‘Gestapo’ tactics meet senior citizens at Yellowstone

NEWBURYPORT — Pat Vaillancourt went on a trip last week that was intended to showcase some of America’s greatest treasures.

Instead, the Salisbury resident said she and others on her tour bus witnessed an ugly spectacle that made her embarrassed, angry and heartbroken for her country.

Vaillancourt was one of thousands of people who found themselves in a national park as the federal government shutdown went into effect on Oct. 1. For many hours her tour group, which included senior citizen visitors from Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States, were locked in a Yellowstone National Park hotel under armed guard.

The bus trip made headlines in Livingston, where the local newspaper Livingston Enterprise interviewed the tour guide, Gordon Hodgson, who accused the park service of “Gestapo tactics.”  “The national parks belong to the people,” he told the Enterprise. “This isn’t right.”

If you don’t buy my extremely expensive health insurance, I will send a heavily armed IRS SWAT team to your house, arrest you and throw you in jail – or worse.

In 2006, he made the case for his own impeachment.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a Sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. …Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here’. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and Grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

Freeman Dyson is one of the greatest living nuclear physicists and also one of the flat earthers whom science expert Obama doesn’t have time to talk to.

In 1953, my father studied quantum mechanics at Cornell under Freeman Dyson. He taught that quantum mechanics is settled science and well understood.

Then in 1986, my father attended a discussion about quantum mechanics at the University of Adelaide, when Freeman Dyson said “nobody really understands quantum mechanics.”

My father responded with “that isn’t what you taught us at Cornell”

Freeman Dyson responded with “I am older and wiser now.”

I doubt that the hockey team has the intelligence to arrive at that same enlightenment.

RSS and UAH satellite data have served the critical function of limiting the amount of temperature record cheating going on at NOAA and NASA since 1979, but Obama has taken advantage of the Obamacare disaster and shut down the satellite temperature data.

Government Shutdown Affects RSS Data

As of October 1, 2013, the US Government has shutdown, resulting in NOAA CLASS data distribution services being taken offline. This is our source of SSM/I, SSMIS, and AMSU data that we use to produce RSS Ocean Data and Air Temperature products.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday that the income gap in the United States has increased to the point where members of the middle class resemble the Americans who lived in poverty when he occupied the White House.

Barry has invoked his science expertise (has he ever passed a science class?) and declared that leading Harvard and MIT scientists are flat earthers, whom he doesn’t have time to debate.

Harvard physicist, running for Congress, criticizes global warming ‘hysteria’

Stopa — who is director of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network Computation Project and a nationally recognized expert on nanoscale electronics and computation — predicts a change in climate science in the near future.

“The IPCC (Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change), in releasing their Fifth Assessment Report, are struggling to maintain a sense of urgency about climate change that is belied by: a pause of fifteen years in global warming, a failure (until now) to correctly incorporate important natural climate driving effects such as solar forcing and ocean current, and a continued inability to fully incorporate the effects of cloud formation in their models,” Stopa told TheDC.

Stopa isn’t alone in criticizing the IPCC’s science. A top MIT climate scientist called the latest IPCC report “hilarious.”

Stopa, a lifelong fiscally conservative Republican, has authored seventy-five academic papers and received over a thousand citations of his work.

Harvard physicist running for Congress slams global warming ‘hysteria’ | The Daily Caller

Mother Jones has taken back control of the narrative.

In a major report released late last month, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s leading authority on climate science, told us it was more certain than ever that humans are causing global warming. It also upgraded its projections for sea level rise by the end of the century, and even broached the subject of climate change’s irreversibility: We may already have done so much harm to the Earth that some of it can’t be undone in our lifetimes, or even in the lifetimes of future generations as far out as most of us can imagine.

This, you might think, would be quite a media story. Yet instead, something funny happened on the way from the scientists’ heads to the public’s ears, and many journalists instead embraced a very different narrative—in many ways, almost the opposite narrative. Global warming, they suggested, had “paused” or was slowing down. And scientists didn’t really understand why.

How could this disconnect, this huge divergence of narratives, have happened?

That would be called “massive fraud by the IPCC.“

There was very little loss of multi-year ice during the summer of 2013. The graph below shows the survival rates for sea ice in the Arctic Basin, grouped by age.

But it gets much worse for alarmists. Almost all of the thick ice is located far away from the Fram Strait, where it will survive the winter, and be a metre thicker next spring. Another winter/summer like 2013, and the death spiral with be officially dead.

The area of 4+ ice will nearly double over the winter, and the volume will increase by even more.
