We have a large percentage of people in the US who have never experienced any actual adversity, so they imagine that having to walk in warm air for 30 seconds between their air conditioned car and their office is a form of extreme suffering – unprecedented in human history. If their street fills with water after a rain, it is a biblical flood, and McDonald’s closing early is an unprecedented famine.

By wrecking the US energy infrastructure and throwing away their freedoms, they will become their own teachers.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

PBS says that a 0.7C rise in global temperature over the last 150 years is worse than this:

By the mid-18th century smallpox was a major endemic disease everywhere in the world except in Australia and in several small islands. In Europe smallpox was a leading cause of death in the 18th century, killing an estimated 400,000 Europeans each year.[59] Through the century smallpox resulted in the deaths of perhaps 10% of all the infants of Sweden every year,[10] and the death rate of infants in Russia may have been even higher

We are almost half way through the Arctic melt season, and there has been essentially no melting north of 80N this year.

It is safe to assume that the hockey team and the mainstream media will choose not to mention this fact to the public, because a free press is all about pushing an agenda.

Martin jumped Zimmerman, was standing over him pounding his face in and bashing his head against the pavement, and was screaming for help.

That makes sense. People pulverizing their opponent in a fight often scream for help.

The climate mafia is getting bolder and bolder with their lies.

Climate scum used to use the Yellowstone fire as proof of global warming, now they pretend it never happened.

A lot of hysteria this week from the usual scoundrels, about CO2 driven hot nighttime temperatures in Phoenix.

The National Weather Service reports that nighttime temperatures outside the metropolitan area are 7-13 degrees cooler (as anyone who lives there already knows)

The effects of the UHI are most pronounced during the summer (June-July-August) months. In a simple comparison, average high and low temperatures from Maricopa, AZ and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport were compared (Figures 2 and 3). Little difference exists between the high temperatures from 1961 through 2007; however, low temperatures have trended warmer at Sky Harbor as compared to Maricopa, indicative of the existence of a strengthening UHI. Similar results have been found by Brazel et al. (2000), who compared temperature observations at several urban stations in the PMA (Phoenix, Mesa, and Tempe) to a rural station outside the PMA (Sacaton). The average minimum May temperature at the urban locations displayed an apparent upward increase through the time series (1910 through 2000), which was attributed to the urban growth of the region. By the end of the series, there was a +4 to 7 ºC (7 to 13 ºF) difference between the urban minimum temperatures and the rural minimum temperatures.

There must be a CO2 bubble sitting over the city.

The animation below shows why the Canadian Archipelago rowers have delayed their launch.  On their advertised start date of July 1 the route was completely impassable. They have had a lucky break though, and between July 1 and July 4 southerly winds blew the ice 30 miles to the north, opening up a little bit of room for them.

Spain says it and other European countries were told that the NSAwhistleblower Edward Snowden was on board the Bolivian presidential plane that was diverted to Austria this week, causing a diplomatic row.

The foreign minister, José Manuel García-Margallo, said on Spanish National Television on Friday that “they told us that the information was clear, that he was inside“.

The minister did not say who supplied the information and declined to say whether he had been in contact with the United States. But he said European countries’ reactions were based on this information.

The Bolivian president, Evo Morales, claims the US pressured European countries to deny the plane flyover permission on Tuesday on suspicion that Snowden was using the flight as part of his bid to seek asylum.
