Y2Kyoto: End Of Snow
Winter Storm Pretzel: Climate scientists struggling to reconcile model predictions of the end of snow with the observed abundance of white stuff have come up with a way to predict more and less snow at the same time.

Y2Kyoto: That Was The Moment That The Rise Of The Oceans Began To Slow
Prepare yourself to be shocked.
Remember when President Barack Obama was running around telling everyone how he’d convinced China to get serious about cutting its carbon dioxide emissions? A new report shows that Obama was easily duped.
Over the course of three years, Obama met with Chinese President Xi Jinping to, he said, agree to “climate targets” (in 2014), “lay out additional actions” (in 2015), and sign the Paris Agreement (2016). […]
Worse, even before Obama made his boast it was clear that China’s state-controlled emissions data were unreliable. In late 2015 it came to light that the country had far more coal plants that it had admitted, and as a result had been emitting a billion tons more CO2 that it officially proclaimed. A report in Skeptical Science last year notes that CO2 emissions for China still “aren’t known with any accuracy.”
In other words, while Obama wanted the U.S. to actually cut emissions, neither he nor anyone else in the industrialized world knew what China was up to, other than what it claimed.
Now a new study shows that while China was telling Obama that it was taking bold steps on climate change, it was business as usual inside the Middle Kingdom.
It’s hard to understand the “long view” Chinese. The act as though they think the whole climate emergency thing is just a gigantic fraud.
Y2Kyoto: The Next World War Will Be Fought With Food
And it begins — as is the tradition — with a German Chancellor.
This is not a holiday ceremony, but thousands of German farmers driving tractors to Berlin in protest of new policies. https://t.co/7OJs7vSLtF

The Sound Of Settled Science
Mapping the Medieval Warm Period;
About 1000 years ago, large parts of the world experienced a prominent warm phase which in many cases reached a similar temperature level as today or even exceeded present-day warmth. While this Medieval Warm Period (MWP) has been documented in numerous case studies from around the globe, climate models still fail to reproduce this historical warm phase. The problem is openly conceded in the most recent IPCC report from 2013 (AR5, Working Group 1) where in chapter 5.3.5. the IPCC scientists admit […]
Surprisingly, the media have not picked up on this important issue. Maybe because the information is hidden in small print on page 415 of the voluminous report and omitted in the Summary for Policy Makers? The implications of the mismatch of model vs. reality may be serious: It is common practice in all fields of modeling to test models first on existing data, i.e. a known development, before using them as predictive tools. Models first have to pass the ‚hind cast‘ or ‚history match‘ before they qualify to be used for predictions. According to the IPCC, the climate models seem to have failed this test, appear to be on the road without driving license – so to speak – and are therefore unfit for future climate predictions.

Y2Kyoto: Submergence Of Venice
@RyanMaue – I knew something was off when Venice’s mayor immediately blamed climate change for his city’s flooding. After the 1966 flooding, an infrastructure project called Moses was planned to hold back 53 years later it still hasn’t been finished.

30°F as high Tuesday in Nashville might occur in ~30 minutes at midnight … destroying record for coldest high temp. (Also, earliest coldest high in winter season.) pic.twitter.com/7OOwMV4bRW

Only 7°F this morning in Amarillo, Texas matching the 7°F in Chicago.
Cold rewriting many records from 1911. Century long cold records are incredibly hard to beat … and they are being shattered. pic.twitter.com/5brvAykpO2

North Dakota? Nope, this is Canyon, Texas (near Amarillo) today. Snow beginning to accumulate with reduced visibility due to the strong winds.

Climate Barbie’s Historical Data Modeling Gig
It’s a doozie.
Y2Kyoto: Come Ski The Climate Emergency!
Y2Kyoto: DON’T EAT THE CANNED MEAT
Arctic tours ship MS MALMO with 16 passengers on board got stuck in ice on Sep 3 off Longyearbyen, Svalbard Archipelago, halfway between Norway and North Pole. The ship is on Arctic tour with Climate Change documentary film team, and tourists, concerned with Climate Change and melting Arctic ice. All 16 Climate Change warriors were evacuated by helicopter in challenging conditions, all are safe. 7 crew remains on board, waiting for Coast Guard ship assistance.
Something is very wrong with Arctic ice, instead of melting as ordered by UN/IPCC, it captured the ship with Climate Change Warriors.
Y2Kyoto: New Normal
Better than the old normal.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for example, warns, “This is what climate change looks like.” Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders one-ups that, tweeting: “Hurricane Dorian has everything to do with climate change, which is the existential crisis of our time.”
Julian Castro is also tying Dorian to global warming.
They’re wrong, but their warnings fit a pattern. When hurricanes Harvey and Irma both hit mainland US in quick succession in 2017, critics claimed this was the “new normal.”
In fact, those two storms, along with Michael in 2018, were the only three major hurricanes greater than a Category 3 to hit the continental US in the last 13 years. That’s a record low since 1900. For comparison, the average over the same timeframe has been nearly eight major hurricanes.
