In mid-July, a heating and air conditioning company was running a radio ad here in Colorado.
Last summer was the hottest on record in Colorado, and experts say that this summer will be just as hot
The last four weeks has been the coolest summer weather I have ever seen. Many days have been more like September or October weather.
A few months ago, the experts at NOAA told us that the corn belt drought was going to get worse this summer.

Monterey Bay affected by climate change
Monterey Bay is a microcosm of the “immediate and growing threat” of climate change in California, the state Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday.
From rising sea levels and ocean acidity to declining populations of chinook salmon and sea lion pups, global warming is here
Lactating female sea lions leave their pups for days at a time to forage for food. Scientists believe warmer ocean temperatures in 2009 reduced coastal populations of fish, causing the lactating mothers to travel farther for food and abandon their pups beyond their fasting limitations.

Utter bullshit. Monterey Bay pH measurements show the exact opposite. pH was higher at the end of the time series than it was at the beginning,

The tide gauge at Monterey Bay shows no change in sea level for at least 30 years.
The cold phase of the PDO is keeping temperatures off the California Coast consistently below normal.
Government agencies are now engaging in outright fraud over global warming.
NSIDC : Down
Back when the sea was thick and lasted for years, cyclones tended to spread the ice out and actually increase its extent, said Julienne Stroeve of the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo. Now, when ice gets spread out, it simply breaks up and disappears.
“As our ice cover has thinned, some of our old rules are changing,” said Stroeve.

This year “will without a doubt” rank in the top five lowest levels of ice extent ever recorded in the satellite era, and there is a good possibility that 2013 could rank second in terms of recorded ice lows, said Walt Meier, a scientist at the National Snow & Ice Data Center.
“It’s kind of remarkable that it’s as low as it is [this year], given that the weather conditions were not terribly optimal for ice loss,” Meier said.

I wonder why not? Could it have anything to do with the fact that temperatures never got close to freezing this summer in the interior of the ice sheet?

Police in Blue Ash, Ohio have shot dead a Chihuahua cross dog, but only after first tasing it. 5 year old Jack was the pet of the Bullock family, who bought the dog several years ago for their now 12 year old son. While the Bullock’s were out, Jack got out, and that’s where the police became involved. If tasing and shooting a small 5 pound dog isn’t bad enough, the way the family found out about it was worse again.
On returning home, they found three bullets and blood splattered over their front porch, along with a note to call the police about their dog. To keep this is perspective, we’re talking about a chihuahua here with zero history of violence, who lived in a home with a 12 year old child and a 5 year old, and despite coming to the attention of police for getting out, was shot none the less on the front porch of the home it lived in.
