Met Office ends season forecasts – no more “BBQ summers”. Anthony Watts points to a BBC report that the British Met Office will stop producing “seasonal” forecasts.
He wants his readers to think that difficulties with detailed long-range forecasts mean that climate predictions are impossible. Apples and oranges Anthony, apple and oranges.
“Baltic sea ice traps ships“. Ice exists, thus disproving man-made global warming. That’s Anthony Watts’ frequent refrain. Whatever.
Anthony also mentions Richard North’s post on the event, which cosily refers back to Anthony’s posts. It’s a pretty tight orbit in the denialosphere…
“NSIDC Confirms WUWT Ice Forecast” Anthony Watts teams up with the numerically challenged Steven Goddard to claim vindication for their “everything will be fine” prediction for Arctic sea ice extend in 2010. Why do these two keep pushing idiotically short, statistically meaningless trends? Maybe it’s because they’re unqualified partisans hunting for something to justify their biases.
2010 doesn't look like a "recovery" to me, Anthony!
“2001-2010 was the Snowiest Decade on Record“. Steven Goddard’s “guest posts” on Anthony Watt’s blog are getting embarrassing. He’s still going on about how much snow there is! He even accuses Al Gore of ineptitude. Now that’s rich… Steven, you’ve got issues. Big issues. Emotional issues as well as intellectual ones.
Steven’s data comes from the Rutgers University Global Snow Lab. The closest he comes to explaining his climate change claims is this: A decade long record across the entire Northern Hemisphere is not appropriately described as a “snowstorm.” Actually, unless Steven can slap some legitimate statistical trends on this claim it’s just as likely a “snowstorm.” He once again has bupkis. Looks like Steven’s going to have the bupkis market locked down pretty tight.
Steven's yellow line has no meaning, it's just a visual "trick" to create the illusion of an anomaly.
Ignoring the regionality of his claim, his invented threshold of 45 million km² snow extend, and the lack of any evidence of statistical significance, how does any of this undermine the factual evidence of AGW? You know the answer.
“A tornado free February – first time ever!” Anthony Watts talks about weather again. There were no tornadoes in the USA in February. Take that, Al Gore!
To quote the NOAA article, “What does this tell us about the rest of the 2010 tornado season? Somewhere between a little and nothing at all.” Actually, that sounds like a pretty good summary of Anthony’s blog.
“Spring, sprang, sprung“. More pointless yammering about coverage of weather in newspapers from Anthony Watts and Richard North.
Northern Hemisphere Snow Extent Second Highest on Record. Steven Goddard’s guest post gives us another lesson on how to misrepresent trends, fail statistics and how to look stupid shouting about weather as proof that there is no global warming. I’m tired, so I’ll just point you to Open Mind for Tamino’s utter demolition of Steve’s latest garbage.
Global Warming in Texas is yet another pointless “weather!” guest post by the tunnel-visioned Steven Goddard. How many pixels had to die for this nonsense?
Wott's Up With That?
