White House Admits That They Intentionally Perverted Our System Of Government

They intentionally lied to Americans in order to pervert our system of government, because we are too stupid.

Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber said that lack of transparency was a major part of getting Obamacare passed because “the stupidity of the American voter” would have killed the law if more people knew what was in it.

One More Time

Cloudy and humid nights are warmer than clear and dry nights, largely because of the greenhouse effect. Nights in tropical climates are warm, while nights in the desert are cold. Longwave radiation coming down from greenhouse gas molecules warms the surface.

Why some people are unable to grasp this very simple concept is beyond my comprehension.

Red Is The New Blue

President Obama is very angry that the ignorant peasantry won’t listen to his warnings that they are overheating. They refuse to listen to the science, which speaks so clearly in Obama’s ear.

Last week America turned red, and this week America is turning blue.

Record Cold In Colorado

The forecast minimum for Fort Collins on Saturday is -1F, which would be the first November 15 below 0F ever recorded there. From my experience, temperatures usually come in several degrees colder than forecast there during Arctic cold snaps.

The warmest November 15’s were 1981 and 1949.

Experts say that below zero temperatures almost never happen any more, due to your SUV. Look for NCDC to report 2014 as the hottest year ever, during the coldest mid-November on record.

A True Story From My Alarmist Days

During the 2002 drought in Colorado, the city of Longmont shut down most of the city soccer fields, in a vain effort to protect the grass.  I was coaching kid soccer at the time, and went to a city council meeting and asked them to open the fields because :

  1. There is nothing wrong with playing on dirt. Kids in much of the world play on dirt and go on to win the World Cup.
  2. Scientists say the drought is only going to get much worse, as global warming gets worse.

By autumn 2006, I was regularly coaching in freezing cold rain and snow, almost every weekend.

The city council did open the fields up after that meeting. Apparently my appeal was effective.

Dear Kevin – Please Clarify

What did you mean by this?

“The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming, and it is a travesty that we can’t”

Call Him An Unrepentant Liar

Richard Muller claimed he was a converted skeptic.

The Conversion of a Climate-Change Skeptic
By RICHARD A. MULLER Published: July 28, 2012
Berkeley, Calif.

CALL me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.

Less than a year earlier, Muller said he never was a skeptic.

“It is ironic if some people treat me as a traitor, since I was never a skeptic

Richard Muller, Climate Researcher, Navigates The Volatile Line Between Science And Skepticism

A decade earlier he made it clear that he was a flaming alarmist who wanted to prove global warming.

By Richard Muller on December 17, 2003

Let me be clear. My own reading of the literature and study of paleoclimate suggests strongly that carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels will prove to be the greatest pollutant of human history. It is likely to have severe and detrimental effects on global climate. I would love to believe that the results of Mann et al. are correct, and that the last few years have been the warmest in a millennium.
