A few weeks ago, the “facts only” LA Times announced that New Mexico would never recover from the drought.

Aug. 6, 2013

Nowhere is it worse than in New Mexico. In this parched state, the question is no longer how much worse it can get but whether it will ever get better — and, ominously, whether collapsing ecosystems can recover even if it does.

About three weeks after the article was written, New Mexico was flooded.

And now they have a huge early snowstorm coming in.

November 19, 2013

A potent cold front is then expected to plunge southwestward across eastern New Mexico Thursday and Thursday night ushering in very cold temperatures for late November. This front will surge through gaps in the Central Mountain chain Thursday night and create an extended period of strong east winds below canyons opening into the Rio Grande Valley likely to last through Saturday night. Although the broad upper level storm system will stall over the upper Baja Peninsula through Saturday… it will begin to spread accumulating snow across northern and western New Mexico Thursday night and Friday as the cold front causes snow levels to lower. In addition… on the far eastern plains freezing precipitation may produce light ice accumulation Thursday night through Friday night or Saturday. With the front pushing well into Arizona on Saturday…  precipitation may briefly wane over much of New Mexico before increasing in coverage and intensity again Sunday and Monday as the upper low finally ejects northeastward over the state.

“That is why I smell, yes,” Anderson told Climate Depot.

Morano then asked Anderson: “And you really believe that [not bathing] is going to help people avoid typhoons?

“I think you misunderstand the point, I do not believe it would help as an individual,” Anderson responded.

Police: Examples Of Troubling ‘Knockout’ Game Popping Up All Over Recent Attacks Have Targeted Brooklyn Jews; 78-Year-Old Woman Latest Victim

In the recent attacks in Brooklyn, a 20-year old Israeli man in a hooded jacket was attacked, and another man’s 12-year-old son was hit on his way to Hebrew school.

At a community meeting between blacks and Jews in Crown Heights, an assistant police chief said there have been four such assaults since early October. So, more police have been deployed.  Many present said young African-Americans need to be educated about such bias crimes.

“We need to engage these young people and engage their parents,” said the Rev. Taharka Robinson of the Brooklyn Anti-Violence Coalition.

We need to engage violent criminals?

Assemblyman Hikind said that’s fine, but he wants more.

“I’m for people being arrested. That would be the best education in the world,” Hikind said.

Hikind urged the NYPD to catch those responsible quickly and show the “knockout game” is not a game at all.

Many are calling “knockout” another example of peer pressure and showing off, with tragic and sometimes fatal results.

In the reverse situation, there would be a presidential speech, marches by Al Sharpton, 24×7 coverage by CNN, and the Guardian would write a special feature about racism in America.

And whatever you do, don’t profile. That is a federal offense. Just be a good citizen and let yourself be killed.

The graph below plots the difference between adjusted NCDC US temperature anomalies and RSS US temperature anomalies. NCDC shows a strong US warming trend, and RSS shows no US warming trend. NCDC and RSS are diverging at an astonishing 2.4ºC per century.

The divergence between the raw NCDC data (US HCN) and RSS satellites is much smaller (see graph below) – indicating that not only are the NCDC adjustments wrong, but they are actually going the wrong direction.

“We don’t believe in handouts. We don’t think anyone should get a free ride,” she said Monday afternoon in a speech at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers.

“But we also understand one simple principle — that there but for the grace of God go I; that in the blink of an eye, any of us — any of us — could be faced with a terrible diagnosis. Any of us could be injured in a horrible accident. Any of us could lose the job we count on to support our family — any of us,” she said.

Tens of millions losing their healthcare is for the higher purpose of making sure that everyone is insured. And they don’t believe in the trillions in dollars of handouts they made to get elected.
