What will summers be in AD 2100?

While I'm working on a longer post, here is an interesting interactive graphic from Climate Central.  Just type in the city you are interested in and see what the summers will be for that city in AD 2100. It shows which US city (or world city) currently experiences average summer temperatures as hot as those predicted for selected US cities and gives you an idea of how far north the climate bands will have shifted over the next 86 years.



Average summer highs in my current hometown are predicted to warm up by nearly 6.5ºC from the current average high of 29.4ºC to a predicted average high of 35.9ºC.  How much will your closest city warm?

    Where I live it's going to be WAY hotter. Like more than 10 degrees F hotter. Not surprising.

Enough hockey sticks for a team

One of the persistent denier myths is that the Hockey Stick (usually meaning Mann, M. E., R. S, Bradley, and M. K. Hughes. 1999. Northern Hemispheric Temperatures During the Past Millenium: Inferences, Uncertainties, and Limitations. Geophysical Research Letters . 26:759-762 ) has been discredited.  Not only is that myth false but Mann et al. (1999) has been validated through the publication of numerous hockey stick graphs since 1999.  Here is a brief list of the ones I know: Crowley, T. J. 2000. Causes of Climate Change Over the Past 1000 Years. Science 289:270-277 : Used both his own and Mann et al. (1999)'s hockey sticks to examine the cause of temperature changes over the past 1,000 years.  Found that natural forcings could not explain twentieth century warming without the effect of greenhouse gases.

Tom Luongo's multiple lies about climate change

Image
An old friend posted an " article " by Tom Luongo, a former chemist (B.S. from the University of Florida) who now writes the Resolute Wealth Newsletter, on Facebook.  Unfortunately, that article is chock full of lies about climate science.  Since Facebook comments aren't the best forum for debunking Gish Gallops, I'm taking the liberty of debunking them here. [Update: Since Luongo got most of his claims from John Casey, I've written something about his brand of science here .]
