All races are equally poor now! The socialist dream.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Four out of 5 U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, near-poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives, a sign of deteriorating economic security and an elusive American dream.

“If you do try to go apply for a job, they’re not hiring people, and they’re not paying that much to even go to work,” she said. Children, she said, have “nothing better to do than to get on drugs.”

While racial and ethnic minorities are more likely to live in poverty, race disparities in the poverty rate have narrowed substantially since the 1970s, census data show.

From 1790 to 1804, Philadelphia July temperatures dropped almost eight degrees.

So far this month, Philadelphia temperatures have averaged 79F.

Thirty years from now, alarmists will be saying that 50 years with no warming isn’t long enough.

Astronomer Sir William Herschel observed over two hundred years ago that the weather gets cold during deep solar minimums. This puts him about 211 years ahead of current government climate scientists.

The president tells us that the excessive lifestyle Americans enjoy, is destroying the climate. He knows this because it was hot in DC one afternoon a few weeks ago, and because there was a hurricane last year.

NOAA tells him that last year was the second most extreme year on record, based on a nonsensical statistic which counted mild winter days as  being “extreme” – twice.

The solution is simple. Evil American energy companies produce fossil fuel, because evil Americans keep buying it. If all progressives (particularly at universities) would simply disconnect (I prefer the word “divest“) their transportation, heating and electrical systems from the fossil fuel powered grid, they could save the planet.

If progressives really cared, they would do this. The power is in their hands to save Gaia.

Green is ice present in 2013 which was not present in 2006, red shows the opposite.

The US Drought Monitor says that we are having a drought in Fort Collins, which is remarkable because it is raining every day, is the greenest anyone has ever seen it at the end of the July, and the constant dampness is starting to produce mildew.

I’m just back from a bicycle ride in the fog, where I had to dodge gravel washed out on the road from yesterday’s deluge.

Yesterday was the 17th anniversary of the Spring Creek flood, and we had a mini flood on Spring Creek with a bike trail bridge submerged for a couple of hours.

A new set of studies from the British government’s Meteorological Office has addressed the claims by climate change skeptics that global warming has “stopped” or “paused” or is “slowing down.”

The Met Office’s response is a trio of reports that, in style and length, resembles a set of ‘Climate Cliff Notes,’ and which, taken in order, provide a step-by-step assessment of the skeptical claims.

There is actually a multitude of measurements: of atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases; of atmospheric water vapor; of air temperature near the ground, in the lower atmosphere, and in the stratosphere; of changes in glacier mass balance and polar sea ice; of sea level rise and, importantly, changes in the heat content of the ocean. The accumulation of evidence from all these observations points unhesitatingly to a warming planet.

Looks like the Met Office has joined the flat earth society.

On July 24, the rowers miraculously traveled 30 km into the wind with their GPS turned off.

We rounded the tip of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula after two weeks of hard effort, sand bars and unfriendly winds.

The Test

Had they not performed that superhuman feat, they would have been stuck behind the ice the next day and their trip would be over.

Sometimes you just need some help from the hand of god.
