No Money For White House Tours, But Plenty Of Money For Another War

Obama cancelled White House tours for schoolchildren earlier this year, because he said his record high budget didn’t contain enough money – despite the fact that one of his golfing vacations would have paid for a year’s worth of tours.

But now Obama says we have plenty of money to start a new war in Syria – for the benefit of the kids, of course.

On Golden Ponds

Parts of Longmont, Colorado are flooded. One of the main recreational attractions in Longmont is Golden Ponds, which is a series of old gravel pits along the St. Vrain River – that are now filled with water. How did billions of eight inch diameter river rocks get transported 10 miles from the mountains?

Longmont sits on the flood plain of Lefthand Creek and the St. Vrain River.  Much of the newer parts of the city are built on flood detritus.  The older parts of the city are built on higher ground and do not flood. One hundred years ago, few people were foolish enough to build their house on the flood plain.

The climate isn’t getting worse, people are just getting increasingly stupid.

Even if the next five years were the five highest on record, the “long term trend” would still be down.  They start their linear trend at a local maximum of a cyclical function – which is junk statistics at its worst.

NSIDC conveniently ignores all satellite data prior to 1979

What Happened To Fake Hurricane Humberto?

NOAA Fish Hurricane Humberto magically appeared a few minutes before breaking the record for the latest first hurricane, and disappeared almost as quickly.

What a surprise.

Paying The Cost For Extreme Weather

Hansen says that fossil fuel providers are genocidal Nazis and must be charged for their poison gas.

We stand at a unique point in history when it is still possible to minimize climate disruption via an honest rising fee on carbon emissions that makes fossil fuels pay their costs to society, thus spurring our economies and a transformation to clean energies. If, instead, we choose to appease the fossil industry, subsidizing a move into  unconventional fossil fuels, history and our children will surely recognize our connivance and cowardice and  may judge us no less harshly than the judgment rendered upon the pre-war appeasers of the 1930s.

James Hansen: Allowing fossil fuel use like appeasing Nazis in 1930s | JunkScience.com

Let’s do the math :

  • Hurricanes at a record low
  • Record pause in major hurricane strikes
  • Tornadoes at a record low
  • Fires at a near record low
  • Arctic ice up 60% from last year
  • Record Antarctic ice
  • No global warming for 17 years
  • Temperatures below Hansen’s zero emissions scenario C
  • One of the mildest summers in US history

Looks like they need to have a Nuremberg Commission to investigate why Hansen continues to push his decades long attempt to wreck the global economy.

Boulder’s wintry spring breaking all kinds of records Five feet of snow fell between early April and early May

Now we have to worry about avalanches, as well as spring flooding from a rapid runoff. Six experienced snowboarders were trapped in an avalanche on Loveland Pass on April 20. All the victims had avalanche beacons, but there was only one survivor.

Most of my kid’s soccer practices and several games were cancelled this spring due to endless cold and snow, which lasted for the entire spring season.

Scientific American should be banned using either of the words in their name. You just can’t make up stupid and dishonest like the climate alarmist community.
