NCDC has been tasked by the White House to produce propaganda to help push Barack Obama’s global warming agenda through. This includes a recent press release that the current winter is one of the hottest on record in the US.
Never mind that the Great Lakes are nearing a record high for ice coverage.
Never mind that the US is facing record cold over for the remainder of the winter.
What is important is that NCDC tampers with the data in a spectacular hockey stick, to make a frozen country appear to be warming out of control.
Note that they do maximum data tampering at the actual hottest year of 1934.

Pachauri is dead meat….After winning a relaxation of the injunction, the Economic Times posted a longer article on 19 February at 4am, re-stating the allegations of the original report:
The FIR alleges Pachauri committed offences under Sections 354, 354A, 354D, 506 of IPC, which deal with outraging the modesty of a woman, sexual harassment, stalking, and criminal intimidation, respectively. Prashant Mehndiratta, a senior Delhi High Court lawyer representing the complainant, confirmed that an FIR has been registered after the alleged victim’s statement was recorded, a process that took over oneand-a-half hours.
However, a statement sent to the ET from a Pachauri spokesperson stated:
The Delhi High Court has been pleased to pass order dated 17/02/2015. The said matter came up for hearing on 18/2/2015 wherein modifications have been made in the said order for defendant no. 1, 2 and 3 only.
However subject to the modifications in the order concerning defendants no 1 to 3, the order dated 17/02/2015 is applicable to the defendants and continues to be operational.
Given the fact that the said matter is currently subjudice and the Hon’ble High Court is seized of the matter, it will not be prudent or appropriate to comment anything on the matter pending adjudication before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court
The US National Academy of Sciences has served as the US Ministry of Truth since the USSR was disbanded.
The US National Academy of Sciences has reviewed the budgets of federal research agencies for Congress and directed public tax funds to finance the following lies as scientific facts:
1. Conflict of science with religion
2. The Standard Climate Models
3. The Standard Nuclear Model
4. The Standard Solar Model
5. Big Bang Cosmology Model
All of the above consensus science falsehoods are designed to hide our total dependence on the Sun’s pulsar core that first made and now sustains each atom, life and world in the solar system and the changing climate on each planet orbiting the Sun.
100% right on I will add to your list #6 – that evolution is proven [it is a junk sci fi story] and that bacteria magically created the 1000 books x1000 pages of DNA software, and 10 mn proteins to become the Dear Leader Barry O.

While I don’t agree with it, at least I understand some of the arguments for adjusting past temperatures because of TOBS. So, what is the reasoning behind adjusting more recent temps upwards? Since TOBS is no longer a factor, is there some inherent problem with the thermosensors they use that makes them record lower values?
Because the commie-in-chief told him to.
Zeke Hausfeather says over at Judith Curry’s
Which turns out to be pig feces in the extreme.
notrickszone reports
So with just that wrong way adjustment they change the data by almost 1 °C and that does not get into dropping rural stations and smearing the data from airports for 1200 kilometers.
Dr Edward R. Long, Ph.D. in physics and a retired NASA scientist has provided more validation of data altering.
So instead of adjusting city/urban temperatures DOWN by around 1 deg. C or more the adjust the rural stations UP.
A population density of only 100 persons per sq. km exhibits average warming of about 0.8 deg. C compared to a nearby unpopulated temperature monitoring location.

Ex-Bureaucrat Who Hired Jonathan Gruber Stonewalls Minnesota Investigation of His Work
April Todd-Malmlov, the former executive director of MNsure, the state of Minnesota’s Obamacare health exchange, is refusing to testify in the Minnesota Office of the Legislative Auditor’s (OLA) investigation into the troubled program. [She was subpoenad but never bothered to show.]
Todd-Malmlov hired Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber (as a subcontractor who developed the “Gruber-Gorman report” for Minnesota using his proprietary Gruber Microsimulation Model) in 2011, and approved $329,000 of invoices he submitted, all of which failed to provide the level of billing detail called for in his contract….
In December, Republican State Representative Greg Davids criticized Gruber’s work and called on Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson to investigate Gruber’s billings practices and require him to refund the entire $329,000 he received for his projections.
“The error rate for Dr. Gruber’s work is beyond laughable,” Davids told Breitbart News…..
Minnesota is not the only state or federal entity with unresolved questions about Jonathan Gruber’s billing practices and the methodology he used in developing his Obamacare related economic projections.
Todd-Malmlov’s stonewalling of the OLA investigation into the launch of MNsure, and Jonathan Gruber’s role in that launch, is consistent with Gruber’s own pattern of stonewalling questions posed by other state and federal authorities.
In Vermont, for instance, Gruber has yet to respond to inquiries posed in December by State Auditor Doug Hoffman, who wants details about $80,000 of invoices submitted by Gruber and paid to him by the state of Vermont for work purportedly undertaken by unnamed research assistants.
In January, Hoffman described Gruber’s response to his requests for information as “unsatisfactory.”…
Every winter the stratosphere over the North Pole cools, this begins when the sunlight can no longer provide the energy to heat the ozone. Without this energy, the stratosphere cools rapidly, creating a thermal imbalance with the warmer stratosphere further south. This imbalance creates a large pressure difference and combined with the Coriolis effect, creates a large strong jet stream, circumnavigating the globe in the stratosphere in an eastwards direction. This system is known as the polar night jet, and contained within it is a strong vortex – known as the polar vortex.
The polar vortex increases and decreases in strength depending upon how cold the polar stratospheric atmosphere becomes during winter. The colder the polar stratosphere becomes, the stronger the polar vortex – and vice versa. The strength of the stratospheric polar vortex influences the atmosphere below it in the troposphere.
The troposphere also has a strong vortex over the North Pole during winter, this occurs due to tropospheric temperature and pressure differences. The strength of the stratospheric vortex helps govern the strength of the tropospheric vortex and this directly affects the strength of the jet stream.
In colder stratospheric conditions the jet stream becomes stronger; the stronger the jet stream, the straighter it flows and during winter, this normally keeps it on a collision course with the UK. A powerful jet stream is associated with unsettled and milder air, often with periods of heavy rain and windy conditions as one depression after another charges in from the Atlantic.
In warmer stratospheric conditions the jet stream takes a more meandering path due to a weaker polar vortex. This allows cold air to spill further south.
Polar vortex is weak in places where there is an excess of ozone, which generates a higher temperature.
Now occurs this over Canada.

Don’t forget to factor in the solar wind strength, as monitored here http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/ovation_prime/data/
I have seen where GW values range from 5 to 150 on a continues input. May be an added driver to solar cycle factors.

Galactic Cosmic Rays, high-energy radiation consisting chiefly of subatomic particles moving at nearly the speed of light. Primary cosmic rays bombard the earth’s atmosphere continuously from all directions. Few reach the surface of the earth, however, because most are stopped or destroyed in violent collisions with atoms of air. The collisions create showers of new subatomic particles called secondary cosmic rays, which move at very high speeds in the same general direction as the primary rays that produced them. Some secondary cosmic rays, in turn, collide with other air atoms lower in the atmosphere, creating even more secondary cosmic rays. By the time it reaches the earth’s surface, a shower may consist of hundreds of thousands of secondary rays, all created within a fraction of a second.
Astronomers believe that most primary cosmic rays originate within our galaxy and that they reach their high speeds because of the action of magnetic forces in space. The sun and the magnetic fields of planets in the solar system have been shown to be sources of weak cosmic rays. Specific sources of other cosmic rays cannot be determined easily, because large magnetic fields in the galaxy scatter the rays in all directions. Some astronomical observations indicate that a principal source of cosmic rays is Cygnus X-3, a distant binary star system near the edge of our galaxy. Other sources may be supernovae and pulsars. The most powerful cosmic rays probably originate in other galaxies.
Most primary cosmic rays are the nuclei of atoms, in particular the nuclei of hydrogen atoms (protons) and helium atoms. Typically, the energy of primary cosmic rays that reach the vicinity of the earth ranges from 1 to 10 GeV (1 to 10 giga [billion] electron volts). Some cosmic rays, however, have energies more than a billion times greater (up to 1020 eV). These energies are much higher than the energies acquired by particles in particle accelerators.
Secondary cosmic rays consist of gamma rays and a large variety of elementary particles, including mesons, protons, neutrons, electrons, and positrons. They are constantly striking every object on earth. Though each secondary cosmic ray possesses only a small fraction of the energy of the primary ray, some secondary cosmic rays have enough energy to penetrate deep into solid rock.
As forms of high-energy radiation, both primary and secondary cosmic rays may affect living things by causing changes in their genes, which control heredity. Cosmic rays are involved in the formation of carbon 14, which is used in the radioactive dating of organic material. The carbon 14 is formed when cosmic rays strike nitrogen atoms in the air.
Cosmic rays provide scientists with information about the structure, operation, and history of the galaxy and of the universe. Studies of cosmic rays have led to the discovery of many elementary particles. Also, cosmic rays have provided a test of certain effects predicted by the Special Theory of Relativity, because the particles that constitute cosmic rays move at speeds close to that of light.

Abstract.
In this work we continue studying possible reasons for the temporal variability of longterm
effects of solar activity (SA) and galactic cosmic ray (GCR) variations on the lower
atmosphere circulation. It was revealed that the detected earlier ~60-year oscillations of the
amplitude and sign of SA/GCR effects on the troposphere pressure at high and middle latitudes are
closely related to the state of a cyclonic vortex forming in the polar stratosphere. A roughly 60-
year periodicity was found in the vortex strength affecting the evolution of the large-scale
atmospheric circulation and the character of SA/GCR effects. It was shown that the sign reversals
of the correlations between tropospheric pressure and SA/GCR variations coincide well with the
transitions between the different states of the vortex. Most pronounced SA/GCR influence on the
development of extratropical baric systems is observed when the vortex is strong. The results
obtained suggest that the evolution of the stratospheric polar vortex plays an important part in the
mechanism of solar-atmospheric links.

Monitoring of cosmic rays at cruise altitudes lead NAIRAS. GCR grow when is falling solar activity.
http://sol.spacenvironment.net/nairas/index.html
In a period of very low solar activity because of the GCR, significantly increases the risk for aircraft and spacecraft. Flight to Mars may not be possible. Before so powerful energies there is no collateral.
‘The Resilient Earth’Page 195, starting at paragraph four:
“To summarize, the link between cosmic rays and climate regulation, we know the following: The Sun and Earth both have magnetic fields that deflect some incoming cosmic rays. This divides the cosmic rays into three categories; low energy rays that are deflected by Earth’s magnetic field, medium energy rays that are deflected by the solar wind and magnetic field, and high energy waves that are not deflected by either magnetic field.
As energy levels rise, the number of GCR drop drmatically. But, very energetic GCR create a majority of the extensive air showers, and hend, a majority of muons that penetrate to Earth’s surface. About 60% of GCR created muons are created by the high-energy ray category. These are the GCR that cannot be blocked by the Sun’s protective magnetic field. About 40% of GCR muons fll into the middle or low categories, caused by primary particles that can be blocked by the Sun’s field.
These are muons that vary with changes in the Sun’s activity, causing decadal and centuries long cycle of temperature variation. Earth’s magnetic field plays almost no role in regulating GCR generated mouns. It has been estimated that the total disappearance of the Earth’s magnetic field wold only result in a 3% increase in ground level radiation.
The new explanation of Earth’s climate history is presented for the non-scientist in Henrik Svensmark and Nigel Calder’s book ‘The Chilling Stars’. This new work is a severe blow to proponents of the enhanced greenhouse hypothesis and advocates of antropogenic global warming who have worked so hard to deny solar influence on global climate.”
OH My, Oh my, Tony you need to read this!
Subpoenas arrive as Oregon governor announces departure
I’m on Long Island and just caught the weather report on tv. Last night we broke the record for cold. We have salt water bays and harbors frozen, there is ice in the ocean that is slushy at the shore. People have said they haven’t seen this in 20 years.
Personally, I don’t remember ever hearing there was slushy ice on the shore and I’m 56 and lived here my whole life, but I may have missed it. You would think they would dial back a little on the warming b.s. in the US.
They can’t Nancy. Too much of their agenda depends on it. They will be saying that we’re warming until they are mocked by the public and press. Until they they will keep the fantasy going.
They’ll only be mocked by a very small part of the “news” media as they have a deep and abiding love for the ultimate goal of CAGW “science”… more Progressive government. Note the lukewarm responses to the recent kerfuffle about that Williams guy lying through his teeth… for decades. I didn’t hear a lot of real outrage from his “peers” in the media. You really think they’ll be any different when it becomes time for them to acknowledge that all the skeptics they’ve been insulting and censoring for the last 20+ years are correct?
Reuters is onto it http://in.reuters.com/article/2015/02/20/india-sexualharassment-pachauri-idINKBN0LO1NT20150220 If BBC, NBC, ect don’t publish it will prove beyond doubt their complicity in the AGW fraud because its just a sensantion story not related to climate ect.
Last chart does NOT look like a hockey stick. It looks like a Jai Alai stick.
Phonetically that is Hi I Lie.
Low solar activity is conducive weakened polar vortex. The current solar cycle 24 is coming to a minimum. This means that the current polar vortex pattern occurs in subsequent years. This should deal with the governments of Canada and the US.
The US government is well aware that their window of warm weather is closing and they have to get a treaty signed in Paris the November or CAGW is dead.
Global warming has struck the Holy Land.

Of course if you or alternatively Europe for the last year or two have been getting the cold from the Arctic it means the Arctic is not that cold.

Feds: America Should Adopt ‘Plant-Based’ Diet |
“The federal committee responsible for nutrition guidelines is calling for the adoption of “plant-based” diets, taxes on dessert, trained obesity “interventionists” at worksites, and electronic monitoring of how long Americans sit in front of the television.
The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) released its far-reaching 571-page report of recommendations to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Thursday, which detailed its plans to “transform the food system.”……..

FDA Shows Its True Colors
By Gené Walls | May 30, 2010
Notice those statement by the FDA was made in a court of law. One way to ‘make laws’ without going through Congress is through case law. That is law based on precedence set in court.
………………
It explains the real goal of the Food Safety Modernization Act.
Protection of the food system certainly had nothing to do with that law since it functions to make food UNSAFE
Trojan Horse Law: The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
…………………
It also answers the question: Why Is the USDA Buying Submachine Guns with 30-Round Magazines?
MORE DIGGING This time on Lori Robertson and FactCheck.
I had already mentioned how Organic Consumer’s and Food & Water Watch betrayed US citizens in the matter of the Food Safety Modernization Act, and were handsomely rewarded for that betrayal, HERE.
The target was articles by Linn-Cohen-Cole like this: A solemn walk through HR 875
As Lynn said in a different Op Ed “…if people will take time to read the bill (and there are comments to help them along), they will see stopping those bills is fundamental to freedom for all of us to even exist. WRITE THE SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIR. HR 875 is more dangerous to this country than even the bailout.” Unfortunately it looks like she is even more right than any of us thought. (Lynn did the final writing but the research was a group effort.)
Fact Check also got into the act of countering any opposition to the proposed law.
Lori Robertson’s smear of Lynn Cohen-Cole’s effort to warn Americans is HERE
The question is who is Lori Robertson and more important, who is she fronting for?
Lori Robertson of FactCheck.org, — A Project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center
Lori Robertson is on the staff of the Annenberg Public Policy Center. So that is who Lori is working for.
This is a group doing research on the best method of delivering propaganda. Just read the bio of Dan Romer Ph.D. and you will see what I mean. It is all about getting out the ‘correct message’ to shape behavior.
Heck, even WIKI says the Annenberg Foundation is into Social Justice and the rest of the UN/Progressive/Socialist/Communist propaganda.
What Factcheck actually does is counter any truth that might wake the Sheeple up. It has nothing to do with actually checking the FACTS. It’s purpose is to think for the Sheeple and reassure them if they are troubled by cognitive dissonance due to something they heard or read.

People’s Gardens: Why Would the USDA Want People to Register Their Gardens?
As the author says the ” People’s Gardens” are community gardens. (Although the use of the word ‘People’ should sound loud alarm bells.)
What is interesting is one of the comments:
Of course the states are often used as information collectors as livestock farmers found out the hard way. Taxachusetts placed anyone with property and getting horse magazines, vet checks… in the USDA Animal ID data base without permission. Once in the database the USDA refused to wipe the entries. Even children were used. 4H leaders would interrogate kids and sign up their family farms. Again without the parents permission. This was the ‘VOLUNTARY’ sign-up BTW.

Rosa Koire identified the danger years ago. THE POST SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
She identified one of the critical points.
She identified Cornell University as a place where the research is being done: Interesting that the page now turns up “Not Found” The word “foodshed’ now turns up “Storying the Food Shed” an entirely different subject.
The only thing I can now find is an Academic paper: Foodshed analysis and its relevance to sustainability (No abstract) That leads to Mapping potential foodsheds in New York State by food group: an approach for prioritizing which foods to grow locally. Again no abstract. But the Abstract can be found here: HERE Have you ever seen a university NOT link to the abstracts of the papers their professors produce?
With more digging I found: Retracting the Global Foodshed
So Cornell coined the word ‘Foodshed’ and now has scrubbed the internet of easy access to references that connection the word and Cornell!
Seems Rosa Koire is flying over the target!
