CO2 has officially passed 400 PPM (for about the third time) and Phil Plait is hysterical.
An actual scientist might conclude that the lack of warming over the last 18 years as CO2 has risen, condemns global warming theory to the dustbin of junk science history. But then again, global warming has nothing to do with science.
There is no correlation between CO2 and global temperature.

Forty-five years after Paul Ehrlich announced his desire to poison Africans, climate alarmists are still looking for new ways to kill as many Africans as they can.
Mindful of the benefits, the Obama administration’s Power Africa proposal and the World Bank are trying to double African access to electricity. But they have been hamstrung by the opposition of their political base to fossil fuels—even though off-grid and renewable power from the sun, tides and wind is still too unreliable, too hard to transmit, and way too expensive for Africa to build and maintain as its primary source of power.
In 2010 the left tried to block a World Bank loan for a new coal-fired plant in South Africa. Fortunately, the loan was approved (with the U.S. abstaining). The drive to provide electricity for the poor has been perhaps the greatest achievement of South Africa’s post-apartheid governments.
Standing on the mountainside at night in Cape Town, overlooking the “Coloured” township of Mitchell’s Plain and the African township of Khayelitsha, you can now see a twinkling blanket of bulbs. How terrible to think that so many people in the West would rather block such success stories in the name of unproved science.

The left has been contemplating genocide in Africa for a long time.
President Obama hopes to shut down all cheap, reliable forms of energy in the US, and have us run instead off the imaginary expensive kind.
According to highly skilled government experts, glaciers were melting down when it was cold, and forming when it was hot.
In 1906, the world’s glaciers had been in general retreat for 45 years. GISS shows this warming period as cooling.
Sixty years later, glaciers were growing for the first time in 200 years. GISS shows this cold period as 0.4C warmer than 1906, when glaciers were rapidly melting.
Glaciers melting when it is cold and forming when it is warm, may not make any sense to some of us – but Mosher says the GISS temperature record is golden.
After a record cold start to the year, spring has finally arrived in Wisconsin.
Imagine what would have happened to the US if Gore, Kerry, McCain or Obama had been elected president.

A quarter of a century ago, from early in December to the end of March, we had continuous skating, and for weeks together, even the milk wagons and the public omnibuses had to take off their wheels and put on sleds in order to make their way about the streets. But the seasons have grown milder and milder, the memorable “blizzard” being an altogether exceptional episode, and it begins to look as though the combination would be an absolute abolition of the old-fashioned winter. The men of science are racking their brains to invent hypotheses to fit the case, but none of these are very satisfactory.

During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, the US averaged one major hurricane strike per year. It has now been nearly nine years since a major (category 3-5) hurricane hit the US. The last one was Wilma in 2005.
