The preliminary reports about CO2 in 2013 are coming out. China wins! China is now so far out in front that no country will ever catch them.
China has quadrupled CO2 output since 1990, while the USA output is now back to 1990 levels.
It discredits the CO2 theory of global warming doesn’t it?
This dataset only has 30 days of data. I leave out the NH total otherwise the all of the other lines would look kind of flat.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1.5 million sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. Thats almost 15% higher.
The mean for the day is 10.25 million sq km and the most recent day’s data is 11.78 million sq km.
After a few days of being in 3rd place Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is now back in 2nd place.
Apologies. Global Sea Ice is actually 5th highest. Not 3rd as I wrote. Back from a trip. Brain rusty.I misread. Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 3rd. Global is not 3rd. It is 5th.
As of Dec 16 2013, Global Sea Ice is the 5th highest for the day, and above the 1981-2010 mean by 900,000 sq km.
According to the NOAA November 2013 was 49th warmest out of 119. The following 70 Novembers were warmer:
1899,1900,1901,1902,1904,1905,1908,1909,1912,1913,1914,1915,1917,1921,1922,1923,1924,1927,1928
and 1931,1933,1934,1939,1941,1942,1944,1945,1946,1948,1949,1953,1954,1958,1960,1962,1963,1964,1965,1966,1967,1969
and 1971,1973,1974,1975,1977,1980,1981,1983,1984,1987,1988,1989,1990,1994,1995,1998,1999,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012
Only 4 states were “Above Normal”. Tennessee, for example, was over 3F below the 1901-2000 average and was 15th warmest out of 119.
Day 342 and 343 (Dec 8th/9th) were daily records for Antarctic Sea Ice Extent. That makes them the 106th and 107th records for 2013.
2008 still leads with 122 daily records. 2013 does have 244 1st and 2nd place finishes for in front of 2008 with 160 1st and 2nds.
2013 will probably only set 2 or 3 more records before the records set in 2007 prevent any more.
The USCRN is the US Climate Research Network. I had not looked at the data in a little while. So I was confused by the state code of SA.
Well, it turned out that the NOAA has added a station in Tiksi, Russia. Which has been warming (Tmax) at 225F/century over the last 3 Octobers.
The USCRN has no stations in Connecticut or Delaware or New Jersey, but it now has one in Russia. Bizarre.
Anyway, the data is not that old, but here is the USCRN Tmax, Tmean and Tmin trends for October for most of the states in the USA and Tiksi.

Slaughtering Eagles will soon be legal thanks to Obama.
This is Shameful.
“The Obama administration is about to approve a rule that will ensure the death of golden and bald eagles for the next 30 more years.
Hundreds of thousands of birds die each year flying into the deadly turbine blades atop the soaring towers that compose wind farms.
The rule will give wind farms thirty year permits for the “non purposeful take of eagles-that is where the take is associated with but
not the purpose of, the activity.’’ The take of eagles is also a euphemism for the slaughter of them.”

The AMO is definitely linked with climate cycles. Below are two graphs of each month of the AMO. One is from 2004. The other from 1856.
I think the AMO has peaked, but it is still wobbling around at the top of the peak and may continue to do so for several years.
Thw winter months definitely show an alternating saw-tooth pattern going down. If the pattern holds Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb should show a big drop.
But Oct stayed flat when it should have dropped. Who knows.
Did You Know Some Natural Gas Wells are 90% CO2? The IPCC and AGW try and tell us natural sources of CO2 (such as from volcanoes) are so small.
How hard do you think they are trying to detect large underground/undersea CO2 sources? Not very hard.
9 million cubic feet a day flow from that well, and 90% was CO2.
