Hansen says warming has slowed. Jones says warming has slowed. But The Guardian grabs the torch and accelerates the bullshit past a level which even Hansen can stomach.

That is called fraud and journalistic malfeasance, Dana.

Ten million people a year in the US alone get injured by these slaughter machines. That is one every three seconds.

About 35 people a year in the US get killed by assault rifles, compared to 700 who get killed by hammers, and 35,000 who get killed by cars.

Obama wants people terrified of rifles, because it makes it easier for him to destroy the Bill of Rights.

The CIA pushed to have one of the suspected Boston Marathon bombers placed on a U.S. counterterrorism watch list more than a year before the attacks, U.S. officials said Wednesday.

Russian authorities contacted the CIA in the fall of 2011 and raised concerns that Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed last week in a confrontation with police, was seen as an increasingly radical Islamist who could be planning to travel overseas.

Obama’s focus on disarming Americans and getting rid of American war heroes and conservatives, appears to have left some rather large security holes.

General Motors Co. (GM), which introduced the Volt in 2010, said its 2014 Chevrolet Spark plug- in can travel 82 miles (132 kilometers) when fully charged, in its latest attempt to attract new customers for green cars.

The Spark can be fully refueled in about seven hours using a 240-volt charger

That is awesome. You drive 82 miles in a couple of hours, and then wait seven hours to recharge (assuming you can find a 240 volt charger.) That works out to 9 MPH, so you could drive coast to coast in only two or three months.

And it runs off clean burning electricity!

4. El Niño Becomes Permanent

If El Niño–a periodic disruption of the ocean and atmosphere in the tropical Pacific–becomes the average state of the region’s climate as global warming progresses, widespread shifts in precipitation patterns (above, homes slide into the sea during El Niño storms in Pacifica, California) will ensue, said a majority of scientists who responded to a climate survey released on March 16, 2009
