Celebrate! The UN has granted Earth a 100 year reprieve from global warming.
In 1989, the UN said we had until the end of the 20th century to save the planet from global warming – but now they say we have until the end of the 21st century.

Recent heat waves that have triggered wildfires, droughts, and heat-related deaths in the United States and around the globe “almost certainly would not have occurred” without global warming—and will become more routine in coming years, NASA climate scientist James Hansen says.
This is a blatant lie by the world’s greatest climatologist. Heatwaves used to be much worse in the US, and have been becoming progressively less severe. In 1913, the Midwest had a heatwave which caused 20 straight days over 100 degrees at Clinton, Missouri. The last year that came anywhere close to that was 1980, when CO2 was well below 350 PPM
During a 90 day stretch in 1936, maximum temperatures at Appleton City, Missouri averaged 101 degrees.
Weather this hot is incomprehensible now. James Hansen is a fraud, who has been spreading junk science for decades and is a hero of the left for doing exactly that.
The world’s greatest climatologist says that heatwaves are due to global warming, and were impossible in the past.
Heat Waves “Almost Certainly” Due to Global Warming? “The climate dice are now loaded,” NASA’s James Hansen says.

The longest stretch of 90 degree days in the southeastern US occurred in 1939, when Plain Dealing, LA was over 90 degrees for 115 consecutive days – from June 9 to September 29.
Ryan Maue has proposed the Richard Branson take as many celebrities as possible into space. Please list the lucky celebrities you would like to see participate in this dynamic new space program.
The BBC just interviewed confessed fraudster, thief, and likely forger Peter Gleick. He told them that climate skeptics are a fast fading fringe group who don’t believe we went to the moon, and shouldn’t be part of the conversation.
Apparently that includes skeptic Dr. Harrison Schmitt – the only scientist to have walked on the moon, and skeptic Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon.
I’m in Colorado this weekend, and have heard a couple of ads on the radio for Democratic slimeball incumbent Mark Udall, saying his opponent Cory Gardner is responsible for record floods and fires in Colorado.
Besides the 15th century mentality of blaming the weather on other people, the claims about record floods and fires are complete nonsense.
Colorado just had one of its quietest fire years on record, but in 1898 had a fire which burned up nearly one quarter of the state. Probably 100 times larger than any recent fires.

In 1935, Colorado received 23 inches of rain in four hours. More than the entire week of last year’s flood.
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). Several other gauges in eastern Colorado also measured amounts close to this, lending creditability to the figure

It has lots of new features, which you will have to figure out for yourself. For starters, here are some command lines I have used today.

Marble Bar, Australia holds the world record for number of consecutive days over 100 degrees, 160 days starting in 1923.
The North American record is at Death Valley, which had 134 consecutive days over 100 degrees in 1974, and maximum temperatures averaged 112 degrees during that period.
Gavin says that 1923 and 1974 were cold years.
According to Gavin, 1913 was one of the ten coldest years ever.
The summer of 1913 set the world’s record maximum temperature of 134 degrees on July 10.
The summer of 1913 also had the Midwest’s longest heatwave. Appleton City, MO was over 90 degrees for 81 consecutive days – from June 23 to September 11.
From June 13 to September 11 1913, Appleton City was over 90 degrees every day but one – and maximum temperatures averaged over 100 degrees. That summer averaged 17 degrees warmer than this past summer, which Gavin says was the hottest ever.
Last week, President Obama hugged a cured Ebola nurse.
This week he traveled to New Jersey to have another nurse released from quarantine, who immediately violated the terms of her at home quarantine agreement and went out for a bike ride. If she gets hit by a car or falls off her bicycle – she is spreading body fluids. I crashed last week on a slippery bridge and had blood pouring down from my knee.
No doubt Obama is on the phone with her, telling her to be responsible and abide by the agreement he made with the governor of New Jersey. If you like your Ebola, you can keep your Ebola.
