Apparently multi-day drinking binges followed by getting stuck in the ice is “navigating responsibly.”
A few weeks ago they were worried about saving the ice and the Polar Bears. Now they are worried about saving themselves from the ice and the Polar Bears.
Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

The Arctic is screaming
- Mark Serreze 2007
Experts predicted the Arctic will be ice-free again this year. Instead we are looking at the likelihood of one of the highest summer minimums of the decade.

The Bremen graph above agrees pretty closely with my measurements from OSISAF maps.
The White House wants to prosecute anyone who believes the Arctic isn’t ice-free.
The average maximum temperature anomaly in the US during July was just about average.
The percent of US HCN stations to reach 100 degrees was well below average.
The percent of days above 100 degrees was also below average. 
Climate experts tell us this is the hottest year ever.
The Green Party wants to “end fossil fuels.”
This would mean empty grocery stores within hours. No food, transportation, heat, light or communications. Civilization would collapse within days, and billions would be dead within months. Every tree would be cut down, and the air would be thick with smoke from people burning things to keep warm. And from there, it would only get worse.
Jill Stein wants to sue Exxon for supplying a product which Jill Stein, and almost everybody else on the planet, depend on for their day to day survival.
Before she kills 99.99% of the people on the planet, Jill wants to sue Exxon for saying the same thing in the 1970’s and 1980’s that NOAA was saying.

For climate scientists, no acceleration means dangerous acceleration.
And where exactly is Bolder, Colorado?
Tide gauges show no acceleration. In fact sea level has fallen over the past six years along the East coast.
Bernie Sanders has never held a real job in his life, and didn’t hold any job until he was 40. Last week he sold out at the DNC, and his wife recently took a $200,000 severance package from Burlington College – which shut down on July 31 after she bankrupted it, and the students walked away with nothing.
Big surprise – he just bought a $600,000 home.
On this date 80 years ago, it was 119 degrees at Meeker, Oklahoma – just west of Oklahoma City. Kansas, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, South Dakota and Missouri all reported temperatures over 110 that day.
The hottest official temperature ever recorded was 134 in California during 1913 – which NASA says was one of the 10 coldest years on record.
People who say that greenhouse gases don’t warm the atmosphere, shouldn’t use microwave ovens. Because they believe that “a cooler object can not warm a warmer object.”
Microwave ovens use the same principle as the greenhouse effect – generating heat by absorption of electromagnetic radiation. Astonishing that some people are incapable of accepting the basic science which they take advantage of every day.
The troposphere has a fairly linear temperature gradient. If you increase the temperature in the upper troposphere by adding greenhouse gases, you will necessarily raise the temperature in the lower troposphere too. The entire line will shift upwards.
This has been known for a very long time. Only a total scientific illiterate would claim that they don’t. So called “skeptics” who dispute this, damage the credibility of actual skeptical scientists.
When James Hansen started the big global warming scam during the summer of 1988, he was 99% certain that the heatwave that summer was due to global warming.
His Bold Statement Transforms the Debate On Greenhouse Effect – NYTimes.com
His testimony before Congress came during the last really hot summer in the US. Peak temperatures had already declined substantially since the 1930’s, but they plummeted further since he announced that he was certain global warming was causing the heatwave.
On August 9, 1936 Du Quoin, Illinois was 113 degrees. But since Hansen testified, there have only been three years where they made it barely over 100. Peak temperatures in Du Quoin have dropped about one degree per decade since the 1930’s.
In the Washington D.C. area (outside of the Urban Heat Island) 100 degree days have been almost non-existent since 1988.
Setting the threshold to 90 degrees in rural Indiana shows the same thing.
Hansen, like all the rest of his climate buddies have absolutely no clue what they are talking about – so they mask it with baseless claims of certainty.
Not to mention that Hansen’s 1988 testimony was a fraud from day one.
Believe it or not, we called the Weather Bureau and found out what historically was the hottest day of the summer.
What we did it was went in the night before and opened all the windows, I will admit, right? So that the air conditioning wasn’t working inside the room and so when the, when the hearing occurred there was not only bliss, which is television cameras in double figures, but it was really hot. … So Hansen’s giving this testimony, you’ve got these television cameras back there heating up the room, and the air conditioning in the room didn’t appear to work. So it was sort of a perfect collection of events that happened that day, with the wonderful Jim Hansen, who was wiping his brow at the witness table and giving this remarkable testimony. …
