Adding up CBO’s estimates for the different provisions in the bill, the president’s health care law will amount to at least $2.6 trillion over a true 10-year period (from FY2014–23)—not $900 billion.
That works out to about a $20,000 tax hike for every middle class family.
The media thinks that they can protect Obama by lying about Obamacaredisaster indefinitely, but it should be obvious to even the Communist News Network that people will figure it out soon enough.
When we first moved to the Front Range of Colorado in the mid-1990s, I used to brag to my parents about how mild the winters are here. But since the winter of 2006-2007, we have had a rash of very long, cold winters – with the current year headed for being the snowiest on record. I just took the dogs out for a walk in a bitter cold wind, and remembered what lies in store over the next eight months.
As Antarctic ice extent breaks its all-maximum time record, we must not forget that the world’s greatest climatologist predicted peak ice loss, right at the spot where they have had peak ice gain.

The picture of probable disruption, including adverse changes and some that are beneficial, emerges from draft sections of a new assessment of the climate problem by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and from interviews with scientists involved in the assessment. The panel, a United Nations group of 2,500 scientists from around the world, advises parties to a 1992 treaty that are negotiating reductions in heat-trapping greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.
*A “striking” retreat of mountain glaciers around the world, accompanied in the Northern Hemisphere by a shrinking snow cover in winter.
Since the IPCC made these brilliant predictions, the Northern Hemisphere has had five of the six snowiest winters on record
The IPCC has nothing to do with science. They get everything wrong, and then the next time around claim that their abject model failures gave them more confidence in their models.
Two weeks ago little Barry told us that unless he bombed Syria, they were going to come gas Iowa, or something. It was absolutely the most serious situation the world ever faced.
Then he completely forgot about it and moved on to something else, which he will forget about in two weeks and move on to something else.
Barry has some sort of deep mental disturbance which apparently makes him need to have everyone pay attention to him all the time. His entire presidency has consisted of one fake crisis after another.
I run the radiative transfer model used by NCAR from time to time. It shows that increasing CO2 and CH4 have very little impact on the Earth’s long wave radiative balance.
So why do alarmists keep claiming that these gases are important? That is easy – it is about funding, not science.
Phoenix warmed 10 degrees in the last 50 years, while the less urbanized surrounding areas have warmed much less. It must be the CO2.
The effects of the UHI are most pronounced during the summer (June-July-August) months. In a simple comparison, average high and low temperatures from Maricopa, AZ and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport were compared (Figures 2 and 3). Little difference exists between the high temperatures from 1961 through 2007; however, low temperatures have trended warmer at Sky Harbor as compared to Maricopa, indicative of the existence of a strengthening UHI.
Why would billions of cars, buildings, air conditioners, heaters, parking lots, asphalt roads, etc. cause surface temperatures to be affected?
Congratulations Kyle! Let’s do the math.
950,000 PPM MarsCO2 * 0.006 / 400 PPM EarthCO2 = 14.25
The density of CO2 in Mars atmosphere is 14.25 times higher Earth, or the equivalent of 5,700 PPM on Earth. Mars should be burning up, according to the (face->palm) stupid climate alarmist community.
As far as the amount of sunlight being received at the surface, 25% of the sunlight reaching Earth’s atmosphere gets reflected back into space by clouds. Mars doesn’t have any clouds, so the amount of sunlight reaching the lower atmosphere of Mars is not tremendously different from Earth.
So why is it so cold on Mars? Simple – the atmospheric pressure is too low. The same reason why Death Valley is hot and Mt. Everest is cold.
There is a lot more CO2 on Mars than on Earth, yet it is very cold there.
