Real Climate Science

The whacko left is convinced that the cost of fossil fuels far exceeds its benefits. They won’t understand their mind-boggling stupidity until the light and heat goes off.

80% of my kid’s practices and games have been cancelled this year due to snow. Another one coming up Saturday.

If You Thought 2012 Was Hot, Just Wait a Few Years

It’s already March, but the country is still recovering from last year’s extreme weather and climate events. As the hottest year on record in the U.S., 2012 brought intense drought across the Midwest and Great Plains, record wildfires in the West, and Hurricane Sandy’s path of destruction to the East Coast.

But if you thought 2012 was hot, just wait a few years. Within the coming decades, years like 2012 may become simply “average.” And if we keep emitting CO2 at the current rate, it won’t be long before years like 2012 feel cold.

US temperatures are below normal in 2013, NOAA jacked 2012 temperatures up by 1.5 degrees, the number of wildfires was the lowest since 2005, and the US is experiencing the longest period without a major hurricane strike since the Civil War.

In his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast last month, Dr. Carson criticized the health care overhaul and higher taxes on the rich, while warning that “the P.C. police are out in force at all times.”  Overnight, he was embraced by conservatives including those at The Wall Street Journal editorial page, which proclaimed, “Ben Carson for President” — a suggestion Dr. Carson helped feed at a high-profile gathering last weekend, the Conservative Political Action Conference. He was interrupted by sustained cheers when he coyly said, “Let’s just say if you magically put me in the White House…”

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) – U.S. President Barack Obama is meeting Palestinian officials on the second day of his Mideast tour to emphasize the importance of reaching an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, a message underscored Thursday when Palestinian militants in Gaza launched rockets into southern Israel.

US temperatures are forecast to be far below normal for the rest of the month, so it is difficult to determine where March 2012 will end in the rankings. Possibly the coldest in 44 years.

Cuomo has organized a KGB style network intend to create hatred and distrust between neighbors. He also expects that criminals will abide by his bullet bans.

Nearly a year before signing the nation’s most stringent gun control measure into law, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched a hotline that allows state residents to report illegal gun owners in exchange for a $500 reward.

How cool – you can ruin your neighbor’s life by simply making an accusation, and maybe collect cash for telling a big enough lie.

Cuomo said the state needs to allow the sale of handguns and rifles with 10-shot magazines, but New Yorkers will still be required to keep no more than seven bullets in them, except at shooting ranges and competitions. Violating the seven-bullet limit is a misdemeanor but a violation if the magazine is in the owner’s home.

No doubt criminals will keep Cuomo’s bullet limits in mind on their way out to commit a crime.

Over the past decade scientists thought they had figured out how to protect humanity from the worst dangers of climate change.

Now it appears that the assessment was too optimistic. The latest data from across the globe show that the planet is changing faster than expected.
