There have only been three recorded hurricanes during May in the Atlantic Basin. They occurred in 1908, 1951 and 1970, including this hurricane which struck the US during the last week of May, 1908

Scientists keep blaming non-existent changes in weather on non-existent changes in sea ice.
Climate experts are nearly unanimous in their belief that Greenland is melting down at -33C

Half of the country is currently in some state of drought.
What’s exceptional about the current drought — and what isn’t
Fifteen percent is the new fifty percent for progressives.
The sea surface temperatures in the western Pacific were “probably the warmest ever recorded this past year,” he told NBC News.

Sea surface temperatures in the western Pacific are 4C below normal.
Climate change poses a growing security threat and could cause conflict in the Arctic, a group of retired American generals and admirals said on Tuesday. In a new report, the former military officers said the Pentagon had been caught out by the rapid changes under way in the Arctic because of the melting of the sea ice. “Things are accelerating in the Arctic faster than we had looked at,” said General Paul Kern, the chairman of the Centre for Naval Analysis Corporation’s military advisory board, which produced the report. “The changes there appear to be much more radical than we envisaged.”
I wonder if this genius has ever looked at any actual data or imagery from the Arctic.
The Arctic is not melting. The area of multi-year ice has has nearly doubled in the last few years. These people have absolutely no clue what they are talking about.
A month ago I heard Trenberth’s insufferbable rant in Boulder, blaming Republicans for causing the warm US winter of 2012. Now he says they caused the cold US winter of 2014.
The extreme cold and snow across the eastern half of the United States this past winter makes global warming seem laughable. But, paradoxically, the blasts of polar air were fueled in part by planet-warming gases, according to a new paper.
The theory, outlined today in the journal Science, builds on research Palmer conducted in the 1980s and resonates with more recent work led by Kevin Trenberth, a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo.

The big White House push this week is to convince people that rising sea level due to Mann-made CO2 is going to come drown them.
Let’s test that theory out. The graph below plots Manhattan sea level vs atmospheric CO2. When CO2 was below 310 PPM, sea level rose four times faster than it has above 310 PPM.

Older CO2 data : cdiac.ornl.gov/ftp/trends/co2/lawdome.combined.dat
This experiment took me ten minutes, and completely obliterates the theory that lowering CO2 would reduce sea level rise rates. Why is it that our top scientists can’t perform the most basic tests of correlation with their $29 billion/year?
