Great Lakes Ice Cover nearing an All Time Record

Frosty now posts weather reports with a nom de plume.

NOT Climate news, but local weather. In past threads, she negleccted to post about the heat wave in Alaska in January, droughts and heat waves in Australia, etc..

The term for tin foil hat deniers posting weather reports is: Snow Troll.

Snow Trolling occurred in these previous threads, where the Snow Troll completely ignores reason and fact, disappears when asked to defend ridiculous claims, then reappears a couple days later to post more weather reports.

But of course once the AGW scientists make their data adjustments March could prove to be quite balmy indeed!

Poor Brian, completely unable to tell the differnce between indiviual wwather events and global climate.

So sad.

Maybe his 3rd grader will lend him a dictionary.

Brian - what do you think of this?

Or we can let Brian wait for the next cold spell somewhere.

Talk to your third grader, Brian, she will give you a homework assignment - reading a dictionary!

Stop feeding the troll

A study published by the science journal "Remote Sensing" highlights NASA satellite data which shows that the atmosphere has been shedding heat long before United Nations computer models predicted. And the study indicates that far less future global warming will occur than global warming zealots have claimed.

In Forbes’ analysis ”New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism,” author James Taylor shows that the study really does blow a gaping hole in alarmists’ theories.

“When objective NASA satellite data, reported in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, show a ‘huge discrepancy’ between alarmist climate models and real-world facts, climate scientists, the media and our elected officials would be wise to take notice. Whether or not they do so will tell us a great deal about how honest the purveyors of global warming alarmism truly are,” wrote Taylor.

Denier James Taylor is funded by Heartland, which is funded by the Koch Brothers and Exxon, along with the coal industry to make garbage up so they can continue making billions as we burn more coal and oil.

His "study" is a joke.

Note that BRIAN calls him an author, not a climatologist or even a scientist.

James Taylor has NEVER published a paper in a peer reviewed journal.

Why? James Taylor is A LAWYER FUNDED BY THE KOCH BROTHERS via their Heartland front group.


One typical "study" has a disclaimer like this: "To address this, we reconstruct the frames of one group of experts who have not received much attention in previous research and yet play a central role in understanding industry responses – professional experts in petroleum and related industries." Yeah, let's poll the oil industry and call it FACT! What a bunch of bozos.

His favorite idiocy? "Without a doubt, the warming of the past 100 years has been a welcome respite from a long and deadly Little Ice Age. The possibility that humans may have contributed to the recent warming does not make it any less welcome."

wtf? What a moron! Let's warm the planet and raise the sea levels!!

Brian: why don't you address the points made by the other poster?

I first liked the name "snow troll" for deniers. Fits the fools who post denier lies well, except it makes them seem fuzzy and cute, when they are in fact either disturbed, uneducated or liars.

James Taylor is fo' sure a climate expert!!!!!!!

Look at his credentials - "I've seen fire, and I've seen rain...."

with apologies to Mr Taylor

There is a OLD DENIER, he lives on the FRINGE.
His FANTASY and RIGHT WING WEBSITE are his only companions.
He works in FALSEHOODS and he sleeps in the FOX ECHO CHAMBER, waiting for EXXON LIES, his pastures to change.
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire, thinking about COAL SMOKESTACKS and glasses of beer.

And closing his eyes as the GLACIERS MELT, he POSTS out a FABLE which is soft but it's clear, as if maybe someone UNDERWATER could hear...

Goodnight you to BEACH FRONT COMMUNITIES, ARISE OH SEA LEVELS and sink sweet baby James.

The globe warms and cools on a historic 1,500 year cycle. Of course we only have 4,500 years of documented history to go on. Man made global warming? With a span of about 8 degrees man may contribute an additional .05 degree to that. We won’t burn and become hell that’s for sure. And NOT worth trillions of dollars in expense. So much more to say, read the science for your selves not the politics

"We won't burn and become hell that's for sure."

Rising sea levels with hundreds of millions of refuges?

Look at what Sandy did to NYC, and add on a rising sea level to that! What will the cost be to the Bay Area with a rising sea? California?

Ask Central Valley farmers (look at todays SF Chronicle) about drought, and the thought of changing climate.

Profitably switching to green, renewable sources of energy is working for Germany (over a million homes under solar panels.) Communist China has made far bigger investments in solar than the US.

We're America - we can do better than Germany and China.

I agree with the above, and Brians statement - "read the science for your selves not the politics" Tun off the Faux News network.

Obama has sunk Billions into green energy which produces less than 1% of our total renewable energy, primarily wind and solar. If Congress had any sense it would mandate that for each $1 allocated to renewable energy sources it would mandate an equal allocation to both nuclear energy and research towards reducing carbon dioxide emissions from coal fired plants.

Coal produces 40% of our country's energy. Yes there is a problem with pollutants and our Government should be spending billion for scientific research to reduce the pollution of coal fired energy plants.

That is what really makes sense.

No such thing as Clean Coal.... its a marketing department fantasy. Look at the air in Beijing.

Coal also polluted that West Virginia river that is the drinking water for 300,3000 people.

Have to invest in renewables.

Fortunately, the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Fossil Energy is doing some research on capturing pollutants from coal burning power plants

Web Link

The problem is that only 9.3 of all electricity produced in this country comes from renewable sources and of that 9.3% only 1.4% comes from wind and only .19% comes from solar.

Meanwhile coal is producing over 40% of all electricity in the U.S. That is more than 25 times more electricity production than wind and solar combined!

The answer is that we need to continue to fund research in wind and solar so that they can produce greater percentages of electricity; but we also need to ramp up research spending on capturing pollutants from coal powered electricity plants.

I sincerely hope that the day will come when we produce all our electricity from non polluting renewable energy sources but in the meantime we also need to concentrate on making coal burning power plants cleaner.
