“You are entitled to your opinion, but not your own facts”
– Barack Obama 2012
The President of the United States says that wildfires are becoming more frequent.
US wildfires are at a 30 year low, and have been declining for Obama’s entire political career.

There were four times as many fires in 1938 as 2014.
Obama has neither opinion nor facts. He just makes shit up.
Greenland is having their second highest ratio of record minimums to record maximums this year. The only year which beat it was 1992, which was cooled by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo
Temperatures in the capital of Greenland are plummeting, and are coldest in 20 years.
For the whole country, temperatures peaked before 1940, and have never been matched again.
This matches newspaper reports from the time
Gavin says it is the hottest year ever. I think he is lying.
While NASA and NOAA are busy lying about record heat, something remarkable is happening in the Northern Hemisphere. It is turning very cold.
Sea surface temperatures have plummeted.
Arctic sea ice is about to return to “normal”
And Northern Hemisphere snow cover is at a record high.
Rather than doing any actual climate science at Real Climate, look for them to continue ramping up the propaganda, and hiding the decline.
Gavin says that 2014 is the hottest ever.
His robust methodology is shown below. He simply cools the past and warms the present, and by some strange mathematical phenomenon – the present year becomes the warmest.

It took about five minutes to build this exciting new voting machine application, which is beyond the grasp of $4 trillion in government spending.
Confirmation dialog boxes are standard practice for transaction applications. Why don’t voting machines have them? It defies comprehension that they don’t.
The latest theory from the climate geniuses, is that missing Arctic ice causes cold winters. Let’s test that out.
According to NCDC, 1979 was the coldest winter in US history.
1979 was also the year with peak Arctic ice. The exact opposite of the current theory.
How about the other extreme? 2012 had the warmest winter/spring in US history – and had the lowest Arctic ice extent on record. Again, the exact opposite of the new theory.
Only in climate science can experts promote a new theory which has 0% correlation with data.
When you check out of the grocery store, have you ever seen the touch screen select the wrong food? Have you ever seen a bank ATM select the wrong digit? Does your phone select the wrong digit? You might press the wrong button due to fat fingers, but the phone will select whatever digit you pressed.
It doesn’t happen. Touch screens are well established technology which we use many times every day. Election officials claiming that they have calibration issues with their voting machines defies belief.

Maryland, Illinois Voting Machines May be Rigged for Democrats Tuesday, 28 Oct 2014 11:28 AM
By Melanie Batley
A number of voting machines in Maryland and Illinois are electronically switching Republican votes to the Democrats, raising suspicions that fraud could be at the root of the alleged malfunction.
According to Watchdog.org, election officials in both states have characterized the problem as a “calibration issue,” but a software developer and expert on touch screens used by U.S. intelligence agencies told Newsmax that the explanation was bogus.
“It’s a software issue, and it’s incredibly suspicious that a bug like that could slip through accidentally. It defies belief,” said Tony Heller.
He said that any expert trained in the technology could figure out within minutes whether the problem with the software was accidental and deliberate.
“This is being used by the public for voting. Public trust is essential,” he said. “It’s completely unacceptable that an official waved it off as a calibration issue. It’s something that can be easily verified and should be.”
Maryland, Illinois Voting Machines May be Rigged for Democrats!
The reason I am in Maryland is to develop touch screen software used by US intelligence services. Calibration error on these devices is normally a few pixels. An error that large (dozens of pixels) is almost certainly a software problem.
It would be easy to determine and essential for the public trust that the entire revision control of their source code is made public. Only open source code should be permitted for government operations.
It is totally unacceptable that this problem was found by voters, rather than election officials. What are they paid for? How many Republican votes were miscounted as Democrats? This type of violation of trust destroys the most fundamental underpinnings of our system of government.
Maryland verifies their system based on the number of votes recorded. Apparently it doesn’t matter if they recorded the vote correctly. The state’s definition of accuracy and error rate is absurd.
Advantages of Maryland’s Voting System
AccuracyOne way to measure the accuracy of a voting system is to calculate and compare voter error rates. The more accurate the voting system is, the fewer number of voter errors there will be. Voter error rate is the number of voters who voted but did not have a vote counted for a specific contest on the ballot (typically President or Governor). This is calculated by subtracting the total number of votes cast for President or Governor from the total number of voters who voted.
Using this measure, Maryland had the lowest voter error rate in the country in 2004. (See Residual Vote in the 2004 Election, CalTech/MIT Voting Technology Project.) In the 2004 General Election, only 0.3% of the voters who voted did not have a vote recorded for President. This is a 40% reduction from 2000 – the last election when optical scan and punchcard voting systems and mechanical lever machines were used for polling place voting in Maryland.
Maryland’s transition to a touchscreen voting system from paper-based and older voting systems improved the accuracy of the vote count and reduced the number of voter errors. Our results are consistent with findings reported in the same CalTech/MIT Voting Technology Project report, which shows that implementing a touchscreen voting system reduces voter error.
