Real Climate Science

Our democracy has been hacked by this expansion of corporate power, preventing meaningful action on several crucial issues. The climate crisis is an instructive example. The strategic goal of the market fundamentalists to “reposition global warming as theory not fact” has created enough false doubt around the issue to hinder progress. The potential consequences of climate change have never been clearer than they are today. Consider what we saw in America just last year. 2012 was the hottest year in American history and 60% of America experienced drought. Extreme weather events, like Superstorm Sandy, caused over $110 billion of damages. Yet Congress remains paralyzed, with many lawmakers even refusing to acknowledge the validity of climate science. The future of our planet demands that we put the sustainability of our planet before corporate profit.

Al’s Journal : False Spontaneity of the Tea Party

Feinstein wants to steal your guns. Boxer wants to steal your money. Pelosi already stole your health care.

The tax would raise an estimated $1.2 trillion

Boxer’s push is a twist on carbon tax – SFGate

In other words, Boxer is trying to steal $12,000 from every family in America. Why aren’t these people being prosecuted for fraud, racketeering and extortion?

Disclaimer : I have no reason to believe that any of USHCN’s adjustments are legitimate. This image just shows how they have increased the amount of TOBS cheating they are doing between V1 and V2.

Up until 1950, V1 (black) and V2 (green) matched closely. In 1950, V2 took a step up – and again in 1990 V2 took a big step up. According to USHCN docs, TOBS did not change between V1 and V2, so something is clearly rotten in Denmark.

By 1999, the V2 TOBS adjustment was nearly double the V1 version, and going up exponentially. The USHCN adjustments were supposed to flat line after 1990, but they have done the exact opposite.

The animation below shows how USHCN has turned a cooling trend into a warming trend, all through the magic of several steps of data tampering.

In 1999, Hansen knew that the US was cooling. He didn’t start his massive cheating until later.

in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country

I just noticed a huge USHCN screw up. This is from the USHCN2 docs.

ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ushcn/v2/monthly/menne-etal2009.pdf

They say that the USHCN2 TOBS is about the same as the USHCN1 TOBS.

Now check out the USHCN1 docs.

ts.ushcn_anom25_diffs_pg.gif (650×502)

USHCN1 shows a 0.3 Fahrenheit increase in the TOBS adjustment from 1920 to 2000, but USHCN2 shows 0.3 Celsius increase in TOBS from 1920 to 2000.

Looks like they nearly doubled their adjustments, by not understanding the difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Either that or they were hoping to slip a huge cheat in under the radar. (I’ve looked at the data more closely now, and it is not a C v F discrepancy. The problem is that there are two upwards shifts in the USHCN2 data – one in 1950 and another in 1990. I will document this soon.)

All released NCDC US temperature data is severely tainted by this, including their claims of “hottest year ever”

You decide – incompetence, cheating, or both?

The purpose of the Berlin Wall was to keep citizens from fleeing communism. That may become the purpose of INS during the next four years.

The US struggled for 60 years to free the world from communism – so they came over here and took over the Democratic party.

I recently ran across Police Chief Mark Kessler of the Gilberton Borough Police Department in Pennsylvania. He wants citizens to join with his police department in building a “reserve force” that will aid his police force should the need arise to resist Federal authorities when it comes to the Second Amendment.

The reserve force will be made up of volunteers, they can be past or current police officers with act 120 training, along with non law enforcement personnel interested in joining the reserve force. All non law enforcement personnel won’t have any powers to arrest, but will be required to go through a background check, supply their own duty gear, uniform (military BDU, etc), weapons, ammunition. Everyone will be required to attend a firearms certification course to qualify with both long gun and hand gun at a rate set by the firearm instructor. There will also be hand to hand combat training, knife fighting training, urban combat training, sniper courses, search and rescue etc. The reserve force would only be called upon in the event of a Federal invasion or foreign invasion of the jurisdiction.

This woman is obviously not a skier.

The planet is getting warmer. I can feel it, you can feel it, and the winter tourism industry can definitely feel it. At 55.3 degrees Fahrenheit, last year marked the hottest year on record in the United States, edging out the previous record by one degree. Climate change is causing shorter winters and less snow, putting intense pressure on ski resorts and small businesses in the winter tourism industry that rely on snow to stay in business and employ thousands of Americans. Consider: This is a problem that’ll take more than zinc oxide to fix.

As usual, Think Progress is just making propaganda up as they go along. Winter snow cover is increasing. Last week they were hysterical about too much snow.

Obama and Biden keep saying that they aren’t confiscating guns – because that is exactly what they are trying to do.

Their plan is to lull America to sleep, so that they can stab us in the back. Obama has given 7,000 fully automatic weapons and 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition to his cabinet level mercenaries – for use inside the US.

Call up your Congressperson – while you still have one.

MSNBC abandons GOP convention during every speech by a minority

One of the left’s favorite attacks on the Republican Party is that it is the party of old white people, devoid of diversity and probably racist.

If you were watching MSNBC’s coverage of the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday night, you might believe those assertions, since missing from the coverage was nearly every ethnic minority that spoke during Tuesday’s festivities.

In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.

The report, presented to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois, asked the government to prosecute Pacific Institute President Peter Gleick, a prominent climate scientist and environmental activist.  Several presentations based on information contained in this document were made to the staff of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, including David Glockner, at the time head of the criminal division, and Gary Shapiro, now acting U.S. Attorney. So far, the government has declined to prosecute Peter Gleick.

The Obama banana republic does not prosecute people who support him, but if Gleick were convicted he would have to give up his shotgun.
