Steig tells us that Antarctica is experiencing a fatal meltdown, with sea ice area above normal every day in 2012. The year is finishing with an average excess of more than 8,000 Manhattans of ice.

Less than three weeks ago, NRDC told us that Utah skiing is doomed due to the horrors of global warming.
Every snow measurement station in Utah is now above normal snowpack.

The global warming canary has flown out of the coal mine, and the press corpse has forgotten to mention yet another spectacular climate model failure.
I was listening to NPR again last night, and they were interviewing a crying hysterical woman who had moved to northern Michigan so that her children could see snow once in a while.
That was silly – she could have moved to California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico or Texas.

The Washington Post somehow missed this story.
Lincoln, VA is the closest GHCN/USHCN station in Virginia to Washington DC, and November was the coldest on record there.

New Study Shows Global Warming Is Rapidly Melting Ice at Both Poles
Global warming is melting Greenland and Antarctic ice and contributing to sea level rise
The Washington Post reports this shocking news
The GHCN station at nearby Beltsville, Maryland says that 2012 is the second warmest year.
But let’s move away from the urban sprawl, to the closest GHCN HCN station in Virginia. November was the coldest on record, temperatures have been declining for 80 years, and 2012 as a whole was below normal. The Washington DC temperature record is thoroughly contaminated by UHI, and is completely useless as a climate indicator.

NPR told us today that the summer of 2012 was a record breaker in the US. The only thing which broke any records was the level of BS coming from the ministry of truth..
An apples to apples comparison, shows that the summer of 1936 had five times as many record maximums as the summer of 2012.
Summertime average temperatures didn’t even crack the top five.
Summertime maximum temperatures barely cracked the top ten, and were 2.5 degrees cooler than 1936.
I was just moving some furniture in a blizzard and listening to Colorado Public Radio for an hour. All they talked about for an hour was climate change and gun control. They said that “increasing numbers of Coloradans were blaming the fires last summer on climate change”
Fortunately people in the 1890s weren’t as stupid as modern liberals.
