Right, because it's not like it's critically important for an airport to have accurate measurements of temperature. :roll: I did. And 600 miles due south of Cambridge bay is the Northwest Territories border with Saskatchewan. The closest weather station to that spot is Uranium City, where the...

0°C in Cambridge Bay? Not according to Environment Canada:

Two more records. This melt season now has record minimums in 8 different data sets. NSIDC Arctic Sea Ice Extent: ROOS Arctic Sea Ice Extent:

More records this week. The three new record minimums makes 6 now in total, with another few weeks of the melt season left before the average calendar date of the yearly Arctic minimum. DMI Arctic Sea Ice Extent: Cryosphere Today Arctic Basin Sea Ice Area: IJIS Arctic Sea Ice Extent: I...

As always, the devil is in the details. PDO alone doesn't do a very good job of explaining North American drought. In fact, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation explains more variation than the PDO. When scientists look at the principle components (PC) of North American drought, they find the...

"What can be said about the short term trend in Arctic sea ice is that for the past two years, it has recovered from the historic low of 2007. It recovered in 2008, and more in 2009. If today’s Earth Day gift is any indication, it appears that it is on track now for a third year of recovery...

No, liquid water expands when it's heated, except for some weird effects at low temperatures (0°C to 4°C). Not sure what you're referring to there. Part of sea level rise owes to thermal expansion of the oceans.

Yes, it's still early yet. Until the next record, and the one after that, and the one after that, and so on.

Records set already this year, with more yet to come: University of Bremen Arctic Sea Ice Extent: Arctic ROOS Sea Ice Area: Cryosphere Today Arctic Sea Ice Area:

Sure, but building up instead of out means more arable land. The same area of farm land will be more productive than the scattered roof-tops of a sub-division.

No, I get what you're saying. The point I was trying to make, though probably not very well, is that just like you say, urban records have higher development and they definitely will be biased to the warmer due to the amplification of heat. One of the adjustments NOAA makes is to use those...

That's a bit of a stretch though, to attribute late records to human development. You'll notice that Spencer never mentioned what kind of homogenization the NOAA data uses. NOAA uses satellite images of brightness at night, amongst other tools to differentiate areas of high development, and...

Question, is it easier to set records earlier in a record than later in a record? To put it another way, would you expect a record to have more weight in a small sample, or a large sample? :lol: There is a reason that it is better to look at the distribution of events, and to normalize by the...

How about some animal adaptation? Salmon in Norway are staying out to sea longer. Researchers in Norway looked at returns on 59 rivers with Atlantic salmon populations, and found that increased seawater temperatures, and increased river discharge is leading to a reduction in the proportion of...

We're already transitioning into El Nino. The ENSO index has been positive since March/April:

It's just more throw spaghetti at the wall. This is a familar dance. They recycle zombie talking points that just won't die, because as Loc already said, their mind is already made up.

Makes one wonder why the difference between satellite and thermometer is so small then... The trends are statistically the same...

This is the kind of content that regularly makes it passed those "skeptics" at Watts Up With That: Editorial: ‘Hansen is simply wrong’ and ‘his hypothesis is a complete and abject failure’ | Watts Up With That? Anthony posts an email from skeptic for hire Pat Michaels, in which Michaels claims...

:lol: Do as I say, not as I do.

And treating serious responses with the "you mad" variety of response is supposed to make me feel like I should converse with you like an adult? It's no skin off my back how you want to take my posts, but don't whine when someone flips your juvenile meme back at you. If you have nothing else...
