Climate Cools But Arctic Ice Scares Continue by Dr. Tim Ball, Canada Free Press

Article Tags: Tim Ball

My badge of honor is an attack by Phil Jones, disgraced and displaced Director of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) whose leaked emails showed how they falsified climate science. On May 22, 2009 Jones wrote to Mann, “Our web server has found this piece of garbage – so wrong it is unbelievable that Tim Ball wrote a decent paper in Climate Since AD 1500. I sometimes wish I’d never said this about the land stations in an email. Referring to Alex von Storch just shows how up to date he is.” The article in CanadaFreePress was one of eleven in a series written before the CRU exposé. The first two were written with Tom Harris, the rest are mine.

They’re a history of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and indirectly control by the CRU gang.

“Climate Since AD 1500” is a collection of articles edited by Jones and Bradley (J&B) published by Routledge in 1992. My chapter is titled, “Historical and instrumental evidence of climate: western Hudson Bay, Canada, 1714 ‚—1850”. Articles show the degree to which climate changes in short periods. Despite this J&B are already setting the focus on human causes. In a summary they claim two positions emerge from the evidence, but both “perspectives provide fuel for arguments over the veracity of anthropogenic greenhouse-gas-induced climatic change.” They argue, “To resolve this controversy, further modeling and paleoclimate studies are needed” (page 674). Their summary, analysis, and recommendation are distortions of the evidence.

A.E.J. Ogilvie’s article examined climate change in Iceland from AD 1500 to 1800. It notes, “Iceland’s position within the range of the Arctic drift ice is also of major importance to the country’s climate.” Modern data defines “normal” when the drift ice spreading from Greenland is 90 to 150 kilometers from the northwest coast, “mild” when it is 200 to 240 kms. Severe is closer than 90 kms.
