Meanwhile, some Eskimo kid in Alaska is suing the state for not stopping his family from being total morons.

 last year, Nelson Kanuk, a freshman at at the University of Alaska–Fairbanks, sued his state for failing to reduce carbon emissions or slow climate change. Last week, the Alaska Supreme Court agreed to hear Kanuk’s appeal, becoming the first high court in the country to take up such a case. (You can view the full hearing, which took place in a high school auditorium, here.)

Kanuk hails from a remote Yup’ik Eskimo village called Kipnuk, which is accessible primarily via river. Due to melting permafrost, the riverbank that protects Kanuk’s family’s house from floods softened, and some 13 feet of their front yard was swallowed up by the rushing water. The family has since been forced to move about 100 miles away.

In 2010, our friends got hysterical about a block of ice which calved off the Petermann Glacier in Greenland. Since then, the glacier has grown 3km.

Actually this isn’t quite true. High school seniors who failed a grade might have seen a little global warming.

The collapse can be seen here, as the most ice in a decade.

This shouldn’t concern anyone, because the Arctic has actually been ice-free since the year 2000.

The US has had no hurricanes and one minimal tropical storm this summer.

In 1886, the US was hit by seven hurricanes. As CO2 has increased, the number of hurricanes striking the US has decreased.

CO2 producers should get a tax credit for making the climate safer, and reducing disaster costs.
