Like Antarctica, sea ice off the Alaskan coast has been running normal or above for more than a year, and both have hit record highs during the past year.
Climate experts say that Antarctica and Alaska are the canary in the coal mine, and that the Arctic will be ice-free in a few months.

Marijuana tourism is on the way to Colorado, under a recommendation made Tuesday by a state task force to regulate the drug made legal by voters last year.
But Colorado should erect signs in airports and borders telling visitors they can’t take pot home, the task force recommended.
Colorado’s marijuana task force was assembled to suggest regulations for pot after voters chose to flout federal drug law and allow its use without a doctor’s recommendation. Made up of lawmakers, law enforcement authorities and marijuana activists, the task force agreed Tuesday that the constitutional amendment on marijuana simply says that adults over 21 can use the drug, not just Colorado residents. If lawmakers agree with the recommendation, tourists would be free to buy and smoke marijuana.The Associated Press: Pot tourism in Colo.? Marijuana regulators OK idea
Suzanne Goldenberg reports that super-secret donors are giving vast amounts of money to us climate skeptics. This money is so secret, that even us skeptics don’t know about it.
While the secretive Donors Trust has given millions to a variety of right-wing causes, denying climate change appears to be its top priority. An analysis by the environmentalist group Greenpeace reveals Donors Trust has funneled more than one-third of its donations — at least $146 million — to more than 100 climate change denial groups over the past decade. In 2010, 12 of these groups received between 30 to 70 percent of their funding from Donors Trust. We’re joined by Suzanne Goldenberg, U.S. environment correspondent for The Guardian, who has written a series of articles detailing the ties between Donors Trust and opponents of climate change science. “The goal here is to create this illusion, this idea that there is a really strong movement against the science of climate change and against action on climate change,” Goldenberg says

I wonder what it is like being a leftie, and living in a nonstop world of paranoia, fantasy and irrational psychosis.
Legislator Jesse Ullibari says that people should wait for the shooter to run out of ammunition, and then attack him with a ball point pen. Jesse thinks it is better to have the psycho shoot fifteen people, than to have a CCW holder put the shooter down.

We have severely mentally ill people running our government. Rapists love these Democrats, because they make their job much easier and safer.
This is why we have the Second Amendment – which lefties are desperate to destroy.
LAPD shot these two Asian ladies 30 times – for driving a pickup truck and looking like a 270 pound black man.
I’ve never been scared of guns in civilian or military hands, but I am terrified of guns in the hands of police and other government para-military hacks. Like the armed SWAT team guy who was hanging out in the woods next to Sandy Hook Elementary School during a recent massacre.
Our Democratic friends are doing exactly what the White House wants them to do – unilateral disarmament. Someday in the not too distant future they will beg for someone to rescue them from the nightmare they created.
Democrats are right to be scared of guns -the 7,000 automatic rifles and 1.6 billion rounds of ammo which Obama has delivered to his para-military are indeed very frightening.
That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided, as dangerous to liberty; and that, in all cases, the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.
What part of that isn’t clear?
It is becoming apparent that most Democrats are stuck in an infantile mentality, and that their entire plan for the future is based on emotional and physical dependency on Mommie Hussein Dearest.
