Had we listened to Hansen in 1989, we wouldn’t be having 225 MPH hurricanes now.

He also said that the odds of drought in the 1950s was 20:1 – which is fascinating because more than half of the years during the 1950s were drought years.

Global warming heat used to go directly to Alaska and the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula.

Now it avoids those places and sneaks to the bottom of the ocean, undetected.

The debate is over, the science is settled!

The slowdown is a bit of a mystery to climate scientists.

i.e. they are completely clueless

So the real question is where all that heat is going, if not to warm the surface. And a prime suspect is the deep ocean. Our measurements there are not good enough to confirm it absolutely, but a growing body of research suggests this may be an important part of the answer.

It isn’t going anywhere, because it doesn’t exist

Exactly why the ocean would have started to draw down extra heat in recent years is a mystery, and one we badly need to understand. But the main ideas have to do with possible shifts in winds and currents that are causing surface heat to be pulled down faster than before.

Trying to understand nonsense is a complete waste of time.

The deep-ocean theory is one of a half-dozen explanations that have been proffered for the warming plateau. Perhaps the answer will turn out to be some mix of all of them. And in any event, computer forecasts of climate change suggest that pauses in warming lasting a couple of decades should not surprise us.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (CBS Cleveland) — Arizona authorities charge a man for driving under the influence despite him blowing a .000 on a breathalyzer test.

KNXV-TV reports that 64-year-old Jessie Thornton – a native of Ohio – was recently pulled over by Surprise police after he recently left an LA Fitness gym. Thornton then says the officer accused him of driving drunk.

“He walked up and he said ‘I can tell you’re driving DUI by looking in your eyes,’” Thornton told KNXV.

Thornton was then given a sobriety test.

“I take my glasses off and he says, ‘You’ve got bloodshot eyes.’ I said, ‘I’ve been swimming at LA Fitness,’ and he says, ‘I think you’re DUI,’” said Thornton. “He goes, ‘Well we’re going to do a sobriety test.’ I said, ‘OK, but I got bad knees and a bad hip with surgery in two days.’”

Despite the DUI charge being dropped, his car was impounded. He is now suing the City of Surprise for half a million dollars.

“This is a case of D-W-B, driving while black,” Marc Victor, Thornton’s attorney, told KNXV.

The Surprise Police Department did not comment on the case
