“Visualizing the entire 2010 Atlantic hurricane season in one image“. Anthony Watts copy and pastes a NOAA visualization of all of 2010’s North Atlantic hurricanes to feed his reader’s need to complain about them durn scientists. And Al Gore.
The hurricane visualization Al Gore should have used?
“Norway’s coldest November in living memory“. Yawn. Anthony Watts reports that it’s cold in Norway in the winter. Thus disproving Global Warming? Of course!
Weather is not climate. Regional events are not a disproof of global conditions. Repeat 100 times.
“NOAA’s End Game on the 2010 Hurricane Season“. Gee, Anthony Watts’ use of the phrase “end game” suggests that NOAA’s failing at hurricane prediction. Them dumb scientists don’t know nuthin’!
Or we can struggle all the way past the NOAA article title and read the subtitle: NOAA’s Prediction for Active Season Realized; Slow Eastern Pacific Season Sets Record. Exhausting, huh?

What does increased hurricane activity reflect? Warmer oceans.
The UK Met Office “Winter Forecast” – fail or faux? Well what a surprise, Anthony Watts is yapping about how cold weather in the UK is prove that climate predictions are wrong. Same old bunk.
You know that weather isn’t climate, don’t you Anthony? I guess it’s just too easy of source of groundless complaining.
“Nicole lasts all of 6-hours as a named tropical storm“. Tropical storm Nicole peters out after six hours, so Anthony Watts sniffs that the climate scientist conspiracy is giving names to smaller storms so they can inflate the numbers and trick the denialists into surrendering.
Of course since this tropical storm is the only evidence of AGW, at least for the purposes of this denialist talking point, it’s decline is the final nail in the coffin of global warming.
“Klotzbach and Gray: two week hurricane forecast“. Ric Werme tells us that atmospheric scientists Klotzbach and Gray expect a late-season blip in accumulated cyclone (aka hurricanes) energy in their Colorado State University Forecast of Atlantic Hurricane Activity but that denialist weatherman Joe Bastardi says, in The Reason for the Season and Why I Wasn’t Teasin’, that the worst is still to come.

Who to believe? Wait, this is just conflicting weather predictions, right? How come Anthony isn’t reporting the weather in my city? I feel left out. Suddenly I understand how Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. feels!
Los Angeles laughs at recent “invisible summer” AP article. With the return of Fall in the northern hemisphere we also see Anthony Watts return to brainless anecdotes about cold weather somewhere. And, of course, reflexive complaints about particular weather stations.
Los Angeles had a cold summer, but now it’s having a heat wave. Perfectly normal, right Anthony?
“Oh no! Greenland glacier calves island 4 times the size of Manhattan“. Anthony Watts returns to a favorite dishonest pastime – mocking environmental reports. The Petermann Glacier in Greenland has calved an “ice island” four times the size of Manhattan into the Nares Strait.

The last time something similar happened was in 1962. If something has ever happened before it can’t be happening now because of Global Warming. Is that the message Anthony? After all, there were no SUV’s back then, right?
“Global Sea Surface Temperature Cooling Continues“. Dr. Roy Spencer lets us know that the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) as recorded by NASA’s Aqua satellite is continuing to fall. It’s been falling for months! That’s a trend! Not.
Yes, the well-known El Niño/La Niña circulation pattern in the tropical east Pacific Ocean has entered a phase that brings colder water to the surface. No, the oceans are not cooling now.

“July average maxima in San Francisco coolest since 1971“. Anthony Watts returns to the idiotic “it’s cool somewhere, so Global Warming is wrong” theme.
Weather is not climate, is it Anthony? Nor is July the same as a 30-year time span, or San Francisco a good representation of the Earth.
But keep flapping your gums.
Wott's Up With That?
