Arctic ice area is increasing, as new ice is forming rapidly north of 80N. Ice area is the highest since 2006.
The year over year change in Arctic sea ice area has blown away the record for ice growth, by more than a factor of two.

The US Drought Monitor comes out today. Can’t wait to see what drought level we are at this week.
The only evidence Obama has produced linking Assad to the chemical weapons attack is a set of panicked phone calls from someone in the ministry of defense to someone in the military wanting to know what had happened.
Obama would be laughed out of the courtroom for basing a murder conviction prosecution on such flimsy evidence. Obama’s entire agenda is based on flimsy or fabricated data.

While it seems unlikely that a record minimum of sea-ice extent will be set this September, the thinner ice at the start of summer could mean that the actual volume of ice may reach a new low.
Rachel Tilling, PhD student at University College London, who is working with the CryoSat data stated, “Readings from CryoSat in October, when the ice starts to refreeze, will confirm this either way.”

Even PIOMAS (alarmist’s #1 Arctic propaganda tool) shows a 46% increase in ice volume over last year, and the highest in four years.
Well perhaps not a new low. Last year ESA quadrupled Envisat sea level rise rates overnight.
More evidence that Republican leadership is not on our side.
An effort by Missouri legislators to expand gun rights and make federal gun regulations unenforceable failed by one vote in the state Senate Wednesday night, as the body’s top two Republican officials voted to sustain a veto by the Democratic governor.
Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey and Majority Leader Ron Richard were the only two GOP members to vote against the legislation, which declared that any federal policies that “infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms” shall be invalid in Missouri. It would have created state misdemeanor charges against federal authorities who attempted to enforce those laws or anyone who published the identity of a gun owner. Another provision could have allowed police and prosecutors to be targeted with lawsuits for attempting to enforce the nullified laws.
After scuttling the Missouri bill, Dempsey and Richard both professed their devotion to the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, their love of hunting and their history of supporting pro-gun legislation

Bloomberg found out that his money is worthless here, and Obama found out that his bullshit is worthless here.
Outspent by about 5-to-1, recall supporters cited a big anti-recall donation from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to make one of their main points — that Democrats controlling the state Legislature were more interested in listening to the White House and outside interests than their own constituents.
That feeling was particularly strong in Pueblo, an industrial city in southern Colorado where Democrats tend to be more conservative on social issues and voters of all persuasions tend to embrace gun rights.
Victor Head, the 28-year-old plumber who launched the recall effort in Pueblo, said people in his hometown did not need any encouragement from the NRA to turn out against Giron.
Voters don’t like their gun rights “being messed with regardless of party,” said Head, who asked a friend to film campaign videos in his backyard.

Obama has lost hundreds of rocket launchers as well as a lot of other high tech weaponry to terrorists, and he is telling other people what to do about controlling weapons. Maybe he should get his own act together first?
