Warmcold Strikes Again!!!! Lack of Ice Blamed For Snow And Cold! Climate Math On Display!!!! 15 is 20% of 16!!!!

Good Heavens these lunatics don’t care how insipidly stupid they sound.  They simply change their tune depending upon what is currently happening and disregard their previous idiocy.

Currently, much of the northern hemisphere is suffering from unusually cold weather.  Climate-phrenologists, instead of admitting that they are clueless as to why this is happening invent wild speculative theories in order to blame the weather on global warming.  From the Guardian…. (of course)

Scientists link frozen spring to dramatic Arctic sea ice loss

Climate scientists have linked the massive snowstorms and bitter spring weather now being experienced across Britain and large parts of Europe and North America to the dramatic loss of Arctic sea ice.

Yeh?  So, lack of Arctic sea ice causes the snow and cold?  Let’s look at the ice this year.  Now, there were examples of isolated extreme weather events prior to the cold spring which is gripping much of the northern hemisphere, but, as I said, they were isolated.

So, the lack of ice, which we have more of now than a couple of months ago, is causing the cold and snow which we didn’t have a couple of months ago.  It all makes perfectly good sense. 

It must be a brand new phenomena.  The warming spring of 2011 in Europe was blamed on….. global warming.

Meanwhile, continental Europe had an unusually warm spring and autumn in 2011. This was partly the result of westerly winds bringing warm air from the tropics, but these circulation patterns cannot explain all the heat. “It wouldn’t have been that unusual without the long-term warming,” says Stott.

They must have had lots more ice two years ago.  What else can we glean from past comments?

“Higher spring and summer temperatures, along with an earlier spring melt, are also the primary factors driving the increasing frequency of large wildfires and lengthening the fires season in the Western U.S. over recent decades,” they summarize. “The record-breaking fires this year in the Southwest and Rocky Mountain region are consistent with these trends.”

Oddly enough, we finished the year with a near record low of the amount of fires we had last year.  Still, we must have had lots of sea ice last year to have a warm spring with an early melt!!!

Both the extent and the volume of the sea ice that forms and melts each year in the Arctic Ocean fell to an historic low last autumn, and satellite records published on Monday by the National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado, show the ice extent is close to the minimum recorded for this time of year.

Hmm, the NSIDC…. now where have I heard of that outfit before…… hmm.    Oh, yeh!  That was the same outfit that thought ice was melting in below 0 deg C temps!  No, no.  There’s no need to question their scientific prowess just because they don’t know the melting temperature of H2O, is there?  Let’s go ask some other climate scientists just in case.  Oh, look there’s one from Rutgers now!!!

“The sea ice is going rapidly. It’s 80% less than it was just 30 years ago. There has been a dramatic loss. This is a symptom of global warming and it contributes to enhanced warming of the Arctic,” said Jennifer Francis, research professor with the Rutgers Institute of Coastal and Marine Science.

Wow!!!!  80% less than 30 years ago!!!       I had no idea!!!!  That’s a huge decline!!!!  But, in the off chance our new friend, Jennifer Francis a research professor with the Rutgers Institute of Coastal and Marine Science, may be related to the mental giants at NSIDC, we should check the numbers. 

Yesterday, satellite measurements say our extent is at 14.84049 million sq km.  Wow, the sea ice must have been……  calculating ….. gusintas …… carry the zero…..  hmm….. seems it was about 74 million sq km 30 years ago.  Let me check again…..  the ice extent measurement for Mar 26, 1983 was 15.92286 million sq km.  Well, it looks like Jennifer Francis is now qualified to work for the government at NSIDC.  That’s about a 7% reduction in ice for this time of year. 

Last March, the UnChristian Unscience Monitor monitor said this……

A recent study by the Brookings Institution shows that unusually warm winter weather has made climate-change converts out of many Americans. Unseasonable temperatures are continuing with warm spring weather in much of the United States. In Washington DC, which just recorded its warmest winter, the famed cherry blossoms have opened two weeks early.

Maybe the US was hogging all of the sea ice which surely must have been present last spring because lack of sea ice causes cold and snow!!  The UnChristian Unscience Monitor also had this to say……

Warm spring weather can help convince Americans that global warming is happening and a problem. But scientists must change the way they talk about this subject. They must leave their ivory towers and learn to speak about climate change in a language that people understand.

They could start by familiarizing themselves with some very basic science and math skills.  They might even wish to try a bit of honesty to go along with it.
