In the year 1027 King Canute commanded the seas to stop rising, to show his subjects that there are limits to his power.
Fast forward to Barack Obama, 2008. He was certain that he slowed the rise of the seas in 2008.
I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal
- Barack Obama June 3rd, 2008
The chart below shows how he did.
Obama was as successful as King Canute, but the difference is that Canute knew exactly what he was doing, while Obama is delusional and clueless.
And Canute was actually a king.
Or does the hated king-wannabe know what he Is doing? He certainly makes absurdity seem normal.
Delusional, clueless, or moron, he sure is having his way with all of us. I’d submit to you that the truly delusional clueless morons are the people who voted him back in and the others who think someone with an “R” after his name would be any better. GW and then Barry expanded the hell out of government and executive powers. Just like Hill and Bill, the R’s can’t wait to get control of it.
I think it depends on who it is that has an “R” after their name. There are a couple that aren’t “establishment Republicans” that would be quite different from the rest. While any and all of those that have a “D” after their name will be another disaster.
What makes you think he doesn’t know what he’s doing?
He’s on a win/win bet. When we don’t melt from heat he says “I succeeded”. If the scam is seen as such by society as a whole, he says “I trusted those evil scientists, President Eisenhower was right and the scientists took over policy”
And maybe (HAHAHA) “we’ll have to punish those evil scientists.”
You are correct. The scientists do not realize it is their hind end waving in the breeze. The politicians can always use plausible denial, pointy fingers and sacrificial lambs as they have done many times in the past.
Gail, HELP please, or anyone else, Steve?
I do not want my tail hanging in the wind when I write a response to the local paper
(serves all of southern MN) The title “North Pole 50 degrees above Normal”
Very sad in an extreme mispresentation
But what I need is verification that the article which went nuts in the MSM,
originated with temps at North Pole Alaska
Since Copernicus reported in 1543 Earth moves in orbit about the Sun – a giant furnace at the gravitational center of the solar system – wannabee dictators (religious, political and “scientific”) have tried to hide this ego-deflating reality from the public:
The furnace is 133,000 times more massive than the third spec of dirt that orbits it. The Sun is the Creator and Sustainer of every atom life and planet in the solar system.
Has there been any news on varying frost caps on Mars and Titan?
When birth control pills came out in the 60s the second derivative of population growth changed sign. That point of inflection may yet save humanity from the certain mass death exponential population growth has always meant for every species.
Do not forget modern civilization as a birth control method. The EU USA, Canada, Australia all have birth rates below replacement rate especially if you remove immigrants from the statistics.
COUNTRY COMPARISON :: TOTAL FERTILITY
In poor subsistence farming communities, children are an economic asset as either free labor or as labor to be sold as slaves or ‘domestic help’ In advanced countries children are a tremendous economic liability. The average cost of raising a child born in 2013 up until age 18 for a middle-income family in the U.S. is approximately $250,000 or around $14,000 a year. Two kids are going to cost ~$30,000 a year and that puts a big dent into the finances of a middle class family.
This is all about physics – heat transfers – thermodynamics. Most climatologists are not qualified in physics and do not understand entropy maximization, thermodynamics or heat transfer mechanisms.
There is no valid physics which can be used to show water vapor and carbon dioxide causing the Earth’s surface to be warmer. Correct, verifiable physics can be used to prove they cool. The AGW hypothesis and the “heat creep” hypothesis are mutually exclusive: only one can be right. The latter is supported by empirical evidence and experiments, as well as by the Second Law of Thermodynamics; the former is not supported by anything and easily refuted with correct physics, because the solar radiation reaching the surfaces of Earth and Venus is far too short of the mark and cannot possibly explain observed temperatures. Furthermore, there is no valid physics that claims (as the IPCC et al do) that radiation can be compounded and the sum of back radiation and solar radiation used in Stefan-Boltzmann calculations to explain the 288K estimated mean surface temperature of Earth, or the 735K mean surface temperature of Venus, which would need flux of about 20,000W/m^2. That is why I can confidently offer AU $10,000 for proving me wrong, subject to the conditions on my blog.

Politicians use to say whatever they find convenient to say, depending on what they want to achieve (votes most of the time), sometimes without having the necessary knowledge on that subject. I saw so many politicians who don’t even understand the meaning of climate change, so I give up. I guess they cannot surprise me anymore….
