I suggest that Obama legislate gravity before he legislates the climate. A 50% reduction in gravity would greatly reduce the obesity problem among his supporters.

Bloomberg and Michelle need to limit Christie’s soft drink consumption.

There was a hurricane last week. Hurricanes never used to happen, so it must have been caused by Mann made climate change.

Chinese aerosols are blamed for the failure of climate models. (Apparently they gunk up the Fortran.)

Translating this in science terms.

We have been damn lucky that there have been no large volcanic eruptions for twenty years. Another Pinatubo and we are completely screwed for funding.

I just got off the phone with a recruiter who says that 300,000 layoffs are coming imminently to defense contractors. Obama gave them a waiver to not give notice until after the election.

An administration that doesn’t want layoff notices required by law going out days before the November election is telling defense contractors they don’t have to send them for the cuts required by sequestration.

As the heads of major defense contractors Lockheed Martin, EADS North America, Pratt & Whitney and Williams-Pyro testified recently before the House Armed Services Committee, they are bound by law to give employees 60 days’ notice if their jobs are going to be terminated as a result of sequestration cuts scheduled for Jan. 2.

Federal law under the WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notice) Act required employers to give workers a minimum of 60 days notice before potential mass layoffs.

That means layoff warning notices could go out to hundreds of thousands of workers just days before the presidential election, a prospect President Obama and his administration do not relish.

I never ride on busy roads, because about half of all drivers are complete idiots behind the wheel of a car.

World on track for 6C warming without carbon cuts, study shows Current rates of decarbonisation are well short of the 5% a year needed to avoid worst effects of climate change.

You can see the 6C trend very clearly below. We should reach six degrees is slightly over infinity years.

Obama failed to stop Hurricane Sandy during his first term, but he hints that he will try to do better during his second term.

He forgot to mention his messianic abilities during the debates. Must have slipped his mind at the time.
