How Charles packed his prize pigs off to Italy… and they came back as ham costing £80 per lb
Prince Charles has sent two of his rare breed pigs to Italy to be turned into some of the finest ham known to man, cured in a medieval cellar with the help of the fog from a nearby river.
Prince Charles says that all the peasants need to sacrifice – for the good of the planet.

The North Pole has become an island for the first time in human history.
But to climate change scientists it is yet another sign of the damage global warming is inflicting on the planet.
Mark Serreze, a sea ice specialist, described the images as an ‘historic event’ – but warned they added to fears that the Arctic icecap has entered a ‘death spiral’.

Apparently human history is less than 15,000 years.
“Examination of several proxy records (e.g., sediment cores) of sea ice indicate ice-free or near ice-free summer conditions for at least some time during the period of 15,000 to 5,000 years ago”
Polar Bears can’t survive without ice, and that is why they have been extinct for 5,000 years.
NOAA claims that July 2012 was the hottest month in US history, but that is because they tamper with the data. It was the fourth hottest July, after 1901, 1936, and 1934.

July 22, 1901 may have been the hottest day in US history.

Another inconvenient time period was the 1930s. The EPA knows that they were very hot
The data doesn’t fit the theory, so Hansen simply got rid of the 1930s.
In the 1990 IPCC report, there was a strong Medieval Warm Period, and Little Ice Age
The data didn’t support the idea of catastrophic global warming, so they simply altered it for later reports.
NSIDC wants us to believe that satellite measurements began in 1979.
But satellite records go back much further, and showed ice gain in the 12 years prior to 1979. Paul Homewood found this quote from the CRU Director HH Lamb
Kukla & Kukla (1974) report that the area of snow and ice, integrated over the year across the Northern Hemisphere, was 12% more in 1973 than in 1967, when the first satellite surveys were made.
HH Lamb–“Climate: Present, Past & Future–Vol 2”–In Review–Part II « NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
From 1974 to 1979, the IPCC showed another large gain, based on satellite data which NSIDC ignores.
www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/far/wg_I/ipcc_far_wg_I_full_report.pdf
If NSIDC showed the complete satellite data set, people would know that Arctic behavior was cyclical, as we can see in the original GISS temperature graph from Iceland
Data.GISS: GISS Surface Temperature Analysis
Hansen of course didn’t want us to know about this cyclical behavior, so he got rid of it.

You can do that when you are an activist, who also controls the data.
I’m so tired of hearing hysterical lefties talking about how violent life is in the US.
Unless you live in a gun-free inner city dominated by gangs, chances are that you never see any violence outside of your television. The only shootings we ever have here in Fort Collins are when the police execute someone before they arrest them.
You are 100 times more likely to be killed by a car than by a rifle. Does CNN devote three weeks of air time to every one of the 10 million auto accidents which occur every year in the US? Do people obsess endlessly over auto accidents?
You are more likely to be killed by a hammer than by a rifle. The violent crime rate in the UK is eight times higher than in the US. Turn off your damn television you morons, It is driving you insane.
