Britain faces years of freezing winters because global warming is causing Arctic Sea ice to melt, researchers have found.
Freezing winters ahead due to melting Arctic Sea ice – Telegraph
The exact opposite of what they were saying a few years ago
The apple orchards have been replaced with orange groves, the turf covered over with gravel and the summer borders replanted with cacti. They may look like scenes from a Portugese holiday, but these images could be the future of the traditional English garden, plant experts claimed yesterday. The striking images are part of a National Trust campaign to highlight how gardens will look if global warming brings Mediterranean weather to Britain in the next few decades.
So when the Arctic recovers to the point that they can no longer deny it, and the cold winters continue, what excuse will they use next? And will anyone (other than skeptics) call them out on their continued failed predictions?
1. They will just say that the Arctic cold is localized in time and space, and they will point out areas where the “adjusted” temperatures are extremely high compared to historical baselines. Naturally, these will be in places that do not normally get a lot of snow or ice in the winter, so it will be less obvious to the untrained eye that the “adjustments” are fake.
2. I don’t even see many skeptics calling them out right now in a serious way, so I guess the answer would have to be “no, if nothing changes.” We need to be holding rallies so people can network; pickets of the major miscreants, so we can show how many are willing to publicly face these people and accuse them; passing hard-copy petitions and delivering millions of hard-copy signatures to officials; all at the same time, in addition to our online activities. Otherwise, we’re just not going to get enough people on board. I’ve been saying this for a couple of years now. It appears that no one agrees with me. Too bad. Conservatives are smart people, but it seems they really are very lousy at the skills they need to keep the Marxists at bay. Most of them seem to think someone else should do it for them. Well, guess what. There is no one else. We can vote, but we cannot just vote our way out of this problem. We don’t yet have enough people to do that.

“In November research showed there is less Arctic sea ice now than there has been at any time in the last 1,450 years.” (‘The Telegraph’ article.)
What research?
Sounds like somebody just made that up in order to justify the next round of grant money!

Alarmists going into overdrive on the climate propaganda prior to the Election.
With the Ebola crisis consuming 99% of news, climate catastrophists have no chance cutting through. Doesn’t stop their hand wringing, even when it is complete crap.
The UK is about to be hit by a very big storm this week, by the look of the North Atlantic sat photos
But ebola warming is causing the ice in Antarctica to freeze even more even though it is super hot down there! See?
Viruses are amazing creatures. 🙂
But our government isn’t. Seems the CDC director has really P.O’ed the Nurses Union. “..the nation’s largest nurse’s union is concerned about the lack of Ebola preparedness at U.S. hospitals and has reportedly put the option of pickets on the table…” link
Seems the nurses have a darn good reason to be concerned too:
http://www.vox.com/2014/10/12/6964581/ebola-texas-infected-hospital-worker-nurse-biocontamination-units
That makes Obummer’s refusal to close the borders or quarantine complete idiocy. We have exactly four hospitals with the correct equipment and properly trained personnel to handle Ebola in the entire country. And we have a CDC that Oked the travel plans of an exposed nurse who was running a temperature and has been giving all sorts of conflicting advice and stories.
I’m not normally pro-union but it is in everyone’s interest to avoid accidental contamination. Nurses have a right to the best safety equipment we can get them.
In some cases, like needing to check power cords on office equipment every 6 months, it’s safety gone to complete bullshit. There seems to be a shorting of common sense to go around.
But now we have two new infections that happened inside a medical facility from just one patient. That’s unacceptable, the entire chain of command at that hospital should lose their jobs just on principle… or at least a few of them should.
(The following FUBAR by the FEDS should scare anyone with any brains.)
Tel, the responsibility was the CDC’s and Obama’s. The hospital personnel were not trained and did not have bio-containment level 4 rooms, equipment, air handling or training.
In a statement from National Nurses United on the treatment of Dallas Ebola patient, they say We Were Told to Call Authorities for Ebola Protocol
What they got was the usual bureaucratic CYA and runaround, not the information and equipment they desperately needed.
FINALLY after the Nurses’ Union threatens to picket hospitals and sends a letter to the White House, Obummer finally leaves the golf course and does his job.
There are only FOUR hospitals in the USA with the proper equipment and specialized training and drills. Dallas is not one of them.
* CDC had a duty to know the training and capabilities of the hospitals they did not.
* CDC had the duty to know how to treat this disease safely and to make sure the hospitals had that information. CDC did not.
* The CDC director, Thomas Frieden said to handle it as a level 2 when it is listed as a level 4. This P.C. incompetent even said no head gear or foot gear was needed to treat Duncan just a single pair of gloves!
Can you get any more incompetent than that? And then when the first nurse becomes ill he turns around an accuses her of a breach in protocol. That is when the Nurses Union went ballistic and broke from the P.C. Obama worshipping herd. (They urged members to vote for Obummer BTW.)
CDC had the statutory authority and the DUTY to step in and place a highly qualified individual in charge of the Dallas fiasco. They did not.
In the first real crisis this nation has faced Obama was out on the golf course, and I mean that literally instead of doing his job. ONLY when a Union started screeching did he actually step in and start doing his job.
Meanwhile the press is busy blaming Republicans for budget cuts to the CDC. (Cuts Obama purposed while Republicans INCREASED the amount) When that backfired they blamed Gov. Perry.
(wwwDOT)vox.com/2014/10/12/6964671/ebola-budget-cuts-emergency-preparedness/in/5712456
(note the cuts came in the two years the Democrats had full control) Also the CDC made the allocation and NOT Congress.
The Congressional allocation:

Yea, but they can stop Ebola in it’s tracks. And we wash our hands here so no worries. It’s so hard to catch Ebola that people in hazmat suits must be really sloppy. …
The government is determined to get rid of us. They’ve lost the debate on climate change, so now they brought in Ebola. There have been Ebola outbreaks before. I skip all the in between stuff and look at the result. The end result of CAGW is to shut us down. There is no new technology to replaced FF. And the asinine statements by the CDC are also in line. In fact the CDC used the same exact wording as the CAGW people on the expanding ice in Antarctica, when the nurses came down ill…. ” it’s what we expected..”
The thing about Ebola, it waits for them too. It reminds me of the French revolution when they were cutting heads off by the dozens. One guy who had sent a bunch of people to their deaths was also caught up in the frenzy, and on his way to have his height lowered, he called out to the guy who sent him there ” the guillotine waits for you too” I used to know it in French but have forgotten
Tel says: “…I’m not normally pro-union but it is in everyone’s interest to avoid accidental contamination. Nurses have a right to the best safety equipment we can get them….”
Tel, I completely agree. I saw this at the NYT:
Changes to Ebola Protection Worn by U.S. Hospital Workers
The CDC was recommending Level 1 – one pair of gloves, no cover knees down, no shoe cover, no full face cover just mask and goggles! The medics in Africa Catching the disease were using Level 4!
I hope the nurses involved sue the crap out of CDC Director Tom Frieden! This level of incompetence is criminal and should be treated as such. Frieden better pray both of those nurses recover and no one else comes down with Ebola due to the CDC’s mishandling of the problem.
The newest from Huff ‘n Puff: Tom Frieden Admits Officials Don’t Know How Ebola Transmission Occurred
Sorry for keep bringing this up but it is a great weapon against the shear idiocy of this Admin. and it could not have happened at a better time for Republicans. Most people can understand that the CDC did not do the minimum required to protect Americans and that during this crisis Obama was playing golf… Literally!
Obama Plays 200th Round of Golf as 2nd Ebola Case Emerges He was on his way to play golf when the Duncan Ebola news broke too and interupted his plans for about ten minutes to make a phone call and then off to the golf course he went.
Can’t find the original link but Flopping Aces sums it up nicely:

The nurses didn’t wash their hands. That’s how the director of the CDC described “stopping Ebola in it’s tracks” . These people are beyond stupid. Hi, I just worked with an Ebola patient, don’t feel well, and I think I’ll get on an airplane. I find the level of craziness to be over the top. She had to ask? No level of concern for anybody. And evidently not even for her family. I’d send her to Plum Island.
There is a large area of low pressure in mid-Atlantic. Nothing special, nothing unusual, and nothing spectacular expected to be spawned from it that would have any notable bearing on the weather in the Former UK, despite what the alarmist main-stream media would have everyone believe.
Mind you, the Met Office will no doubt be labelling the milder temperatures resulting from the south-westerly flow that will become established, as “extreme”.
For sixty-four years government successfully deceived the public before Climategate emails finally revealed the fraud in Nov 2009.
http://omanuel.wordpress.com/about/
Thanks to Climategate and official responses to clear evidence of deceit, we now know unreported CHAOS and FEAR of nuclear annihilation in Aug-Sept 1945 allowed Stalin to emerge victorious from WWII and form the United Nations in Oct 1945 to expand totalitarian rule from the USSR to the entire globe.

Their propaganda and lies, have to change with the weather. That’s why they decided to simply call it climate change. No matter what Mother Nature serves up, it is our fault! 😉
Wait a minute! I’m looking at the picture above and I’m seeing PARADISE. Maybe we need to rethink CAGW. sarc/off
Why do you think I moved from MA/NH border to mid NC?
Coldest UK winter since satellite measurements of Arctic Sea Ice began? Looks like 1979 to me :
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/climate-anomalies/#?tab=climateAnomalies
So where was the globally-warmed melted sea ice in 1979?
Link defaults to January mean maximum temperatures, but you can easily change it to winter mean temperatures. It doesn’t show anything different. If anything, it re-enforces the point.

meanwhile Down Under
New South Wales in Australia has been hit by a freak snow storm leaving thousands of people without power and motorists stranded in floodwater.
Gale force winds whipped up surf with six-metre waves off the coast of Sydney, while all flights in and out of Sydney airport were cancelled, delayed or were diverted.
The storm blanketed the Blue Mountains with snow and the State Emergency Service said it had received 1,629 calls for assistance, 73 from people stranded in floodwaters.

The youtube context suggests that global warming has a strong rival in pole shift as the cause of these events.
The journalists can’t help themselves! They just have to include some unsubstantiated claim that ‘this has been caused by climate change, etc.etc.! Not the slightest bit of evidence to support that contention.
So – one year ago – high temperatures and bushfires. Again, wild claims made by the usual suspects!
As usual, Joanne Nova has it covered: http://joannenova.com.au/2014/10/global-warming-dumps-late-snow-in-australia-fires-one-year-rain-the-next/
For all those interrested in dissecting the propaganda the ‘IPCC Working Group II Contribution to AR5’ update has been released. Available at http://ipcc-wg2.gov/AR5/ and as a 96Mb pdf download.
The embedded video is pure gobbledegook.
LOL, Figure TS.5 shows that current temps are below the latest IPCC model prediction cone.
Gah, Box TS.5 Figure 1 shows the current temps below the IPCC model cone, side-by-side with the horrible red thermometer figure that Mickey Mann used in his Bristol talk.
Indeed.
I also notice that the document has even more cartoons for pretend scientist than before.
Cant wait for that CO2 to warm things up a bit, sure do need it right now.
But even IPCC HC4 modeled world does see any till 2050 (maybe)

Is the answer
a) It’s changed due to an advancement in science meaning new evidence shows we were wrong
b) We’re making it up as we go along
