Real Climate Science

Today is six months since the Sandy Hook shooting, and Obama has not lifted a finger to improve school security, or remove illegal guns from city streets.

Instead, he focused all of his energy on disarming law-abiding Americans, and sending guns to Islamic terrorists.

He says that terrorists need the guns to protect themselves from tyranny, but law-abiding Americans should not be allowed to own guns.

Obama also says that the only purpose for self-reloading rifles is to kill lots of people, and has distributed 7,000 of them to DHS agents for personal defense.

Heat Waves “Almost Certainly” Due to Global Warming?

Hansen wrote the exact opposite in 1999.

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath…..

in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country

The EPA wrote this in 2008 :

Heat waves occurred with high frequency in the 1930s, and these remain the most severe heat waves in the U.S. historical record (see Figure 1). Many years of intense drought (the “Dust Bowl”) contributed to these heat waves by depleting soil moisture and reducing the moderating effects of evaporation.

So why is Hansen spewing gibberish to National Geographic?

Check out this story in the WaPo. Globe warming out of control.

Global warming appears to have slowed lately. That’s no reason to celebrate.

Note how NOAA cleverly truncated the left side at 1950 (among other abuses.)

Below I tacked on the 1975 National Academy of Sciences Northern hemisphere graph from 1975, at the same scale. Current temperatures are no warmer than 1940.

Also note how NOAA has massively cooled pre-1960 temperatures, in their graph.

Benghazi investigative reporter was hacked multiple times.

CBS News announced Friday that correspondent Sharyl Attkisson’s computer was hacked by “an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions,” confirming Attkisson’s previous revelation of the hacking.

CBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair said that a cybersecurity firm hired by CBS News “has determined through forensic analysis” that “Attkisson’s computer was accessed by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions in late 2012.”

“Evidence suggests this party performed all access remotely using Attkisson’s accounts. While no malicious code was found, forensic analysis revealed an intruder had executed commands that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data. This party also used sophisticated methods to remove all possible indications of unauthorized activity, and alter system times to cause further confusion. CBS News is taking steps to identify the responsible party and their method of access.”
