So cold in Minnesota NOAA runs out of colors

By Elmer Beauregard It is the second day of spring and most of Minnesota was below zero this morning but you wouldn’t know it from NOAA’s real-time temperature map. This was from 9:12 this morning when it was -14º F below zero in Bemidji Minnesota, according to this color chart …

China Accidentally Geoengineers The Planet

In America coal powered plants scrub out the sulfur and pay huge fines for any sulfur emissions. What the geoengineers hope to do is then take the scrubbed out sulfur from the power plants, put it on planes and spray into the atmosphere to offset the global warming that the coal plants are causing…
…It seems like China has a more efficient system.

Is there such a thing as a “Climate Event”?

The term “Event” can only be attributed to “Weather” because it occurs over a short period of time. A tornado lasts for just a few minutes, so a Tornado can’t be a “Climate Event” it is a “Weather Event”.
When you have a “Weather Event” you have to look at the conditions at the time to see what caused it. This has been an unusually cool spring, if you are going to blame global warming shouldn’t it have been unusually warm?

Snow kicks off Earth Week

Local Detroit communities scrambled to send out salt trucks while warning that carbon-spewing trucks are destroying the planet, and local schools prepared to scare the kiddies with the movie Carbon Nation — assuming schools didn’t have a snow day.

Just 2 months till the days start getting shorter

It’s April 16, 2011 and here in Minnesota we woke up to a fresh coating of snow. I was hoping maybe to do some grilling this weekend but that seems ridiculous now. The lakes up north are still frozen and it looks like they won’t be opening up anytime soon. Opening fishing this year might have to be an ice fishing contest.

January Thaw Doesn’t Come Until February

We just finished a nice thawing period here in Minnesota that came in the middle of February. We usually get this in the middle of January, we call it a “January thaw” and it happens pretty regularly, in fact 2011 will be the first year we haven’t had a January thaw in over 30 years.

New Report: Why NOAA and NASA Proclamations Should Be Ignored

The pressure has been mounting. The public doubt about global warming has been increasing in recent years given Climategate, and how promises of warm snowless winters failed. After cold and snowy winters in 2007/08 and 2008/09, the winter of 2009/10 was the coldest ever in parts of the southeast, and in parts of Siberia and the coldest since 1977/78 or 1962/63 in many parts of the United States, Europe and Asia. This past December was the second coldest in the entire Central England Temperature record extending back to 1659. It was the coldest ever December in diverse locations like Ireland, Sweden, and Florida. Reluctantly, alarmists changed their tune and the promise of warm and snowless winters as recent as 4 years ago morphed into global warming means cold and snowy winters.
