In 1616, Pope Paul V weighed in on the important issue of geocentricism. Scientists who refused to admit that Earth was the center of the Universe paid a heavy price.
Four hundred years later Pope Francis has weighed in on the equally important issue of CO2centricism. He understands that 97% of scientists believe CO2 controls all phenomena, and overrides all other physical laws.

Stranded, they dig up troves of Antarctic data
Rescued scientists bring back a warning about changes at the southern ice cap
Media interest in the expedition faded after the rescue, but in the year since expedition leader Chris Turney and his team have been busy. Scientific samples and measurements from the voyage are being turned into research papers that reveal striking changes at the southern ice cap. And rather than feeling discouraged about expeditions that are funded by paying passengers, Mr. Turney is more enthusiastic than ever.
“Once we got back home and made sure everyone was all right, we got on with working up the data and getting a whole load of papers ready for submission,” he said.
Like the rescue mission, this involved plenty of waiting. “It took nearly six months to get all the samples through quarantine.” Simple observations told unhappy stories. Trawls of water reeled in hauls of plastic rubbish, now seemingly ubiquitous in the world’s oceans. On land, counts of Adelie penguins revealed the population had slumped near Mawson’s huts in Commonwealth Bay in East Antarctica. The birds are now commuting 40 miles to get food for their young.
In other words, the amount of sea ice is increasing, so the penguins moved.
The area of Arctic sea ice is nearly identical to 30 years ago
Arctic sea ice is cyclically returning to the NSIDC cherry-picked date of 1979
The area of sea ice on Earth has moved into unprecedented territory. When it was declining, they blamed it on global warming. Now that it is increasing, they blame it on global warming.
The amount of solar energy in Antarctica is at its peak for the year, so the record amount of ice is having maximum cooling effect on the planet
All of these things are the exact opposite of what experts forecast. Hansen predicted peak sea ice loss in the Weddell Sea, right where the peak gain has occurred.
Look for them to continue to lie about this for as long as they can get away with it.
December 26 global sea ice area is second highest on record. The exact opposite of what experts both predicted and report.

I’m in San Diego where everyone is complaining about the cold. The weather seems pretty close to perfect here, as I am headed to this nonsense in Colorado and New Mexico for the next week.
10-Day Temperature Outlook for the Conterminous U.S.
The US and Europe are facing near record cold like in 1977-1979, and NOAA is about to announce that 2014 is the “hottest year ever”
Hardly a day goes by without expert comments like this appearing in comment sections, like this one from yesterday.
All reported warming in the US over the past 25 years is due to infilling fabricated data.
USHCN has 1,218 stations in their database. Prior to 1990, they typically recorded temperatures at about 97% of these stations. But for some reason, USHCN has been reporting monthly temperatures at a smaller and smaller percentage of stations since 1990, and now about 30% of monthly temperatures are completely missing.
What NCDC does in those cases, is to fabricate temperatures for the missing stations. The graph below shows the percentage of stations which have fabricated data, which is increasing in a hockey stick.
The station data being fabricated is dominantly from rural stations, which are being infilled with surrounding urban stations
Fake temperatures are marked with an “E” in their final database, as seen below in the 2008-2011 January-June data for Cadiz, Ohio.
Nearly 40% of the 2014 final temperatures are marked with an “E” – which is even larger than the 29% percentage of stations which are completely fake. This indicates that they are also making up temperatures for a large number of stations which actually do have thermometer data.
After a mostly lackluster 2014, Obama was able to score a series of wins in the last six weeks by going on the offensive with a string of executive actions, a hitherto-secret plan to normalize relations with Cuba and a satisfying compromise on the omnibus.
“He doesn’t feel constrained anymore,” said Steve Elmendorf, the prominent Democratic lobbyist and veteran of Capitol Hill. “I think he felt constrained before the election, a little too constrained, to protect vulnerable senators. Now he has a little more breathing room.”
A former senior administration official said that a more confident Obama has emerged since the midterm dustup: the one who hates to lose. While political pundits and others in the Beltway have been portraying him as a lame duck, Obama has fought back against that notion, the official said.
“The most remarkable trait of Barack Obama is that he’s always had a confidence about him regardless of political wins or what pundits are saying,” the former official said.

Apparently the emperor is only concerned about what the peasants in this Republic think ahead of elections, and the author of this article believes that having NYPD officers executed is a political victory for the President.
And Obama’s approval rating is down from election day.
Just in case you forgot for a minute that progressives are completely insane.
A couple of years ago Jennifer Francis started the “polar vortex caused by missing Arctic ice” scam, and this year White House science czar John Holdren took the lead on that particular scam.
The US and Europe are about to get slammed with major blasts of cold, and there isn’t any missing Arctic ice. Yet another climate scam dies a rapid death.
As long as academics are paid to make up fake climate theories, they will continue to crank out more of them.
Climate experts warn that the North Pole is melting faster than expected, and Santa Claus is about to drown and cause civilization to collapse.
A fascinating theory, given that Christmas Day Arctic sea ice area is almost identical to 30 years ago.
There appears to be no limits to how far the climate scumbags will go to keep their religion alive.
