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.

Obama thinks there are 31 counties in Hawaii, when there are only five.

h/t to Watts Up With That?

Climate morons have this idea that Arctic sea ice used to hang around for thousands of years, until the SUV was invented.

In fact, Arctic sea ice never gets much over five years old. Eventually it all drifts  out into the North Atlantic and melts, mostly during winter. During the winters of 1988-1996, most of the older, thicker ice drifted out into the North Atlantic, causing extent to decline.

For the past three or four years, the pattern has reversed and much less old ice is drifting into the North Atlantic. This is causing Arctic ice extent to increase.

NASHVILLE — A Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation deputy director warned a group of Maury County residents that unfounded complaints about water quality could be considered an “act of terrorism.”

“We take water quality very seriously. Very, very seriously,” said Sherwin Smith, deputy director of TDEC’s Division of Water Resources, according to audio recorded by attendees. “But you need to make sure that when you make water quality complaints you have a basis, because federally, if there’s no water quality issues, that can be considered under Homeland Security an act of terrorism.”

Official: Water complaints could be ‘act of terrorism’

The Obama administration for more than two years permitted the National Security Agency to continue collecting vast amounts of records detailing the email and internet usage of Americans, according to secret documents obtained by the Guardian.

The government watchdog that exposed IRS targeting of conservative groups gave a blunt response to Democrats’ claims that the agency also targeted liberals: It never happened.

“We found no indication in any of these other materials that ‘Progressives’ was a term used to refer cases for scrutiny for political campaign intervention,” IRS Inspector General J. Russell George wrote in a letter to Democrats.
