Climatologic Analysis for Madison, AL (since Nov 2007)

Local Climate Index -20.2°F Clima-Sim1

Clima-Sim 1Predicted Mean Temps based on CO2Now level as of 21 Mar 11. This should be the expected mean temperature using the CO2Now base.

NCDC means are 30-yr avg values computed from data from 1971-2000. Data is updated decennially, for the most recent 30-yr period. NCDC Climate Data

"The carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is distributed pretty evenly around the globe and not concentrated in the Arctic, so it doesn't look like we can blame greenhouse gases for the overwhelming bulk of the Northern Hemisphere warming over the past 27 years. The most likely suspect for that is a natural climate change or cycle that we didn't expect or just don't understand." UAH Atmospheric Studies

El Nino Meter (°C) Sea Temp Departure

Winter El Niño episodes feature a strong jet stream and storm track across the South, and less storminess, milder conditions across the North. Winter La Niña episodes feature a wave-like jet stream flow over N. America, with colder and stormier than average conditions across the North, and warmer, less stormy conditions across the South.

I'm all for recycling, but...God didn't put us here to save the planet. Come on...Carbon Footprint...really? So, to make it right, we have to buy credits for our use of electricity and redistribute our money to less rich countries? Sounds like a socialist spread-the-wealth scheme.

Satellite and Climate Model Evidence Against Substantial Manmade Climate Change
"IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) climate models are far too sensitive, resulting in their prediction of too much global warming in response to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions." Dr Roy Spencer, Univ of AL, Huntsville

Global Warming
"Believe it or not, very little research has ever been funded to search for natural mechanisms of warming…it has simply been assumed that global warming is manmade. This assumption is rather easy for scientists since we do not have enough accurate global data for a long enough period of time to see whether there are natural warming mechanisms at work.

The United Nation’s IPCC claims that the only way they can get their computerized climate models to produce the observed warming is with human-caused pollution. But they’re not going to find something if they don’t search for it. More than one scientist has asked me, “What else COULD it be?” Well, the answer to that takes a little digging… and as I show, one doesn’t have to dig very far."

How my Climate Index observations are obtained.

This station's data/observations are collected by a Davis VP2 Professional Wireless Weather Station. Observations are collected every 1sec and data reduction is performed by Weather Display software. The station is comprised of an anemometer, barometer, temperature and humidity sensors, rain gauge, solar radiation sensor, soil moisture sensors, and 4 thermo-hydro sensors situated in optimal positions for highest accuracy possible.

Accurate analysis can only be obtained by correctly sited sensors. This weather station is sited IAW the procedures outlined in the CWOP handbook. Data collected by this weather station is utilized by NOAA, CWOP, and other weather organizations.
