Senate Democrats outlined the potential for large-scale economic and geological disruption from climate change — and insisted that the U.S. must act immediately.
- Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said the evidence of climate change is already being witnessed in more acidic oceans and rising seas. “Our sea levels are rising,” he said. “It’s not complicated. You measure that with a yardstick.”
Sea level has risen as much in the San Francisco Bay over the last 70 years, as the Senator’s IQ. Zero.
Arctic warmth in the 1940’s just didn’t fit the Arctic warming narrative, so NASA erased it two years ago.
It is time for President Obama to sign an executive order ending the drought in California.
97% of climate models are completely useless. The other 3% are as accurate as a stopped clock.
But, apropos of hot weather, it must have been fearful indeed in Kansas. A letter from Manhattan, in that Territory, — how fortunate for us that it was not our Manhattan, — states, under date of July 19:
“The thermometer day after day stood at 113°, and one day for a few hours it rose to 125° on the north side of the house, in the shade, yet there was but one case of sun-stroke, and that was not fatal. There is always a wind in this country, which makes it bearable.”
It is good to know that the weather at 125°, at any place, is bearable. Even at a much higher degree, it may be bearable. There is comfort for sinners in the thought. The Cincinnati Press of Tuesday says:

NOAA/GISS temperature corrections are larger than the claimed trend, and actually reverse the polarity. No serious scientist would attempt to publish graphs which have an error bar larger than the trend, much less present it as settled science without any error bars.
The standard excuse is that someone wrote a paper once about TOBS, but the actual temperature adjustments are linear and implausible under any vaguely legitimate theory. These adjustments are fraud, intended to create the appearance of a non-existent warming.
Marble Bar heatwave, 1923-24
The world record for the longest sequence of days above 100°Fahrenheit (or 37.8° on the Celsius scale) is held by Marble Bar in the inland Pilbara district of Western Australia. The temperature, measured under standard exposure conditions, reached or exceeded the century mark every day from 31 October 1923 to 7 April 1924, a total of 160 days.
