Home/BlogNOTE: This post was updated on 30 August to include Hurricane Michael (2018).
Atlantic hurricane activity is notoriously variable, not only from year to year, but decade to decade.
In fact, based upon studies of overwash sediments in coastal lakes stretching from the Florida panhandle to eastern Louisiana, it appears that the period from 1,000 to 3,800 years ago had a considerably higher incidence of Category 4 & 5 hurricanes than in the last 1,000 years. These are admittedly indirect, proxy estimates, but if you read this American Scientist article, it sounds like the researchers have pretty strong evidence.
Why would major hurricane activity vary so much? No one knows. Our climate is a nonlinear dynamical system, capable of undergoing unforced changes both locally and globally. Atmospheric steering currents, wind shear, and African easterly wave activity all play a role in hurricane formation. Tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the late summer are always sufficiently warm to support a major hurricane and are, in my opinion, overrated as a controlling factor. Factors other than SST tend to largely determine hurricane activity and strength.
More direct measurements of hurricane landfalls in Florida have only been possible in the last 120 years or so since prior to 1900 very few people lived there. Before 1900, the intensities of these storms at landfall were quite uncertain. It could be some even went unreported.
If we examine the record of major (Category 3 or greater) hurricanes at landfall in Florida since 1900, and assume that Hurricane Dorian strikes Florida as a 115 kt Category 4 storm, we see that there will still be no long-term trends in either the intensity or number of major landfalling hurricanes.
If Hurricane Dorian makes landfall in Florida as a 115 kt Category 4 storm, there will still be no long term trend in Florida major hurricane landfalls since 1900.
This is not to say there won’t be potentially catastrophic damage. For example, the population of Miami in 1900 was less than 1,700 people. It is now 2.74 million. Needless to say, vast expanses of storm-vulnerable infrastructure has been built over the last 120 years across the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metroplex, and northward along most of the Florida coastline.
But increasing storm damage does not mean increasing storminess.
I am going to re-post this:

“What this is revealing is a net flow of a large amount of heat energy from the Equator to the poles.”
I would say, a large amount of heat energy from the tropical ocean to the poles.
The heat energy is atmospheric and warmed oceanic waters.
Or the tropical ocean is the heat engine of our world.
Tropical ocean average surface temperature is about 26 C.
Tropics is 40% of earth surface.
Tropical ocean is about 40% of entire ocean and remain 60% the world’s
ocean has average surface temperature of about 11 C.
And entire average ocean surface temperature is about 17 C.
If entire average ocean surface temperature had an uniform temperature
of 17 C {not change amount of heat of surface entire ocean}, Earth average temperature would be much warmer.
What would be dramatically warmer if ocean surface had uniform temperature of
17 C is the average land temperature.
Or currently the global land temperature is currently about 10 C. And with uniform Ocean surface of 17 C, average land would about 15 C. Or many would call increasing, all land temperature by 5 C as being dramatic warming.
But I would point out that 15 C {59 F} is not very warm.
And more importantly I would point out, as was mentioned in above article, is we are living in an Icebox Climate. And often referred as the Ice Age.
Icebox or icehouse climate is probably a better term than Ice Age because icebox climate is polar icesheets {ice caps] and a cold ocean.
A cold ocean as is commonly said, 90% of entire Ocean is 3 C or colder.
Or the average temperature of entire ocean is about 3.5 C.
One reason “preventing” our ocean surface temperature from having a near uniform temperature of about 17 C is our average temperature of our entire ocean is about 3.5 C.
Or might easy to see that if the average temperature of the entire ocean was not 3.5 C but instead was 15 C, then a uniform ocean surface temperature could be closer to uniform temperature of 17 C, rather than merely an average temperature of 17 C.
Though I would not argue that if entire ocean was 15 C that average surface would be a lot warmer than 17 C, but with entire ocean being 15 C, it would make {or require} that the temperature of ocean surface is a lot more uniform- then it is now.
For instance, if the entire ocean temperature was 15 C, the average surface temperature of tropical ocean might remain close to 26 C, and 60% of rest of ocean instead of being 11, is say, 16 C
40 x 26 = 1040
60 x 11 = 660
= 17
And
40 x 26 = 1040
60 x 16 = 960
= 20 C
Or average ocean surface of 20 C
which I would say is more uniform compared to what we got, probably mean arctic average ocean surface water of about 10 C, and could freeze in winter, but would not have polar sea ice most of the time. Or like the Great Lakes or Hudson Bay is currently. And volume temperature of relative small arctic ocean could be say, about 5 C.
But ocean with average volume of 15 C is not a cold ocean and you aren’t in icebox climate, instead in a “greenhouse” climate or also called Hothouse climate.
Hothouse same thing or same meaning as greenhouse. I think Brits tend say hothouse. And a hothouse climate doesn’t polar ice sheets. And is not in an Ice Age.
So in sense having less extreme conditions found in an Ice Age, we can call this “warming”. And we have been warming since we left the Little Ice Age or about 1850 AD.
But average volume ocean in 1850 AD, was about 3.5 C as it is today. But some claim it’s warmed as much as .2 C. But we have not measured the ocean enough to say whether ocean is 3.5 C, presently.
We limited to saying Earth average temperature is about 15 C. The Southern Hemisphere is about 1 C cooler than Northern Hemisphere. And average volume ocean temperature is about 3.5 C. And these about numbers have not really changed in last 100 years.
Or when this religion began, and it was said that Earth average temperature was about 15 C, that was correct, then.
And it is now.
Though you can humor us, and give a number to tenths and/or hundredths of a degree.
Nice to get a laugh whenever you are living in an Ice Age.–
Why I re-posted it, is because I “accidently” explained something which been trying to explain for quite a long time.
Normally I would say it this way, the world is not as warm as it appears.
Or other times I would say, a uniform temperature is not the same as an average temperature- as it relates to the basic model of Greenhouse effect theory.
The basic model is an ideal thermal conductive blackbody, which at Earth distance, give a uniform temperature of about 5 C. And then the “greenhouse effect theory” subtracts from this the aspect that Earth reflects 30% of sunlight and arrive at model which -18 C
average global temperature or -18 C uniform global temperature.
Or it’s assumed or skipped that average and uniform is the same thing.
Now, I am not saying I correctly explained it, it more about illustrating the difference of uniform and average temperature.
What is true about the world is the tropics has a high average temperature and rest of world as low average temperature.
Or 40% of class does well on a test exam and 60% does not do well on a test exam. And because 40% does well it raises the class average scores, but doesn’t make 60% of class do better on their test results {doesn’t make the rest of class warmer}.
But reality is the tropical ocean does warm the rest of world or it’s similar to the 40% allowing 60% to see their answers or allows the rest of class to cheat on the exam.
So 40% share some answers to 60% and class average score increases. So you have two things giving illusion that 60% of class is smarter or can do better at doing a test exam.
The Ideal thermally conductive blackbody model indicate a world at 1 AU has uniform temperature of about 5 C and that real world would have an average temperature of around 5 C.
And allows a possibility of large portion of world to be well above 0 C and a large portion of world to be below 0 C.
One make rule that worlds without oceans do not have an uniform temperature.
Or Earth without it’s oceans would have wider range of temperatures, or less resembling having an uniform temperature.
The rule would be better if worlds without oceans and/or a significant atmosphere do not have a temperatures which are somewhat uniform.
Mars surface can warm higher than 20 C, average temperature about -50 to -60 C and goes below -100 C. Wide swings in day and night and cold polar winters {a uniformity in terms being cold when sunlight doesn’t reaches region for months- but not as cold as the Moon’s surface when sunlight doesn’t reach it for 2 weeks.
{and I said before, if Mars had tropical ocean, it would have higher average temperature- it would have more uniform temperature in tropics which is 40% of the entire area of planet.}

Soon there will be a very strong blockade of the stratospheric polar vortex near the Earth’s south magnetic pole.

Yeah, winter is an interesting time.
Real interesting. Wind speed at 10 hPa were hitting 330 mph at the peak of the now dissipating SSW event at the South Pole. Those winds slowed a bit today along with a cooling in the SSW area. At the same time the secondary rotation which has been growing as it interacts with the primary rotation has seen a sunstantial increase in high speed winds. The total picture is a large region of the SH has high winds at 10 hPa. … https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/10hPa/overlay=temp/orthographic=-313.87,-89.47,481/loc=148.444,-77.527

Dorian is beheaded by the upper winds.
I’m pretty sure he stabbed himself.
Anyone else having difficulties with this blog? I submit a comment and it doesn’t post and I have to re-write the whole thing. I copied to my notepad first and tried like 4 times and couldn’t get a link to post.
Nate I still owe you more responses when I can fix the issue.
scott r…”Anyone else having difficulties with this blog? I submit a comment and it doesn’t post and I have to re-write the whole thing”.
First of all, before you post do a copy/paste to a word processor or Notepad. Or just a copy, in case you lose the post.
If it doesn’t post, look for letter combinations like d-c, without the hyphen. eg. Had-crut. Do that in links as well.
If I suspect a link, I post w/o the link, explaining that I am testing. If it posts w/o link, troubleshoot link.
If the post won’t work and you have copy/pasted to Notepad or whatever, try posting the first paragraph. If it posts, try the next paragraph as a separate post in reply to the first post.
By messing around like that you can isolate the offending word or letter combo.
I have found it’s usually one word or letter combo and there are not a lot of them. I can get all of my posts posted, eventually.
“I can get all of my posts posted, eventually.”
Which is a pity.
droll…”“I can get all of my posts posted, eventually.”
Which is a pity”.
Yes…from the perspective of alarmist weenies and weenies like you who simply troll.
Thanks Gordon Robertson, good tips.
Scott, Use this web page to paste your text – it will convert all characters to those read by this website:
https://mothereff.in/html-entities
There are a few words and strings that are banned here for one reason or another.
Any words with the letters D an C next to each other in that order. This is annoying for the acronym NCD.C. Putting a full stop between solves that problem.
A.b.s.o.r.p.t.i.o.n
R.e.f.r.i.g.e.r.a.t.i.o.n
Those 2 words also cause posts to be binned.
I’ve read that posts will not allow more than 5 links. Not sure if that’s strictly true or not.
barry, there is no problem with “refrigeration”.
I’ve pointed this out before.
It seems once you get a belief in your head, no one can get it out….
Test:
fridge
refrigerate
Maybe Roy changed something. Some version of that word used not to allow posts. Gordon also pointed it out in the past.
Why on earth would you use a blog as an editor? Create your post in a text editor then copy/paste it into the web page editor. Be smarter than the problem.
Some problems at this site are peculiar to this site. If you can find a text editor that allows you to post the letters D and C consecutively here, pls let us know.
dc
What did you do? I just typed D and C together and my post didn’t make it. What was your workaround, Svante?
I used html character codes instead of letters, see:
https://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm
Should work for El Niño too.
Code 128515 is 😃
Testing.
Thanks for looking into it Roy. It seems a link to the NOAA tides and currents database was holding up my posts for some reason.

Did the link have ncd-c in it? Without hyphen, of course.
If a link does have ncd-c, add the hyphen or * between d*c and advise reader to remove the – or * and copy/paste to URL bar in browser.
Or just convert any problematic links to a tiny url in a couple of seconds.

The mean number of hurricanes per decade is 4.3 and the 90% confidence limits are +/-6.8.
The uncertainty is so large that you cannot make any meaningful statements about trends or the lack of a trend.
I’m not very keen on using hurricanes hitting Florida as a metric. It means that many (most?) Atlantic hurricanes are not counted and the sample size is much reduced.
Using an artificially small sample is a good way to make sure that you do not find any trend.
Yep. Excellent point.
No reason to limit to Florida if interested in question: Are Atlantic hurricanes strengthening?
Except when it is in your advantage, then any limit is legitimate.
Proof of that claim?
Number of major hurricanes of all atlantic, landfalling or not landfalling, is increasing.
Fritz Kraut says:
Number of major hurricanes of all atlantic, landfalling or not landfalling, is increasing.
——————
Thats not true. More hurricanes are observed in the modern era because of technology. Efforts to fill in missing storms in past decades results in a trend indistinguishable from zero.
Satellites have been picking up all Atlantic hurricanes since the mid-1960s.
1960’s is a very short time period. Unless, of course, one wishes to ascribe any increase to industrialization, then…..
LG
Only challenging his BS claim. Consider that done.
“Thats not true.”
_________________________________
Data say it IS true.
Number of Major Hurricanes is increasing since 1850. (0.13/dec)
And its increasing since satellite era. There even more. (0.15/dec)

Dr. Spencer it seems that the measurement of wind velocities in tropical storms and hurricanes have been changed from when I was growing up in Houston. Slightly Off Topic but important to the overall narrative. At 1303 CDST 8/28/2019. I heard a NWS announcement on the radio that Tropical Storm Dorian had transitioned to a hurricane. I typed up a list of windspeeds at surface(55kph, 34mph) 1000hPa(75kph/46.5mph), 850(110kph/68;2mph), and 700 hPA(44kph/27.3mph) from memory at 17:23, because when I submitted the post at WUWT it said it was not accepted and I had to go to an appointment. The storm has now moved past the island and I have taken readings at the same relevant quadrant of the storm (NNE) at Surface, 1000, 850, 700 hPA those speeds are (95kph/59 mph at Surface)(107kph/67mph at 1000 (363ft above sea surface))(120 kph/114mph at 4770 ft above sea level 850hP$)(97kph/74.4mph at 9800ft above sea level 700hPA) at 1750 hrs When I was a lad of 8 and Dan Rather got famous for his Hurricane Carla coverage they reported wind speed as measured on an aneometer that was no more than 40ft above ground level and hurricane force 1 winds started at 75mph. It would appear that wind speed is now measured at 850hPA or an altitude of about 4500 ft above the sea level surface. Are they anticipating drastic sea level rise or just fudging the numbers to get more hurricanes as they are doing with sun spots and thermometers over asphalt and air conditioner exhausts in cities with UHI affects? Used earth:nullschool to capture data both times. Since yesterday have been using null school measurements which appear to track Dorian eye position to about .1degree of positional agreement with NOAA storm track yet their statement is that sustained winds have been at 85mph when at surface 1000hPA, 850hPA, 700hPA and 500hPA my results measure kph values not mph vales ie 85kph or 52.7mph what am I doing wrong
I love Trump response to the hurricane possibly hitting Puerto Rico. His main concern, er more like complaint, was having to send more money to this US territory!
Take note, Greenland!
Now that it may hit Florida, suddenly hes on high alert, cancelling trips etc
What a mensch!
There is a lot difference between a Cat 1 and a Cat 4, but possible doesn’t hit US and/or it’s a Cat 1 or tropical.
But it could be 3, 4, or worst.
I think in a certain sense he acts quite rational. I am not an american here, but afaik US president is elected by the states, not by the citizens. Puerto Rico – not a state, tehrefore why would he care.
Because he is a compassionate person??
I think anyone should care about a Cat 4
‘in a certain sense he acts quite rational.’
Yeah, in the same sense that mobsters act rationally when they have their rivals killed.
coturnix…”but afaik US president is elected by the states, not by the citizens”.
The states are the citizens. The US has a quaint process of using an electoral college to vote for president but normally the electors vote according to the popular vote in each state.
They don’t have to and I think that’s why it is quaint. The system is archaic and badly in need of an overhaul.
The Democrats are current using a 200 years old entry in their Constitution in an attempt to impeach Trump. It has no validity to the current presidency but as long as that old garbage is allowed to exist in the Constitution, idiots will try to apply it for their own benefit.
https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/about.html
https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/electors.html#restrictions
The US Constitution has withstood much abuse. The people of the US are lucky the administrative state still pretends to abide by the restrictions on the behavior of government. The electoral college is one of those restrictions. It is a good thing.
Monitoring Dorian wind speeds (NOAA) at 10m altitude 9:00 pm EST. Max sustained wind speeds are currently 54 mph.
Where are they getting the 85 mph sustained winds?
That 54 mph barely qualifies as a tropical storm. You have to go up to an altitude of 1000m to see any hurricane force wind speeds…BUT THAT’S NOT HOW IT WAS EVER DONE IN THE PAST.
I don’t like not being able to trust our news reporting. Feels like living in China or the Middle East…where lies are just part of doing business.
Yeah – Faux News does give that feel.
Dr Spencer wrote –
“Our climate is a nonlinear dynamical system, capable of undergoing unforced changes both locally and globally.”
Chaotic. Changes all by itself. No “forcings” needed.
Fortune sellers such as “climate scientists”, economists, financial planners, and all the rest, don’t want to admit chaos and unpredictability are real and part of the natural order of things.
CO2 heats nothing, but even if it did, nobody could say with certainty what the consequences would be. Maybe good for some, but bad for others – who knows? Much ado about nothing. I am sure the time effort and money wasted on pointless efforts to peer into the future could be better spent on useful things. Maybe a cure for rhe common cold or hay fever? Better outcomes for spinal surgery? Non addictive pain relief, perhaps?
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, seems a reasonable approach.
Cheers.

ren,
The Nino 1+2 region has started to spike back down again, about a 40% retrace of the up move so far…
https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/ocean/nino12.png
The 3.4 region has made a smaller 20% retracement…
https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/ocean/nino34.png
This is still heading towards La Nina. I think the 1+2, 3.4 regions have an inverse relationship short term. Intermediate term they have a direct relationship. So by studying the retracements, we can see if the momentum is still heading towards La Nina.
20%?? That is meaningless against an arbitrary baseline.
As meaningless as your comment?
Cheers.
Scott R, I think La Nina will grow when solar activity increases. Tomorrow, a fast solar wind from the coronal hole will reach Earth, and the next wave is on its way.

It is likely that Hurricane Dorian will reach the east coast of Florida.
The strong geomagnetic storm on Sunday will increase the speed of jet streams. As a result, hurricane strength will also increase.
Its strength will increase because it will move over warmer water (assuming the predicted path is maintained). Where do you get this rubbish from?
midas…”Its strength will increase because it will move over warmer water (assuming the predicted path is maintained). Where do you get this rubbish from?”
ren knows more about meteorology than you do anything. ren tries to contribute scientific information to Roy’s blog whereas all you tend to do is whine. You’re not even a good whiner.
What evidence do you have for him knowing anything about meteorology? Are you claiming that hurricanes don’t strengthen as they move over warmer water?
ren from yesterday:
“the jet stream over North America will contribute to weakening the Dorian storm”
You expert on meteorology feels the need to hedge his bets.

Mi-Des, please stop trolling.
When we start looking at climate data from thousands of years ago, just about everything goes out the window. Somewhere between 5,000 and 11,000 years ago the Sahara Desert was lush jungle. Somewhere before 11,000 years ago glaciers covered much if not most of the Northern Hemisphere. That major hurricanes were more prevalent several thousand years ago probably is just a symptom of massive climate swings that are common when measured on such time scales. Climate swings like this are affected by the direction of the earth’s axis with respect to the orbital plane, which is known, and solar radiance, which is virtually unknown beyond a few hundred years ago. CO2 levels have been significantly higher in the past than at present. Frankly, it is hubris that makes humans think we have much of an effect on climate. Further, and even more hubristic, is that the current generation of alarmists thinks they know the “ideal” climate and what humans should do to achieve it.
Truth.
David…”Frankly, it is hubris that makes humans think we have much of an effect on climate”.
That’s putting it kindly. Mainly it is sheer stupidity based on a faulty brain which the bearer has no idea is faulty. In some circles that condition is referred to as The Cosmic Joke.
Nope, a fair account of the past and a load of bollocks about the present.
At the peak of the last glacial period about 20000 years ago, the ice sheets only made it down into the very northern part of the USA. Perhaps do some research instead of inventing your own “facts”.
I don’t know if hubris is the correct word to describe the belief some people have about influencing their environment. It is similar to the guilt people have when something goes wrong and they say ‘if only I had…’
It was not so long ago that human sacrifices were made to the gods to change drought, floods, heat, crop failure… whatever. ‘We did something to anger the gods so we must assuage our guilt by killing something to humor them’. The same goes on today. Since we are hurting the environment, something must be done. In today’s world the guilty party is industrialization. Those who will be punished are the poor, while those recommending the sacrifices will remain rich and jetting around to conferences.
Nothing has changed. Only the players. It is about control of others. Not hubris.
Lewis guignard says:
It is about control of others.
Actually it’s about the direct opposite — seeing that no one pollutes and affects all others, or changes the climate for the next 100,000 years, wiping out all coastal cities in the process, forcing hundreds of millions of people to abandon their homes, seeing that no one threatens the food supply of, especially, the poor.
But don’t worry Lewis, you’ll be just fine. That’s all that matters.
It’s all about control of others, by touting the fears you mentioned, DA.
That human activity is changing the global temperature is not hubris or belief or religion or a need for control.
It’s the conclusion of scientific research.
That’s a fact.
Wrong barry, “pseudoscience” is NOT scientific.
Roy Spencer, Richard Lindzen, John Christy, Roger Pielke Senior and other ‘skeptics’ who have the qualifications to understand the science know that it is sound. The only hubris here is that you think you know better than them.
It would be mildly interesting to see how you frame their agreement with the enhanced greenhouse effect. Stupid or suckered?
barry, from what I know, both Drs Spencer and Christy accept the GHE. They do not dispute the “theory”, AFAIK. They prefer to challenge it in a different way, developing the science of using satellites. I think that is great. There is more than one way to skin a dead squirrel.
And, from physics, the GHE is a “dead squirrel”. As Mike Flynn repeatedly implies, no one can state the GHE so that the laws of physics are not violated.
When you approve the violation of the laws of physics, perversion and corruption of the data, and then try to hide behind people legitimately working to make proper and valid observations, you are up to your neck in pseudoscience.
Do you know how to swim?
AFAICS, the common misconception that GHE effect somehow violates the laws of physics stems from people making a simple mistake of confusing the summary energy fluxes, which need to obey the 2nd law, and the quantities such as radiance that pertain to the particular subset of photons traveling from point a to point b. The individual radiant fluxes need not subject to the simplified and sometimes erroneously interpreted formulations of the second law as often used. Should there be an unrecognized hypothetical error in radiative physics as applied to the GHE it would be a rather subtle effect, not obvious on a simplified treatment of the subject as it is often done, but not omething like GHE not being there.

“The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet’s atmosphere warms the planet’s surface to a temperature above what it would be without this atmosphere”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect
That is misleading and/or wrong. Next:
“Radiatively active gases (i.e., greenhouse gases) in a planet’s atmosphere radiate energy in all directions. Part of this radiation is directed towards the surface, warming it.”
Greenhouse gases don’t increase the surface temperature.
It’s possible greenhouse gases might increase the average surface air temperature.
Or might increase the air temperature, and can’t increase the ground or ocean surface temperature. Air is not a surface, surface air refers to air near the surface.
But rather than going over all that wrong about the greenhouse effect theory.
What is right about it?
It seems it’s right when it states the water vapor is most dominate greenhouse gas.
But generally greenhouse gases have very small effect upon our present global average temperature.
And if going to talk present global temperature, the most relevant aspect is we are currently in an Ice Age.
And in terms of Earth history, most of time, had much higher global average temperatures.
It seems debatable that current CO2 levels would prevent us from returning to glacial period. Our Ice Age has glacial and interglacial periods. Higher CO2 level might have some affect upon returning to a glacial period, but Higher CO2 levels are going cause us to leave our present Ice Age.
gbaikie, the second sentence of the wiki link is the violation of 2LoT: “Radiatively active gases (i.e., greenhouse gases) in a planet’s atmosphere radiate energy in all directions. Part of this radiation is directed towards the surface, warming it.”
The radiation directed towards the surface does NOT “warm it”. “Cold” does NOT warm “hot”.

Yes. The greenhouse effect theory is not a theory it’s pseudo science.
But “cold” can warm “hot” but it’s not a radiant process.
The relatively cold clouds of Venus does warm the rocky surface of Venus, and it’s not violation of 2LoT.
And the same process does occur on Earth but it not significant aspect that has much to do with global or surface air temperature.
It involves convectional process, rather than than radiant process.
The foolish aspect about “The greenhouse effect theory” is the claim that it’s too complicated to explain and a simplified version given is for “public consumption”.
But global climate can be explain in simple terms. Anyone can explain it so the public can understand- if one happens to actually understand it, but the fools promoting “greenhouse effect theory” don’t vaguely understand it, don’t want to understand it, instead they have silly religion they are promoting.
gbaikie, you seem to understand that the GHE is nonsense, but yet want to cling to the associated pseudoscience, for some reason.
When I state “cold” can NOT warm “hot”, that is shorthand for a cold object can NOT, by itself, raise the temperature of a hotter object. Which is just an abbreviated rehash of 2LoT.
So when you state: But “cold” can warm “hot” but it’s not a radiant process, you are, possibly unintentionally, misleading people. “Cold” can NEVER warm “hot”, by its own means, anywhere in the known Universe.
What you may be referring to is blocking convection and/or conduction. If someone doesn’t understand 2LoT, they might say putting on a coat is an example of “cold” warming “hot”. But, they are really just indicating they do not understand the thermodynamics involved. All they have to do is put the coat on a corpse to learn differently.
“Cold” can NOT warm “hot”.

Well the term, global warming was not invented by the pseudoscience,
lefties steal labels, it’s a full time job for them.
So, perhaps the “cling to the associated pseudoscience” is because use some to the words that the religious have robbed and perverted for their demented purposes.
“So when you state: But cold can warm hot but its not a radiant process, you are, possibly unintentionally, misleading people. Cold can NEVER warm hot, by its own means, anywhere in the known Universe.”
A hot flame can cool, as with propane refrigerator.
And it’s not just humans involved with the refrigeration business.
If you compress gas, it heats.
An atmosphere in gravity field compresses gas. And molecules of gas “are machines” which transfer kinetic energy.
A way to look at it, a gas molecule is in a vast empty space, which not made empty by trillions molecule going every direction, their travel at a speed of bullet “fills the space”.
In atmosphere in gravity field, there less traffic up, rather than down, and kinetic energy does tend to go up, but it also goes down and there other factors which make it tend to go down.
And down is hotter because their more traffic in the empty space.
” What you may be referring to is blocking convection and/or conduction. If someone doesnt understand 2LoT, they might say putting on a coat is an example of cold warming hot.

What talking about only works with gases. Which also true of refrigeration. Now to make it better, refrigeration also uses condensation. And I am not really talking about that, but I will note that Venus clouds do rain.
no one can state the GHE so that the laws of physics are not violated
Earth receives incoming energy from the sun, and part of that energy reaches the surface, warming it. Gases that are relatively transparent to sunlight absorb and re-emit the long wave radiation emitted by the surface, thereby slowing the escape of that radiation from the surface to space. The temperature of the surface is partly dependent on how efficiently the atmosphere transports energy away from the surface to space. So-called ‘greenhouse’ gases are less efficient at transporting energy to space than an atmosphere without greenhouse gases.
Therefore, the ‘greenhouse effect’ operates by slowing the rate at which energy leaves the system through the atmosphere.
No physical laws broken here.
Very good, barry. You didn’t violate any laws of physics. The atmosphere does NOT warm the surface. The atmosphere regulates the energy radiated to space, thereby maintaining Earth’s temperature within a set range. What you described is called the “atmospheric effect”.
The GHE, as originally touted, states that the atmosphere can warm the surface. And, by implication, that means “beyond its set point”. You have probably seen mention of “Earth becoming like Venus”, which is bogus.
The “atmospheric effect” is real, the GHE is pseudoscience.
PS This morning’s “atmospheric effect”:
Bright sun, clear blue sky
Directly overhead –> 7.7 F (-13.5 C)
Ground –> 80.4 F (26.9 C)
What on Earth is the “set point” of the surface temperature? That sounds like pure pseudoscience to me. Can you explain?
No one conversant with the science thinks the Earth will ever become like Venus. I don’t see that comment made here, or hardly anywhere at all, so that’s a red herring argument from you.
An increase in the amount of gases in the atmosphere that absorb (and re-emit) long wave radiation much more than they absorb solar radiation, means that the rate of energy escaping from surface to space is slowed down more than the incoming energy reaching the surface.
Any object receiving continuous energy (Earth’s surface receives solar energy) that has the rate of its energy loss slowed down must perforce, by the laws of physics, increase in temperature.
No laws of physics were broken in this post.
That is the description of the enhanced ‘greenhouse’ effect that does not break the second law by speaking of cold objects making warm ones warmer.
What on Earth is the “set point” of the surface temperature? That sounds like pure pseudoscience to me. Can you explain?
barry, the “set point” is determined by the laws of thermodynamics. It is believed to be about 288-289K.
No one conversant with the science thinks the Earth will ever become like Venus. I don’t see that comment made here, or hardly anywhere at all, so that’s a red herring argument from you.
barry, I didn’t state that real scientists were making the Earth/Venus link. So don’t try to imply otherwise. But, just in case you have missed the pseudoscience, here’s just a few:
https://www.livescience.com/59693-could-earth-turn-into-venus.html
https://www.thoughtco.com/venus-earths-sister-planet-3074105
http://ircamera.as.arizona.edu/NatSci102/NatSci102/lectures/venus.htm
The rest of your comment was covered. Obviously you don’t want to learn.
the “set point” is determined by the laws of thermodynamics. It is believed to be about 288-289K
I asked for an explanation of the “set point,” not its temperature. That is not the blackbody temperature of Earth’s surface, so how are you arriving at that figure?
The first link corroborated, the other 2 didn’t. It is still very much a fringe idea, and a red herring to bring it up in this forum.
barry, you were trying to describe the GHE, without violating the laws of physics. But, what you described was the “atmospheric effect”. You can NOT describe the GHE that does not violate the laws of physics. So, you launch into your debate tricks: wanting explanations of “set point”; distractions like saying 288-289 K is not the blackbody temperature; and trying to create a red herring about whether or not people have used Venus as a scare tactic.
If you want to learn, stop with the debate tricks.
Now, one point at a time.
I asked for an explanation of the “set point,” not its temperature.
In control theory, a “set point” is the value about which feedback subsystems use for a goal. A simple example is a thermostat on a furnace. If the temperature falls below the set point, the system is designed to turn the furnace on, until the temperature gets back to the set point.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setpoint_(control_system)
Again, no tricks, and only one discussion point at a time, if you sincerely want to learn.

JDHuffman is simply stating the obvious.
Or the “”set point” is believed to be 288-289K {14.85 C to 15.85}
and obviously it is determined by the laws of thermodynamics.
And you want him to explain how the global average surface air temperature is about 15 C {which it is believed to be}.
I would say it’s more important to understand that we living in an Icebox climate {which is also widely accepted as proper way to view global climate].
And that average global surface air temperature of about 15 C is not very useful. But this average temperature is due to average ocean global surface of 17 C and global average land surface temperature of about 10 C.
Since human are mostly confined to living on land, the average land temperature of 10 C, might be useful to know.
Particularly, if humans are planning to remain living on 30% of Earth surface which is land surface, and compounded with possessing irrational fears about an over population of human beings on planet Earth.
We living in an Ice Age, on land which has average temperature of 10 C, and about 30% of all land is deserts {or land that doesn’t get enough yearly rainfall]. Few people are living where there is average temperature of about 15 C {I do} and we have educational system terrorizing children about the idea that average global temperature could get warmer than 15 C.
Where is an average land temperature with 20 C?
I will guess Mexico City. Now, I will check. Nope, apparently it’s average is 16.5 C. Though average of the country of Mexico is a bit over 21 C.
Or school children are terrorized they might in the future live in world like Mexico- though the fire and brimstone of future implanted in the kiddies minds is not like anyplace on Earth.
The leading priest of the religion want world with fewer than 1 billion people. And in this utopia, they probably want to live until they are 120 year old {or older} or world with far fewer children. Though maybe, everyone going to have commit suicide at age 30, an world without any adults. Anyhow, some kind brave new world with a totalitarian rule.
A blackbody surface temperature of mostly a transparent ocean surface which ,has average tropical surface of 26 C, and rest ocean surface average is about 11 C.
Now when have enough atmosphere is insulates regions of Earth, or in what could call the latitudinal bands or regions of Earth getting about same amount sunlight in a day of a year.
Or in climate there is Tropical Zone, the Temperate Zones, and Polar regions, five latitudinal bands.
In a Ice Age there large differences of temperature in these latitudinal bands. And in hothouse climate there isn’t a large difference in temperatures.
Since we in an Ice Age, it doesn’t make much sense to talk about an average surface air temperature.
And we living in a world with large cooling mechanisms and the focus is on what warming the Planet.
The answer is sunlight and the tropical ocean heat engine {which adding warmth to our cold world}.
Definition of “set point,” according to the wiki link you helpfully provided, Huffman:
In cybernetics and control theory, a setpoint (also set point or set-point) is the desired or target value for an essential variable, or process value of a system.
This isn’t cybernetics and control theory.
The set point is a “desired quantity”, rather than one determined by physics?
If you can’t make this real clear in the next post, I think any reader of our conversation would agree that you are posting pseudoscience.
Make this so clear that I could explain it to any reasonably competent adult, please. So far it is very garbled. I think you’re flailing. But a cogent post that nails your view down clearly would sort that out. No BS please, just clarity.
barry, you’ve never studied control theory. You’ve never studied the relevant physics. You’ve never studied thermodynamics.
And now, because you can’t understand, it’s MY fault?
I told you no more tricks. I’m not using any BS. When I tried to explain, using the simple example of a furnace thermostat, and linking you to the explanation of “set point”, you respond with your denial.
If you were honest, you would just admit you don’t want to learn. You want to keep your false religion. I’ve seen it all before.
Nothing new.
A set point is a desired range quantity that humans design a system to stay within. This does not explain how you derive 288-289K in any way. All you’ve suggested so far is that an intelligent designer has made that the value for the Earth.
Are you unable to explain the mechanics and show the equations?
barry, don’t get hung up on terms or definitons. Try to understand the concepts. Physics is NOT about semantics. Don’t look for ways to confuse the issues. That just makes you appear as if you’re afraid of reality.
Earth’s temperature is maintained as if it were a “set point”. The laws of physics provide the mechanisms to control around that set point. Earth receives energy, and the oceans and atmosphere work to maintain the set point based on that input. Too hot, things happen. Too cold, things happen.
There are many equations involved, if you wanted to delve into the details. One, easy to understand, is the Stefan-Boltzmann Law. That Law states that the radiated emission from a surface is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature.
Now, it’s time to check your understanding.
Question 1: If a surface increases from 250 K to 300 K, how much does the emission increase? (Choose the best answer.)
a) Stays the same.
b) 20% increase.
c) 100% increase.
d) 200% increase.
Well it’s been over 24 hours and barry is a “no show”. His type just can’t handle facts and logic.
Nothing new.
So you are unable to do it. Unsurprising.
d) is the best answer, but inaccurate, and quite meaningless.
What a waste of time you are.
Yes barry, a 20% increase in temperature is countered by a 200% increase in emission. That’s bad news for you worriers because it means Earth is easily able to handle any excess warming.
That’s just one example of how a control system and set point work.
But, likely you are unable to understand it.
Nothing new.
“Frankly, it is hubris that makes humans think we have much of an effect on climate.”
No just science. The same kind that gave you all the facts in your post.
“Further, and even more hubristic, is that the current generation of alarmists thinks they know the ‘ideal’ climate”
No, but it was significantly easier for hunter-gatherer societies to respond to climate change–by moving, and very gradually, without our massive infrastructure, coastal cities, agriculture, etc
David, your comment made several errors.
The angle of Earth’s axis changes too slowly to explain warming since 1850.
Nor has the Sun changed enough to explain modern warming.
And higher CO2 levels in the past must be compared against a dimmer Sun back then.
All of these should be known by anyone who wants an opinion on climate change.
DA argues with himself, again:
Nor has the Sun changed enough to explain modern warming.
And higher CO2 levels in the past must be compared against a dimmer Sun back then.

Visiting space will be “just like going on a cruise” says space hotel architect
“The first commercial space hotel will be more like a cruise ship than Stanley Kubrick’s sleek space station from 2001, says Tim Alatorre, senior design architect of the Von Braun Space Station.
The Gateway Foundation is designing the world’s first space hotel the Von Braun Space Station with the aim of making visiting space accessible to everyone.
It will have gravity, full-working kitchens, bars, and interiors made with natural materials and colours.”

It would be easier to cruise through the Northwest Passage in mid-winter.
“cruising through the Northwest Passage in mid-winter, would require a lot time and lacks a view, can’t do it in less than week.
Orbit is minutes away and minutes away to get back on Earth, and could land anywhere on Earth. So go to space before or after a slower cruise ship traveling somewhere. And finish it all before completing “cruising through the Northwest Passage in mid-winter” {probably in a Russian Nuclear powered icebreaker}.
Also:
“The goal of the Gateway Foundation is to have the Von Braun operational by 2025 with 100 tourists visiting the station per week, he continued.
“Because the overall costs are still so high most people assume that space tourism will only be available to the super rich, and while I think this will be true for the next several years, the Gateway Foundation has a goal of making space travel open to everyone.”
A hundred tourist per week, will *make* it affordable.
Or SpaceX, Starship, is suppose to carry 100 passenger, and 52 launches of spaceship per year, by itself, should get launch cost down to near cost of rocket fuel, or $100 per kg to LEO.
Or less than 1/2 million per seat or less. Or reduction of seat price [to space and back} by 1/100th. {and SpaceX making a lot money}. Add in more market than hotel and more competition and it could get much cheaper than that.
Or +2025 in beginning whole price per person could be few million for the week long vacation and within 5 to 10 year could be about 1 million, and few decades less than 1 million. But in few decades one could get “different ways getting people to orbit” which beats rocket fuel costs of something like SpaceX Starship. It could be simple as a Starship carrying more passengers, but also other ways of doing it.
This if successful {not likely as soon as they saying] but if, it would change my idea about initial cost lunar rocket fuel and the mineablity of lunar water. Also Mars settlements and how soon we get Space Power satellite, maybe less than 40 years rather than 50 years. But it require brilliance people and luck to start all this as fast as they are suggesting.
I tend to think or guess, that such a hotel would come after lunar water mining, rather than before it.
How much rock do you think would have to be dug up to get a day’s supply of water for one person?
On earth one person uses about 80 to 100 gallons per day:
https://water.usgs.gov/edu/qa-home-percapita.html
But water used for growing food and electrical power production and anything you buy. But in terms drinking and eating {adding water to dehydrated food stuff] and not doing much activity, maybe a liter of water is enough to survive.
But if mean about 100 gallons, that is about 380 kg.
normal dry dirt on Earth has about 5% of mass of dirt being water, assume you might mine lunar if less than %5 per mass of lunar regolith. And cubic meter lunar dirt weighs 1500 kg
1500 times .05 = 75 kg
So water in vacuum boils at 0 C
And so might heat lunar regolith in range of 10 C to 50 C to remove most [or say 95%] of water from water ore.
Anyhow:
380 / 75 = about 5 cubic meters or 7600 kg of lunar regolith- or about dump truck load of dirt if at 5% per weight concentration.
And most think lunar water is worth about $500 per kg.
380 kg of water at $500 per kg worth $190,000 dollars on the lunar surface.
“Worth” in what sense?
Midas says:
August 30, 2019 at 10:18 PM
Worth in what sense?
In the normal sense, as in gold is worth around $50 per gram.
The big difference is there is no current market for water on the
Moon.
But if was market for Lunar water, $500 per kg should be reasonable price to buy or sell lunar water.
But it this point in time, we aren’t ready for a lunar water market {and only a market can give an actual price}.
If the lunar polar region is explored, to determine if and where there is mineable lunar water, then it’s quite possible there could be market for lunar water.
So if water concentration is about 5% then I say roughly worth $500 per kg. If it’s 3% or less, not confident it could be mined. If %10 fairly confident it could mined. If 20% or more, it will be less than $500 per kg and quite confident it could be mined.
But say, instead, if I don’t know the details of water concentration, but price of lunar water is said to cost more than $1000 per kg to mine, I wonder if it’s doable. If instead costs is said to be $200 per kg, it seems quite doable- and I am wondering how/if it’s possible.
It’s complicated, but if lunar water is cheaper than $500 per kg, it’s good news. And if much higher than $1000 per kg, not as good, and it is heading the general direction of “I am not buying it”.
But what is important is the price of lunar rocket fuel at lunar surface. Which should be about $2000 per kg {again, less is better}.
And if lunar water is $1000 per kg, lunar rocket fuel still could be fairly $2000 per kg.
And what seemed like over priced Amazon stock price, lunar water could have higher price and still work.
The hurricane accelerated west.

It’s interesting that in Roy’s graphic showing Florida hurricane landfalls since 1900 that the strongest one was in 1935.
1934 is still the hottest year in US history. What was causing all the heat in the 1930s?
2012 is the hottest year in US history.
Gordon Robertson, if La Nina is in November, winter 2019/2020 may be one of the coldest in North American history.
That’s funny!
Not for those who live above the 50th parallel.
No, I guess they would not find your alarmist stories amusing.
Why would it be one of the coldest ever? It’d already be starting from a high baseline.
Mi-Des, David, please stop trolling.
ren…”Gordon Robertson, if La Nina is in November, winter 2019/2020 may be one of the coldest in North American history”.
We set records last winter, I can see that coming true.
BTW, ren, America is a continent, not a country.
Gordon Robertson says:
1934 is still the hottest year in US history.
Gordon keeps lying.
And never shows any evidence.
In fact, 1934 is now only the 7th warmest year in USA48 since 1895. The top seven years are, in order from warmest
1 2012
2 2016
3 2017

Gordon why do you keep lying, over and over again. You’re doing it on purpose. Aren’t you ashamed to lie?
Just pointing out that for daytime highs, it is still second behind 2012.
DA…”Gordon keeps lying.
And never shows any evidence”.
Where’s you evidence? You are not referencing the fudged NOAA data are you?
You mean the data for which you have never once provided evidence of any “fudging” yet lie about that, too?
That data, Gordon?

Dr. Spencer was right. The hurricane can reach the Florida coast as a 4th category hurricane.
The northern lights (waves caused by the solar wind) are visible over North America.

G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms are likely on 31 Aug due to a
geoeffective, positive polarity CH HSS. The solar wind environment is likely to become favorable for G2 (Moderate) storming on 01 Sep with ongoing CH HSS effects.
Hurricane Dorian is approaching the Bahamas very quickly.

Global SST anomaly has risen to +0.3
30-day average SOI has fallen to -3
Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and SST anomaly maps are generated from NOAA Optimum Interpolation SST version 2 (OISST V2). OISST is a 0.25° gridded dataset derived by blending satellite, ship, and buoy measurements. The SST anomalies is based on a 1971-2000 climatology calculated by NOAA.
https://climatereanalyzer.org/wx_frames/gfs/ds/gfs_world-ced_sstanom_1-day.png
2m Temperature refers to air temperature at 2 meters above the surface. 2m Temperature Anomaly refers to the departure of the current day’s forecasted temperature from a long-term mean for the same day of the year. The anomalies here are based on a 1979-2000 reference climatology derived from the NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR). This 22-year baseline is used instead of the more common 1981-2010 climate normal because 1979-2000 represents conditions prior to rapid Arctic warming and sea-ice loss. A comparison of different climate baselines against the historical temperature record is shown here.

David Dilley of Global Weather Oscillations seems to have success predicting hurricanes. Dilley is the only hurricane foster to correctly predict 2017’s hyper-active season (see: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-hurricane-forecasts/meteorologists-see-normal-atlantic-hurricane-season-in-2017-idUSKBN17M2J8 ), and his prediction of another above-normal season this year is on track to beat out other forecasts. Also, Dilley predicts that we are about to enter a 110-year cooling trend, with this winter seeing significantly cooler temperatures!
‘about to enter a 110-year cooling trend’
Riight. He can join the crowd who’ve been predicting such things for some time.
How many hurricanes do you expect this year? Because I counted only two and only in the West Atlantic.

We are all perfectly capable of getting our own weather updates.
midas…”We are all perfectly capable of getting our own weather updates”.
Enough with the alarmist whining.
ren is a member in good standing here and his posts are informative.
I notice that you have still not replied to my comment where I pointed out that ren hedged his bets by claiming in another thread that Dorian would weaken. Anyone can appear to be informed by using that strategy.
midas…”I notice that you have still not replied to my comment where I pointed out that ren hedged his bets by claiming in another thread that Dorian would weaken”.
Experienced meteorologists do that and freely admit it.
I don’t know why you have a problem with ren. He’s a good person who tries to submit informative information.
Are you one of those chronic complainers who pick at someone for doing what you don’t care about? Remember, Roy is a meteorologist and I would think info on meteorology would be of interest to him.
So meteorologists make opposite claims using the same available data, do they? If he is unsure, he should be indicating that uncertainty, instead of saying something WILL happen and then contradicting himself shortly after.
By problem with him is that he has a strong bias in his weather reporting towards colder events, and that he posits nonsense explanations for his hypotheses that turn out to be correct only slightly more than 50% of the time.
ren’s information and claims are always junk whenever I look at them closely. His favorite tactic is claiming trends then presenting a snapshot of a day’s data. Up above he referenced a volcano and then gave a link that was only about an earthquake, no volcano.
ren’s more frequent responder is himself.
Mi-Des, David, please stop trolling.
midas…”2012 is the hottest year in US history”.
Don’t know how you got to be so gullible.
2012 is not even in the running, it averaged near the baseline. It’s one of the only years recently that dipped below the baseline.
Seriously, you have to stop looking at the fudged data from NOAA. Here is data from NOAA satellites.
http://www.drroyspencer.com/wp-content/uploads/UAH_LT_1979_thru_July_2019_v6-900×519.jpg
According to NOAA, April 2018 was the 15th coldest April in their 125 year record. Yet UAH had the US above average for that month. Did NOAA fudge their data that month?
midas…”According to NOAA, April 2018 was the 15th coldest April in their 125 year record. Yet UAH had the US above average for that month. Did NOAA fudge their data that month?”
Fudgers tend to make mistakes.
Evidence of fudging?
GR – https://www.drroyspencer.com/2018/04/midwests-april-chill-most-unusual-on-earth/
So was Roy Spencer lying when he posted that comment?
He states that April 2018 was near record cold, then his own data contradicts him.
So … who got it wrong? Roy Spencer 1.0 or Roy Spencer 2.0?
David, Mi-Des, please stop trolling.
Why are the N-O-A-A data fudged, Gordon? Let’s hear it….
DA…”Why are the N-O-A-A data fudged, Gordon? ”
I don’t know why they fudge the data, I presume they are politically motivated to support the anthropogenic theory.
Obama was running around calling out climate deniers and NOAA worked for him. When the Trump admin asked for their methodology to verify it, NOAA refused to cooperate.
There is no doubt that NOAA, GISS, and Had-crut are rife with climate alarmists. The Climategate emails revealed that. Karl, head of NOAA, knew about the fudging in the hockey stick and took no steps to reveal the chicanery.
What’s your PROOF anybody fudged anything?
Cite the specific emails (by link) in the Climategate emails that shows Karl wrote what you claimed.
I bet you can’t.
DA,
Where’s your PROOF that nobody ever fudged anything? I’ll bet you haven’t got any at all!
I suppose you believe fakers, frauds and phonies like Michael Mann and Gavin Schmidt.
The harder you push, the stupider you look. I won’t bother asking you to describe the GHE, because you can’t. What a fool.

When someone makes a claim, the onus is on them to prove it.
ONLY THEN it the onus on the respondent to defend themselves.
Interesting that someone who deigns to talk about the scientific method would claim otherwise.

Uh, Gordon, on a question of US temperature you have posted the global temperature.
Here is the UAH time series and annual averages for US temps.

In his act, Chappelle is joking about having sex with Macauley Culkin when the latter was a 10 year old. Is that what you call free speech, DA? Next you will be advocating that it’s OK to joke about sexual predators advocating sex with children.
DA…”Thats why youd never make it in America…”
BTW, I am making it in America, since Canada is part of America, as is the United States ***of*** America.
America is a continent, not a country.

Yes, Gordon, that’s free speech.
We have an amendment to protect speech exactly because of wanna be censors like you.
DA…”Yes, Gordon, that’s free speech.”
If talking about having sex with a 10 year old boy is free speech then you are a sicko.
I agree. I also believe that the idea of free speech should not permit a contender for the US presidency to suggest to his supporters at a rally that they assassinate his opponent.
“Oh – but thats our boy Donnie – he doesn’t have to abide by my rules.”

you “regulars” crack me up .. the idea anyone can predict weather systems a month, a year or decades in advance is laughable considering all that is known about tropical storms and less than 8 hours after “experts” prediction of a direct hit on central Florida, probably not.
Science is about observation and falsifying hypothesis not making ego-based predictions that will be wrong by some degree and on rare occasion will happen to fit a prediction same as a broken clock shows the correct time twice a day

The only years close to 1934 are 1998 and 2016. According to climateaudit.
Your propaganda comes from GISS where they use altered confidence levels to move years like 2006 into contention when they are not even close.
https://www.warwickhughes.com/blog/?p=130&cpage=1
2006 is a very average year, well below 1998, 2016 and 2010. Then again, that comes from UAH sat data which covers the oceans, not just the land surface, as used by GISS.
http://www.drroyspencer.com/wp-content/uploads/UAH_LT_1979_thru_July_2019_v6-900×519.jpg
What data source does this blog site “climate audit” use to make this claim?
“that comes from UAH sat data which covers the oceans, not just the land surface, as used by GISS.”
For global temps, BOTH use land and ocean data.
For US temps, BOTH use land only data.
Yet another BS claim from you.
And still waiting for your response concerning April 2018.

Keep it up. Hold your breath while you wait. It will save oxygen, and reduce the amount of that terrifying CO2!

repost for midas.
DA…”Why are the N-O-A-A data fudged, Gordon? ”

There is no doubt that NOAA, GISS, and Had-crut are rife with climate alarmists. The Climategate emails revealed that. Karl, head of NOAA, knew about the fudging in the hockey stick and took no steps to reveal the chicanery.
ps. when Had-crut was asked by Steve McIntyre for their data, they refused. Later, Phil Jones asked why he should release data to McIntyre and have have him find errors in it like he did in the hockey stick data.
Jones was a friend of Mann, the hockey stick man, and I guess he was sensitive to Mann’s embarrassment. He was also sensitive to the fact there was chicanery in the Had-crut data and did not want to be exposed. He admitted as much in a Climategate email when he admitted to using Mann’s chicanery to hide declining temperatures.
PROOF, Gordon, PROOF.
What’s your proof N-O-A-A fudged any data? Or anyone else?
You’ve never presented any evidence, and I’ve asked many times.
I don’t think you have any such evidence. I think you’re lying about this too.
DA, if your side has to resort to corrupting the data, you lose.
But, don’t give up. Keep pushing your same old failed agenda, and asking the distracting questions.
Surely there is someone that is being fooled by your tired techniques….
He asked for proof that the data is “corrupted” and all you can do in response is to assert yet again without proof that the data is “corrupted”.
Midas, you and DA are extremist trolls. You don’t want “proof”. You want to pervert and corrupt reality, as you attempt to disrupt this blog.`
Nothing new.
So there is no proof – got it. Thanks for your admission to lying.
midas…”He asked for proof that the data is corrupted and all you can do in response is to assert yet again without proof that the data is corrupted”.
It has been explained to DA over and over how NOAA corrupts data yet he tries to pose gotchas by asking the same dumb question over and over.
Since you are a newbie, I will explain again.
NOAA admitted to slashing the stations it uses from 6000 globally to less than 1500. It has slashed the GHCN record by 90% since 1990.
NOAA is now in the business of climate modelling. It uses data from 1500 real station them interpolates and homogenizes that data in a climate model to SYNTHESIZE the rest of the data. That means using two stations up to 1200 miles apart to synthesize the temperature for a station in the vicinity.
The NOAA SST is almost exclusively created using climate models and such interpolation/homogenization.
The entire story is well documented here:
Note: this is a seed page for Gistemp. You can find everything about the chicanery of NOAA and GHCN elsewhere on the site.
https://chiefio.wordpress.com/gistemp/
The link to NOAAs admission of slashing it’s global database from 6000 to less than 1500 stations:
https://web.archive.org/web/20150410045648/http://www.noaa.gov/features/02_monitoring/weather_stations.html
Did you choose not to read the reason for the cut? And how on earth does the word ‘admit’ apply? The word is “inform”.
Do you really believe all the nonsense that NOAA puts out?
Are you particularly gullible, or just stupid?
Cheers.
midas…”Did you choose not to read the reason for the cut?”
There is no scientific reason for slashing a data base of REAL surface station data from 6000 to less than 1500.
Did you read chiefio’s documentation of the chicanery now practiced at NOAA and GISS?
No, I didn’t think so?
I suppose you read NOAA’s bs about slashing the data by 75% then claiming the database actually got larger. They depend on the highly gullible like you to swallow that crap.
DA,
Proof? So what kind of proof would you accept David? Does Gordon need a video of members of the NOAA huddled in a back room snickering and joking about how they fudged all the weather data? Does he need copies of their bank records of checks from where George Soros has paid off the “data keepers?” Or maybe he just needs examples of previous records and the records presented today and show where the data has changed? David, real scientists don’t change raw data. The data is the data. They have to prove it was taken incorrectly. You show us the “proof” it was ever taken incorrectly.
You David are living proof of Gordons point since you drink from the same cup as they do! Gordon doesn’t provide what you want since you will reject any possibility of truth regardless of the evidence presented. Like the other regurgitators of AGW alarmist cronies!
https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/300-scientists-blast-noaa-fudging-climate-change-data/
GF…thanks for link….good stuff.
No peer reviewed science there, just unproven accusations.
Anyone can have an opinion. That hardly makes it science.
Gordon is still lying.
David, if your science is anything like this science you are as misplaced as the role of science in contemporary society!
https://evolutionnews.org/2019/02/skepticism-about-darwinian-evolution-grows-as-1000-scientists-share-their-doubts/?fbclid=IwAR0wdJZpPPTEi4qiRC1_qtBhHFoBtjLPy1rcx78cysXLrTFvNiv4ZoNxvCo

Thus, the questions about origins has not been determined by science nor can it be! It stands (or falls) plainly on the shoulders of presupposition, conjecture, hypothesis, guess and faith! Yes, faith since it IS a belief system and not provable. Though it smack you in the face you fail to see it, like a blind man attempting to find his way through life without the assistance of anyone else! You are surrounded by facts that you declare falsehoods! There is only ONE who has such authority and He rules in the kingdom of men!
David wants peer reviewed science and thinks that by ignoring me I will go away. Define peer reviewed science! Is that like only by your cronies? Must it be someone with “credentials” or can there be persons with knowledge that do not have credentials? Who decides what is peer reviewed?
Crickets to my post about at least 1000 scientists that question the validity of a scientific position that has held folks hostage for over a century. Yet you claim there must be peer reviewed science. Is not there peer reviewed science on this board? Yet there are opposing opinions!
JD and others are correct to label your views pseudoscience. Moreover, science has been exalted to the throne of a godhead in the modern world as if it can answer every question posed to it’s infallible authority. How ironic then that Darwinism has now been challenged by science itself and scientists that study such things! The clear and obvious point here is that that kind of science actually determines little in the way of facts but is merely a good guess. The same is true for AGW. Yet you act as if you stand firmly upon indisputable facts (or merely semantics)! So, if science can be found questionable on one of it’s primary tenets (Darwinism) then it is suspect whenever overzealous extremists attempt to convince more level headed types that they are the overzealous extremists! What a quandary it must be to those who cling to uncertain anomalies!
For many the following exercise will appear an effort in futility but for genuine objective truth seekers that actually consider all the evidence it could be life changing. If Genesis 1:1 is not true then it follows that the rest of the Bible is not true. However, if it IS true then the rest of the Bible is true.
In the beginning [time], God [force], created [action/motion], the heavens[space] and the earth [matter]. Any one of these fundamental manifestations plus NOTHING, equals NOTHING! The problem of origins has not been solved by science and it cannot be! Something (God) set it all in motion.
So we have 2 possibilities: A Creator or mans’ very limited knowledge and science aka the big bang theory! A 50/50 proposition of likelihood at best. Pick a straw or go on to door number 2 below. But a warning first. To much logic and reason could be detrimental to your well being! Yes, the fool said in his heart there is no God!

The hilarious thing about Gordon’s big lie is that the adjustments REDUCE THE LONG-TERM WARMING TREND.
Why would scientists do that if they were trying to cheat like he claims?
TKO.

Your comment from April 28 2018:
“ren.good work ren, thanks for keeping us posted on this record cold.”
So, at the time both you and ren were stating that April was cold in the US. NOAA agreed with you, its data making it the 15th coldest April in the US. Roy Spencer also agreed with you in a post he created at the time. Yet the UAH data did not – it said that April 2018 was above average, and that using the elevated 1981-2010 baseline.
So I ask you again – whose data was correct for the US in April 2018 – NOAA or UAH?
midas…”So I ask you again whose data was correct for the US in April 2018 NOAA or UAH?”
And again I reply, NOAA fudges data and fudgers make mistakes.
I have supplied a link in this same thread that uncovers all of NOAA’s chicanery. NOAA is forever making rash claims about temperatures.
They claimed with a 48% confidence level that 2014 was the hottest year on record. If you are too stupid to figure out the dishonesty in that claim for yourself I can’t help you.
BTW…their alarmist buddies at GISS used a 38% confidence level for the same year.
The issue here was 2012 vs 1934 in the US, and whether UAH data can be used to form an opinion. As you found the need to avoid that issue, we will take it as given that you now agree that it cannot.
Ooooooh! “We”!
You and which other fools?
Cheers.
I was referring to Gordon and I. Does that answer your question?
Don’t be stupid. You and some other nameless idiot were telling GR want he was agreeing to.
Don’t try and weasel out of your stupidity.
Cheers.
Before you shoved your ass where it didn’t belong, there were only two in this thread. It is you who must do the weaseling to avoid your awkward insult to GR.
M,
You don’t have to try to look more idiotic. You are doing fine as it is.
If you are feeling insulted on behalf of GR, be my guest. Feel twice as insulted. I’m sure he won’t mind.
Cheers.
midas…”The issue here was 2012 vs 1934 in the US, and whether UAH data can be used to form an opinion”.
Stop being obtuse. I gave you the correct answer, UAH is correct and NOAA is wrong. I also gave you a ton of information as to why they are wrong, how they fudge temperatures.
Gordon, what was UAH’s number for 1934?
David, please stop trolling.
I too am curious to know how Gordon thinks 1934 was warmer for the US than 2012, when the only dataset he thinks is any good only goes back to November 1978.
Gordon? How do you arrive at this conclusion if all other data is useless?
The genuinely curious would take things to the bottom of the thread, wherever Gordon is commenting.

The temperature at SH dropped to -0.6 degrees C in relation to the average from 1979-2000.
Will you also be reporting when it gets back to +0.6?
Why do you want to know?
Cheers.
Because I am an inquisitive person who likes to ask questions.
As opposed to someone like you, who tries to suppress questions that are asked of others, lest they blurt out an answer that might be awkward for your agenda.
You are a dimwit with an addiction to foolish attempts to time wasting.You don’t care what the answer is. You are only trying (not very successfully) to be anmoying. What a fool you are!
Cheers.
I care that there is no answer. Hope that helps.
Midas,
You’ve shown what you are many times.
It is obvious you are a mean, odious person.
I hope that helps.
Lewis
Midas,
If you’ve paid attention, the inquisitiveness you believe you have, would already know that ren, regularly, notes climate/weather type information/links without comment.
Grow up. Pay attention.

Really? Tell me – what sort of a person is Mike Flynn?
Midas,
Are you paying for the information? If so, then I will oblige. If not, I’m not much interested in your imbecile requests.
midas…”Really? Tell me what sort of a person is Mike Flynn?”
Mike’s a great guy. He’s funny, observant, and spot on with his skepticism of the GHE and AGW.
The temperature at NH jumped to =+0.8 degrees C in relation to the average from 1979-2000.

Nonsense!!!
Are you referring to ren or me? I have reported from the same data source.
student is right, Gordon is wrong.
GISS’s NH average anomaly from 1979-2000 is 0.31 C.
For the years 2014-2018 the average NH anomaly is 1.08 C.

“Tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the late summer are always sufficiently warm to support a major hurricane and are, in my opinion, overrated as a controlling factor. ”
Whats the basis for this assertion?
Fourth year in a row of Cat 5 in the Atlantic
Dr. Spencer and Dan Pangburn,
I hadn’t watched this presentation by Salby 2018 HSU very closely before (I just hadn’t gotten to it). You guys need to watch this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rohF6K2avtY
Dr. Spencer, he totally demolishes your anthropogenic perturbation model. Dan Pangburn, he totally destroys your water vapor hypothesis. The odds that temperature change is due to a systematic change are less than 5 percent. Also, Nate, he addresses the left’s argument about isotopic data supporting anthropogenic warming in that he completely debunks it.
Gordon Robertson, you are right, the temperature curve is almost certainly random and there is no systematic influence on the planet’s temperature.
Also, the little clip he shows at the 54 minute mark about theories-you can’t prove a vague theory wrong. That’s somewhat what the alarmists are trying to do. The theory GHE goes from global warming to climate change to whatever’s next. You can’t disprove a moving target.
Also, in the video at minute 59 he explains mathematically why the anthropogenic perturbation model many have used on here to support that residence time and adjustment time which is what is used in Dr. Spencer’s model he linked is wrong.
Time minute 64, “one component of the Bern Model has no drain.”
I guess Salby is too busy to publish papers, huh?
David, please stop trolling.
“Gordon Robertson, you are right, the temperature curve is almost certainly random and there is no systematic influence on the planets temperature.”
The planet’s temperature is not random.
What controls our global temperature is the average temperature of entire ocean which is currently [and for thousands of years] about 3.5 C
Because our ocean is cold we living in an icebox climate, and have been is this global climate for millions of years.
And in the millions of years of this Ice Age, the ocean temperature has varied from 1 to 5 C.
When ocean is colder, we are in a glacial period, and when ocean 3 C or warmer, we in an interglacial period.
Above the cold ocean is the surface temperature of the ocean which has global average temperature of about 17 C.
The tropical ocean surface [about 40% of entire ocean surface] has average temperature of about 26 C. 60% of ocean outside of the tropics, has average temperature of about 11 C.
And all land surfaces have average temperature of about 10 C. And all land surfaces are about 30% of the entire surface of Earth.
30% at 10 C and 70% at 17 C gives an average global surface temperature of about 15 C.
The global air temperature is controlled by the ocean average surface temperature of 17 C. And as it is said, the tropical ocean [average of 26 C} is the heat engine of the entire world.
It’s a heat engine in terms driving global atmospheric processes, and in terms of driving global oceanic heat. Another driver of oceanic heat, is cold water falling in the polar regions {roughly polar regions “pull” and warm tropical water “push”- though I should say that the cold denser water falling is essential or important factor- or it can variable that radically effects global climate [it’s a large factor related the average ocean temperature changing from 1 to 5 C. And ocean water can be denser and fall due to greater levels salt in the water- and warm salty water can also fall as does the salty cold water.]
One could describe short term global weather as essentially random- due to lack understanding all variables and interactions within global climate system- and it’s dependence upon shallow fragile ocean surface temperature. But longer global processes are more clock like than random.
And in terms of longer term processes, we are currently recovering from the Little Ice Age which ended somewhere around 1850 AD.
And it seems fairly clear that at least northern hemisphere is warming {or has been warming for more than 100 years] and also appears to be globally warming.
Gbaike,
If observational evidence doesn’t agree with theory then theory is wrong. Salby provides observational evidence and calculations that supports that there is a 5 percent probability that temperature increase is non random.
Watch the presentation before you comment. If you watch his presentation you’ll see he bases most of his view on contemporary data with actual temperature records and not proxy data.
I have listen to Salby before. Not sure heard this one before, it’s more than hour. The introductor said something refuting CO2 causing all warming and basically that CO2 is a threat.
IPCC says “highly confident” CO2 causes more than 1/2 of recent warming, and they are dumb bureaucrats who living depends on believing CO2 is problem.
Since no one believes CO2 has caused all warming, it’s strawman argument.
But do I think Salby might be closer to being correct about what is causing CO2 rise as compared to all the other idiot explanations which are out there?
And compared to other “views’ I tend to think Salby might more correct.
As far as know, know one has measured the amount of warming from higher CO2 levels.
My guess is a doubling of CO2 will cause 0 to .5 C of warming. And if it’s .5 C within a couple decades the effect might be measured by someone. If less than .5 C it might take a lot longer to measure it.
If CO2 caused 2 C per doubling, I don’t think it’s a problem.
A long time ago, when I thought, a doubling might cause as much as 3 C of warming, I did not think to would be problem, and today, I don’t think 3 C of warming is a problem.
Whenever you living in an Ice Age, one should want more warming.
India average temperature is about 24 C, in southern California the average is about 15 C, why the poor idiots living in cooler temperature are afraid of some warming, is a bit mind boggling.
And they probably dream of living tropical island paradise {why wouldn’t they, they are freezing their butts off}.
And the hottest Continent in the world is Africa, and some idiots are worried about their fast growing populations.
How does fast growing population, and end the world fit into their minds?
If I were Chinese or European I would be worried about their declining populations- that’s a real problem.
Ahh yes, Murry Salby, the guy who applies for two grants from different sources and keeps one for himself.
Ah Yes the ole leftist attack the attacker argument. When I was in graduate school I don’t know how many profs were in some kind of trouble or another for mismanaging their funding especially if they were on the outs with the department head. Then you have the really smart ones who were always contrary like Salby they were the ones who usually led the pack. However, it never diminished their brilliance nor the content of their work.
Gbaikie,
He has several presentations published and if you take the time to listen to them several times (it usually takes that many to understand them) then you realize they are almost irrefutable.
“Ahh yes, Murry Salby, the guy who applies for two grants from different sources and keeps one for himself.”
Ahhh yes, Michael Mann who fraudulently claims to be a Nobel Laureate in court documents to make himself look good.
Cheers.
–Gbaikie,

I listen to whole thing. I don’t plan on listening to it several times.
I took notes:
“…festing sore on public back will chronically emerge”
“Climate change: the Musical”
[It seems they will have change it to:
Climate emergency: the Musical
Otherwise they will be punished]
But it was not much fun. And stand by what said before spending over hour listening to it.
But, Climate change: the Musical was almost worth the time spent.
Are you aware of the long investigation into Dr Salby by the National Science Foundation in the United States which resulted in the scientist being barred from having anything to do with the foundation’s taxpayer-funded grants for three years.
The investigation, finished in February 2009 – a year after Dr Salby joined Macquarie, concluded that Dr Salby had engaged in a long-running course of deceptive conduct involving both his University and NSF. The investigators wrote that Dr Salby’s conduct reflects a consistent willingness to violate rules and regulations, whether federal or local, for his personal benefit.
midas…”Murry Salby, the guy who applies for two grants from different sources and keeps one for himself”.
That’s it??? No scientific evidence that he is wrong?
mickey…”Are you aware of the long investigation into Dr Salby by the National Science Foundation in the United States which resulted in the scientist being barred from having anything to do with the foundations taxpayer-funded grants for three years”.
You gullible idiot.
Salby is a skeptic and he is being ostracized. The NSF claimed he ‘likely’ did what they claimed but they lacked the evidence to bring charges. So they debarred him from accessing US funds.
I’ll bet dollars to donuts that some frickin’, alarmist scientists are behind this.
Skeptics are always under the gun. Patrick Michaels was sacked from his job as state climatologist in Virginia because he expressed skeptical views. Henk Tennekes, a top rated meteorologist was sacked for similar utterances.
When are you idiots going to get it that good scientists are being persecuted for expressing their views?
In another field, Peter Duesberg was ostracized for claiming HIV is a harmless virus that could not possibly cause AIDS. That was 25 years ago. Since then, the scientist who discovered HIV, Luc Montagnier, has declared that HIV will not harm anyone with a healthy immune system.
The stats back what Montagnier and Duesberg have claimed. The death rate from AIDS in countries where immune systems are healthy is negligible, a far cry from the epidemic declared by the WHO 20 years ago.
Duesberg is a world-class expert in retroviruses like HIV. He won the California Scientist of the Year Award and he was the youngest member at the time inducted into the National Academy of Science.
He has been vindicated by Montagnier but that won’t get him back what he has lost.
You jerks who support this lame AGW nonsense are contributing to scientists being osctracized for expressing contrary views.
GR
No scientific evidence that he is right?
THere’s lots of evidence Salby is wrong.
But none that’s worth repeating for people like you, who won’t read it in the first place and won’t understand it either.
ANd if you do understand it, you’ll lie about it. Because you don’t mind lying at all.
Mi-Des, David, please stop trolling.
Stephen,
“left’s argument about isotopic data”
Im pretty sure isotopes vote Republican.
If you can’t tell the difference between physical science and political science, then you your judgement of what is good science has no credibility.

I have a question: The storm is projected by most of the models and official forecast to curve north and slow.
But it has not slowed and is almost due west with no wavering, and is now a very deadly storm.
At current forward speed and direction, it will hit Florida tomorrow morning I think (the eye…the outer bands will be here long before that).
So we sure hope is behaves.
But, do hurricanes have a reliable history of behaving?
If it keeps not doing what models and forecast say it will do, and keeps heading west at 7, at what point will someone say “Hey, maybe we ought to consider the fact that the storm is a deadly monster heading for a dense population center that has not had a direct hit in many decades, so maybe we should not play chicken with the strongest hurricane in modern times to be in this location heading in this direction”?
If Dorian is not starting to slow or curve north in the next several hours, I think it becomes clear this storm is too strong to be affected by normal steering currents.
This observation is not unprecedented. I seem to recall several very strong storms ignoring predictions of path and intensity.

Wrong again, Midas. I was merely quoting NHC.
You NEVER “think”, you just believe.
Nothing new.

“Dorian is the fifth Cat 5 in the Atlantic since 2016, joining Michael (2018), Irma (2017), Maria (2017), and Matthew (2016). This makes 2019 the fourth year in a row the Atlantic basin has had at least one hurricane reach Cat 5 strength, beating the previous record, a three-year stretch from 2003 to 2005. Including Dorian, there have been 35 Category 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).”

Most definitely Rune. It tells of the continuing trend in “cherry-picking”.
In pseudoscience, everything you see is proof of what you believe.

If Roy started his graph at sometime like 1950, before which he claims GW was not noticeable, there’d be a positive trend in his landfalling FL hurricane intensity.

So, your answer is yes. You are trying to insult me by likening me to DT.
Keep trying.
No, my answer is what I said. Why would I waste my time trying to insult you? Do you believe I care whether you choose to feel insulted or not? You are obviously delusional.
Cheers.
So you did not try to insult me. That means you recognize the contrast between DT and myself.
Yes? No? Keep trying.

President Trump: “I’m not sure that I’ve ever even heard of the Category 5. I knew it existed, and I’ve seen some category 4s — you don’t even see them that much but the category 5 is something that I don’t know that I’ve ever even heard the term other than I know it’s there.”
Even putting the content aside, that speech pattern just looks so presidential, doesn’t it.
Midas,
We all know you hate Pr. Trump and probably all those who voted for him. You are probably hoping for a recession so he won’t get re-elected, caring not a whit for those who would lose their jobs in order that you get your way.
But, be assured, there are many of us who appreciate what he is doing for the country.
So, your attempts at belittling him, while you pick your nose, examining the yield, only reinforce other’s, already, low opinion of you.
DT is the major cause for the upcoming recession.
He belittles himself every time he opens his mouth.
When he gets dumped by his own party, will you still appreciate him?
D. M.
Presidents, despite your belief to the contrary, usually only influence attitudes about the economy. Congress writes the tax laws etc. Presidents influence attitudes except Obama, who wrote many rules to the detriment of the economy, which Trump has been undoing fairly quickly. Further he is trying to loosen the stranglehold the administrative state has on OUR country. Why do you object to that?
Lewis, the economy did better under Obama than under Trump. So did the stock market.
Lewis guignard says:
Presidents, despite your belief to the contrary, usually only influence attitudes about the economy.
Where did you ever get that idea?
Presidents also influence
* foreign policy and how foreign countries see the US
* regulations of all manner
* priorities in the Executive branch
* strongly helps guide the country’s values and morals
Trump’s cabinet has been one of the most corrupt ever, so I can see how you’d rather ignore that.
David, please stop trolling.
He can’t be belittled. He is already such a little man.
You know this from personal experience? Disappointed were you?
That’s what you thought I was talking about? Apparently you don’t know what it means to call someone ‘little’. Go back to NC.
Mi-Des, please stop trolling.
Lewis guignard says:
We all know you hate Pr. Trump and probably all those who voted for him.
I don’t hate Trump, but I do strongly dislike him for

* his racism
* his narcissism
* his crudity
* his misogyny
* his decisiveness
* his stupidity
and
* his lying
Other than this he’s a great guy!
David, please stop trolling.
Even putting your stupidity aside, you still manage to look stupid, don’t you?
Cheers.
Huh?
Compared to DT, I am a genius man!
You appear to be so stupid that you can’t even remember which sock puppet you are!
At least try to keep track of which troll identity you are using!
Cheers.
Droll’s not even a leftist. He’s too stupid to be a leftist and most leftist are pretty stupid. He’s probably a disabled federal worker.
MF
‘Captain droll’ is not me, if that is what you were insinuating.
Hey Midas, we have been likened to each other ! Who is the more insulted – you or me ?
What a pair of fools!
Now you can try and figure out who is who, by comparing your ability to feel insulted!
If that doesn’t work, see who can whine the most about feeling offended, annoyed, or upset.
Good luck with the competition. Let me know who can appear the most stupid.
Cheers.
MF
You have no ability to make me feel insulted. Just thought you should know.
Midas – me neither. But I can be mightily entertained by MF’s derangement!
You just thought you’d let me know? What mental defect leads you to think I care?
So all your idiocy about feeling insulted was just pointless waffle, designed to achieve precisely nothing. Well done, the peanut pair!
Cheers.
“What mental defect leads you to think I care?”
Man, you really do care ! Why else do you respond so quickly?
If you understand, no explanation is necessary. If you don’t, no explanation is possible.
Cheers.
And has a great memory:
September 14, 2017: It actually hit the Keys ..it was a category 5.
Today:”I never even knew category 5 existed.”
September 26, 2017: It actually touched down as a category 5.
Today:”People have never seen anything like that.”
October 18, 2017: They got hit dead center.
Today:”Nobody has ever heard of a 5 hitting land.”
May 8, 2019: “I’ve just come from a stop at Tyndall Air Force Base, where I saw the devastating effects of that Category 5 hurricane, Category 5.”
Today:”Never heard about Category 5s before, a Category 5 is big stuff.”
Please don’t make fun of the early onset of alzheimers.
One theory is that it may be associated with a life-long diet of coke and hamburgers.
Why do you boast about being a fool? At least Michael Mann boasted he had a Nobel Prize (even if he was too confused to realise he wasn’t really a Nobel Laureate).
Maybe you need to cut down on the coke and hamburgers! You are lapsing into incoherent gibberish.
Cheers.
Michael Mann, one of the champion scientists of our age. He deserves a Nobel Prize, and may well be given one once all the hoohah has died down and he is vindicated 100% !
Maybe if he can manage to convince a judge that he isn’t a fraud, and shouldn’t be in the state pen, rather than at Penn State, his chances for a Nobel prize will be no worse than yours – which is to say, none at all.
He can always fraudulently claim he is a Nobel Laureate. You’d believe him wouldn’t you?
Why does he need vindication? Who is claiming he is a fraudulent balding bumbling buffoon? He should sue!
What a fool!
Cheers.
The hockey stick was derided, and he was unmercifully attacked by the ignorant, but has s since been proved right – time and time again. Truth and courage wins again. Is canonization out of the question?
The delusional Mann couldn’t even convince a judge that he was not a fraud, and didn’t t deserve to be in the state pen.
He seems to believe in some nonsensical effect that neither he nor anybody else can actually describe.
What a peanut!
Cheers.
Ha! Mike doesnt get that you dont go to jail when you lose a civil suit!
Also, Mann got the publishers to retract their article and apologize to him for publishing “untrue and disparaging accusations which impugned the character of Dr. Mann”.
If anyone is interested in a meteorologists perspective that has shown a consistent ability to maintain a high level of accuracy in prediction as opposed to collecting a paycheck then Rebecca is the one. The problem for many on this forum is that her main blog posts are on Facebook. That may be a huge hinderance for those opposed to such a venue for anything climate related.

repost for mickey (aka myki)…
mickey…”Are you aware of the long investigation into Dr Salby by the National Science Foundation in the United States which resulted in the scientist being barred from having anything to do with the foundation’s taxpayer-funded grants for three years”.
You gullible idiot.
Salby is a skeptic and he is being ostracized. The NSF claimed he ‘likely’ did what they claimed but they lacked the evidence to bring charges. So they debarred him from accessing US funds.
I’ll bet dollars to donuts that some frickin’, alarmist scientists are behind this.
Skeptics are always under the gun. Patrick Michaels was sacked from his job as state climatologist in Virginia because he expressed skeptical views. Henk Tennekes, a top rated meteorologist was sacked for similar utterances.
When are you idiots going to get it that good scientists are being persecuted for expressing their views?
In another field, Peter Duesberg was ostracized for claiming HIV is a harmless virus that could not possibly cause AIDS. That was 25 years ago. Since then, the scientist who discovered HIV, Luc Montagnier, has declared that HIV will not harm anyone with a healthy immune system.
The stats back what Montagnier and Duesberg have claimed. The death rate from AIDS in countries where immune systems are healthy is negligible, a far cry from the epidemic declared by the WHO 20 years ago.
Duesberg is a world-class expert in retroviruses like HIV. He won the California Scientist of the Year Award and he was the youngest member at the time inducted into the National Academy of Science.
He has been vindicated by Montagnier but that won’t get him back what he has lost.
You jerks who support this lame AGW nonsense are contributing to scientists being osctracized for expressing contrary views.
Why is the NSF not investigating the scam artists who take out grants to study AGW nonsense simply to get the money. None of them have contributed any science of note, just pseudo-scientific garbage.
Only in your opinion
You have a rare talent for pointing out the blindingly obvious. Did you have to put a lot of effort into learning how to be completely irrelevant?
Cheers
Good to see you now recognize this as mere opinion and not fact.
You dimwit. How do you know an opinion is not a fact? Are you God, or do you only think you are?
Cheers.
You agreed with me that it was ONLY opinion.
No I didn’t, fool.
Cheers.
Me: ONLY in your opinion
You: You have a rare talent for pointing out the blindingly obvious.
It is there for all to see.
Mi-Des, please stop trolling.
Gordon,
Salby is much more than a skeptic. He has shown with a 95% proability that the temperature curve is due to randomness-that there is no systematic influence on temperature. This supports the point you’ve been making.
Please explain the principle of his explanation as you understand it, without simply linking me to it or to someone else’s explanation.
Please describe the GHE as you understand it, without simply linking me to it or someone else’s explanation.
Cheers.
Where can I read Salby’s peer reviewed journal papers?
What has that got to do with fact?
Cheers.
Papers by Salby? Nothing.
Mi-Des, please stop trolling.

Shut up, Gordon.
You have no problem disparaging many scientists, in several institutions, and you have no evidence of your claims at all.
And they’re the ones on the right side of the science.
David, please stop trolling.
Hey Roy Spencer – that great meteorologist Donald Trump has predicted that Dorian will hit Alabama, contradicting every other meteorologist. Are you worried, or is Trump an idiot?
Hey stupid, do you think anybody can usefully and accurately predict a hurricane path?
Or are you an idiot?
Cheers.
Does Trump think he can usefully and accurately predict a hurricane path?
Or is he an idiot?
Why don’t you ask him? Maybe you are dreaming – how do you know he is a meteorologist?
Have you considered that you might be hallucinating?
Cheers.
“how do you know he is a meteorologist?”
You need to attend Perception 101
You need to get a grip on reality.

Midas,
You’re somewhat entertaining, but only somewhat. Of course, to you, you may be more than that, in which case your imagination runs free.
After a bit your repetition becomes boring, as, I suspect, you are.

It is funny that you don’t mind a lot of repetition from Mike Flynn. Is there a reason for that?

Murry Salby (corrupt), Pat Michaels (funded by oil and tobacco interests) and Henk Tennekes (sacked 20 years ago)
“good scientists”? LOL
What a load of old tripe!
Michael Mann – fraud. Gavin Schmidt – faker. Kevin Trenberth – confused and befuddled.
‘Good scientists”? LOL!
Cheers.
Salby’s work is irrefutable.
How big is the carbon cycle, how CO2 is absorbed and emitted per year globally?
About 100ppm.
So typically, it’s said to about 100 billion tonnes, though also usually said it could be much higher, and predicting it’s about 800 billion tonnes?
I could be getting wrong I think 1 ppm is about 8 billion tonnes of CO2??
Anyhow, I have tended to think the 100 billion tonnes was a low number. And people used to say human effects on land use was creating more CO2 emission than fossil fuel use. They seemed to have stopped saying that {probably didn’t want to be punished by the religious wackos}.
Also has a lot water created in atmosphere {water vapor condensing] and going to suck up the CO2 and the acidified rain water will erode rock- and as nutters, say, acidify the oceans.
SPA
That’s a grand statement to make. Could you explain every line of his reasoning?
Why don’t you watch the video?
I’ve watched the video, thanks all the same. I’m asking YOU to explain what you believe he is saying?
Why should he take any notice of you? Are you a really important person in disguise?
Cheers.
Am I the only one who’s actually read the Mann v Ball judgement?
This is the text of the order from the bench.
1) Order that the claim made by Plaintiff be dismissed.
2) Costs will follow the event and of the action since the action is dismissed.
That is all. You can read it here.
https://justice.gov.bc.ca/cso/esearch/file/hearingDetail.do?fileID=2215840
Anything else you may have read is speculation.
Tim Ball called Michael Mann a fraud. Michael Mann got all petulant, and sued Tim Ball in a fit of pique.
The court dismissed Michael Mann’s claim. Michael Mann refused to produce evidence to show that Tim Ball was not being merely truthful by characterising Michael Mann as a fraud.
Who but a fool would launch a legal action he had no intention of supporting with objective evidence?
Pseudoscience meets evidence based legal system. Pseudoscience loses.
Cheers.
The Frontier Centre for Public Policy which printed Ball’s comments apologized to Mann and retracted Ball’s comments.
Frontier Center for Public Policy’s views are immaterial. The case was dismissed.
The decision came from the bench there are been no written judgement. There is no indication that the suit had no merit.
The FCPP was a co-defendant with Ball in the suit.
So what?
All FCPP can’t retract Ball’s comments. Only he can do that which he didn’t.
FCPP retracted the article in which Ball attacked Mann’s character.
And the apology was for publishing “untrue and disparaging accusations which impugned the character of Dr. Mann”, according to the publishers’s statement.
He didn’t publish anything. When asked about Mann he said “Mann works for Penn State but should be in the state pen.”
Ball never retracted anything.
Of course Ball withdrew his lawsuit against Dan Johnson and the Calgary Herald. Johnson had written that Ball had inflated his credentials. Johnson’s statement of defence was provided by the Calgary Herald, which stated that Ball “…never had a reputation in the scientific community as a noted climatologist and authority on global warming,” and that he “…is viewed as a paid promoter of the agenda of the oil and gas industry rather than as a practicing scientist.” In the ensuing court case, Ball acknowledged that he had only been a tenured professor for eight years, and that his doctorate was not in climatology but rather in the broader discipline of geography, and subsequently withdrew the lawsuit on June 8, 2007.
Yes, the admissions about Ball were particularly brutal.
After the Calgary Herald published an op-ed by Ball on April 19, 2006, whom the newspaper identified as the first climatology PhD in Canada and a climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg for 28 years, they published a letter on April 23, 2006 from Dr. Dan Johnson, a professor at the University of Lethbridge, who pointed out that neither of those descriptions is true; that Dr. Ball’s credentials were being seriously overstated. Ball later threatened Johnson and the Herald and ultimately sued for defamation.
In their Statement of Defense filed in Court, the Calgary Herald submitted the following:
1. “…that the Plaintiff (Ball) never held a reputation in the scientific community as a noted climatologist and authority on global warming.
2. “The Plaintiff has never published any research in any peer-reviewed scientific journal which addressed the topic of human contributions to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming
3. “The Plaintiff has published no papers on climatology in academically recognized peer-reviewed scientific journals since his retirement as a Professor in 1996;
4. “The Plaintiff’s credentials and credibility as an expert on the issue of global warming have been repeatedly disparaged in the media; and
5. “The Plaintiff is viewed as a paid promoter of the agenda of the oil and gas industry rather than as a practicing scientist.”
Ball dropped his lawsuit.––

Well, again more disinformation from the leftists. Ball got his PhD in geography with an emphasis in historical climatology. His thesis was in climatology. His expertise and field of study if you listen to him was in proxy data in particular in tree rings. That was the problem he had with what Mann was doing and wanted to know how he did it. Mann was taking tree ring data and fusing it with temperature record. He asked Mann how he did it and to show his analysis and Mann would not do it. Mann took tree ring data, eliminated the part of the data that he didn’t like (the famous “hide the decline”) and spliced it with contemporary temperature data. This is truly unscientific and fraudulent.
Michael Mann has a PhD in Geology and Geophysics, I believe.
Self proclaimed climatologist, self proclaimed Nobel Prize winner.
Claims not to be a fraud or a faker or a fool.
Cheers.
Stephen, you clearly don’t know what “hide the decline” meant.
Hint: the decline wasn’t in actual temperatures.
Stephen P Anderson says:
“Mann was taking tree ring data and fusing it with temperature record.”
Wrong, MBH used tree rings and other proxies to *infer* a global temperature.
How is that fraudulent? Many studies since have confirmed and reproduced the hockey stick, and replication is the gold standard in science, remember? And the HS is expected on theoretical grounds — that’s very simple to show.
Mann is a fraud. He was unable to convince a court otherwise, after he claimed that he was not a fraud as alleged by Tim Ball. Mann’s claim was dismissed by an objective outside legal body.
Mann is not a climatologist, and has no climatological qualifications – just like other so called climatologists.
Mann cannot even describe the GHE which is supposed to make the world hotter! What sort of scientist can’t even describe his supposed science? A pseudoscientist, that’s who! Fakers, frauds or fools, all. And their followers? Not terribly bright, obviously.
Cheers
‘Mann is not a climatologist, and has no climatological qualifications just like other so called climatologists.’
Poppycock!
Where do you get this nonsense from, Stephen?
He has worked in the field of climatology for at least 25 years, his PhD work was in climatology, and he published numerous highly cited papers in that field.
Also, Ball never inflated his credentials or anything of the sort. He has always explained he studied proxy data. He understands the limitations of proxy data especially trying to make if fit modern temperature record.
What has Ball ever published regarding proxies?
He did, though, lie about having a PhD in climatology.
David, please stop trolling.
Eman,
The judge did so because the case had no merit.
The case dismissed because of time delays.
Same thing. It had no merit.
This was a verbal decision from the bench; there are been no written judgement. There is no indication that the suit had no merit.
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/8/28/1881956/-Tim-Ball-Pleads-For-Mercy-As-An-Irrelevant-Sick-Old-Man-Gets-It-Declares-Victory
If the suit had any merit the judge would have let it continue.
Tim Ball asked for the termination, arguing he wasn’t important enough or widely read enough for his opinion to matter.
The judge did not rule on merit. Ball’s submission for termination relied heavily on the state of his health.
Ball’s request for termination also relied on his lack of status or efficacy.
A fine example of climatological redefinition. A loss is defined as a win.
Mann’s case was dismissed. It means the suit he brought against Ball failed. He was unable to rebut Ball’s defence that he spoke the truth when he called Mann a fraud.
Mann’s claim that he was defamed was dismissed. He refused to provide the evidence he undertook to provide to the court to show that Ball couldn’t claim truth as a defence.
Mann’s case was dismissed. He lost. Mann has to pay his own costs, and the court will apparently determine how much of Ball’s costs are to be paid by Mann, as Ball’s legal expenditure would have been nil had he not been sued by Mann.
Man is not only a fraud, he is also a fool and a faker. A fool for refusing to provide the court with evidence which would have supported his suit. How stupid is that?
Pseudoscience meets reality. Pseudoscience loses.
Cheers.
Ball asked for termination, so what? If the case had any merit the judge would not have terminated. Everyone recognizes it as a major victory for Ball except the hard core Nazi leftists.
Also, the judge awarded Ball court costs. Hmmm?
Is Penn State doing for Michael Mann what they did for Jerry Sandusky? Are they covering up criminal behavior?
Admitting you’re too insignificant for your opinion to matter is hardly winning a court case.
Mann’s suit against Ball was dismissed. Ball’s defence was truth. Mann was unable to show that he was not a fraud, in spite of claiming he could. Why would you promise that you would provide supporting evidence, and then claim you couldn’t show anybody because it was secret intellectual property?
It doesn’t matter – Mann’s suit against Ball was dismissed. No doubt Mann can sue Ball again, if he is convinced he can produce evidence to show he is not a fraud.
Ball won – Mann lost.
Cheers.

I wonder what effect the ocean currents have on Dorian.
Wiki:
“The Florida Current is a thermal ocean current that flows from the Straits of Florida around the Florida Peninsula and along the southeastern coast of the United States before joining the Gulf Stream Current near Cape Hatteras.”
…
“The Florida Current has an estimated mean transport of 30 Sv, varying seasonally and interannually by as much as 10 Sv. The volume transport increases as it flows farther north, reaching its maximum transport of 85 Sv near Cape Hatteras.”
…
“The Florida current reaches a maximum transport in July and a minimum transport in October, with a subsequent secondary maximum and minimum occurring in January and April, respectively.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Current
Anyhow, I don’t see any mention of it. Well, here it mentioned:
“RTOFS is an ocean forecast system based on the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), which is a dynamical model. The model is run once a day. In meteorology and oceanography, the goal of dynamical models is to explain observed circulations on the basis of fundamental physical principles using complex mathematical equations. RTOFS specific goal is to establish high resolution short-term forecasts (approximately 1 week) of the ocean circulations, including eddies and currents. There is special emphasis on determining the location and strength of the the entire Gulf Stream circulation.
One application of this model is to determine the path of objects embedded in the ocean such as the path of oil in an oil spill. Another application is to assist in hurricane strength forecasting. Water temperatures are higher in the Gulf Steam. If a hurricane is forecast to pass over the warmer Gulf Stream water, it could have a major impact on the strength of the hurricane. Knowing the exact location of currents such as the Gulf Stream and its associated warm and cold eddies is important information that can, in turn, be used in hurricane strength forecast models.”
http://www.myfoxhurricane.com/rtofs_current_gulf.html
But why wouldn’t effect the direction traveled by Dorian {the very slow moving hurricane, Dorian]
Another thing, will Dorian effect the gulf Stream [if goes on for a week or more].
Or can Dorian both affect the beginning leg of gulf steam and be affected in terms of direction the hurricane travels in.
Also what effect on storm surge will the ocean current have interacting with hurricane {particularly in regards hurricane at it’s present location and not moving very fast.
I didn’t play their model at:
http://www.myfoxhurricane.com/rtofs_current_gulf.html
But model seems indicate Dorian going to move fairly quickly north.
Which is possible.
Wiki:
“The water transport in the Gulf Stream gradually increases from 30 Sv in the Florida Current to a maximum of 150 Sv south of Newfoundland at 55W longitude.
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, at approximately 125 Sv, is the largest ocean current.
The entire global input of fresh water from rivers to the ocean is equal to about 1.2 Sv.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sverdrup
So each second a billion tons water traveling past a point.
All Rivers 1.2 billion tonnes water per second entering the ocean -and there is a lot seconds in a year.
Or US uses about 600 billion tonnes of water per year or equal to about 10 minutes of world’s total river discharge in year.
Anyways Florida Current is small faction {1 /5th} of gulf stream- but could have larger effect than it seems.
Or US uses about 600 billion tonnes of water per year or equal to about 10 minutes of worlds total river discharge in year.
But such water isn’t fungible, so comparing a country’s water use to global water availability matters not at all.
If the US uses less water that doesn’t mean Ethiopia has more fresh water available to it.
If US uses more water, it could allow Ethiopia to get a bit more.
In same sense the solar energy actually makes electrical power- a tiny amount.
So if US built a huge dam in Greenland and US used say 4 times more water, one could sell it as a way to allow Ethiopia to get more water- as some tiny percentage would end up in Ethiopia.
But if you were more serious about getting some water to Ethiopia,
one could probably irrigate the Sahara desert. And that is probably a lot cheaper than huge dam in Greenland.
It’s said one way to green a desert is to have cattle near edge of desert. So you can irrigate to grow food for cattle and raise cattle. And Africans could get more meat.
So, you could have Exodus African cattlemen to Sahara Desert, and they can provide more meat to Africa {and rest of the world}.
But of course I like bacon, and that does not solve the global shortage of bacon.
How does the water get from Greenland to Ethiopia?
Work it out for yourself. What’s your answer?
Cheers.

How does the water get from Greenland to Ethiopia?–
Wiki:
“Ethiopia has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and is Africa’s second most populous country. Many properties owned by the government during the previous regime have now been privatized and are in the process of privatization. However, certain sectors such as telecommunications, financial and insurance services, air and land transportation services, and retail, are considered as strategic sectors and are expected to remain under state control for the foreseeable future. ”
…
GDP: per capita $951 (nominal, 2019 est.)
It seems the Greenlanders are not going to ship it, and Ethiopians are not going to buy or get it.
But since government is suppose to involved in strategic sectors, maybe they should get water from Antarctica.
Do they need water:
“Access to water supply and sanitation in Ethiopia is amongst the lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa and the entire world. While access has increased substantially with funding from foreign aid, much still remains to be done to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of halving the share of people without access to water and sanitation by 2015, to improve sustainability and to improve service quality.
Some factors inhibiting the achievement of these goals are the limited capacity of water bureaus in the country’s nine regions,two city administrations and water desks in the 550 districts of Ethiopia (woredas); insufficient cost recovery for proper operation and maintenance; and different policies and procedures used by various donors, notwithstanding the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness.
In 2001 the government adopted a water and sanitation strategy that called for more decentralized decision-making; promoting the involvement of all stakeholders, including the private sector; increasing levels of cost recovery; as well as integrating water supply, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities. Implementation of the policy apparently is uneven.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in_Ethiopia
[[hmm, it seems they want to get the government out of the water business, but are struggling with it]]
“Ethiopia has 12 river basins with an annual runoff volume of 122 billion m3 of water and an estimated 2.6 – 6.5 billion m3 of ground water potential. This corresponds to an average of 1,575 m3 of physically available water per person per year, a relatively large volume. ” And:
“The major river in Ethiopia is the Blue Nile. However, most drinking water in Ethiopia comes from ground water, not rivers.”
Anyhow, the “1,575 m3” doesn’t seems like enough water, and they are planning on building more dams, but they use dam water for primary source of national electrical energy.
I generally think public sector can’t do anything very well, but maybe they could get water from Antarctica.
Do you have a guess what it might cost to ship water from Antarctica to Ethiopia?
It might well be cheaper to relocate the Ethiopians….

It might well be cheaper to relocate the Ethiopians.–
Well, I tend to think the public sector is not challenged enough,
so they can compared cost to relocate the Ethiopians vs cost to ship water from Antarctica.
It will likely be wrong, but it would give them something to do.
It might also give them excuse to talk to the neighboring countries in order to work out the scheme.
And dialogue with other countries might a good thing.
“challenged enough??”
What does that mean — more taxes?
There are many better investments to make in the world than shipping Antarctic water to Ethiopia. Like global vaccinations. Like universal health care. Like population reduction. Like protecting biodiversity. Like carbon reduction.

That is a common lefty answer.
How about trying something different.
–There are many better investments to make in the world than shipping Antarctic water to Ethiopia. Like global vaccinations. Like universal health care. Like population reduction. Like protecting biodiversity. Like carbon reduction.–
That, “Ethiopia has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world”, seems to indicates that Ethiopia could heading in right direction. And they seem to be planning on making more dams. Which seems like this could a good investment.
Carbon reduction would bad idea, unless carbon reduction means doing such things which increase/promote the future use of natural gas.
Roy, regarding your graph…. what’s the trend since 1950?
(Remember, you dismiss global warming before 1950, so it’s only fair to start your graph there. I’m guessing there IS a positive trend since then.)
Some are really dumb enough to counfound a hurricane’s moving speed with its power…
Jesus. Pseudoknowledge at its best…

Good to see that was the only part of his comment you could take issue with.
You idiot. I can take issue with anything I want to. You must live in some fantasy world, where you have power to read minds.
You might even delude yourself into thinking that I value your opinion. What a fool you are!
Cheers.
“I can take issue with anything I want to.”
Ain’t that true.
Yes.
Kerry Emanuel of MIT has an excellent presentation on hurricane intensity.
https://youtu.be/aR7a3ET5uws
The first part was interesting and informative, especially about the historical hurricane record.
But, at 29:00, he went pure psedoscience: “We’ve know for 30 years, blah-blah, hand-waving…basic physics.” Even his body language made him appear guilty.
That’s when I quit watching.
jack…”Kerry Emanuel of MIT has an excellent presentation on hurricane intensity”.
Emmanuel is a dyed-in-the-wool alarmist. Never listen to an alarmist. Check out a hurricane expert like Chris Landsea.
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2018/06/08/34001/
Dorian has run out of gas. His speed has been only about 1 mph for most of the day. The latest NHC report indicated Dorian’s movement as “nearly stationary”.
The maximum sustained winds continue to fall also, now reported at 145 mph. Dorian has dropped to Cat 4.
Stuck in one place, with the Sun now starting to set, Dorian needs some energy quickly.
Hope he’s not depending on CO2….
The energy source of a hurricane is the large latent heat of water.
That’s partically correct, Jack.
Think of it this way: The warm surface water starts the process, and the release of latent heat at altitude amplifies the process. Remove the warm surface water and the process ceases. So as a hurricane remains in one spot, it actually cools the surface, cutting off its own fuel.
Do you have a point?
Cheers.
jack…”The energy source of a hurricane is the large latent heat of water”.
Heat, the kinetic energy of atoms, provides the fuel. Something has to start it spinning.
Tornadoes get started when colder air from the north mingles with cooler air from the south to create rotation. I would guess there has to be two massive fronts available to start the rotation.
You might say that both hurricanes and tornadoes are started by weather.
Anyone else see, Roy W. Spencer on Fox?
He gave a brief and good explanation of why hurricanes are not related to global warming.
And made the reporter go, huh.
By “explanation” you mean “rationalization”.
Is that another pseudoscientific GHE true believer redefinition?
He wrote “explanation”, which you have redefined to mean “rationalisation”. You are just a person who cannot accept what others say.
You wrote “rationalization”, when you really meant “explanation”. No wonder you get confused!
Cheers.
I am always telling people they should know the religion that they belief in.
Global warming is largely about warming the planet outside of the tropics. Or most warming occurs in polar regions.
Now, a more exotic aspect of the religious yore, is the tropics pretty much remain around the same average temperature whether cooling or warming and that average temperature is about 26 C.
And hurricane need about 26 C.
midas…”By explanation you mean rationalization”.
Roy has a degree in meteorology, unlike you, a dimwit alarmist fairy. Roy has the credentials to explain hurricane activity whereas you cannot even provide a rationale for your religion.
As do the majority of meteorologists who share the opposite opinion.
Back to majority opinion, eh? Science is based on fact and reproducible experiment. Pseudoscience followers love a good consensus. Who can disprove an opinion?
My opinion is that you are a witless fool, who can’t even define what global warming is, much less why and how it would relate to hurricanes!
Cheers.
They share that opinion for a reason. And most of them are not invested in climate change.
It’s a pity you can’t state the opinion, who shares it, or why, but don’t let that worry you.
Facts don’t seem to concern you overmuch.
By the way, climate is only the average of weather – no investment required. Just 12 year old arithmetic.
Cheers.
Wonder why Fox never puts any other scientists on their programs but those who they know will give them the answer they want.
I think the fox reporter was a bit surprised.
As for “other scientists” the pseudo scientists will not go on any news program if they are facing a reporter.
Real reporters sometimes ask the wrong questions and they tend expect an answer.
For instance, a reporter might ask why is there less hurricanes recently {some reporters actually do their homework}.
The only correct answer is that global warming does not cause more hurricanes.
Or you can have global warming and have less hurricanes.
But that not a religiously correct thing to say.
Mann goes in front of the media every day. So you’re wrong about that. I regularly see other climate scientists quoted in the news. Maybe you should read more closely. Or, probably, wider.
We all know why Fox won’t ask anyone else.
Why is that? Maybe because climate science is defined as the study of weather over a nominal period?
Not much science there. Basic arithmetic, and the ability to calculate an average. Not science.

What I dont get about the hockey stick is why stich in instrumental data at all? If the proxy is working (sampled correctly) then the modern tree ring record last decade would match anyway. This is why it is fundamentally illogical to me. It is absolutely unnecessary to change methods. In an unbiased science community world you could not bait and switch. As I understand it tree rings are not generally picking up the climate change. Same with Ice core data. They bait and switch and hide that the resolution is smoothed and high frequency fluctuations (century scale or less) are indistinguishable. This, this warming event could have occurred many times without detection.
Aaron.
aaron…”What I dont get about the hockey stick is why stich in instrumental data at all?”
It’s called ‘hide the decline’. On its own, the tree ring proxy data was showing cooling. Mann et all snipped off the cooling and spliced in real data.
They also hid the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period to get a straight shaft. All in all, the hockey stick graph was an amateur production created by non-climate scientists. It was so bad that one tree covered an entire century.
Aaron,
Tim Ball was asking Mann for his R2 regression analysis of the data. The regression analysis states how well the curve you draw fits the data. Mann has never produced that and no one has ever reproduced his curve using all the data which he has never produced. If you go onto wikipedia you will find all kind of BS about how Mann and his team used all kinds of analyses on all this raw data which allowed them to exclude some data and use other data, etc. etc.-all BS. Mann manipulated the data until he got the curve he wanted and also unscientifically spliced two completely different types of data to construct the curve. What I want to know is Penn State culpable in a fraudulent attempt to deceive the public like they did in the Sandusky case?
The “declne” was a divergence between the observed temperature record and the temperatures derived from tree rings.
The tree rings were growing less,as would happen if the temperature trend had reversed.
In retrospect, the decline coincides with the 1960s trend to high chimneys on power plants. This spread acid rain across Europe and reduced tree growth for a reason independent of temperature.
Dendrochronology (treemometry) is bunkum. Pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo, promoted by fools, fakers, and frauds.
Give one of the practitioners of this branch of pseudoscience a lump of wood, and ask them to divine the air temperature of each year of growth. Some people are gullible enough to believe anything.
Cheers.
Eman,
I know if it wasn’t for damn humans and their acid rain those tree rings would have shown temperature to certainly increase just like the temperature record showed. Damn humans and damn their acid rain.
North of Dorian are the highs. Dorian stopped.
stephen…”Gordon,
Salby is much more than a skeptic. He has shown with a 95% proability that the temperature curve is due to randomness-that there is no systematic influence on temperature. This supports the point youve been making”.
Thanks for clarification. I did not remember using the word ‘random’, it was Salby then. The point I have been making in that direction is that CO2 has nothing to do with warming and that any warming is due to natural causes. That would align with Salby’s thinking.
Salby’s argument is compelling. I liked the point he made about alarmists beginning their data circa 1960 to avoid the equal warming in the 30s and 40s.
DA…”Where can I read Salbys peer reviewed journal papers?”
You can’t, it out of bounds for alarmist weenies like you.
So they don’t exist – got it.
So you can’t even describe the GHE – got it.
Cheers.
Acutally I think Salby has authored or coauthored over 70 peer reviewed papers on atmospheric physics. He was considered an intellectual giant (he still is) until he ran afoul of the pseudoscience community. Then of course McQuarrie University siezed all of his records and files. DA, if you are unafraid of the truth why don’t you and your ilk call out for McQuarrie to release his records and files?
Try MACQUARIE.
Sorry I didn’t look up the correct spelling Midas. Did I offend your Australian sensibilities?
Just trying to attract your attention. Now that I have it, when do you plan on answering my question? My last post on the matter repeated for your benefit:

No, I want you to explain the key points of his explanation, in logical order.
OK, let’s take the first point which is that the temperature record, both proxy and satellite have displayed random variation and not systematic variation. Do you understand probability density functions?
Also, I’ve never been able to consistently write mathematical equations on this board so I’ll have to verbally explain and ask you to go to points on the video. Is that OK?
You would agree that temperature is not discrete random variables but conforms to the probability density function?

I have seen Trump do nothing to compare with that level of sleeziness during his term as President.
How about Hillary? Lyin’ Willie cheats on her several times, culminating in him sexually harassing a female intern in the Oval Office, while having sex with her, yet Hillary stays with her man and blames the women for leading him astray.

midas…”GR
No scientific evidence that he is right?”
I gave you the evidence you dimwit.
Montagnier discovered HIV circa 1983 and has steadfastly claimed since 1983 that HIV could not cause AIDS on its own, that a co-factor was required. He recently supplied the co-factor, the immune system has to be compromised first. Stated another way, HIV cannot infect a healthy immune system.
Duesberg stated that 25 years ago. He pointed out that the T-cells in the immune system outnumbered HIV cells 800 to 1, even in a badly compromised immune system. In other words, the immune system was handling the infection even in sick people.
The stats support Montagnier and Duesberg. In countries where people in general have healthy immune systems, AIDS deaths are a small fraction of 1%. That small fraction is 90% due to two high risk groups: homosexual males and IV drug users.
Duesberg advised homosexual males 25 years ago that if they had monogamous relationships they had nothing to worry about. The 16% of homosexual males who do contract AIDS are involved with multiple partners and doing drugs. He narrowed down certain AIDS opportunistic infects like Kaposi’s sarcoma and pneumocystitis to specific practices of high-risk homosexual males.
Duesberg has claimed all along that AIDS is a lyfestyle problem, not a viral problem. Montagnier now agrees.
I was referring to Salby. I have no interest in a discussion on AIDS, except to say that that other idiot who denies both the cause of AIDS and the cause of climate change was mercifully taken from this earth a few weeks ago by aliens disguised as glowing green raccoons.
Midas- You might have no interest in discussing HIV/AIDs, but Gordon looks for it – it is an obsession of his that he eventually tries to weave into every debate. For homophobic and xenophobic reasons, with little understanding of the condition as it stands in North America currently.
Why am I not surprised to uncover the background to Gordon’s hero Duesberg.
According to Wikipedia:
“Duesberg’s views are cited as major influences on South African HIV/AIDS policy under the administration of Thabo Mbeki, which embraced AIDS denialism. Duesberg served on an advisory panel to Mbeki convened in 2000. The Mbeki administration’s failure to provide antiretroviral drugs in a timely manner, due in part to the influence of AIDS denialism, is thought to be responsible for hundreds of thousands of preventable AIDS deaths and HIV infections in South Africa.[12][13] Duesberg disputed these findings in an article in the journal Medical Hypotheses,[14] but the journal’s publisher, Elsevier, later retracted Duesberg’s article over accuracy and ethics concerns as well as its rejection during peer review.[15][16] The incident prompted several complaints to Duesberg’s institution, the University of California, Berkeley, which began a misconduct investigation of Duesberg in 2009.[17][18] The investigation was dropped in 2010, with university officials finding “insufficient evidence … to support a recommendation for disciplinary action.”
See that expression: “AIDS denialism” ? Any climate denialists here like to disassociate themselves from this character?
Note: “..responsible for hundreds of thousands of preventable AIDS deaths ”
Fascinating what grubs you discover when you turn over a rock.
Mi-Des, Ian, please stop trolling.
gbaikie…”Gordon Robertson, you are right, the temperature curve is almost certainly random and there is no systematic influence on the planets temperature.
gb…The planets temperature is not random.
***
It was not me who claimed it was random, it was Salby. Stephen has kindly clarified that in a later post.
I do agree with Salby’s analysis but I don’t think he is denying what you claim re the oceans. I think he is claiming there is no predictable underlying causation. In other words, the oceans don’t follow a predictable pattern with their warming.
the oceans dont follow a predictable pattern with their warming
Really????
I have noticed over the last 60 years or so that the water temperature at my local beach is higher in summer than in winter.
So this is just a random occurrence according to Salby.
Simply brilliant.
SPM,
Yes the Earth does orbit around the Sun approximately every 365 days. Yes, the Earth does rotate on its axis ever 24 hours. And, yes the Moon does orbit the Earth approximately every 30 days. I’m submitting your name to the Nobel committee.
Every 23 hours 56 minutes. Sorry – you miss out on the Nobel.
Thanks for your input there Stephen.
You have really delved deep into that intellect of yours and come up with a response, which, like you, is totally irrelevant.
Try harder next time.
Just trying to help you clear up your misunderstanding of randomness.
SPM,
You seem to be incapable of accepting basic physics. Blaming others for your own stupidity and ignorance won’t make you any smarter.
You should try harder to understand. At the moment, it’s not necessary to try hard at all, to be smarter than you. Off you go. Predict that the Sun will rise tomorrow. Pat yourself on the back if it does.
Gee, how clever are you?
Cheers.
Don’t be really, really, stupid. It has been known for a long, long, time, that sunlight can make things hotter – even water. Summer is generally warmer than winter for this reason.
You don’t even know what the water temperature at a particular location, at a particular depth is, right now, do you? Predict away!
You are confused. Random is not the same as chaotic. It sounds like Salby is smarter than you, but feel free to provide evidence to the contrary.
Cheers.
spm…”I have noticed over the last 60 years or so that the water temperature at my local beach is higher in summer than in winter”.
Get with the program, laddie, we are not talking about how the oceans have warmed, we’re talking about how the oceans warm the planet. I have claimed Sabby was right, it’s unpredictable.
For all you know, in 50 or 100 years that warmed ocean may have cooled. Salby claims there is no rhyme or reason to the warming/cooling.
Gordon,
I was referencing the fact that you don’t believe there is any GHE at all. I believed that possibly Dan Pangburn’s work had shown that there could be an influence from increased water vapor caused by man. I think you had disagreed with that too. I do too now.
stephen…”Gordon,
I was referencing the fact that you dont believe there is any GHE at all”.
**********
Thanks for further clarification.
To be clear, I think something has increased the Earth’s surface temperature over a similar planet with no atmosphere and no oceans. I just cannot accept the GHE theory as presented.
The GHE is based on a real greenhouse. The basis for the analogy is the incorrect notion that glass traps electromagnetic radiation (IR) which in turn somehow raises the temperature of the air in the greenhouse. Certain types of glass might block IR but there is no explanation as to how such blocked IR can raise the temperature of air inside the greenhouse, which is 99% nitrogen and oxygen.
The alternate theory of greenhouse warmed offered by CO2 (and other gases) radiation expert, R.W. Wood, is that the greenhouse warms due to a lack of convection, or reduced convection. He did an experiment to prove that fact.
Wood claimed CO2 radiation could not warm the atmosphere. He thought it far more likely that air is heated by the surface, and being a gas, it cannot radiate the heat away easily. The stored heat, for whatever time, increases the temperature of the atmosphere.
Then there are the oceans. They store heat and transport it around the planet. Here in Vancouver, Canada, we benefit from tropical heat transported to the west coast of North America by the Japanese Current.
The oceans also have oscillations, like ENSO, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the Arctic Oscillation, etc. Tsonis et al discovered that the oscillation operate in phase and out of phase. When in phase, the planet warms, when out of phase it cools.
I don’t buy the argument that greenhouse gases like CO2 or WV can slow down radiation at the surface. According to Stefan-Boltzmann, the only effective slowing of heat loss would be the surface-atmosphere interface. That means the temperature of the air layer at the surface mitigates the rate of heat loss.
The layer is 99%+ nitrogen and oxygen.
Obviously the interface should be in thermal equilibrium. However, as air warms it rises and cooler air from aloft replaces it. Therefore you have a cycle atmospheric temperature fluctuation at the interface.
Lindzen has claimed that without such convection, the surface temperature could rise to 70C. Therefore, the nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere cools the surface if anything.
I am only claiming that whatever has raised the Earth’s temperature is far more complex than what we understand.
How I Love living in a time when a truck driver in the Midwest that’s fascinated by the natural sciences in general and weather and climate can garner so much information from such reliable and informed sources while sitting at his computer in his study and then use that same tool to impart what he has learned to others.
On August 12th I sent out this e-mail to family and friends:
“Though the ACE index is only at 29% of average for the North Atlantic Basin where our hurricanes form as I write this, things are changing and we can expect the tropics to start firing up in a couple weeks. The dust and dry air over the Atlantic Basin MDR is dissipating. The weak Modoki El Nino is gone and the ENSO is now neutral and the MJO is moving towards sector 2. All of these point to conditions much more conducive for Tropical Storm development in the Atlantic Basin. So it looks like there is a good chance the 2nd half of the Atlantic Hurricane season is going to be quite active.”
In a separate e-mail to my girls that had just moved into a home at Daytona Beach about 3 blocks from the shore I sent the above e-mail and added that they should get hurricane shutters installed ASAP!
I’m not tooting my horn here. Far from it! I’m lauding the real experts that imparted the information and knowledge that allowed a truck driver to forewarn those he cares about the possibility of dangerous weather coming and the technology that allowed me gain that insight and share it.
So, thanks so much to people like Roy Spencer, Joe Bastardi, Levi Cowan, Ryan Maue, and so many others that over the years shared their knowledge in a manner that allowed even a truck driver to comprehend most of it and put it to good use.
Don’t forget Dr. Bill Gray, a leading hurricane expert.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_M._Gray
And don’t worry about “tooting your horn”, rah. You have been able to learn. There are many that are unable to learn. The information is out there. People just have to learn to leave their uneducated opinions behind and accept reality.
Dr Bill Gray died in 2016 aged 89 years.
Sir Isaac Newton died in 1727 aged 84 years.

Cheers.
studentb, if you had read the wiki link I provided, you would know that Dr Gray was 86 when he passed.

“HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system . (The immune system fights infections and diseases in a person’s body.)
Over time, HIV weakens a person’s immune system so it has a very hard time fighting diseases.
HIV causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). People with HIV can have it for many years before it develops into AIDS.
Further infos:

And it is no wonder at all that those ignoring what HIV really is, also ignore everything about people like Luc Montagnier who has been contradicted in France due to absolutely unscientific ideas.
His most incredible, nonsensical ‘contributions’ were
– that healthy persons would be able to beat HIV by themselves,
and
– that vaccination would be dangerous, causing the Sudden infant death syndrome, what has been demonstrated by French researchers to be absolutely wrong.
All stuff based on individual observations lacking scientific behavior like long term studieds over greater populations.
He was contradicted by French medicine scientists with such intensisty that he then left France toward China in 2010 where he got a chair at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
The differencre between the English and the French Wiki pages concerning Montagnier is simply tremendous.
binny…”HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system . (The immune system fights infections and diseases in a persons body.)
Over time, HIV weakens a persons immune system so it has a very hard time fighting diseases”.
**********
You believe this propaganda for the same reason you believe the Moon rotates on its axis. None of what you wrote above has ever been proved.
For one, no one has ever seen the HIV virus, isolated it, or purified it. When Montagnier was confronted with that information he agreed his team had not seen it, isolated it, or purified it. He thought he had isolated it but could not prove it.
All of these procedures is required to prove a virus exists, according to the Louis Pasteur Institute, who laid out the guidelines. One of the members on Montagnier’s team sat on the LPI board that laid out the guidelines yet none of the group applied them in their claim to have found the virus.
Montagnier further offered that the virus is ‘presumed’ to exist based on RNA particles found in a person with AIDS. The antiviral inferred to treat HIV is based on that phantom information. No one applying the antiviral has any idea what the so-called virus is attacking.
The companies who produce the antivirals offer a disclaimer that the antivirals will not cure HIV. Yet HIV+ people are put on this crap for life. The companies also claim that the antivirals can cause kidney and liver damage leading to death.
But here’s the clanger. The companies admit the antivirals produce IRS, and srug induced form of AIDS. Peter Duesberg called that practice ‘death by prescription’.
Biologist, Stefan Lanka, who discovered the first virus in the ocean, thinks HIV does NOT exist. In fact, he has claimed that photos of HIV and other viruses, have been fabricated, or represent cells in which HIV is thought to exist.
http://www.whale.to/a/lanka5.html
Peter Duesberg, an authority on retroviruses like the phantom HIV, claims it is absurd that a virus would wait up to 15 years before activating. He claimed that all known viruses that infect, do so within a week.
Good explanation for HIV by an expert:
http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/hiv/pdpnas89.htm
general skepticism about the HIV/AIDS connection:
http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/
from Duesberg…
http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/whistleblowers.htm
Once again, the data supports these scientists. HIV has NOT become the epidemic predicted. In countries where people enjoy healthy immune systems, AIDS is generally unknown. It is restricted (90%+) to high risk groups like certain male homosexuals (16% of male homosexuals) and IV drug users.
It has mainly been the media who has spread the propaganda about HIV/AIDS. Those people should be prosecuted.
Gordon readily appeals to an authority figure with loose screws, but dismisses actual data (such as below) as fake news. As judged by Gordon, no data should be trusted anymore.
In the 1980s and 90s, infection with HIV was a certain death sentence, even in non-s-hole countries.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5302412/
It is plain to see, as in fig 2 here, that before anti-viral treatment in Switzerland, with an HIV infection at age 20, death on average came by age 31.
With the advent of anti-viral treatment in the 1990s, someone infected at age 20, will live to age 75 on average.
If one of Gordon’s family members gets HIV, I certainly hope they won’t take his treatment advice.
Nate – antiretroviral therapy is an astonishing thing! And it has come really far since the early days of treatment. Gordon states there is no epidemic – well, there isn’t anymore, because the therapies have come so far. Though in his mind, mainly “gays and Africans” get it for miscellaneous reasons that don’t apply to everyone else. Ostensibly, these denialists blame malnutrition, drug use, and “other disease” – this is obscurist language, shielding beliefs that are a lot more grim and ignorant.
Nice propaganda sites.
While you pretend to be outraged that people are dying, what you miss is that:
– an inflammatory response is typical for a variety of immunodeficiency issues, once they begin to be treated. It is as if the beleagured immune system that was almost completely compromised now has just enough energy to say “Hey, I can tackle this other stuff I have brewing.” It is NOT death by prescription. No current physician treating HIV/AIDs says this. YOU say this, as you munch cookies at your keyboard in the dark and pretend to be a rebel. You first have to have knowledge so you at least know what side you are choosing. You are a cheerfully ignorant homophobe xenophobe, so you will never be bothered to change your mind about HIV/AIDs.
-no one is claiming there is a cure for HIV/AIDs, you ninny. It is a lifelong chronic illness thus must be managed daily. Why are you outraged about this? No one is claiming to cure AIDs. The current therapies do wonders and improve quality of life tenfold.
I am all for questioning established knowledge but you are egregiously misinformed and are too stupid to even be ashamed of yourself. I am ashamed of you on your behalf.

Dorian is not moving fast enough. The longer he stays in one spot, the more he depletes the sea surface energy. But, he is now close enough to shore to catch the northbound warm current. That’s helping to keep him alive, even though his strength is about to fall to Cat 2.
At least he was smart enough to get stuck in a warm current. A stupid hurricane would have tried to get energy from CO2….

Thanks for the info.
It is amazing to see how condescendant some people can write about such events, whenever they are not at all concerned by their consequences.
Tomorrow I read in the (very conservative) French newspaper ‘Le Figaro’ about this hurricane.
It was instinctively clear to me that for a target like the Bahamas, a hurricane’s slowdown would have worst consequences.
Here is a pic made by a Polish/Finnish microsatellite:

I imagine some reactions in CONUS, far away from any endangering:
‘But Bindidon, keep cool! Only 5 persons died! Did they really?
60,000 people with immediate nutrition problems? So what!
I’m sure you alarmist Figaro misinformed you.’
Or, a voice out of the Great Plains:
‘Bahamas? Wha’ you say man? bahamas? Kinda banana?
C’na eat it?’

Sometimes one could begin to really enjoy the idea that such stupid, ignorant ‘commenter’s one day might become a direct target of what they are laughing here about today.

And we can be sure that all rich people will have saved their giant cabin cruisers in due time, saying:
‘Good bye, guys ‘n dolls, see you again when your nice islands are pretty enough for us!’
Another long-winded, biased opinion from Bindidon.
Nothing new.
Bindidon,
I’ve read that potentially 13,000 homes are destroyed and 5 deaths in The Bahamas.
It’s hard to know if the climate debate makes some people so cold-blooded on related issues, or if they are that way anyway.
Human pschology is not my field, but I have noticed that, in the AGW nonsense, people that are not educated in the relevant physics get quite defensive, even to the point of insulting, misrepresentating others, making false accusations, and even avoiding reality.
It’s almost like they know they have a false religion, but don’t want to leave it. Someone once used the term “cargo cult”.
Only 5 deaths because people had plenty of warning.
Thanks to numerical weather models and the GHE they include.
Anonymous Nate, does using other people’s tragedy to push your false religion make you feel like a hero?

People like you and Huffman should be picked up by the troop on some cold morning at 4 AM, put on a military truck and sent to the Bahamas, where they would have to stay for 6 months, and work there 7 days per week in reconstructing what has been destroyed by this ‘pathetic CAT 2’ Dorian pseudohurricane.
Bindidon are you willing to pay for our vacation? I’ve always wanted to go to the Bahamas, and 6 months is plenty of time to really get to know the place.

binny…”People like you and Huffman should be picked up by the troop on some cold morning at 4 AM, put on a military truck and sent to the Bahamas”
Just can’t bring yourself to admit that a hurricane’s strength can be related to its speed. When it’s forward momentum was stalled at the Bahamas, it ran out of steam.
That’s a testament to the power in the atmosphere, that a ferocious hurricane locale can be directed and manipulated by stronger forces.
Actually, when you look at it from aloft, and see those fronts curling around each other, it’s pretty impressive. I am currently watching it being guided along the US east coast by some mysterious force, as it peters out.
Another hurricane is developing in the eastern Atlantic. It is the effect of strong solar wind in the north.

mickey…”See that expression: AIDS denialism ?”
Is there any chance you could possibly try using a little bit of intelligence before running off at the mouth about something you don’t understand?
It’s a term like climate denial. It means nothing.
Duesberg has never claimed AIDS does not exist, he has only claimed that HIV could not cause it. No one has ever proved what causes AIDS. Some people have developed AIDS while being HIV negative. Some people with HIV have never developed AIDS.
People who use the term, “AIDS denial”, are presuming, incorrectly, that HIV and AIDS are the same thing. AIDS is an umbrella acronym that covers over 30 opportunistic infections, like Kaposi’s Sarcoma on one end and hepatitis on the other. The connection is that they infect a body with a malfunctioning immune system.
So what is it, AIDS denial, or HIV denial? It’s akin to climate denial vs global warming denial.
Anything about Duesberg in the wiki was written by an idiot unable to think for himself/herself. Duesberg is an expert on retroviruses like HIV. He has carefully explained his position and time has proved him correct.
On the other hand, the guru of the HIV/AIDS hypothesis in North America, Robert Gallo, once made a fool of himself by claiming cancer was caused by a virus. When opportunity knocked, Gallo presented his failed cancer viral hypothesis to the Reagan administration as the HIV/AIDS hypothesis. Same theory, different symptoms.
Meantime, Gallo has cleaned up financially. He patented the HIV tests and has made a load of money from them. Trouble is, they don’t work.
Get the picture? The same crowd of alarmists who have crippled science with the AGW theory did the same with the HIV/AIDS theory. Same pseudo-science, different crowd.
Hello Gordon,
You are very quick with tossing off insults like “jackass” and “stupid” in every single posting where you are retorting to someone who doesn’t validate your ravings: The knee-jerk mudslinging of a reactionary pseudointellectual clinging to beliefs quite outside his realm. You still have not answered my question about what your own credentials are? I am guessing electronics assemblyman or handyman work. You speak with assertion, but not with the tone of one exposed to modern knowledge. I also sense frustration.
Yet you are so enamoured of the perceived underdogs, so invested in discrediting what is established, that you are embarrassing in your embrace of discredited or outdated beliefs, particularly related to HIV/AIDs.
You refer to (obsess over!) scientists from decades ago who might have contributed useful ideas at one time but are quite irrelevant to the field of HIV/AIDs therapy as it stands today.
Luc Montagnier is currently peddling homeopathy in China.
Your boyfriend Duesberg was promising in his cancer research a few decades ago, but now is an established crank (who gained the stature of an “expert” in your eyes by a paper published *and then redacted* by a journal whose express purpose is to present “hey what if?” ideas unsupported by peer review). Duesberg has since utterly ebraced his racism and homophobia and status of an irrelevant old man (three things that you seem to share with him!). He clings to tenure at Berkeley by a thread that was woven decades ago when he was actually a contributing biologist in the field he knew something about: cancer. Shamefully, he saw an opportunity for some money and power (the latter he has long since lost in USA) by becoming an advisor to Thebo Mbeki, President of South Africa and fellow lazy-arsed AIDs denialist. Duesberg thus directly contributed to deaths that might have been prevented with antiretroviral medication (sorry to use “denialist”, one of your trigger words!) So this is your oft-spouted hero. Slink off, Gordon.
You talk about the WHO declaring an epidemic 20 years ago. Dude, it WAS an epidemic 20 years ago, even in your beloved Canada (where it still exists, by the way, but is thankfully quite readily managed by a medication schedule that is in no way the killer you think it is). You get all red in the face about AZT, one of the earliest antiretroviral medications on the market – can you even name ONE modern antiretroviral? AZT is still used, but only in combination with another antiretroviral. Like any medication it has side-effects – side-effects that can be quite well managed. In contrast to, you know, full blown AIDs, you afternoon farmer.
I feel like your understanding of HIV/AIDs therapy/treatment ended 20 years ago because that is all you ever reference. Go to St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver and there are myriad up-to-date, relevant, devoted doctors and researchers who are actually contributing to this field.

********
I don’t use the word stupid that often, it is more along the line of jackass or idiot. I reserve those names for special alarmists who come here to oppose Roy’s moderate message re warming/climate change. Even at that, I reserve the terms for egregious claims based on pseudo-science.
“Luc Montagnier is currently peddling homeopathy in China”.
It’s not homeopathy, it’s good medical science related to oxidative stress. He thinks AIDS is oxidative stress and that the natural cure is to stop the high risk behavior one is practicing and take antioxidants.
That’s along the lines of what Duesberg recommended more than 20 years ago…stop the high risk behavior.
BTW…MOntagnier never did advocate that HIV causes AIDS, he has claimed all along that a co-factor is required.
“Your boyfriend Duesberg was promising in his cancer research a few decades ago, but now is an established crank…”
Anyone who would claim such nonsense about Duesberg, with his background and expertise in retroviruses, is both a jackass and an idiot. You have confirmed that with your inability to discriminate brilliance from an appeal to authority, which those who support the HIV/AIDS hypothesis long for.
Not many researchers are inducted into the National Academy of Science and he was the youngest inductee at the time. Duesberg was framed by idiots like you.
“it WAS an epidemic 20 years ago, even in your beloved Canada (where it still exists, by the way, but is thankfully quite readily managed by a medication schedule that is in no way the killer you think it is)”.
The epidemic was akin to the current frenzy about catastrophic warming/climate change.
You are full of crap that HIV is being managed by antivirals. The companies who produce them claim they cannot cure HIV. They also admit that the drugs cause AIDS.
Antivirals today are not much better than AZT, which was banned as a cancer chemotherapy agent because it was far too harsh. Not too harsh for the witch-doctors who use it on HIV positives…for life. Seriously, those people deserve to be in jail.
Read this horror story by David Rasnick, who helped develop antivirals while working for pharmaceutical companies. He covers AZT which is marked with a skull and crossbones (poison) and has a warning that the drug should not be inhaled or come in contact with the skin.
It’s OK for an HIV+ to take it for life, however, to treat a virus which has never been seen and which the drug companies claim cannot be cured by their drugs.

You are a serious twit, a typical butt-kissing believer who lacks the ability to use any intelligence you may harbour below your thickness.
“Go to St. Pauls Hospital in Vancouver and there are myriad up-to-date, relevant, devoted doctors and researchers who are actually contributing to this field”.
BS. St. Paul’s program is run by Julio Montaner. He came on TV one night imploring British Columbians to be tested for HIV. When pinned down on the severity of the problem he admitted that if every person in BC was tested (~4 million) only a small fraction of 1% would test positive for HIV.
Montaner is paid by pharmaceutical companies to speak on bahalf of their drugs. I have a very low regard for him.
Dorian continued to weaken overnight. His min. pressure is climbing, as winds decrease. His winds must remain above 95 mph for him to maintain Cat 2 status.
To miss South Carolina, he needs to start a sharp turn to the east, SOON!

Gordon states there is no epidemic well, there isnt anymore, because the therapies have come so far. Though in his mind, mainly gays and Africans get it for miscellaneous reasons that dont apply to everyone else. Ostensibly, these denialists blame malnutrition, drug use, and other disease this is obscurist language, shielding beliefs that are a lot more grim and ignorant”.
***********
No antiviral has ever cured AIDS because there is no specific disease to cure.
AIDS IS NOT A DISEASE!!!
AIDS is an umbrella term for up to 30 opportunistic infections that are claimed to infect a person with a weak immune system.
The manufacturers have offered a disclaimer that antivirals DO NOT cure HIV. So, what is being cured???
Hint: Nothing!!!
So, what is being targeted by antivirals???. NO ONE KNOWS!!! The team that discovered HIV only claimed that certain RNA particles were found which they thought was HIV. The presumed that 1 in 10,000 particles in a sample taken from a person with advanced AIDS was HIV.
THEY PRESUMED IT!!!
All that can be targeted is RNA particles.
The companies that produce the antivirals claim they DO NOT CURE HIV. If they cannot cure HIV they cannot eradicate the virus. What are they doing?
part 2…Let’s take one of the AIDS opportunistic infections, tuberculosis. The cause has been known for a long time, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. If you get sick from mycobacterium tuberculosis you have tuberculosis. If HIV is detected, you have AIDS.
Ridiculous!!!
BACTERIA CAUSES ONE AIDS OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTION!!!
I know, I know…HIV is supposed to weaken the immune system so those infections can get in. But where do does the bacteria come from in the first place? It’s not like you pick it up from toilet seats.
It’s a lifestyle problem.
part 3…Here are some other AIDS opportunistic infections and their causes:
Kaposis’s sarcoma…This cancer, also known as KS, is caused by a virus called Kaposis sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV)
Histoplasmosis…This illness is caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum.
Isosporiasis…This infection is caused by the parasite Isospora belli,
Herpes Simplex…Herpes simplex virus
Candidiasis…type of fungus called Candida
Lymphoma..cancer of the lymph nodes
Pneumocystis carinii…caused by a fungus, Pneumocystis carinii
Wasting Syndrome…also known as Slim’s Disease…caused by…you guessed it…malnutrition, contaminated drinking water, and parasitic infections.
Guess what all of the above opportunistic infections are also related to??? Severe partying, drugs, and having sex indiscriminately with multiple partners while stoned, especially homosexual sex since it involves bacteria from another person’s butt.
Wasting syndrome, or Slim’s disease, was well known in places like Africa long before the HIV/AIDS nonsense began in 1983. The cause is well-documented: malnutrition, contaminated drinking water, and parasitic infection like malaria.
Sum them up, you get LIFESTYLE!!!
part4…
Are you taking notes?
Many gay men suffer enlarged lymph nodes, they have candidiasis and other fungal diseases, they have venereal diseases…and all without having HIV. They could die from their activities anyway, but some idiot noted that a harmless virus MIGHT be the cause of deaths back in 1983, and the media has turned HIV, the virus ‘THOUGHT to cause AIDS’, into HIV, the AIDS virus.
No one has ever proved that HIV can do anything, or even that it exists. All we have received as the public is a massive coverup for the gay lifestyle.
Africa is a different matter. The poor souls there dying of wasting syndrome are now being blamed for acquiring it through sexual transmission of HIV.
That’s sick!!! Those people are dying of malnutrition, contaminated drinking water, and parasitic infections.
Only a stark, raving idiot would miss that obvious cause and blame it on a virus that has never been seen, isolated, or purified.
Wow, it is arrogant to presume I’d take notes from a ranting eccentric with a bug up his arse, so egotistical that he speaks in black and white on a complex health issue. Taking medical/scientific advice from Gordon would be like taking financial advice from the man begging with a can outside of the drugstore.
Reading your ALL CAPS rant doesn’t convince anybody – it merely allows us to imagine the proverbial spittle flying as you yell.
Your rhetoric is tired and 25 years out if date. On your wall calendar, what year is it? It is incredible that you think you are presenting facts when in fact you are just an ill-informed homophobe and racist (“lifestyle problem” is easily translatable into what you REALLY mean. Also, don’t fake concern (“those poor people…”). You are not concerned, or else you would inform yourself, and not just prop up your perceived “dissidence” by relying on the same disproven talking heads. What you view as scientific dissidence is actually just unsophisticated and uninformed denialsm. Those who advocate your views are usually lethally deluded (see: denialists infected with HIV who succumbed to their disease, all the while protesting that there is no such thing. Christine Maggiore, Karri Stokley, virtually everyone in ACT UP…but the true unfortunates are those not given a fighting chance because of opportunistic has-beens like Peter Duesberg advising AGAINST life saving pharmaceutical interventions.
Um, congratulations on listing known opportunistic infections, I guess? These are well-documented as complications.
You cherry pick your sources and have your beloved figureheads who speak Gospel in your mind.
Good thing you are irrelevant. The real work is getting done in the meantime and those afflicted with HIV/AIDs are being helped, no matter what delusional contrarians think.
As someone pointed out above, “fight ignorance where you find it,” but this is a site about climate, not medicine, so I will respectfully turn the conversation back to that topic. There is no reason in you – you’re like a newborn baby chicken who has decided a pile of turd is its mother.
plastic…”You cherry pick your sources and have your beloved figureheads who speak Gospel in your mind.”
You are even more of an idiot than binny.
In this video, which I posted elsewhere in this thread, David Rasnick, an expert on antivirals claims they have no healing effect at all.
Takes the video a bit to get into the drug info. Be patient.
http://www.davidrasnick.com/aids/hiv-drugs-cause-aids.html
http://www.davidrasnick.com/aids/index.html
Rasnick worked for pharmaceutical companies developing such drugs. The pharmaceutical companies themselves admit right on the drug container labels that they cannot cure HIV.
On the label of the drugs NOT released to the consumer, there is a skull and crossbones to indicate a poison. The handler is advised not to touch the drugs, they are that poisonous.
Where do you come by your stupidity and your need to follow a pseudo-scientific paradigm? Do you lack the sense to read what skeptics have to say and weigh it against the fairy tales of HIV/AIDS proponents?
Why are you so stupid as to believe an extremely toxic drug has any benefit whatsoever to a person tested as HIV+? As Rasnick put it, if a cancer doctor put a cancer patient on an antiviral like AZT for life, he’d be thrown in jail. Yet the witch doctors claiming to heal HIV positives get away with it.
People are being killed and made seriously ill by antivirals.
The antivirals cause AIDS, for cripes sakes…it is called IRS rather than AIDS.
Here’s one rationale for IRS. It is claimed that taking antivirals heals the immune system. How does an extremely toxic drug heal an immune system?
Supposedly by killing HIV thus curing a patient of HIV. But wait…the drug companies claim the antivirals cannot do that. And there is no proof whatsoever that HIV can damage an immune system. Montagnier, who discovered HIV, claims the immune system has to be damaged first…by lifestyle.
It is further claimed that an opportunistic infection like tuberculosis goes into hiding when the immune system is weakened. When the antivirals are taken, the immune system magically gets stronger and the TB just as magically re-appears.
That’s how these idiots have explained IRS. They fail to grasp that the antivirals are suppressing the immune system even further, causing AIDS symptoms.
Dorian has managed to gain energy, as ren predicted. Dorian is now back to a weak Cat 3. He’s following the Gulf Stream, taking advantage of the warm surface waters. Since yesterday, he has turned 40° to the east, which will reduce damage to coast.
