Liverpool played great for 10 games until Suarez came back to the lineup.

The world’s richest country is using slave labor.

Dozens of Nepalese migrant labourers have died in Qatar in recent weeks and thousands more are enduring appalling labour abuses, a Guardian investigation has found, raising serious questions about Qatar’s preparations to host the 2022 World Cup.

This summer, Nepalese workers died at a rate of almost one a day in Qatar, many of them young men who had sudden heart attacks. The investigation found evidence to suggest that thousands of Nepalese, who make up the single largest group of labourers in Qatar, face exploitation and abuses that amount to modern-day slavery, as defined by the International Labour Organisation, during a building binge paving the way for 2022.

According to documents obtained from the Nepalese embassy in Doha, at least 44 workers died between 4 June and 8 August. More than half died of heart attacks, heart failure or workplace accidents.

The investigation also reveals:

• Evidence of forced labour on a huge World Cup infrastructure project.

• Some Nepalese men have alleged that they have not been paid for months and have had their salaries retained to stop them running away.

• Some workers on other sites say employers routinely confiscate passports and refuse to issue ID cards, in effect reducing them to the status of illegal aliens.

• Some labourers say they have been denied access to free drinking water in the desert heat.

• About 30 Nepalese sought refuge at their embassy in Doha to escape the brutal conditions of their employment.

The map below compares current Arctic ice with the same date in 2002. Green shows ice present in 2013 which was not present in 2002. Red shows the opposite.

Arctic Sea-Ice Monitor

Note how much more western Arctic ice there is now than there was 12 years ago. The green ice will almost all survive the winter, because it is too far away from the Fram Strait. But the red 2002 ice was largely doomed to get transported out of the Arctic and melt. The point being is that Arctic ice is in the best shape it has been since at least 2001.

Arctic ice was the last remaining surface refuge for the perpetrators of the climate scam, and now they have retreated to the missing heat in the deep oceans – more classically known as climate science hell.

Global Warming About to Claim Three Quarters of a Billion People

25 September 2013

The IPCC – the international body of scientists analyzing global climate change – is releasing its new report in stages over the next week and this early piece was reported on by the Financial Times on Monday. Under the headline “Climate Change Chief Sounds Alert on Himalayan Glaciers,” the opening sentence of the article by Pilita Clark summarizes a very tightly:

“The glaciers of the Himalayas are melting so fast they will affect the water supplies of a population twice that of the US within 22 years, the head of the world’s leading authority on climate change has warned.”

Apparently Pauchuri doesn’t think that he did enough damage to the reputation of the IPCC the last time round, and is going for a repeat performance.

There are 23 HCN stations in Iowa which have been continuously active since at least 1930. All of them set their record temperature in either 1901, 1930, 1934 or 1936.

“Having seen the September 1938 analog should somewhat humble us, and remind us that nature has a way of delivering without human intervention in the climate system,” says Martin Hoerling, a research meteorologist at NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo. “Climate change is operating, there’s no question about that, and water vapor has gone up,” but in this instance, climate change “really wasn’t a factor.”

Were Colorado floods result of global warming? Probably not. (+video) – CSMonitor.com

I pointed this out to Hoerling a couple of weeks ago, and it seems to have finally sunk in.

Snow is not a thing of the past. The Arctic is not ice free. Manhattan is not underwater. The human race has not starved to death. Tornadoes have not increased. Hurricanes have not increased. Sea level rise has not accelerated and temperatures have been flat for the past 17 years.

Nobody knows how or when the climate will change, and anyone who says they do is a modern day snake oil salesman.
