The light green below shows the growth of one metre thick ice over this date last year. There is 51% greater coverage of thick ice compared to last year, and the new ice is perfectly located in the western Arctic to survive the winter and thicken. The news couldn’t possibly be worse for climate scamsters.
WHITE HOUSE OPENS DOOR TO OBAMACARE DELAY – As the federal government teetered on the brink of shutdown at the end of last month, the White House and Senate Democrats flatly refused a Republican emergency spending bill that would have kept the government open but delayed ObamaCare’s requirement that individuals purchase health insurance by March 31 or face a fine. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid responded to a GOP counteroffer by saying Republicans had “lost their minds.” But after an epic failure of a launch for the new health insurance entitlement and with the partial shutdown over, “delay” suddenly isn’t a dirty word anymore. With many of those subject to the fine unable to sign up due to manifold botches in the enrollment process, Democrats are warming up to the idea.
Obama and Reid’s behavior over the past three weeks is grounds for impeachment. What are the Republicans waiting for?
The Stumbled and fallen…..Why are many of our high US military officers departing military service for obscure reasons?
Are these senior officers being ‘shown the door’ deliberately? These occurrences are very unsettling. We’ll just have to wait for the scuttlebutt I guess. Let’s just pray no dishonor is coming to them from the Communist-in-Chief (DINO).
This strange chain of firings from the Military is so bizarre and so unheard of that even Dianne Sawyer of ABC news reached out to cover it when the 9th, yes 9th, Military Commanding Officer was relieved of duty in less than a year. This doesn’t include the long list last year, this is just the nine individuals this year alone.
In order to stage a coup, you have to have control of the military.

Energy Secretary Moniz at House Hearing on U.S. Climate Action
The evidence is overwhelming, the science is clear, and the threat from climate change is real and urgent. This is my judgment and it is the almost universal judgment of the scientific community.
In other words, he read the 97% claim on John Cook’s web site, and knows nothing about the actual state of scientific knowledge.
The basic science behind climate change is simple: greenhouse gases make the earth warmer, and we are emitting more and more of them into the atmosphere.
The basic science shows that adding more CO2 has very little impact on the temperature. Predictions of catastrophic warming are based on feedbacks – from models which have wildly overpredicted past warming.
The threat of a warming planet to our communities, our infrastructure and our way of life is also clear.
No it isn’t. There isn’t any evidence of that at all.
Rising sea levels and increasingly severe droughts, heat waves, wildfires, and major storms are already costing our economy billions of dollars a year and these impacts are only going to grow more severe.
Sea level has been rising for 20,000 years, and tide gauges show no change in the rate of sea level rise over the past century. Tide gauges and satellites show no sea level rise at all on the west coast for over three decades. The EPA says that the worst heatwaves occurred in the 1930s. Droughts were much worse in the 1930s and 1950s. This past summer had the fewest 100 degree readings in a century. The US has gone over eight years since a major hurricane strike, the longest such period on record. Tornadoes are at a record low. The US experienced the fewest fires in three decades this year.
Every single claim Moniz made is patently false. He is either a liar or an idiot.
Common sense demands that we take action.
Common sense tells us that China is producing far more CO2 than we are, and even if CO2 was a problem, there is nothing the US could do about it.
They say that 97% of the science is on their side, that they are 95% certain, and that we are all stupid and ignorant.
Debating ought to be a slam dunk for them. They should be able to put us down in a sentence or two. But for some reason, they invariably refuse to do that. Could it be that their actual certainty level is close to zero, and that they are completely full of shit?
This is what the smart (and handsome) one said – he thinks that witches are cooking the weather, and that legislation can change things controlled by the Sun.
“The evidence is overwhelming, the science is clear, and the threat from climate change is real and urgent.” “The threat of a warming planet to our communities, our infrastructure and our way of life is also clear, rising sea levels and increasingly severe droughts, heat waves, wildfires, and major storms
This is what the stupid one said – she thinks that global warming is a scam which is choking the economy
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called studies supporting global climate change a “bunch of snake oil science” Monday during a rare appearance in California, a state that has been at the forefront of environmental regulations.
Palin said California’s heavy regulatory environment makes it difficult for businesses to succeed, a point that is shared by many business leaders in the state.
She criticized what she said were heavy-handed environmental laws. As Alaska governor, for example, she said she sued the federal government to overturn the listing of polar bears as a threatened species.
We have been lazy, and have allowed the world’s most useless people to take over the US. Obama’s cabinet is just as bad as he is.
Obama 2007 :
“no more illegal wire-tapping of American citizens. No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. No more tracking citizens who do nothing more than protest a misguided war. No more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient. That is not who we are. And it is not what is necessary to defeat the terrorists… We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers, and that justice is not arbitrary.”
Leading climate experts like James Hansen say that there will be a great flood, and droughts and pestilence and war and disease and famine, and that everyone on Earth will die. These experts tell us that they are much smarter than we are.
The same climate experts also ridicule religious people who warn of a great flood, and droughts and pestilence and war and disease and famine, and that everyone on Earth will die.
That’s the difference between science and religion.
