President Clinton approved a plan today to arrange more than $4 billion in energy aid to North Korea during the next decade in return for a commitment from the country’s hard-line Communist leadership to freeze and gradually dismantle its nuclear weapons development program.

In other words, Clinton gave North Korea $4 billion to accelerate their nuclear weapons program.

In 1977, the Carter Administration uncovered a Libyan plot to kill our ambassador to Egypt.

Energy flow is driven by differences in energy.

• Rocks fall from high potential energy to low potential energy
• Electricity flows between negative and positive
• Heat flows from warm places to cold places
• Wind blows from high pressure to low pressure

If the Arctic warms faster than the equator, that reduces the temperature gradient and reduces the ability for heat to flow. It means fewer storms, fewer cold fronts, warmer air, etc. Consider Venus. It has a uniform hot temperature, and essentially no weather.

People who claim that a warming Arctic produces more cold air and storms, are scientific imbeciles. Enter Obama’s science adviser. We are truly dealing with the stupidest people who ever walked the planet.

Holdren points out that temperatures in the Arctic have been rising at about double the pace of temperatures at the mid-latitudes, where the continental United States lies. And he cites research that theorizes the shrinking difference between the Arctic temperatures and the mid-latitudes is making it more likely that incursions of that frigid air from the “polar vortex” will happen more frequently in the future.

If you want to make your freezer colder, simply turn the temperature up.

The graph below merges the 2002 Version Of GISS 1866-1882 NH temperatures, the 1975 National Academy of Sciences 1882-1970 NH temperatures, and RSS 1979-2014 NH temperatures. There have been two cooling periods and two warming periods since 1866, with almost no net change in temperature.

The 2002 version of GISS was the last to include pre-1880 temperatures.
