On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” the Center for American Progress’ Christie Hefner said that Chicago’s sky-high murder rate could be blamed — at least in part — on climate change.

Brilliant theory, except that Illinois summers are getting cooler, and July 2009 was the coldest July on record in Illinois.

These are the people who Feinstein is counting on to wreck the Second Amendment.

A store calling itself Fearless Distributing opened early last year on an out-of-the-way street in Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood, offering designer clothes, athletic shoes, jewelry and drug paraphernalia.

Those working behind the counter, however, weren’t interested in selling anything.

They were undercover agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives running a storefront sting aimed at busting criminal operations in the city by purchasing drugs and guns from felons.

But the effort to date has not snared any major dealers or taken down a gang. Instead, it resulted in a string of mistakes and failures, including an ATF military-style machine gun landing on the streets of Milwaukee and the agency having $35,000 in merchandise stolen from its store, a Journal Sentinel investigation has found.

When the 10-month operation was shut down after the burglary, agents and Milwaukee police officers who participated in the sting cleared out the store but left behind a sensitive document that listed names, vehicles and phone numbers of undercover agents.

And the agency remains locked in a battle with the building’s owner, who says he is owed about $15,000 because of utility bills, holes in the walls, broken doors and damage from an overflowing toilet.

The sting resulted in charges being filed against about 30 people, most for low-level drug sales and gun possession counts. But agents had the wrong person in at least three cases. In one, they charged a man who was in prison – as a result of an earlier ATF case – at the time agents said he was selling drugs to them.

According to NOAA historical records – July, 1936 was much hotter than July 2012. Why is NOAA saying now that 2012 was hotter?

July 2012 didn’t even crack the top ten for number of July all-time daily record maximums. There were five times as many daily maximum temperature records in July, 1936 as there were in 2012

Since the beginning of the 1970s, the global temperature has risen strongly. However in the last 10-15 years the trend has flattened out considerably. Depending on the year used as a starting point, the trend is practically zero. This is what temperature curves from the different institutes show. Even when there are some slight variations between the curves, they all show the same pattern

The fact that the global temperature rise has stagnated does not contradict long-term climate change. To the contrary: Also in the future we have to anticipate short periods of stagnation or cooling. In principle, the science is not surprised by this finding. This is because such short-term temperature behavior also occurs in climate models (see chart). And that, by the way, in the same models that postulate an anthropogenic temperature increase over the long term.”

Yellow Science…Renowned Climate Modeller Now Claims Temperature Stagnation Is Actually Evidence Of Warming!

You can see this quite clearly in Hansen’s 1988 forecasts which show very rapid, steady warming after the year 2000.

The nine hottest summers (based on afternoon maximum temperature) all occurred below 350 ppm CO2

There are 824 GHCN HCN stations which have been continuously active since at least 1920, The graph below shows how many of them set their all-time record maximum each year. As you can see, the US used to be much hotter, and the summer of 1936 was by far the hottest summer.

The constant barrage of misinformation coming from NOAA and elsewhere about the weather, seems to have lead a significant portion of the population to believe that all weather events are unprecedented – and due to something called “climate change.”

No one actually knows what climate change is, but it is something very bad and it is the fault of Republicans. For example, the beautiful weather last winter in the Eastern US was extreme and something we desperately need to correct, if only the Republican deniers would get out of the way.

I doubt that any of them have ever thought through how they would identify what they are trying to fix, how they would fix it, or how they would later determine if they had fixed it.

The bottom line is that the climate change religion is nothing more than a hate group – people who are looking to vent their anger. They would have been burning witches had they lived a few hundred years ago.
