Real Climate Science

Most people would describe this trend as being horizontal.

But Mann and Marcott see it as being vertical. This is because their minds are rotated left by 90 degrees.

March temperatures to date have been the coldest since 1960 in Tennessee, and have barely warmed since January 1.

Alex Hill, chief government advisor with the Met Office, said the amount of snow in the Scottish mountains had been decreasing for the last 40 years and there was no reason for the decline to stop. He added: “Put it this way, I will not be investing in the ski-ing industry.

Scottish ski industry could disappear due to global warming, warns Met Office – Telegraph

There is no reason for the decline in Met Office credibility to stop.

The US is going through the same transition which Germany did during the 1930s.

Marcott’s hockey stick is turning out to be a complete disaster for the team, lacking any credibility and making a farce out of both climate science and the peer-review process. Can we safely assume that Michael Mann reviewed it?

As damaging as the earthquake and its aftershocks were, the fires that burned out of control afterward were even more destructive.[19] It has been estimated that up to 90% of the total destruction was the result of the subsequent fires.[20] Over 30 fires, caused by ruptured gas mains, destroyed approximately 25,000 buildings on 490 city blocks.

Obama’s approach is to do everything by decree and presidential mandate. He skips the discussion, debate, due process, checks and balances, Congress, courts, Constitutional mandates, and most importantly the will of the people. He gets half the country to go along with this by keeping them in a constant state of fear.

He is trying to run a frustrated dictatorship, not a presidency of the US.

I have talked quite a bit about the dangers of CNG vehicles, but the much bigger danger is the CNG infrastructure required to maintain them. CNG pipelines, tanks and fuel depots would cover the country.

These are all ideal targets for terrorists. All they need to do is violate the integrity of the high pressure pipeline or storage tank, and massive amounts of methane will immediately disperse across a wide area. One spark and a massive explosion occurs, like what happened in Brenham, Texas.

Building this infrastructure would provide America’s enemies a simple and nearly indefensible way to destroy the country in a matter of a few minutes.

It has happened before, under much less extreme confditions. In 1906, San Francisco was destroyed by fires caused by ruptured low-pressure gas lines after an earthquake.

What Obama is proposing is vastly more dangerous. Which makes me wonder – is he an idiot, or is he planning genocide? His justification is to reduce CO2 emissions by a few percent. Complete insanity.

Temperatures in Florida so far this month have been the coldest on record.

It is likely that by the end of the month, the average temperature will rise and 2013 may not end up being the coldest – but it should be in the bottom five and possibly the bottom two.
