Obama needed Ohio and Pennsylvania, so he lied to the people there about his position on coal.
SEATTLE–The White House Council on Environmental Quality has convened a series of meetings with federal regulators over the past nine months as the Obama administration shapes environmental impact analyses for the building of terminals to export coal to Asia.
Note that the trend would be much steeper, except for the cold years in 1993 and 1994 after the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.
Why Skepticism About Computer Models Is Not A Good Reason For Skepticism About Climate Change
“The basis for human activities being the primary driver of the recent changes in climate is observation and the physical understanding of the processes that drive our climate system. Models of these physical processes further add to this understanding, especially for the future projections of further changes, but the basic science is based on observation.”
Complete bullshit. There has been no warming for 17 years, and Hansen’s whole theory is based on modeled feedbacks. No one thinks that CO2 by itself can produce catastrophic global warming.

Morrissey: ‘If men were homosexual, there would be no wars’
“If more men were homosexual, there would be no wars, because homosexual men would never kill other men, whereas heterosexual men love killing other men. “They even get medals for it. Women don’t go to war to kill other women. Wars and armies and nuclear weapons are essentially heterosexual hobbies.”
Morrissey: ‘If men were homosexual, there would be no wars’ – Telegraph
If all men were gay, then there wouldn’t be any people and cockroaches could again rule the planet. And he seems to be making a very strong case against gays the military.
Morrissey seems to be projecting some violent psychosis inside his own mind.

The last couple of weeks have been running very cold in the Arctic. Climate experts say that most global warming is due to increases in Arctic winter temperatures.
The animation below flashes between April 2012 and February 2013 at the Greenland Summit Camp. Note how their greenhouse (the closer building) has become half buried in ice and snow.
This huge weight of new ice forces the ice sheet to deform and spread out towards the ocean, causing icebergs to calve into the sea.
James Blalog then takes pictures of these calving events, posts them all over the Denver airport, and sells them to mindless eco-dupes as evidence of global warming.
NOAA was tasked by politicians with making 2012 the hottest and most extreme year ever, so they jacked temperatures way up and came up with a nonsensical Climate Extremes Index, which made mild weather be classified as extreme.
Using their indices, the stormy start to 2013 will be rated much less extreme than the mild start to 2012.
I spent last winter in the Northeast, and there was not one single occurrence of extreme weather, yet NOAA classified it as the third most extreme winter on record. The weather was picture perfect last winter. I should know, because I didn’t have a car and rode a bicycle for all of my transport.
If global warming causes an early spring, than global cooling must cause a late one.
