39 killed and more carnage feared as Kenya mall attackers face off – CNN.com

CNN of course doesn’t bother to mention that the attack was by Muslims targeting Christians and Jews.

It was a beautiful afternoon today, so I took the dogs out for their hike a little earlier than normal.

They pointed out to me that the reason why progressives don’t trust anyone else is because progressives don’t trust themselves.

So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Our progressive friends just can’t handle the idea that there are lots of good, honest people out there who actually have values which they live by.

I was soaking Pinto beans to make chili, and left them in the water a little longer than I planned. When I went to cook them this morning, I could see that they were just starting to ferment and produce CO2.

Generating CO2 is now a crime in the US, so it is a good thing that Obama has been heavily arming the EPA, the IRS and the orphaned fawn tactical team.

In 2011, Texas A&M’s Andrew Dessler announced that Texas was going to be hot and dry for the rest of the century – based on a single data point.

Hansen had a problem in 1999. US temperatures peaked in the 1930s and were going down.

But not to worry. When you control the propaganda and the data, you can create any story you want. So he created a series of corrections which were the same shape – except upside down.

Sadly for Jim, the web archive never forgets.

But Jim wasn’t satisfied with the 2002 tampering, and has been steadily increasing it over the years. The next animation shows how the 1930-1999 tampering has greatly increased since 2002.

Hansen says the US is headed for 20ºC warming, yet he has to cheat half a degree to produce any warming.

As Coal Plants Shut Down, United Kingdom Faces a Power Crunch

British authorities have been issuing some dire-sounding warnings. In February, the man then in charge of Ofgem, Britain’s industry regulator, warned of an impending “near-crisis” of energy supply, calling the situation “horrendous” and likening it to being on a roller coaster headed “downhill—fast.” Deputy Minister Nick Clegg was quoted saying that he was working to “keep the lights on.” (See related quiz: “What You Don’t Know About Electricity.”)

In June, Ofgem released a capacity assessment warning that “risks to electricity security of supply over the next six winters have increased since our last report in October 2012.” The report warned that Britain’s ability to provide spare electric power capacity could plunge to between 2 to 5 percent, about half what it is now.

The main reason for the possible crunch: Britain is closing a number of aging coal-fired plants—as well as some oil and nuclear ones—to meet European Union environmental laws. One fifth of the existing power stations are scheduled to close over the next ten years. According to Reuters, the U.K. is set to lose more than 12 gigawatts of generating capacity in the next two years. Currently, the country operates 13 coal plants, but nearly half are slated to close by 2015, and all of them could be shut down by 2023, according to government figures.

As Coal Plants Shut Down, the United Kingdom Faces a Power Crunch

The distressed sheriff’s deputy in Bellvue who told me last week that the flood was a “natural disaster, not a photo op” appears to have gotten a little crazy with his yellow tape.

Now that emitting CO2 is a crime, it makes sense to call the flood a crime scene. (Assuming you have the IQ of a turnip.)

Two years ago as flood waters were rising on the Poudre River, I posted this video of a fawn and its mother trapped on an island. Eventually the mother crossed off the island, and the fawn was rescued by the La Porte fire department.

This is how that island looks today. Note the 18 inch diameter river rocks, transported there by countless large floods.

And finally, a frightening view of the permanent drought in Bellvue.

Time Magazine finally admits that they lied about the thousand year flood, but make minimal effort to undo their damage.

I’ve pointed out to Walsh several times that Colorado has had bigger rains in the past century, and he keeps lying about it.
