About 2,500 people die every day in automobile accidents, including 100 in the US. You can think of cars as being Typhoon Yolanda on steroids.

The University says that they provide adequate security, and believes that criminals will follow gun laws.

The 1928 San Felipe-Okeechobee Hurricane killed four thousand people, including two thousand in the US. Residents of Palm Beach had plenty of warning, but didn’t leave.

It was a bad day for tornadoes, too.

CNN would be hysterical if this happened now.

Venus is very hot, but has no weather – because it has a uniform surface temperature.

Global warming causes the poles to warm much more than the tropics. This reduces the potential difference in energy between the poles and the tropics, which reduces the amount of heat flow which can occur in the atmosphere. If the poles and equator were at the same temperature, there would be no storms – the Earth’s heat engine would shut down.

Actual scientists understand this, which is why climate scientists don’t – and make idiotic claims like big typhoons being caused by global warming.

The New York Times says that he “misspoke.”

On August 4, 2011 – The European Space Agency’s Envisat satellite showed less than one mm/year sea level rise, comparable to tide gauges.

A few months later the same data set showed almost triple that rate.

A few weeks later they killed the uncooperative satellite.

Twitter / EricHolthaus: Sea levels in the Philippines …

The sea level map shows 10 mm/year sea level rise east of the Philippines, which is exactly the amount of error in the map. A signal to noise ratio of zero – i.e. completely useless data.

geological evidence stretching back tens of thousands of years, obtained by drilling into the Vostok ice core in Antarctica, is now available. And that temperature record makes alarmingly clear how extraordinary would be a 6° increase in global temperature by 2100.

This is a classic from the year 2000. The ice core data (turquoise line) shows recent temperatures cooling. They threw in a fake hockey stick in red at top of the graph without explanation, and used the same color for CO2 in the bottom graph. The graph is designed to confuse the reader into believing the opposite of what it shows.

The large increase in ice core CO2, corresponds with a decline in ice core temperatures.
