A few weeks ago, the EPA caused the largest toxic waste spill in US history.

By the numbers: The massive toll of the Animas River spill

The number of gallons of heavy metal filled wastewater the U.S. Geological Survey says spilled into the Animas River. That’s about 60,000 bathtubs full.

The bright discoloration was an obvious flag that something was awry in the river. But the EPA was sluggish with information in the aftermath, as residents worried about possible damage to their health, and businesses on the river shut down.

12,000 That’s how many times higher than normal the level of lead was in one water sample tested from the Animas River shortly after the spill.

Lead poisoning is tricky, because at low levels, it can be hard to detect. It can slow down child development and cause learning disabilities, the Mayo Clinic says.

Lead is just one of the many heavy metals released, and it’s not the deadliest. The wastewater also contained extremely high levels of arsenic, cadmium, beryllium and mercury. It also contained zinc, iron and copper.

So how did EPA respond to their own spectacular incompetence? By suing Volkswagen for using software that increases gas mileage.

Disabling the emissions controls brought major advantages, including much better mileage — a big selling point in Volkswagen’s push to dominate in America.

Volkswagen shares declined about 34 percent last week, and the company faces penalties of as much as $18 billion from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Did I ever mention that progressives are completely insane?

What caused the Dust Bowl?

This is a case where humans took control of the climate

American Dust Bowl

Progressives believe that a few farmers in the Oklahoma Panhandle caused the world-wide drought of 1934.

12 Jun 1934 – WORLD-WIDE DROUGHT.

Three years ago, NASA’s #1 moron said that Canada was going to destroy the planet

GLOBAL warming isn’t a prediction. It is happening. That is why I was so troubled to read a recent interview with President Obama in Rolling Stone in which he said that Canada would exploit the oil in its vast tar sands reserves “regardless of what we do.”

If Canada proceeds, and we do nothing, it will be game over for the climate.

That is the long-term outlook. But near-term, things will be bad enough. Over the next several decades, the Western United States and the semi-arid region from North Dakota to Texas will develop semi-permanent drought

Extremely hot summers have increased noticeably. We can say with high confidence that the recent heat waves in Texas and Russia, and the one in Europe in 2003, which killed tens of thousands, were not natural events — they were caused by human-induced climate change.

Let’s examine his claims. The region from Texas to North Dakota is much wetter than normal.

The wheat and corn belts are getting wetter over time, and droughts are becoming less common and less severe.

The 2011 heatwave in Texas was a one shot anomaly. Heatwaves have been on the decline in Texas since the 1920s.

There has been no change in the frequency of heatwaves in Europe

Hansen has absolutely no clue what he is talking about, yet works tirelessly to damage the lives of billions of people around the world.

27 Jun 1902 – Drought.

This image shows the insanity of greens more succinctly than anything that could be written on the topic.

Heidi Cullen claims that summers in Bloomington, Indiana are going to get very hot, averaging well over 90 degrees.

Her claim is 100% fraudulent, with no basis in science or reality.

Summer maximum temperatures have been plummeting at Bloomington, Indiana.

The frequency of 90 degree days has been plummeting at Bloomington, Indiana.

The duration of heatwaves has been plummeting at Bloomington, Indiana.

So is Bloomington a fluke? No. All of Indiana shows the same pattern. Summer maximum temperatures have been plummeting.

The percent of days over 90 degrees has been plummeting in Indiana.

The duration of heatwaves has been plummeting at Bloomington, Indiana.

94% of long-term Indiana stations set their all-time record maximum temperature before 1960.

This wasn’t caused by a few hot days, the heat used to be prevalent all summer. The vast majority of Indiana summer daily maximum temperature records were set before 1960.

Even massively tampered NOAA data shows that summer afternoons in Indiana  used to be much hotter.

NOAA tries to assist in this fraud, via a hockey stick of data tampering, but the cooling has been so sharp that even NOAA can’t hide it.

Twenty-nine billion dollars a year of White House climate scam money buys a massive amount of fraud from both the private and public sectors, where people compete to tell the biggest lie about the climate.

On February 6, 1851 Melbourne was 117 F at 8 AM. CO2 was at a very safe 280 PPM, and government climate criminals say that heatwaves were basically impossible with CO2 that low.

17 Jan 1857 – BLACK THURSDAY.

Climate criminal James Hansen of NASA spread flagrant lies about this topic.

Extreme Heat Is Covering More of the Earth, a Study Says – The New York Times

Heatwaves were far more extensive prior to 1960. Hansen is claiming the exact opposite of the actual data, as all government climate criminals do.

Heidi Cullen boldly claims that Indiana summers are going to average well over 90 degrees in the future.

Data shows that the exact opposite is happening. In the 19th century, one day out of ten in Indiana was over ninety degrees, but now only one day over 30 is over ninety degrees. The frequency of hot days is plummeting in Indiana. The exact opposite of Heidi Cullen’s lies is happening.

I will be landing in Indianapolis in a few minutes. How do Heidi Cullen and Climate Central get away with such flagrant anti-science fraud?

My two week experiment in Maryland without a car is coming to an end today. I used a city bus to get from my apartment in Boulder to the Denver airport, and have used only my bicycle, trains, DC Metro and an occasional taxi to get around in Maryland.

Other than the train/pedestrian disaster a week ago Monday everything has worked perfectly. I have saved over two hundred dollars by not renting a car and not parking at the airport. I have also gotten to know a lot of passengers and train conductors.

This picture of John John and his girlfriend Natalie was taken moments before he was hit by the train. It was their first anniversary photo.

This was them out by the lake, where I go canoeing.

I ran some experiments at the station where the accident occurred, and you can’t hear passenger trains coming towards you if they don’t blow their horn or ring their bell.

John John, rest in peace. Everyone tells me what an incredible kid you were.

The US hasn’t been hit by a major (winds higher than 120 MPH) hurricane for nine years and eleven months, and the US has never been hit by a major hurricane during autumn of an El Nino year. So it appears that we are headed for close to eleven years without a major hurricane. This blows way all previous records.

Carbon polluters should be given huge tax credits for the negative social cost of carbon.
