10 Jan 1871 – IMAGINARY CHANGES OF CLIMATE. (Pall Mall Gazette.)
When Gavin claims “hottest September ever” – he is making the identical mistake which people have been making throughout history.
Much observation, which ought to correct a tendency to exaggerate, seems in some minds to have rather a tendency to increase it.

Al Gore and the UN’s IPCC were the first Nobel Prize winners for such nonsense!
1871, like it was yesterday!

‘The world’s weather has been
specialising in droughts,’ . says Dr.
E; E. Free in the New York ‘Times.’

United States damage is estimated….

Jo Nova has another update on Ebola. – Not good. (now there are three cases in Dallas and it looks as if it is airborne.)
Ebola is potentially airborne
I hope our government get off their duff but I doubt it. The head of the CDC is more of an idiot than Obummer. He is now saying booties and double gloves are not needed for health workers. Ebola is level 4 and CDC is recommending level 2 containment. The Nurses Union is up in arms.
Talk about a complete Fluster Cluck. In addition to those who clean airplanes plumbers are getting worried too. Looks like Obummer and the DemiRats maybe losing Union support in bits and pieces.

Maybe they should have spent their cash on carbon credits!!
Nothing ruins truth like stretching it.

If the words don’t add up, truth probably wasn’t part of the equation.
