Nothing wrong with Ole Humlum. he isnt a shill. He has his theorys and as such shouldnt be dismissed.
why would ole humlum put out fake, easily debunked graphs unless he is trying to pull the wool over?
Are the graphs fake?
your name and Shame blog citation provides no sourcing for their alterations of the graphs, nor for their inexplicable disregard for the geologic evidence of long term glacial advances and retreats over history, well beyond 1979, the New Normal, which happens t coincide with a global cold spell which prompted claims of a new ice age.here are what the graphs that KKKynes posted earlier actually look like:
CO2 levels:
temps (with the retarded and misleading CO2 graph attached below)

kynes is a fucking joke who will lie to your face and tell you it's raining, but he will take 74 paragraphs to do it so that you're so buried in bullshit that you think it's snowing mid sized automobiles.
yes "skeptical science" another blog which assumes that the climate was invented in 1979, and thus we have been "burning up" since man first discovered fire has lots of cutesy graphs and charts which "prove" that any who dare believe that the ice age was real are just stoopid.
california has ALWAYS been hot (well for the last 8-10 thousand years)
They're using satellite data for that graph I hope I don't need to explain why it's dated as such
It's amusing that you believe we can accurately say mars is warming yet we're befuddled to do same on earth...

The "ice age myths" are good for usefully idiots like yourself to exclaim when it's cold and pat each other on the back for being so clever......
Newton was a bad ass, for sure, but he had little to do with thermodynamics outside of creating Calculus.
the ice age was REAL, and we are peaking in an "Interglacial Period" which is expected to continue for another couple hundred years before an expected return to a cooling trend.
the true beleivers cannot claim to corner the market on ideas, you are practicing orthodoxy, which is anathema to science.
mars' polar CO2 sheets are retreating.
repeating my citation doesnt make this citation more Troofy, nor does it make the assertions any more rational, it is still a rationalization in defense of your beliefs which depend on Cherry picking evidence and slandering scientists who do not agree
we ARE in an Interglatial Period. pretending we are not is willful ignorance.
Katrina damage was due to the large storm surge it created. the fact it was a lesser hurricane when it reached land means nothing
"it is important to recognize that we have a new normal, whereby the environment in which all storms form is simply different than it was just a few decades ago. Global climate change has contributed to the higher sea surface and sub-surface ocean temperatures, a warmer and moisteratmosphere above the ocean, higher water levels around the globe, and perhaps more precipitation in storms."Two new papers have recently been published examining the link between global warming and hurricane intensity. In both cases, the scientists have found evidence that the most intense hurricanes are already occurring more often as a result of human-caused global warming. However, their predictions about future hurricane changes differ somewhat.[h=3]Grinsted on Hurricane Storm Surges[/h]Last year, Tamino examined Grinsted et al. (2012), which demonstrated that the most extreme storm surge events can mainly be attributed to large landfalling hurricanes, and that those events are strongly linked to hurricane damage. The study also found that there have been twice as many Katrina-magnitude storm surge events in globally warm years as compared to cold years.In a new paper, Grinsted et al. (2013) constructed a storm surge index beginning in 1923 from six long tide gauge records in the southeastern USA. The idea is that surges in sea level recorded at tide gauge stations can tell us about strong hurricane events. Consistent with their 2012 results, the authors found:"The strong winds and intense low pressure associated with tropical cyclones generate storm surges. These storm surges are the most harmful aspect of tropical cyclones in the current climate, and wherever tropical cyclones prevail they are the primary cause of storm surges."They compared their storm surge index to changes in global surface temperature, to temperatures in the Main Development Region (MDR; a part of the Atlantic Ocean where most hurricanes form), and to MDR warming relative to the tropical mean temperatures (rMDR). They found that averaged sea surface temperatures over the MDR are the best predictor of Atlantic cyclone activity, followed by global average surface temperature, with MDR warming relative to the tropics being the worst predictor of hurricane activity (Figure 1).Figure 1: (A) Average surge index over the cyclone season. (B) Observed frequency
of surge events with surge index greater than 10 units per year (surge index > 10 units). (C) Global average temperature, MDR temperature, and rMDR temperature anomaly. Inset shows locations along the US coast of the six tide gauges used in the surge index.Grinsted et al. then used the relationships between hurricane storm surges and global and MDR temperatures to predict how storm surges will change in the future. They used theRepresentative Concentrations Pathway (RCP) 4.5 scenario, which represents a future in which we slowly reduce human greenhouse gas emissions such that they peak around the year 2040. In this scenario, there is approximately 2.4°C global surface warming over the 21st century. The results are shown in Figure 2."The response to a 1°C warming is consistently an increase [in Katrina-levelstorm surges] by a factor of 27 ... This increase does not include the additional increasing surge threat from sea level rise"Figure 2: Number of Katrina magnitude surge events per decade (B) hindcast and projected changes in temperatures from climate model BNU-ESM under for RCP4.5 (A). The thick blue line shows the projection using the full spatial gridded temperatures and confidenceinterval (5168495%); magenta and black show the projections using only Main Development Region (MDR) and global average surface temperature.In short, the Grinsted results suggest that by the end of the century, we will see 2 to 7 times more Katrina-like intense hurricanes. Moreover, their storm surges and associated damage will be even larger because sea levels will also be higher.In another important result, Grinsted et al. found that on average, the frequency of Katrina-magnitude storm surges doubles for every approximately 0.4°C average global surface warming. Since human-caused global surface warming over the past century has already exceeded 0.4°C,
"we have probably crossed the threshold where Katrina magnitude hurricane surges are more likely caused by global warming than not."[h=3]Holland and Bruyère[/h]Holland and Bruyère (2013) developed an Anthropogenic Climate Change Index (ACCI) to investigate the potential global warming contribution to current tropical cyclone activity. Their ACCI is the difference between climate model runs including human climateinfluences (greenhouse gases and aerosols) and runs without those human influences.The study concluded that while they don't see any human influence in the total number of hurricanes, there is a strong signal with global warming causing more strong (Category 4 and 5) and fewer weak (Category 1 and 2) hurricanes (Figure 3)."We find an observed change in the proportion of global Cat 45 hurricanes (relative to all hurricanes) at a rate of ~40% increase in proportion per °C increase in ACCI ... We conclude that since 1975 there has been a substantial and observable regional and global increase in the proportion of Cat 45 hurricanes of 2530% per °C of anthropogenic global warming."Figure 3: Human influence on hurricane proportions in the highest (Category 4-5) and lowest (Category 1-2) SaffirSimpson hurricane categoriesThis result means more than a doubling of strong hurricanes for every °C of warming, similar to that of Grinsted et al. (27 times more Katrina-like events), though a bit lower.The good news is that the model used by Holland and Bruyère anticipates that we are approaching a limit in this trend of increasing proportionality of intense hurricanes.
"An important finding is that the proportion of intense hurricanes appears to initially increase in response to warming oceans, but then approach a saturation level after which no further increases occur. There is tentative evidence that the saturation level will differ across the tropical cyclone basins and that the global proportion of Cat 45 hurricanes may already be near its saturation level of ~4050%."[h=3]Summary[/h]These two papers add to the growing body of evidence that we are seeing more intense hurricanes as a result of human-caused global warming. The Grinsted paper also notes that the most harmful aspect of hurricanes storm surges have become larger over the past few decades.The future of hurricanes remains an open question. While Grinsted predicts that the most intense hurricanes will continue to become more and more frequent in a warming world, the results of Holland and Bruyère suggest that we may be near the peak of intense hurricane frequency. The Grinsted results are more in line with most previous hurriane modeling research, but for the sake of people living in areas subject to hurricanes, we hope that Holland and Bruyère are correct about the hurricane saturation level.
