. ie, a zero trend for 40 years through their biggest industrial expansion

        7. No warming in the USA since 2005 when a non-corrupted system was installed, until the beginning of the current El Nino.

        8. UAH Global Land shows no warming from 1979-1997, then no warming from 2001 2015

        9. Iceland essentially the same temperature as in the late 1930s as now, maybe slightly lower

        10. British Columbia (Canada) temperatures have been stable, with no warming trend, throughout 1900-2010

        11. Chile has been cooling since the 1940s.

        12. Southern Sea temperatures not warming from 1982-2005, then cooling

        13. Even UAH NoPol shows no warming this century until the large spike in January 2016.

        That is DESPITE a large climb in CO2 levels over those regions and time periods.

        There IS NO CO2 WARMING effect.

        The ONLY warming has come from regional El Nino and ocean circulation effects such as the PDO and AMO.

The six-month period from January to June was also the planet’s warmest half-year on record, with an average temperature 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.4 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the late nineteenth century.

  69. Gordon Robertson says:

    News flash and heads up…barry has revealed himself as misquoting IPCC sources to bolster his alarmist views. It seems alarmists are desperate to get rid of the IPCC announcement in 2013 that no significant warming occurred between 1998 and 2012. They referred to it as a warming hiatus.

    NOAA has gone to great lengths to retroactively eradicate that hiatus through smoke and mirrors statistical analyses. They did that by slashing 5000 surface stations globally and feeding data from the remaining 1500 stations into a climate model where it was interpolated and homogenized to synthesize the missing 5000 stations.

    Barry challenged me and referred me to the so-called official quote of the IPCC which he claims to be as follows:

    “IPCC official comment:

    Atmosphere

    Due to natural variability, trends based on short records are very sensitive to the beginning and end dates and do not in general reflect long-term climate trends. As one example, the rate of warming over the past 15 years (19982012; 0.05 [0.05 to 0.15] C per decade), which begins with a strong El Nio, is smaller than the rate calculated since 1951 (19512012; 0.12 [0.08 to 0.14] C per decade).

    Summary for Policy Makers, AR5 2013”.

    He supplied no citation to the IPCC source and he misspelled El Nino as El Nio.

    The IPCC made no such statement, the quote above is a fabrication from Barry’s mind. Be aware when dealing with this guy and check any sources he gives.

    Besides misquoting the IPCC, he has missed the point entirely. In the fabricated statement above he admits there was no significant warming over the 15 year period from 1998 – 2012 then tries to deflect from that true data with a smoke and mirrors arguement.

    • SkepticGoneWild says:

      Gordon,

      The above quote IS directly from Summary for Policymakers (AR5), Working Group 1, on page 5, Section B.1 Atmosphere:

      “Due to natural variability, trends based on short records are very sensitive to the beginning and end dates and do not in general reflect long-term climate trends. As one example, the rate of warming over the past 15 years (19982012; 0.05 [0.05 to 0.15] C per decade), which begins with a strong El Nio, is smaller
      than the rate calculated since 1951 (19512012; 0.12 [0.08 to 0.14] C per decade){2.4}”

      I’ll try to post the link separately.

    • Gordon Robertson says:

      It appears I owe Barry an apology for calling him a liar. Here is the actual quote from page 2 of the Summary for Policymakers with the correct El Nino spelling.

      “Due to natural variability, trends based on short records are very sensitive to the beginning and end dates and do not in general reflect long-term climate trends. As one example, the rate of warming over the past 15 years (19982012; 0.05 [0.05 to 0.15] C per decade), which begins with a strong El Nio, is smaller than the rate calculated since 1951 (19512012; 0.12 [0.08 to 0.14] C per decade)5. {2.4}”

      Ok, Here’s what I want to know. How can anyone possibly construe that statement to mean there was no significant warming from 1998 – 2012, some 15 years. Whether it represent a long-term climate trend or not is not the issue. The issue is that the IPCC declared it a HIATUS and Barry claimed I was misrepresenting the truth and that HE (Barry Almighty) had corrected me thrice.

      Corrected what? That the IPCC stated clearly that no significant warming occurred between 1998 and 2012? It’s right there in the quote Barry supplied. Is denial so powerful that people will not ingest what they don’t want to see?

      Besides it is incorrect what the Summary is claiming, that the now 20 year hiatus is dependent on the beginning and the end. The level of the hiatus is dependent on the huge El Nino of late 1997 but the flatness has nothing to to with it.

      That’s to be expected from the Summary which is written by 50 politically appointed lead authors. They are responsible for the 2007 statement that it is 90% likely humans are causing the warming. The main report did not state that and the 50 lead authors added it over the objection of many reviewers.

          confused_jane…I admitted to being wrong about the quote itself but I was not wrong about the content. I stated elsewhere in this thread that the IPCC stated in 2013 there had been a warming hiatus from 1998-2012 with insignificant warming. That means the degree of warming (5/100ths of a degree C/decade) and the error margin made it debatable whether it was a warming or a cooling.

          Barry sent me a snotty reply claiming he had corrected me thrice. His quote showed no correction only a comment from 50 lead authors in the Summary trying to cover up 15 years of no warming. It is now closer to 20 years and some people think that is significant for a hiatus.

          Roy’s basically a good guy. He’s nothing like Gavin Schmidt of realclimate or John Cook of skepticalscience. Roy puts up with a lot, as witnessed by your exchange with Andy. You’d both be banned on other sites for the personal comments you have made.

      Problem for you is that sea ice extent is 14K away from record low extent for the date.

      see https://ads.nipr.ac.jp/vishop/#/extent

      • Confused_Jane says:

        LOL “Yes it freezes this time of year.” but don’t tell Andrew he’ll have a breakdown over it.

        The Arctic Sea Ice will continue to freeze over the cooler winter period for decades to come. Even after there is no summer sea ice through August to September, it will continue to refreeze at a very “rapid” rate each autumn.

        Under -3C sea water freezes, doh! Don’t tell Andrew this. 🙂

        Meanwhile the maximum SIE has dropped ~10% and the Minimum by 45% since 1979. (i had some numbers on this but can’t find them now, but it easy enough to calculate it.)

        Wadhams reckons it will be ice free in summer at any time the next couple of years, but I think he is off with the faeries.

        I used to think it was possible to be ice free by ~2025 but now it looks more likely to be ice free in late aug – sept in 2030 +/- 2 years (all things being equal)

        No doubt if Andrew the Dunce is still alive he will still be calling that “natural variability” and that AGW/CC is a scam. Roy Spencer as well, for he wouldn’t ever change his “beliefs” – the ego couldn;t handle admitting he was wrong.

        But their time is running out, as fast as the rest of humanity’s is. (shrug)

          Even after there is no summer sea ice through August to September,’

          Oh you been listening to Wadhams have you. So hilarious.

          Still LOTS of Arctic sea ice

          and still a continued increase in CO2 emissions for many many years to come.

          Enjoy.

        • AndyG55 says:

          Did I mention that the average Arctic sea ice trend over the last 10 years since the AMO peaked has been basically ZERO

          The REAL DATA hurts you badly doesn’t it because you KNOW you have no come-back .

          • bobdroege says:

            I’ll believe it when I see it.

            The good money is on the continuation of the trend since like 1980, which is down, down, down.

    Confused_Jane

    I went to your banned N S I D C site and clicked on the summer months in the graphic (June, July, August). The air temperature change over the 1980 to 2015 is very slight. Why would all the Arctic summer ice melt when the temperature of the area is basically not changing during the summer months?

    • Gordon Robertson says:

      norman…”Why would all the Arctic summer ice melt when the temperature of the area is basically not changing during the summer months?”

      The presumption is that it is melting due to global warming, there’s no proof that it is. The Arctic Ocean is subject to the Arctic Oscillation, wind and ocean currents, and the AMO. It’s a very complex system and the ice could be simply breaking up due to normal summer warming and being swept into the North Atlantic where it melts.

      I was reading accounts of two different explorers who tried walking to the North Pole from the northernmost tip of Canada, on Ellesmere Island. Both of them had to make the attempt in February and March at the latest because the ice starts breaking up after that.

      One of them, Ranulph Fiennes, made it to the Pole then road the chunk of ice overlying the Pole down to Greenland, where he was picked up by a support vessel.

      • Confused_Jane says:

        “The presumption is that it is melting due to global warming, theres no proof that it is.”

        Gordon, here’s a wooden nickle to invest in a brain transplant. Your’s isn’t working real well LOL

    • AndyG55 says:

      The last of the El Nino warmth has just about gone.

      Have you seen what’s happening in Greenland?

      MASSIVE SMB gain on the east coast, and if you look at the chart, the gains are well above average, to say the least.

      http://www.dmi.dk/en/groenland/maalinger/greenland-ice-sheet-surface-mass-budget/

      • AndyG55 says:

        REAL DATA !!!!

      • bobdroege says:

        Round here we don’t call 1-2 inches of snow massive.

        just saying

        • AndyG55 says:

          yep 12 Gt is nothing.. of course.

          You seem nearly as confused as confused_monkey is.

          • bobdroege says:

            You know, don’t you that the SMB is just the snowfall vs runoff, which doesn’t take into account the calving of icebergs, which puts the loss at 200 Gt/yr.

            “The calving loss is greater than the gain from surface mass balance, and Greenland is losing mass at about 200 Gt/yr”

            that’s from your cite by the way

          • AndyG55 says:

            SMB Gain last year was about 250GT.

            Do the maths.. if you can.

          • bobdroege says:

            I’ll have you know I scored a perfect 36 on the math portion of the ACT.

            Surface mass balance – calving = Total ice loss

            250 Gtons – calving = -200 Gtons

            Solving for calving gives 450 Gtons.

            Ouch, math stinks!

            That’s gonna leave a mark.

          • AndyG55 says:

            Idiot.. Your comprehension is LIMITED. !!

            The 200GT is the loss from calving etc

            note 2011,12 line Are you saying there was less loss that year

            250GT gain – 200GT calving etc = 50 GT gain this year

            Now read the stuff in that link, and try not to be such a bozo.

          • AndyG55 says:

            Some of you AGW cultists really don’t get it do you !!

            The late 1970’s was a time of VERY HIGH sea ice and high Greenland mass.

            Both are, of course , closely, but inversely, link to a cycle called the AMO, which was at its very lowest around 1979.

            The AMO cycle has been on its flatish peak since about 2007, but is just starting to drop.

            Unfortunately, Greenland mass and the Arctic sea ice will start to climb again.

            Hopefully they will not climb up to the EXTREMES of 1979, but remain at a much more beneficial lower level.

            There would be massive benefits to everyone living up in the region from actually being able to navigate the region for more than a few weeks each year.

            There are many indications that before the LIA, the region was navigable for at least part of the year, and that earlier in the Holocene, the Arctic was often ice free in summer. Imagine just how beneficial that would have been for fishing, commerce etc .

          • bobdroege says:

            You have to read and understand your own cites.

            The surface mass balance is snow minus melt and sublimation.

            It doesn’t include calving, as your cites says.

            Here is a quote from your cite

            “The calving loss is greater than the gain from surface mass balance, and Greenland is losing mass at about 200 Gt/yr.”

            Greenland is losing ice, not gaining it.

            There is no evidence the AMO has anything to do with the Greenland surface mass balance or the arctic ice area, extent or volume.

          • AndyG55 says:

            You didn’t bother trying to read and understand the extra links did you.

            You are speaking nonsense.

            Remain confused as long as you want. Doesn’t bother me.

          • AndyG55 says:

            Odd that you still haven’t figured out that GRACE ice mass measurements are rather suspect.

            They showed the Antarctic losing mass when it turned out it was gaining it.

            Have you been talking to that other dip that rants here.. would explain your confusion.

          • bobdroege says:

            I wasn’t referring to GRACE or Antarctica, I was just quoting parts of the article you so generously provided.

            If you don’t understand what you bring to the table, not my problem.

            Here I have a worse than they thought cite for you. Greenland is melting 20 Gtons a year faster than previously thought.

            http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/2/9/e1600931.full

          • Nate says:

            Andy,

            Bob also did well on reading comprehension on his ACT. Not so sure about you though.

            The article clearly states that the Greenland net mass loss is -200 GT/y.

            No ambiguity-that’s what it says.

    • Nate says:

      Norman,

      The air temperature in summer has no choice but to be the temperature of ice/ocean equilibrium, i.e about 32 F. Any added heat goes into melting ice.

      Only when there is complete ice cover does it vary much-.i.e in winter. You can see that here:

      http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/meant80n.uk.php

      • Norman says:

        Nate

        Thanks. But I still wonder where the energy is going to come from to melt the ice in the summer.

        When I go to the CERES page and make up graphs of the Arctic Circle

        https://ceres-tool.larc.nasa.gov/ord-tool/jsp/EBAFSFCSelection.jsp

        I look at the Surface Net Total Flux All-Sky and make a graph from the “area mean time series” virtual button. At least from 2000 to now there is not much change in the Total radiant flux which seems to be evident in the current ice data. No sign of increased melting in the last few years.

        http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/seaice.area.arctic.png

        It is not just a matter of the temperature being held back by heat of fusion but there just does not seem to be extra energy available to do much melting (unless it comes in from an external source like a warm ocean current).

        • Norman says:

          Nate

          Using the same link to the CERES tool you can make a graph of the Surface Longwave Flux Down All-Sky and make an area mean time series graph. At least from 2000 to now no evidence of any enhanced GHE at the Arctic Circle.

          https://www.co2.earth/

          From this graph it looks like CO2 was around 368 PPM in 2000 and now is over 400 PPM so it has increased around 8% in that time but it does not seem to show up in radiation graphs of the Arctic Circle.

        • Nate says:

          Norman,

          Ok thanks.

          I just don’t know if sky flux in arctic is most important factor for determining ice melt. Certainly heat transport from lower to higher latitudes is important (gulf stream!). But all of the lowest sea-ice years have been since 2000.
