Updated April 06, 2010 Top Climate Scientist's Exoneration Won't Be the Last Word When a Penn State board of inquiry unilaterally decided that Michael Mann had broken no rules in the climate-data scandal, global-warming alarmists breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the most damaging episode in their effort to save the planet was behind them. They were wrong. But the final say will be in the hands of a skeptical inspector general at the National Science Foundation, the primary funder of the research into global warming. According to published documents obtained by FoxNews.com, the IG must determine whether Penn State's investigation was adequate. The Office of Inspector General confirmed that it will review the misconduct charges. A spokeswoman told FoxNews.com that "in accordance with our research misconduct regulation, (45 C.F.R. part 689), when the OIG is provided with an institution's investigation report, we review it for fairness, accuracy and completeness" -- issues the investigation has already been faulted for. Mann's study of the climate record over the past millennium introduced the now famous "hockey stick" graph, which showed temperatures along a relatively stable line for centuries and then spiking upward, much like a hockey stick. The image became the icon of climate change because it made the science seem so clear and compelling. Until, that is, e-mails from the climate study center at East Anglia University surfaced. Instead of ending the controversy, Penn State's 10-page report clearing Mann opened up a storm of controversy. the final say Zell/Granny 2012 Send Your Thanks To the U.S.Military Post a Message to our Soldiers Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most Grandpa Bob Professional Fence Hanger / Spectator Former Crew Chief Grandma's Rocking Chair | |||

Did you even watch the video of the USS Skate? http://www.icue.com/portal/sit...tview/?cuecard=41751 Look carefully at the ice floating in the water. Also checkout the thickness of the ice on the deck. Does that look like 25 feet of ice to you? More like 2 or 3 feet to me. Here's some more photo's................... http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/08578.htm | |||

If you're not using the USS Skate link as a means of rebuttal then I don't see where you're going with this............ | ||

"with high winds pushing the floes into motion" An ice floe is a floating chunk of ice that is less than 10 kilometers (six miles) in its greatest dimension. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_ice Apparently the sea ice was not that thick for the USS Skate to penetrateit once the wind blew floes out of the way. Just trying to give you some historical variation regarding the Artic in terms of thickness and extents. | |||

From Wikipedia; North America File:El Niño regional impacts.gif Regional impacts of warm ENSO episodes (El Niño).See also: Effects of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation in the United States In North America, El Niño creates warmer-than-average winters in the upper Midwest states and the Northwest, thus reduced snowfall than average during winter. Meanwhile, central and southern California, northwest Mexico and the southwestern U.S. become significantly wetter while the northern Gulf of Mexico states and Southeast states (including Tidewater and northeast Mexico) are wetter and cooler than average during the El Niño phase of the oscillation.[22][23] Summer is wetter in the intermountain regions of the U.S. The Pacific Northwest states, on the other hand, tend to experience dry, mild but foggy winters and warm, sunny and early springs. In Canada, both warmer and drier winters (due to forcing of the Polar Jet further north) occur, although relatively little variation is seen in the Maritime Provinces. The following summer is less stormy and warmer over the middle of the country. It is believed that the ice-storm in January 1998, which devastated parts of Southern Ontario and Southern Quebec, may have been caused or at least accentuated by El Niño's warming effects.[24] El Niño also warmed up weather in Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics, such that the area experienced subtropical-like weather during the games.[25] El Niño is also associated with increased wave-caused coastal erosion along the United States Pacific Coast. Fits your map doesn't it JJ? But, in your own words "weather is not climate". | |||

JJ is still posting yesterdays weather? At least that way he can never make a bad forecast! | |||

<Jeremy J.> |
Is Blackie or Koski EVER going to tell us how climate and weather are not different? Still waiting! | ||
<Jeremy J.> |
There's going to be a chance of rain 95% of the days from here on out until October. That should be a safe forecast! | ||
