Over the last two years, the consequences of 150 years of fossil-fuel development have materialized with a vengeance. The U.S. has experienced the worst drought in 80 years, replete with unprecedented Western fires and fears of widespread crop failure. This on the heels of record-breaking U.S. spring temperatures, with record daily highs outpacing record daily lows at a staggering pace of 12:1 since the start of the year. This on the heels of record U.S. flooding throughout the Mississippi basin last year. These examples reflect only the U.S. experience, in a world where record-breaking extreme weather is becoming the norm.
Three ways to change the climate, in 2012 and beyond | Grist
In order to maintain their religion, the faithful have determined that it is OK to fabricate as many bogus statistics as their little minds can generate.
The drought is nowhere near record breaking or even particularly unusual.
Contiguous U.S., Palmer Modified Drought Index (PMDI), September-August 1896-2012
Last year’s floods were not record breaking. The fire count this year is 25% below normal. The corn crop is the eighth largest on record in the US. Most of the record highs which the author refers to were from stations which didn’t exist in the 1930s. Hurricane and tornado strikes are near historic lows, and there isn’t the slightest indication that global weather extremes are abnormal.
The religious faithful have created an inane mythology, which will be viewed in the future as an exceptional blip in human stupidity. These flaming morons actually believe that they have the capability to change the imaginary climate which they have created in their minds.
How about starting with something simpler, like balancing the budget and getting unemployment below eight percent?
Well, they are manipulating the unemployment numbers to create a false reality just like the climate records.
Being on the government dole is now considered full employment.
We should all be unemployed. Pelosi says there is no faster way to double GDP!

And the White House agrees

Well we recently had our glorious prime minister in a room full of economists explain that our economy was healthy because lots of new government jobs will be created soon… OK…
The Climate Liars have no shame. Most of them are psychopaths and will do or say anything to impose their insane religion (much like Islam) on us all. Violence is not beyond them, so don’t be shocked if they start using it. They have seen how easily western politicians surrender to Muslim riots.
Bill Clinton’s legacy.
It is hard not to see the solid connections, in both spirit and the times, between these lies on the part of “environmentalists” and the strategy of lies (and self-delusion) of both Islamic jihadists and angry black activists. They (the Insane Left) see lying has worked well for the latter two, for a long time, since the ’60s, and spectacularly well for Obama and all who work for him, and they see a climax imminent — all or nothing — so they will continue to double down as long as possible. It is also exactly like the child who insists, “NO NO NO, I didn’t (break the jelly jar/spill milk all over the kitchen floor/mix soap flakes in the dog’s food, causing him to ruin the carpet/etc.)!!!” Welcome to “The Lord of the Flies”, for real — barbarian spoiled children in positions of power/authority and leadership.
When this is all over..(soon,surely), the famous treatise “Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds” will need a new chapter.
NPR ran this 4 year old propaganda this morning like it was a new report…

Dishonest, deceptive, drivel.
Lying is SOP for the left.
Creeps.
They have destroyed all of their credibility. Whenever I hear anything from an alarmist, I assume they are lying until proven otherwise.

Regrettably, I cannot agree that “The religious faithful have created an inane mythology, which will be viewed in the future as an exceptional blip in human stupidity.” Rather, I foresee a new Dark Ages where reality is firmly denied for the sake of the New Religion’s doctrines. AGW pseudo-science is already a dictated part of the national science curriculum, and the hoaxers are largely in control of the scientific establishment.
The greatest sociological development of the 20th Century is the willingness of liberals to BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVE! The Main Stream Media, as predicted by Orwell, reinforce these false beliefs in the masses every day. This penchant for deliberate self-delusion explains many current phenomena, including why Obama has a good chance for reelection. Living in delusion must inevitably lead to a major decline in civilization, perhaps an Orwellian dystopia. Eventually the world will be cleansed of the Holy Doctrines of Liberalism, but only at the cost of substantial human suffering over many years.
I believe we are heading towards the new Dark Ages. The anti-science rabble (Climate Liars/Muslims/Leftists) are hell bent on wiping out free speech, freedom of thought, and democracy. And they can do it given thr right set of circumstances – perhaps another 1930s economic type catastrophe.
A Dark Ages is a possibility, but we might evade it thanks to AGW. Scrutiny of the AGW movement is bringing to light a subculture and a Weltanschauung that too many people were only dimly aware of – or dismissed too easily. Now when the lights go out, they’ll know where to look – now that the Pod People of the Left have drawn so much attention to themselves.
Hoist by their own ineluctable silliness – that’s almost one for the ages.
“The most widespread and severe drought conditions occurred in the 1930s and 1950s (Andreadis et al., 2005). The early 2000s were also characterized by severe droughts in some areas, notably in the western United States. When averaged across the entire United States (Figure 2.6), there is no clear tendency for a trend based on the PDSI. Similarly, long-term trends (1925-2003) of hydrologic droughts based on model derived soil moisture and runoff show that droughts have, for the most part, become shorter, less frequent, and cover a smaller portion of the U. S. over the last century (Andreadis and Lettenmaier, 2006). The main exception is the Southwest and parts of the interior of the West, where increased temperature has led to rising drought trends (Groisman et al., 2004; Andreadis and Lettenmaier, 2006). The trends averaged over all of North America since 1950 (Figure 2.6) are similar to U.S. trends for the same period, indicating no overall trend.”

That has so many graphs that bring frowns or bring laughs
And they need to be taken apart
But the volumes are such that it seems a bit much
Lots of fun here — but where does one start?
They sure hope to bring frights with their “very warm nights”
There were none, they say, since ’47
But for 2003, they’ve erupted with glee
“See my new extreme graph! It’s like heaven!”

Steven,
What has happened to the honest researchers who just are looking to find answers?
Current scientists have sold their souls to keep the consensus together no matter what crap is published to fool the masses.

Remember this before voting.
Grist never lies; its pods sincerely & earnestly believe everything they write. Never ascribe to mendaciousness what can as easily be chalked up to feeble-mindedness and religious mania.
