Less than two years ago, officials in the Democratic People’s Republic Of Austin predicted that Lake Travis would run dry by 2016.
At current rates of inflow, Lake Travis will be full within ten days
If you are a government official, the fastest way to make a fool of yourself is to heed the advice of your local climate expert – like Andrew Dessler or Katherine Hayhoe.

On Memorial Day eighty years ago, Texas received twenty-two inches of rain in less than three hours – the world record. CO2 was 304 PPM at the time.
Climate experts tell us that much less intense rainfalls this year in Texas are caused by 400 PPM CO2. Because they are clowns, not scientists.

Four years ago, Andrew Dessler of Texas A&M said Texas would be hot and dry for the rest of the century
He massively failed on both counts
Since he made that forecast, Texas temperatures have cyclically plummeted. Before data tampering by NCDC, Texas shows no indication of a human influence on climate.
Texas Governor Rick Perry said in 2011.
The rains will return – they always do
He was massively ridiculed by Dessler and others for stating the obvious.
Climate experts are utterly clueless buffoons. They operate based on superstition, rather than science – which is why President Obama calls them “our best scientists”
Four years ago, climate fraudster Joe Romm announced the start of the southwest permanent drought
Dust Storm Marks Beginning of Southwest’s “Permanent Drought” | The Energy Collective
As is always the case with climate alarmists, he had no idea what he was talking about. The southwest has been wetter than normal for the past two years.
These utterly clueless scamsters are the people President Obama describes as “our best scientists”
Today, climate alarmists say that rain in Texas is caused by fossil fueled poisoned weather.
These same clowns were blaming the Texas drought on global warming, and predicting it would get worse.

The reality is that Texas is having normal weather.

Nothing has changed one iota. The climate of Texas is exactly the same as it has always been. These people are selling snake oil – a non-existent cure for a non-existent problem.
In 2001, the president, military and intelligence community were convinced that Saddam’s imaginary WMD’s were a threat to national security.
In 2015, the president, military and intelligence community are convinced that an essential trace gas spewing from this power plant, and feeding this organic farm, is a threat to national security.
In both cases, the president and 97% of experts were completely full of crap.

Unlike Obama, Bush never tried to criminalize dissent.
It is ridiculously cold here in Fort Collins, and May 25 temperatures have plummeted five degrees over the past century.
President Obama says that anyone who doesn’t believe his global warming lies, is a threat to national security.
In 1975, the National Academy Of Sciences published this graph, showing about 1°C warming in the Northern Hemisphere from 1885 to 1940, and that all 1900 to 1940 warming was lost by 1970.
GISS has since reduced the 1885 to 1940 warming by half, and reduced the 1940-1970 cooling by two thirds.
The next graph shows an overlay of the two at the same scale, normalized to 1905-1940
The animation below shows how they reduced both the pre-1940 warming, and the post-1940 cooling. Neither are explainable by global warming theory, so government experts made both largely disappear.
So which one is correct? In 1923, the Arctic was very warm and melting rapidly.
But in 1970, the Arctic was very cold, and ice was expanding rapidly.

The 1975 NAS graph makes sense. The Arctic melting when it is warm, and freezing when it is cold.
But what about the current GISS graph? It shows the Arctic melting when it is cold, and freezing when it is warm.
It is painfully obvious that the GISS temperatures are fraudulent, yet several prominent skeptics continue to enable this scam by pretending that the NASA/NOAA temperatures are somehow legitimate.
Brad Johnson calls heavy rain in Oklahoma “fossil fuel powered”
He is referring to this:
Data showed that Oklahoma City has measured its all-time wettest month ever recorded, as rain continued to fall, according to CNN meteorologist Sean Morris.
By late Saturday, 3.15 inches had drenched the city, bringing the one-month total to 17.61 inches. “It … shatters the all-time monthly record of 14.66 inches set in June of 1989,” said Morris.
Seventeen inches in one month is a lot, but on Memorial Day weekend 1935 – Colorado and and Texas both received more than 22 inches of rain in less than four hours.
Woodward Ranch, Texas (about 17 miles northwest of D’Hanis, which is 40 miles west of San Antonio) measured an amazing 10.00″ in 1 hour, 15.00″ in 2 hours and a world record 22.00″ in 2 hours and 45 minutes on May 31, 1935 between 3:00-6:00 a.m. This was an especially interesting event since, just hours earlier, a rain gauge in eastern Colorado (at a location 25 miles northeast of Colorado Springs) measured 24″ of rain in a 6-hour period between noon-6:00 p.m. May 30th (22.80″ of which fell in just 4 hours).
That 1935 storm was far more intense than any this month, and CO2 was much lower in 1935.
Blaming thunderstorms on fossil fuels is the work of morons or climate alarmists – but I repeat myself.
