October 17, 2007 | Real Science

By October 17, 2007 – all of the thick ice had pushed past the North Pole towards the North Atlantic.

In 2012, thick ice extends hundreds of miles in every direction from the pole. Comparing 2007 to 2012 is ridiculous.

Cooler waters help diminish Isaac's punch

one of the reasons why Isaac is not Katrina is the path it took across the Gulf of Mexico and the temperature of the ocean below, which helps to fuel hurricanes.

Hurricanes Getting Deadlier | Real Science

112 years ago this week, a hurricane formed in the Atlantic which later killed at least 8,000 people in Texas, and destroyed Galveston...Experts tell us that hurricanes are becoming more intense due to livestock farts.

Hottest July In Virginia? Or Maybe Not. « NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

When I asked Deke Arndt of NOAA how they calculated the temperatures for 1934, he seemed as confused as me!
...
So it would appear the temperatures that NOAA now declare for 1934 are no more than a “theoretical reconstruction”. But without the transparency to show how this has been done, how can we have any confidence that it has been done properly. There is a potential discrepancy of 0.6F in Virginia; if this is extended across the whole country, it would destroy the claim that this July was the hottest month on record as July 1936 was only 0.13F cooler on NOAA’s record. Indeed this would only the 5th warmest July in the CONUS.

So here’s my challenge for NOAA. Prove me wrong. Prove that the USHCN station analysis is not giving the true picture. Show how you come to the conclusions you do and prove that they are correct.

2012 Nothing Like 2007 | Real Science

In 2007, sea surface temperatures were far above normal in the Chukchi Sea. This year they are far below normal, which means that ice will form quickly. Most of the 2007 ice loss occurred during the following winter, when a lot of MYI blew out into the North Atlantic – leaving very thin ice in 2008.
