The drought in California is making the news. I’m sure it will be blamed on “Global Warming.
I came across an article by Roger Pielke Sr. from 2012 that reminds us that when the PDO is cool (which it is) and the AMO is warm (which it is) drought in California is going to happen.
Mangled Wind Turbine mercilessly attacked by cold or wind or shoddy construction or all three.
“Whenever we came out, we noticed this big mound up there. Then we noticed one of the windmills was missing,” Steyer said.”

A couple of days ago I did a post about December 2013 being the 21st coldest in USA history.
Do you want to know what real global warming looks like?
12 degrees Fahrenheit increase from 1909 to 1939.
“Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury published in 1953. It is regarded as one of his best works. The novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed and “firemen” burn any that are found.”
JoAnne Nova has an important story about a journal being shutdown just because it had the temerity to publish a paper questioning the IPCC conclusions.
“… the special issue editors ultimately submitted their conclusions in which they “doubt the continued, even accelerated, warming as claimed by the IPCC project” “
“We at Copernicus Publications wish to distance ourselves from the apparent misuse of the originally agreed aims & scope of the journal and decided on 17 January 2014 to cease the publication of PRP”
When someone brings up the old 6,000 papers all agree or 97% agree that global warming is real, just point back the Joanne Nova post. Because keeping “sceptics papers” out of the literature has been the modus operandi of the AGW cult for a long, long time.
The 3rd daily record for Antarctic Sea Ice Extent in 2014 was set yesterday on Jan 17 (Day 17). The old record was from 2008.

The 1st daily record for Antarctic Sea Ice Extent in 2014 was set yesterday on day 15. The old record was from 2008.
The old record was broken by 26,500 sq km.

According to the NOAA, December 2013 was only the 21st warmest out of 119. That means 98 Decembers (out of 119) were warmer.
The 5 warmest Decembers were 1939, 1957, 1933, 1941 and 1946.
OMG. 2.04°F Below Normal. We are all going to freeze to death if this keeps happening.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent on day 14 was only 9370 sq km below the record set in 2008.
Currently extent is 1.47 million sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Thats 28% higher.
Extent is also more than TWO Standard Deviations above the mean. And has been since Dec 26th. 190 days in 2013 were over TWO standard deviations above the mean.

“Ottawa’s Wild Bird Care Centre has put the call out for incandescent light bulbs, which it uses to provide warmth for injured and recovering birds, after the federal government banned manufacturers from making the bulbs.
In Canada, the more energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs are considered the norm. The incandescent light bulbs use more power, but they are also warmer and serve an important role inside incubators.
“As the light bulb is on, it will obviously warm things up and then the setting will turn it off to keep the right temperature,” explained Mireille Goguen, who works at the centre.”
SAVE THE BABY BIRDS!!!
