He also provides temperature projections using an astronomical harmonic model developed from the cycles. The model is compared to the GCM models used by the IPCC.

New York Times reported predictions of widespread climate disruption based on the IPCC report. An examination of the IPCC predictions over the past 15 years indicates that the IPCC has complete failure in predicting climate.

The actual data show that it has been increasing since 1978. The annual fluctuations in snowpack are related to the PDO and ENSO. Tue, 24 May 2011 21:26:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011052401 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011052101 Global warming is actually an Arctic phenomenon. The temperature data show a clear cyclical trend - the pattern of the 1930s-40s matches the 1990s-2000s warming. James Hansen claims that the 1930s warming was natural but the recent warming is due to CO2. The Arctic trend matches the AMO.

Although this region has had no warming, alarmists try to blame the tornadoes on global warming. A look at actual data shows a declining trend in the number of strong tornadoes. These correlate with La Nina. Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:51:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011043001 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011041801 Satellite sea level data exist for almost 20 years now. During that time the rate of sea level rise has essentially been constant. Although the rate gives 10 inches of rise to the end of the century, alarmists continue to exaggerate. Mon, 18 Apr 2011 16:14:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011041801 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011041601 The United Nations claimed there would be 50 million climate refugees by 2010. The Red Cross says the number of climate refugees is bigger than due to war and persecution. As usual - examination of the details of the claims exposes the lies of the alarmists. Sat, 16 Apr 2011 21:36:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011041601 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011032701 With US alarmists crying fire, one would think the US has been warming. The actual data shows otherwise. In 1989 NASA said there had been no significant warming, which Hansen said was a statistical fluke. With only abut 15% of the world exhibiting warming, the US is the statistical norm. Sun, 27 Mar 2011 15:05:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011032701 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011032201 Bill McKibben has major outlets at the major left-wing publications and promotes the anthropogenic global warming agenda. He neglects to check the actual data or facts when making his alarmist claims. His recent Guardian article is shown here to be full of, well, Al-Gore-isms (lies). Tue, 22 Mar 2011 15:44:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011032201 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011031801 The major Japan earthquake has re-kindled alarmist claims that global warming causes earthquakes (as usual, contrary to the data). They apparently don't understand continental isostatic rebound or the fact that historical data exist. Greenland ice sheet mass balance is not what they claim. Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:41:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011031801 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011031601 With a record decline in Arctic ozone, apparently now it is global warming causing it - not CFCs. Alarmists say Arctic winters are cooling (contrary to the data) and neglect the data showing connections to ENSO or other factors. The Arctic winter temperatures exhibit the 60-year climate cycle. Wed, 16 Mar 2011 15:16:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011031601 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011031201 The NOAA GHCN and Hadley/CRU CRUTEM3 and HadSST2 data have been updated in the AIS climate data visualizer Data for all of 2010 are now included in the graphing database. A brief comparison of Arctic temperatures through 2010 for GHCN vs CRUTEM3 is also shown.

Congress would like to rein in the EPA by limiting its regulation of CO2. Waxman ignores the fact that his state has had no warming over the last 80 years and Obama thinks CO2 pollutes drinking water. Sat, 05 Mar 2011 21:49:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011030501 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011030201 While alarmists blame the Australian flooding on global warming, NASA and the Australian BOM blame La Nina. Contrary to alarmists' claims, the number of tropical cyclones in Australia has been decreasing during the global warming era, as has flooding in general Wed, 02 Mar 2011 22:32:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011030201 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011030101 Reuters has been promoting global warming alarmism by twisting facts and making false statements. They misrepresent a study of the cost of global warming, sea level changes for Pacific Islands and they mis-portray the discovery of a monkey population as victims of global warming. Tue, 01 Mar 2011 20:13:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011030101 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011021701 NPR says Kiribati is sinking - which contradicts the data and studies that show the islands are growing. NPR says the islanders' faith prevents them from accepting the science of global warming. But it is NPR's faith in global warming that prevents them from reporting the data. Thu, 17 Feb 2011 20:13:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011021701 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011021601 The Arctic Oscillation (AO) exhibited a regime shift in 1988/89 putting it in mainly positive territory for the next two decades (it has more recently dropped to negative bringing cold winters). This is related to solar UV irradiance. Wed, 16 Feb 2011 21:10:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011021601 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011020901 Although many media outlets correctly attributed the January 2011 cold and snow in the Eastern US to the Arctic Oscillation (AO), Al Gore says it's global warming. The AO index decreased through 2010 resulting in a weakened polar vortex and blocking pattern. Wed, 09 Feb 2011 20:02:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011020901 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011011601 Satellite-based global temperature measurements have now been recorded for 30 years (a standard definition of climate is weather averaged over 30 years - so now there is enough satellite data for 1 climate data point). Sun, 16 Jan 2011 21:17:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011011601 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011010201 The UN IPCC misrepresents the climate data and create artificial acceleration by calculating short term linear trends within cyclical data. The UN FAO recognized the cyclical nature and developed fishery prediction models based on the 55-60-year cycle. Sun, 02 Jan 2011 20:22:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2011010201 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2010123101 The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) Climate Choices web site makes claims about the Northeast US having hotter summers, warmer winters, earlier springs. An examination of the actual data indicates their concerns are unwarranted. Fri, 31 Dec 2010 20:27:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2010123101 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2010121201 Bolivia's president Morales says they are victims of climate change (fish are dying from frost) and the rich must pay for these convulsions of planet Earth. An examination of the data shows a cooling trend in Bolivia. Sun, 12 Dec 2010 20:57:00 GMT http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2010121201 http://www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming/index.htm?nn=2010120801 Seychelles claims they will be drowning if the rich countries don't pay up. Their drought problems are due to lack of reservoirs. Sea level is not rising significantly since neither Antarctica nor Greenland is melting in a significant way.
