I watched Marc Morano on CNN tonight debating some Borg from the Sierra Club. Marc rattled off lots of facts and figures showing that the climate is not getting more extreme.
The Borg response : “Marc isn’t a scientist. Climate change is here. The science is settled.”
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
A few weeks ago the Republicans were holding a straight flush at the table with Obama. All they needed to do was hold their cards at the edge of the “Fiscal Cliff” and wait for Obama to fold. Had they allowed the “deadline” to pass, Obama would have agreed to anything they wanted within a few days. – because the people who would be affected were his constituency.
Instead, the Republicans dropped their cards and folded. Now Obama knows that he can run roughshod over them for everything from gun control to taxes.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he believes the primary goal of President Obama’s second term is to “annihilate the Republican Party.”
Boehner: Obama’s goal is to ‘annihilate’ the Republican Party – The Hill
Yes, and thanks to you John – he knows that he can do it.
Compare Boner to Reagan. Reagan fired the air traffic controllers, and no one ever messed with him again. You can’t win a battle if you are playing to lose. Are they going to fall over dead for all of Obama’s manufactured crises?
“Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms.”
Storms are driven by temperature, pressure and humidity gradients. If the Arctic warmed, these gradients would decrease and we would have fewer and weaker storms. If the Arctic was the same temperature as the equator, the Earth’s heat engine would turn off completely and there would be no storms, like on Venus.
In other words, President Obama is an idiot.
In 1974, the consensus agreed that global cooling was the new normal, and that much money was needed to study it. 97% of scientists understood that global cooling caused extreme weather.
H.H Lamb published this in 1966. The hockey stick occurred 5,000 years before Michael $10,000 Mann was born.
Alarmists claim that snow is caused by missing Arctic ice, but the historical record provides no support for that idea.
The graph below plots January Northern Hemisphere snow extent vs. January Arctic ice extent. There is no correlation. The years with highest and lowest snow extent both occurred with ~15 million km^2 of Arctic ice.

All through GWB’s presidency, lefties were hysterical that we were fighting wars over an addiction to Middle Eastern oil.
Now that we have a chance to become free from Middle Eastern oil, the same lefties are doing everything they can to prevent it from happening. They have devised a completely irrational and psychotic belief system, based around the idea that blocking development of domestic energy sources will somehow prevent bad weather in the future.
It would be difficult to imagine any belief system being more irrational, psychotic and self-destructive than that espoused by Barack Obama and the Democratic Party.
By turns emotional and fierce, Clinton choked up as she spoke of comforting the victims’ families and grew angry when a Republican senator accused the Obama administration of misleading the country over whether the Benghazi incident stemmed from a protest.
“With all due respect, the fact is that we had four dead Americans,” Clinton shot back as she testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, an appearance delayed more than a month because of her ill health.
“Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make?” she said, making chopping motions with her hands for emphasis.

In other words, the White House let them die and then lied about it to cover up ahead of the election.
In 2007, leading scientists in the US and UK predicted that the Arctic would be ice-free before the summer of 2013.
BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Arctic summers ice-free ‘by 2013?
Later, Obama’s science adviser announced that ice-free winters would follow shortly behind.
…if you lose the summer sea ice, there are phenomena that could lead you not so very long thereafter to lose the winter sea ice as well. And if you lose that sea ice year round, it’s going to mean drastic climatic change all over the hemisphere.
Tom Nelson: Complete barking madness from John Holdren, Obama’s science advisor
And now the Communist News Network has declared that the Arctic is indeed ice-free during winter 2013.
CNN meteorologist Chad Meyers declares that the Arctic is ice-free and is responsible for the cold weather.
there is no ice up here in the North Pole

h/t to John
All that warm toasty air from the ice-free Arctic is plunging south and bringing sub-zero weather to the US. Global warmers make Monty Python witch burners look like serious intellectuals. What kind of idiot would believe that there is no ice in the Arctic after four months of -30C temperatures?
