First week of Spring in the USA
Anyone see how many cold records the US had in the first week of Spring? I don’t know if there are records for setting records, but this is up there.

Introducing the Marcott 9
While it took me a while to get the time together to write an article about the Marcott paper, that does not mean I have not been looking at it and discussing it from nearly the day it was released. There has been lots of discussion within The Right Climate Stuff group that I have been involved in. The ones that lean towards CO2 as something to be concerned about were initially rather excited about this paper, but that has taken a course correction as it has become clear how poor the science is in the Marcott paper.

Misunderstanding of the Global Temperature Anomaly
With two completed months of the year there is starting to be discussion of how 2013 is shaping up for the annual anomaly. Several comments around the web have caught my attention as they demonstrate a basic misunderstanding of how the Earth’s climate is behaving. This is one of those articles that may seem OCD, but this one misunderstanding is what allows warmists to get away with as much as they do when it comes to climate.

-6.35 °C Anomaly
That is the local temperature anomaly for Boise, Idaho for the entire month of January in 2013. It is by far the coldest month I have experienced since the early 1990′s and that was in a different place that was much, much colder than the January I just experienced. Of course a low anomaly doesn’t [...]

The Right Climate Stuff
When I attended the conference back in May, I met several members of The Right Climate Stuff. In the course of the conference there was a fair amount of discussion and I gave them several copies of my book so they could take a look at what I have put together. To me it was interesting because they were asking the same type of questions that I had been asking myself several years ago when I started to get involved in the science of the Earth’s climate.

2012 Global Temperature Update
Hot weather has been much in the news of late. This is especially true in the United States where there have been some real scorchers in the past month. Needless to say that when the temperature is high, so is the news about global warming. I will be the first to admit that there has been less of it than I expected, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been an avalanche of news about how this summer is what global warming looks like.

Regional Analysis of 2011. Part 2
In part 1 I focused on the temperature of the Boise area. In the year 2011 the average temperature was 0.07 °C below average, or it had a temperature anomaly of -0.07 °C. That is a meaninglessly small deviation from the average temperature. That most years are so close to average is an important clue to how stable the Earth’s climate really is. Any reader will know that I am not a fan of using temperature anomaly as a measure of climate and today I am going to demonstrate why it is a generally a worthless measure of the Earth’s climate.

Regional Analysis of 2011. Part 1.
Now that 2011 is over it is time to start looking closer look at the year. I am going to start off at the regional level. That is the area that I happen to live in. Most places in the world will have experienced a different year climate-wise than the one I did, but the type of analysis that I am going to provide for my region can be done by anyone with enough patience to find, collect and then analyze the data.

December 2011: Regional Update
Why some may wonder about the purpose purpose of the regional updates, there is much that can be learned from a careful and detailed analysis from the data over the course of one year. When 2011 wraps up, I will start to show just how much critical information can be gleaned from this data. Of [...]

2011 Global Temperature and Anomaly
Later today there is going to be a debate at my daughter’s school about Global Warming. She is one of the few students to sign-up for the opposing side of the debate. Since the debate will be taking place at the 8th grade level I am not exactly sure the depth that the debate will cover, but she is getting to take the original “proof” copy of my book to school to use for her debate. I suspect that it is far too much information for her debate, but she will be well prepared. The one other thing I also wanted to prepare her with was some basic information about what is going on with the climate in the year of 2011 with the Earth’s temperature. This was also a topic that I wanted to write about anyway, so the time is right for this article.
