Check out this garbage :

Last year, a particularly powerful cyclone is thought to have wiped out 800,000 square kilometres of ice. That contributed to record low sea-ice levels at the end of the 2012 melt year.

This year’s storm over the Beaufort Sea formed about mid-week and is expected to die out on the weekend.

It isn’t as strong as last year’s, but the ice is thinner and weaker. As well, the ice has already been pummelled by earlier storms.

“The effects of (the storm) are nowhere near what we saw last August,” said Asplin. “But because the ice is thinner and it’s already been pre-conditioned, and because there’s less volume, it’s much more vulnerable to impacts from this sort of thing.”

What a load of crap. The image below shows what the ice looked like right before last year’s storm hit on August 3. Beaufort Sea ice was nearly gone.

Compare with the start of the storm this year – there is a lot more ice this year than last.

But it is worse than it seems. This year the storm is headed three metre thick ice.

Do these people make it up as they go along?

They started the year with “it’s all thin and rotten and all going to melt” Then they moved on to “the multi-year ice along the Canadian coast has failed” Next came “an unprecedented hole in the ice near the North Pole” And this week it is “a lake has appeared on the ice at the North Pole”

These climochondriac morons can’t even stick with the same hysteria for more than a couple of weeks.

President Obama was bound to receive a warm response from the audience attending his speech at the University of Central Missouri yesterday — because some students who disagreed with him weren’t allowed into the building.

Christopher White of The College Fix reports that students wearing “Tea Party T-Shirts and others who wore patriotic or Republican-inspired clothing” were turned away at the door under the guise of security concerns, despite the fact that they held tickets to the event.

I’d like to offer a helpful tip to all College Republicans who hope to attend an Obama speech in the future: Odds of admission improve if you wear a Che Guevara t-shirt, an “I Heart Kim Jong Un” campaign button, and/or a ballcap displaying the slogan “Obama Girl” prominently above the brim.

D.C. area forecast: Sumptuous summer weather today and nearly as good Friday

Chicago had three murders in three hours on Tuesday night. Obama doesn’t seem interested for some reason.

Not much.

RRTM shows that the tropics receive 398 watts/m² downwelling longwave radiation. If there was no CO2, that would only drop to 392 watts/m²

In the tropics CO2 is only responsible for 1.5% of the greenhouse effect, and water vapor is responsible for almost all of the other 98.5%.

But it is worse than it seems. Almost all of CO2’s contribution is in the first 30 PPM. Additional man-made CO2 has essentially no effect on the energy balance in the tropics.

Satellite temperatures show that there has been almost no warming in the tropics.

In another sign the attacks were pre-meditated, three mortar rounds rained down on the compound. The first fell short of the annex, about 50 yards away, but the subsequent mortar rounds were direct hits.
