Real Climate Science

Saddened by the fact that sea level is barely rising, climate scientists made up a fake upwards sea level adjustment called the Global Isostatic Adjustment. It is based on a theory that sea level rise would be 10% faster if not for glacial rebound.

Using that adjustment, they will eventually virtually drown New York, even if sea level doesn’t rise at all.

I propose an equally valid adjustment – the Glacial Contribution Adjustment – which compensates for the excess water in the oceans due to glacial melt. Sea level rise rates should be adjusted downwards by 1 mm/year to show what the rate would be if not for glacial melt. The logic behind this adjustment is identical to the GIA, except for one problem – it works against funding instead of in favor of it.

“Right now in the Senate, Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn are actively whipping Senators to shut down debate on the House continuing resolution so that Harry Reid can gut it with just 51 votes,” a senior congressional staffer with intimate knowledge of the situation said in an email to Breitbart News. “Unbelievably, they actually are leading the fight to fully fund Obamacare.”

Americans’ Belief That Gov’t Is Too Powerful at Record Level

Obama has fundamentally transformed America, just as he promised.

There are hundreds of formerly prosperous communities all over America that are being steadily transformed into rotting, decaying hellholes.  The good paying middle class jobs that once supported those communities are long gone, and they have been replaced with low paying service jobs if they have been replaced at all.  When you visit those communities, it is almost as if all of the hope has been sucked right out of the air.

800,000 Rwandan’s were massacred with machetes, because gun control kept them from being able to defend themselves. The perpetrators were very appreciative of the gun laws in place. It made their job of killing hundreds of thousands of women and children much easier and safer.

Progressives would have preferred another 100 people dead in Kenya.

Over the past six years, I don’t think I have clicked on the BBC News web site once when there wasn’t a story admiring Barack Obama. Someone at the BBC appears to have tingle up their leg.

Someone at CBS News didn’t get the Ministry of Truth memo.

Great New England Hurricane of 1938 remembered on 75th anniversary

A weather station in Massachusetts recorded sustained winds of 121 mph and gusts as high as 186 mph — a major storm by modern standards that dwarfs the land wind speeds recorded in storms Irene and Sandy, which also devastated parts of the Northeast in recent years.

“It was the strongest, the most devastating, the deadliest and the costliest for the region and still is,” says Lourdes Aviles, a Plymouth State University meteorology professor in Plymouth, N.H., who this month published the book “Taken by Storm, 1938: A Social and Meteorological History of the Great New England Hurricane.”

Despite the recent woes brought by Sandy and Irene, any similar storm in the future will beset a population that has no appreciation of what a true hurricane is, Aviles says.

“No matter what storm you think about in the last century,” she says, “nothing here compares with 1938.”
