Ocean Acidification Is Climate Change’s ‘Equally Evil Twin,’ NOAA Chief Says
Corals evolved during the Cambrian Era six hundred million years ago, with CO2 levels 4000% of what they are now. They are made of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) – and could not exist without substantial amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Unless the chemical properties of CaCO3 have changed, the corals will be just fine.
Gregory Hicks, the former Deputy Chief of Mission in Libya who testified before Congress about the 9/11 attacks on an American diplomatic facility earlier this year, believes he has been “punished” for speaking out about the Obama administration’s response the night of the attack. He said he believes at least two of the Americans lost that night could have been saved if the United States had responded in time.
“I don’t know why I was punished,” Hicks said in an interview with ABC’s This Week. “I don’t know why I was shunted aside, put in a closet if you will.”
Hick said he will continue to talk about the attacks because “the American people need to have the story” of what took place that night and the four Americans who were lost in the attacks “should be remembered.” He also believes that former Navy SEALS Ty Woods and Glen Doherty, who died eight hours after the initial attack on the diplomatic mission, could have been saved.

Climate skeptics are flat earthers, and people who oppose his attempt to start WWIII are evil child killers.
The community organizer seems to be able to tune out 99% of the information available – in order to stick to his agenda.
I do agree that the Congress should punish the person who launched these drone strikes.
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

This summer’s Arctic weather barely even impacted that long-term trend line at all.”
Just your regular run of the mill 60% increase.
Mr. Solomon’s words echo what the elders told us and what we intuitively understood. The fact that this year’s summer ice will be 1.41 million square kilometres is sobering. To put in in perspective the area of British Columbia and Alberta combined is 1.6 million square kilometres. Climate change is happening and is being evidenced even during a cold year like we just experienced.

Virgin Mobile gets the award today for world class flustercuck.
My phone quit sending and receiving calls last night. I just spent two hours on Skype with various people at Virgin Mobile in Bangalore who were trying to figure out what the problem was. In the process of trying to debug it, they reset my no-contract plan which caused my credit card to be charged for the second time this month.
So now I have paid billionaire Richard Branson double, for no phone service. The folks in Bangalore say they have escalated it, and that I will hear back within 48-72 hours.
I went to a party Branson threw in the east end of London about ten years ago, and he showed up two hours late with three women hanging off each arm. None of them were his wife, but he did seem quite pleased with himself.
He did say that he was going to fundamentally transform America.

Did John Cook do another survey for the White House?
White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said Sunday that an impending U.S. attack on Syria would send a message to Iranian leaders that they should not feel free to develop nuclear weapons.
It will send them a message that the US is run by a lunatic and will reinforce their desire to develop nuclear weapons
“This is an opportunity to be bold with the Iranians,” McDonough said on NBC’s Meet the Press.
This was supposed to be about Syria.
He said, “nobody is rebutting the intelligence; nobody doubts the intelligence” that is the basis for President Barack Obama pinning the blame for an August 21 chemical weapons attack in Syria on President Bashar Assad’s regime which is fighting to suppress a rebellion that began in 2011.
The UN hasn’t even released their report yet. The May UN report said that the rebels likely had chemical weapons.
