CBS News reports that 27 players have been arrested since the Super Bowl on Feb. 3. Just over the past two days alone two players are facing murder charges. New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder in the death of Odin Lloyd while Cleveland Browns rookie Ausar Walcott was charged with attempted murder Monday for allegedly punching a man in the head outside a club in New Jersey.

Way back in 1998 people just didn’t know how to measure temperatures properly, so Hansen recently had to add 0.3C to 1998 temperatures. In the 1930s people were also too dumb to read thermometers, but they had the opposite problem and always read them a few tenths of a degree too high.

Fortunately we have very smart people like James Hansen and Tom Karl who can travel back in time and measure the actual temperatures .

On Tuesday Obama had a major sweating attack during his global warming speech in DC, but pictures out of Africa indicate that the attack has ended.

People from Kenya, Indonesia and Hawaii just aren’t used to warm weather.

What a load of crap. Hansen did a major crawlback in December, 1988.

The Waldo-Canyon Fire of 2012 was the most destructive wildfire in the state’s history. It consumed over 346 homes, burned more than 18,200 acres, forced the evacuation of more than 32,000 residents, and cost $8.8 million to contain.

Complete bullshit. The Hayman fire in 2002 was 138,000 acres, and the 1898 fire was about 5,000,000 acres.

Colorado experienced over $1.0 billion in hail damage due to a series of storms in June 2012.

A single hailstorm on July 11, 1990 did $1.1 billion damage. We have destructive hailstorms all the time.

 In Colorado, there were over 4,300 hospital admissions for asthma in 2011, with an average charge
of over $19,600 for each stay.

Asthma has nothing to do with CO2.

An outbreak of the mountain pine beetle in 2006 killed 5 million lodgepole pines in one year, a four-fold increase over 2005. The infestation covered nearly half of all Colorado’s forests.

The pine beetle infestation is over. Infestations are largely due to 80 years of fire suppression.

How is Obama different from Goebbels?

It is almost 100F here in Fort Collins. I don’t have an air conditioner, but I am staying very cool. I have a fan set up about 10 feet away, and soak my shirt in water about once every two hours.

At ASU, we used to thoughtfully invite coeds over for wet T-shirt contests, in order to help them stay cool. That would probably be illegal now, because of gender profiling.
