Real Climate Science

Climate experts tell us that the poles are melting down, which is why global sea ice area is eighth highest on record for the date.

The famous glaciers of the Rhone have shrunk several thousand feet in the last 20 years ; considerably more than 100 ft a year.

The release of proposed new national science standards, including the emphasis of manmade climate change, will alter the classroom landscape for millions of students in the United States, as well as for at least one education publisher readying for the “major” undertaking.

The Next Generation Science Standards, which were released Tuesday after development by 26 states and several national scientific organizations, recommend that educators for the first time identify climate change as a core concept and stress the relationship between that change and human activity.

“Human activities, such as the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, are major factors in the current rise in Earth’s mean surface temperature (global warming),” according to the elementary school standards

This is happening just as the consensus finally admits that the atmosphere is not warming.

The world is getting warmer – and US scientists now know precisely how much warmer. They calculated the radiation from the sun, the heat reflected back into space, and the rising temperature of the seas and say the extra warmth is equivalent to a 1 watt lightbulb shining constantly over an area of 1 sq metre everywhere on the planet.

That would raise average temperatures by 0.6C before the end of the century, they report in Science today. Warming at that level, maintained over 10,000 years, would melt enough ice to raise sea levels by a kilometre.

“This energy imbalance is the smoking gun that we have been looking for,” said James Hansen, director of Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “It shows that our estimates of the human-made and natural climate forcing agents are about right, and they are driving the Earth to a warmer climate.”

If you talk about Noah’s flood you are an idiot, but talking about Hansen’s flood means you are very enlightened.

Obama had to get rid of Hansen, because Obama says that he is lowering sea level.

Three out of the last four years have had above normal March snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere.

Tamino has been banging the declining spring snow cover drum for years. I expect to see a full retraction and apology on his part.

SENATOR JOHN BARRASSO: Since you’ve taken office, 10 percent of coal-fired generated power in the United States has been taken offline. Do you see the EPA having any responsibility for the thousands of folks who are out of work for these plant closures?

GINA MCCARTHY: Senator, I take my job seriously when I’m developing standards for protecting public health to take a look at the economic consequences of those and do my best to provide flexibility in the rules.

SHOGREN: Senator Barrasso continues his barrage, naming coal miners he’s met who are out of work for the first time in their lives.

BARRASSO: How many more times, if confirmed, will this EPA director pull the regulatory lever and allow another mining family to fall through the EPA’s trapdoor to joblessness, to poverty and to poor health?

SHOGREN: Hold on, says Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, she argues EPA’s rules help workers.

SENATOR BARBARA BOXER: Because if you care about this economy, there’s one basic fact. If you can’t breathe, you can’t work.

During the election, Obama needed Pennsylvania and Ohio – so he pretended that he was a big fan of coal for a couple of weeks. It turned out that lying wasn’t necessary, because he got 110% of the registered vote in Philadelphia.

It is essential that all children obey their teachers, as servants of the State, without question.

Therefore, children exhibiting the symptoms of mental illness, such as the need to move around during hour-long political lectures or the desire to talk while a commissar-instructor is presenting them with important political teachings, must be immediately medicated into a docile state of passivity.

This way, all impediments to proper ideological formation can be abolished through corrective political pharmacology.

Dear Comrades,

The Manhattangrad Department of Mandatory Health has announced that is has succeeded in diagnosing 20% of the Young Socialists in the school system with some form of mental illness, thus achieving their quota which is designed to keep pace with Party’s overall goal of doubling the number of disabled workers and peasants in the next decade.

Aside from the obvious social benefits of having more disabled children who are qualified for even more benefits, the medicating of these children is helping to stimulate the Pharmaceutical industry at a rate of more than $7 billion per year.

As Democrats grow increasingly worried that ObamaCare will explode on the launch pad just as midterm elections get going, the Obama administration seeks to pin blame on Republicans. Good luck with that.

Earlier this week, Health and Human Services head Kathleen Sebelius admitted that she didn’t realize how complicated getting ObamaCare off the ground would be.

Sebelius complained that “no one fully anticipated” the difficulties involved in implementing ObamaCare, or how confusing it would be with the public.
