Katharine’s Imaginary Hurricanes JULY 6, 2017 By Paul Homewood Another gem from Katharine! If you look at the Southeast, they are very vulnerable along the coastline to hurricanes and storms……. So the latest projections are not for any more frequent hurricanes but for stronger hurricanes theguardian.com In fact the US has now gone 11 years without a major hurricane, the longest period on record. Worldwide there has been no increase in major hurricane landfalls either. notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com Does Katharine Hayhoe actually know what she is talking about? TinyCO2 PERMALINK July 6, 2017 11:14 am My prediction is that the next scare will be – AGW causes less hurricanes, thus depriving the natural cooling the oceans need to avoid mass oceanic extinctions. Alternatively it will reduce ocean/air mixing, which will cause anoxia and mass oceanic extinctions. Or both. Tipping points will be mentioned. [ He makes a good point. That could be the way they go. Frame hurricanes as a good thing ... nature's way of transferring ocean warming into the upper atmosphere and eventually into space ... which is sort of valid. Without as many severe hurricanes, they can claim the oceans will overheat, fish will die, coral bleach, lobsters boil in the ocean ... whatever. And always, we will be near a tipping point .. usually around the time of the next important election. The crap warmists sling is so transparent. ] notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com

China Met Office Confirms Global Warming Hiatus charles the moderator / 15 hours ago July 5, 2017 From The GWPF Dr David Whitehouse, GWPF Science Editor The China Meteorological Administration (CMA) has recently developed a new global monthly land-surface air temperature data set called CMA GLSAT. Using it researchers from the administration reanalysed the change in global annual mean land-surface air temperature during three time periods (1901–2014, 1979–2014 and 1998–2014) to see if there was any evidence of a hiatus or pause in recent surface global warming.The CMA GLSAT-v1.0 data has its sources in the three original global data sets (CRUTEM4, GHCN-V3 and BEST), eight national data sets (Canada national climate and weather data archive, Australia high-quality climate change data set, United States Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) data set, Korean exchange data set, Vietnam exchange data set, and the data sets of the CMA, Russian Meteorological Agency and Japan Meteorological Agency), and four regional data sets (South American regional data set, Africa regional data set, European regional data set, and Antarctic climate data) In preparing the new database Xiubao Sun and colleagues from the CMA say they addressed a number of problems with other surface temperature databases, in particular the relatively poor coverage of stations across Antarctica, Africa, South America, and Asia. They note that the IPCC AR5 report concluded that the warming trends in these regions are associated with a lower confidence level. They also improved the absence of early period stations, especially before 1940. The researchers find very clear evidence for the recent warming hiatus. Their results show linear trends of 0.104 °C per decade, 0.247 °C per decade and 0.098 °C per decade for the three periods, respectively. The trends were statistically significant except for the period 1998–2014, the period that is also known as the ‘‘warming hiatus”. Table 1: Sun et al. 2017 The annual mean surface temperature anomaly time series for both hemispheres and the globe over the period 1901–2014 are shown in their Fig 1. The linear trends of annual mean surface temperature for SH, NH and the globe were 0.088 °C per decade, 0.115 °C per decade and 0.104 °C per decade, respectively, all statistically significant at the 5% confidence level. Much of the hemispheric and global warming occurred in two distinct periods, from the 1910s to the late 1930s and from the early 1980s to the mid-2000s. The relatively cool periods or stable periods appeared in the 1900s, 1940s–1970s and between 2005 and 2014. Read the rest of the article here. thegwpf.com wattsupwiththat.com
