Real Climate Science

I’ve been warning for months that NOAA was going to claim that 2012 was the hottest year ever, regardless of the actual temperatures. They did it today.

The year 2012 was the warmest on record for the contiguous United States, beating the previous record by a full degree in temperature, a government climate agency said on Tuesday.  Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the average temperature in 2012 in the contiguous United States was 55.3 degrees Fahrenheit (12.94 degrees Celsius), 3.2 degrees above the average recorded during the 20th century and 1.0 degree above 1998, until now the hottest on record.

I will do a more complete analysis later, but for now I want you to focus on the bold sentence above, which claims that 1998 used to be the hottest year in the US.

In an article which NASA published in 1999, Hansen showed that 1998 was only the fifth warmest year, after 1934, 1921, 1931 and 1953. In fact, 1998 was 0.6C cooler than 1934.

NASA GISS: Science Briefs: Whither U.S. Climate?

Over the past decade, NASA and NOAA have continuously altered the temperature record to cool the past and warm the present. Their claims are straight out of Orwell’s 1984, and have nothing to do with science.

It appears that the US has gone full FUBAR.

This was written in 1991 by Milton Cooper, a member of the  U.S. Naval intelligence briefing team.

“The government encouraged the manufacture and importation of firearms for the criminals to use. This is intended to foster a feeling of insecurity, which would lead the American people to voluntarily disarm themselves by passing laws against firearms. Using drugs and hypnosis on mental patients in a process called Orion, the CIA inculcated the desire in these people to open fire on schoolyards and thus inflame the anti-gun lobby. This plan is well under way, and so far is working perfectly. The middle class is begging the government to do away with the 2nd Amendment.”

I will avoid making any disparaging remarks about turnips.

How do they feel about Gore the savior of green energy now?

The displeasure with Gore among the staff was thick enough to cut with a scimitar.

“We all know now that Al Gore is nothing but a bulls***ter,” said the staffer bluntly.

We do stories on the tax code, and he sells the network before the tax code kicked in?

“Al was always lecturing us about green. He kept his word about green all right—as in cold, hard cash!”

Wyoming has 60% gun ownership, and their crime rate is among the lowest in the US.

Gun Ownership, by State – Guns, by State – Gun Owners Percentage by State

The murder rate in Wyoming from 2000-2010 was 1.9 per 100,000 population, which is lower than many countries in Europe. Violent crime rates in Wyoming rank in the bottom six for the US.

By contrast, Connecticut has only 17% gun ownership.

Here in Fort Collins, just about everyone owns a gun, and we also have low crime rates. Our murder rate is about the same as the UK, but our overall crime rate is about one sixth of the UK. The crime rate in the UK in 2011 was 233 per 1,000 population, compared to only 38 per 1,000 population in Fort Collins.

The reason that we have such low crime rates is because everyone owns guns. The reason that the UK has such high crime rates is because no one owns guns.

Like everyone else on the left, Piers Morgan has no idea what he is talking about.

Hansen is a very talented guy. He can turn any cooling trend into a strong warming trend. If he worked for a private company, he would probably be eating dinner in Leavenworth this evening.

A bearded, disheveled James Holmes, the man accused of going on the deadly rampage, didn’t appear to show any emotion as Grizzle and the other officers testified Monday in a packed courtroom

A district judge forbade attorneys and investigators from discussing the case publicly, and many court documents have been under seal.

….

Oviatt pointed his gun at him, handcuffed him and searched him. He said he found two knives and a semi-automatic handgun on top of Holmes’ car. An ammunition clip fell out of his pocket and Oviatt found another on the ground. He said Holmes was dripping in sweat and his pupils were wide open.

Prosecutors did not indicate why Holmes’ pupils were dilated.

Oviatt said Holmes seemed “very, very relaxed” and didn’t seem to have “normal emotional reactions” to things. “He seemed very detached,” he said.

Holmes volunteered that his apartment had been booby trapped, the officers said.

At one point, Grizzle asked Holmes if anyone had been helping him or working with him. “He just looked at me and smiled … like a smirk,” Grizzle recalled.

We need to find out who assisted Holmes and what the US Government is hiding. Holmes father works for DARPA, and Holmes was studying drug induced alternate reality.

The Poudre School District has just put in place the same security procedures which were present at Sandy Hook on the day of the massacre.

A single point of entry to the school (many of which were recently retrofitted through the 2010 Bond)

·         All exterior doors locked with the exception of the front entrance

The Sandy Hook front entrance was locked

·         Physical monitoring of front entrance by a staff member during school hours

·         Security video cameras at each school (many of which will be enhanced through the 2010 Bond)

This will allow them to later identify the perpetrator

·         Sign-in procedures for all visitors with identifying badges

·         Lock-down and lock-out drills that are routinely practiced at each school

·         Emergency response training for staff

·         Ongoing heightened awareness of safety issues by building leaders

·         Members of the PSD mental health team are available to assist with student issues

Schools need armed personnel, just like banks and office buildings. Gun free zones are an invitation for psychos

Obama wants us to get permission from the EU before we eat, adjust our thermostat or drive an SUV.

The UN wants to ban guns globally, to prevent machete massacres like the one in Rwanda which the UN oversaw and did nothing about.

History teaches us that governments are always to be trusted, and that an unarmed citizenry is a wonderful option against a tyrannical government.

According to FBI statistics, Americans are more likely to be murdered by a hammer than by a rifle.

FBI — Expanded Homicide Data Table 11

The government needs to pass laws banning all future hammer sales. Existing hammers can be grandfathered in if the individual pays a $200 fee, passes a national background check, and registers their hammer in a national database.

Then Janet Hasson can publish a map of all hammer owners, because parents deserve to know if any of their neighbors own construction equipment.
