For those waiting, I finally unveiled my new book title on the WCRF Morning Program with Mark Zimmerman. To listen to the interview, click the arrow play key on the audio player below.

Forecast: No End in Sight to AGW Excuses
You can’t make this stuff up. The climate change “authority” has published several articles on how global warming is resulting in an increase in Southern Hemisphere ice, while the northern ice cap is supposedly set to disappear by 2050 — even as global sea ice is back above normal. I do not believe it’s a coincidence that the articles are being released as the Northern Hemisphere fights its way out of what seems to be a never ending winter in some places. Here in the States, the plains are having the opposite weather of last spring, with record cold and snow so late in the season. Last spring was touted as an example of global warming with the record warm March here in the US, even though the globe was .106C below normal!

The article is one of those jewels that you want to file in the SAVE folder for your students who are in need of GOOD science to refute the junk science that is allowed to propagate in far too many public classrooms.

Comet Of The Century?
NASA’s iconic Hubble Space Telescope has snapped stunning new photos of Comet ISON, which could become one of the brightest comets ever seen when it zips through the inner solar system this fall.
Hubble captured the new photos on April 10, when Comet ISON was slightly closer than Jupiter. At the time the icy wanderer was about 386 million miles (621 million kilometers) from the sun and 394 million miles (634 million km) from Earth.
The new images are already helping astronomers take a bead on the mysterious Comet ISON, which may shine as brightly as the full moon when it makes its closest pass by the sun in late November. (The comet poses no threat to Earth, NASA has said.) [Photos of Comet ISON in Night Sky]

How Quickly We Forget
I did a little digging through the archives this morning and found something interesting. We certainly all remember just how wonderful last March was. Record warmth throughout all of the eastern United States. For Ohio, it meant a number of new record high temperatures including four days on which the afternoon highs went well up into the 80s°F!
But do you remember what happened in April?
Our weather memories are very selective (including a meteorologists!). I thought I remembered a warmer than normal April, too. Wasn’t it?
The chart below shows otherwise. In fact, we were a little cooler than normal for most of the month after our several week, record-setting warmth in March.
If that can happen for just the previous year, imagine how skewed our selective weather memories are from our childhood. Most remember the huge snowstorms and constantly cold winters “that we used to get.” Thank goodness for archived weather data. Those huge childhood snowstorms stick in our memories because they were memorable. The archived data shows that, like in recent winters, we had plenty of quiet, forgettable periods during our childhood years too. And guess what? We forget them quickly because they were unmemorable.
The data also shows that we had plenty of memorable winters even since I have been at WJW-TV (since 1988). SIX of the top ten snowiest winters ON RECORD have occurred since I have been on staff at channel 8!
Yes, how quickly we forget… and that is exactly what proponents of anthropic (human-induced) runaway global warming are counting on.
Thank goodness for archived weather data.

Can’t Have It Both Ways
WeatherBell, Inc. meteorologist Joe Bastardi wrote a thoughtful article that appeared in The Patriot Post recently:
“In the Woody Allen comedy classic, “Bananas,” there is a scene where the CIA is sending US troops to fight on both sides of a revolution because they’re afraid of being on the wrong side.
While many of us laughed at such things then because of the absurdity of it, we find that the same kind of strategy is being used by AGW propagandists that seek to claim every idea they have as the correct one.”
