GisTemp up-tweaking started around 2003 during Hansen era

Global Warming arch-architect James Hansen implemented a policy of deliberate up-tweaking to satisfy his government paymaster's desire to hype the global warming crisis.

Remember Hansen was the guy who testified in front of Congress in a room with the air conditioning switched off for added effect to scare the masses about 'atmospheric heat build-up'.

By the time current NASA GISS director Gavin Schmidt took over from Hansen a couple years ago the up-tweaking had well and truly begun.

I took the Gistemp data and overlayed the UAH v6 data and produced this graph:

Then I took the GISS data and subtracted the UAH v6 data and made this graph:

Blog format upgraded

I'm by no means an IT expert, but I like to tinker with html code now and then, and after years of tweaking I have finally upgraded this blog to a format I'm happy with.

I only just figured out how to truncate the posts on the home page to an excerpt and a link to more.

I thought the white background was too bright so I made it grey.

The main feature is a navigation bar at the top of the page I pilfered from some site.

Blogspot is the best and most tweakable free blog platform of the few I have tried, including wordpress.com.

Brazilian deforestation proceeds apace: creates 'dreaded' CO2

One of the assumptions of AGW theory is that human direct emissions from fossil fuel combustion causes the atmospheric CO2 rise.

But sceptics needn't be bound by such convention and are free to consider other possibilities.

Wishful trendline on Tamino wildfire graph?

Stats guru Tamino is like the bizarro superman, the anti-hero, of the statistics world, using his statistical powers to mislead his readers rather than inform. In a 2 1/2 year old post, he attempts to debunk a Washington Post article.

He graphs US wildland fire acreage and adds a curiously extreme red trendline. It would be nice to know if that red line was algorithm generated or custom-manipulated.

Manufacturing sea level rise acceleration

It's claimed that both increased land ice melt and ocean heat uptake are occurring. Melting land ice is supposedly on the increase, and the missing heat of the global warming pause is supposedly going into the ocean.

If the missing heat was miraculously going into the deep ocean it would cause thermal expansion, but this expansion is not observed [1, 2, 3].

No relation between water vapour and Outgoing Longwave Radiation

This post is a stub -- something I mean to make better at some point. E.g. get vapour & temp data maps for same time frame.
=============
No Greenhouse Effect evident comparing so-called number one greenhouse gas water vapour map to map of outgoing longwave radiation. As a "trapper of heat" water vapour really sucks.

A few maps of water vapour (google search):

Tom Nelson & Steve Goddard suspension, a reminder Twitter's part of the Establishment

Twitter, like Facebook, is a part of the establishment. When Steve Goddard & Tom Nelson's climate questions got too hot under the collar they were suspended.

Goddard's account was reinstated after an outcry. But Goddard's suspension lasted only about twelve hours from my observation; Tom Nelson's (@tan123) has been suspended for 2 days now.

Why would William McDonald defend Nazca desecration?

Greenpeace has desecrated a sacred archaeological site in Peru in recent days as part of an AGW-related protest. The result of their renewable-energy-advocating sign unfurling can be seen in the red dotted line here:

1000's of years ago people decided, as part of their religious observations, to make a picture of a hummingbird, and took the time to walk only in very precise lines, so that the images -- formed from lighter coloured clay being brought to the surface by the trampling -- could be preserved and viewed by the gods.

AGW is already falsified

The global atmospheric warming pause, going on 18 years now, together with the lack of sea level rise acceleration, has already falsified the AGW hypothesis.

There are dozens of explanations

"The Conversation" claim contradicted by BoM press release

In a Conversation article about Jennifer Marohasy's claim of temp fudging at Australia's Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) (1,2,3) authors Lisa Alexander and Andy Pitman claim that BoM's homogenisation adjustments are to reduce the extremes of Australia's temperature trend. 

 

Exactly what "reduce the extreme temp trends" means is not 100% clear, but I assume it means that the slight increase in temp from 1910 to 2014 is lessened post-homogenisation.

Cooling is natural; warming is AGW

Those familiar with AGW theory will know that since industrial times, all warming is caused by CO2, while all cooling is natural. There's a paper to that effect described on WattUpWithThat explaining that the current pause in warming is, of course, all natural and merely masks the AGW warming that would otherwise occur.

Climate Institute's curious 2014 online survey

 

The Climate Institute of Australia's new glossy brochure is based on an online survey of 1,145 Australians. These 1,145 participants were selected by invitation by email and/or by selecting the survey from a list provided (and tailored) on the user's home page (example below). 

An AGW believer's clumsy attempt to mislead

An AGW believer made a deceptive, outdated post on the Ron Paul forum (here) and has linked to it on a recent comment here, on Harold Ambler's recent post:
