Crack scientists are spending billions of dollars studying methods to isolate the man made temperature footprint from the natural temperature footprint. Can you help them?
What percentage of the 0.0C change in temperature over the sixteen years is due to man made CO2?
Melting Ice May Swamp Seaports
CLEVELAND. February 18.— Dr. William S. Carlson, an Arctic expert, said last night that polar ice caps were melting at an astonishing and unexplained rate, and threatening to swamp seaports by raising ocean levels.
“The glaciers of Norway and Alaska are only half the size they were 50 years ago. The temperature around Spitzbergen has so modified that the sailing time has lengthened from three to eight months of the year”
Mitt Romney said that he expected a “very solid win” tonight, extending his campaign into the final hours of voting in order to make an eleventh-hour play for the swing state support that he still believes can push him into the White House.
The Republican candidate, a life-long teetotaller, revealed that organisers of his Election Night Party, at the huge steel-and-glass Convention Center in central Boston, have been instructed to put sparkling apple juice on ice in preparation for the moment of victory.
“I’m expecting a very solid win tonight and I’m looking forward to being able to represent all the people in getting this country going again,” he told WMAL, a conservative talk radio station, today. “I’m looking forward to rebuilding our military, rebuilding our economy Getting better jobs, and getting that attractive balanced budget.”
Old TV shows and movies remind us that the weather always used to be pleasant (except for that twister in Kansas which bumped Dorothy on the head, and an occasional typhoon on Gilligan’s Island.)
Vote to return to the nice weather from the past. Only taxes can prevent bad weather.
I think it might also have been hot in Cool Hand Luke.

I propose that the AGU ethics officer, Peter Gleick, be placed in charge of balloting oversight.
He has experience with document forgery, and should be able to spot a bad ballot. They look like this.

Polar Bears understand that they will all drown unless Americans pay higher taxes.
Katharine Hayhoe is an evangelical environmentalist who has experienced her share of opposition. A Nobel Prize winning atmospheric scientist who co-authored “A Climate for Change” with her preacher husband Andrew Farley, Ms. Hayhoe found, to her dismay, that Newt Gingrich cut her chapter on climate change from his book without advance notice.

Traditional young earth creationists believe that the earth was formed 6,000 years ago, but Katherine believes that time began in 1970.
I predict that Romney will win Texas, Wyoming and Utah and Obama will win California and New York. This is based on sophisticated super-computer modeling written in Fortran and Ada by crack government scientists.
