We regret to inform you that your man-child Barack Obama has failed for the reasons given below.

• Making energy prices skyrocket     A+
• Golf                                                      A+
• Bowling                                                F
• American History                              F
  • Barack believes that George Bush is still the president of the US
• Messianic activities                           B
  • Barack did slow the rise of the oceans, but he failed his final project when Hurricane Sandy destroyed the east coast last week
• Terrorism                                           C
  • Barack personally killed Osama several times, but his final project in Benghazi was a big failure and then he lied about it. Workplace violence at Fort Hood was unacceptable, and talking to Iran doesn’t seem to have worked
• Balancing the budget                        F
  • We feel that $16 trillion debt does not qualify as a balanced budget
• Unifying the country                        F
• Employment                                      F
  • Barack promised 5.5% unemployment in Q4 2012 if we gave him a trillion dollars
• Health                                                F
  • “We have to pass the bill so that we can find out what is in it” – Barack’s girlfriend Nancy
• Foreign affairs                                  B
  • Barack had a good affair, but her thighs are rather chunky 
• Race baiting and class warfare       A
• Apologizing                                        C
  • Barack was excellent at apologizing to other countries, but seemed unable to take responsibility for anything on American soil.
• Attendance                                        F

The committee is divided on the issue of allowing Barack the opportunity to repeat. Forty-seven percent of our staff believe that given four more years, Barack would turn out to be a completely different person.

SO THIS IS SOLAR MAXIMUM?

Forecasters have long expected the Solar Max of 2013 to be the weakest of the Space Age. It might be even weaker than they thought. As shown in this 20-year plot of sunspot counts vs. time, the sun is underperforming:

Young blackbirds found dead at a primary school in Cumbria suffered from alcohol poisoning, according to an investigation.

Animal health specialists were called to examine a dozen birds found in the playground, many with trauma injuries.

Post-mortem analysis revealed that one of the birds had a large amount of pure alcohol in its liver.

Scientists suggest the birds sustained their injuries in flight because they were intoxicated by fermented berries.

“We’re going to get to that meter whether it’s on a straight line into the future or in that dramatic uptick that the vast majority of scientists believe is happening.”

North Carolina’s coast is ‘hot spot’ for rising sea levels | CharlotteObserver.com

There is no dramatic uptick in North Carolina or anywhere else.

Data and Station Information for WILMINGTON

Both North Carolina and global show 2 mm/year. Why do many climate scientists believe that it is OK to lie? There is not one shred of evidence supporting the idea of a dramatic uptick.

Russell Cook sent this over :

11. COOK: The program proclaimed the sea level rise won’t be stopped by some Carolina committee’s ignorance of it — but sea level rise will also not rise at the request of the IPCC’s prediction models, and according to a U. of Colorado study, “over the next 88 years, sea level would be expected to rise five inches in North Carolina” in direct contradiction to the Carolina committee’s report.

FL RESPONSE: We contacted the Univ. of Colorado, which denied this claim made on a blog. Steven Neerem, professor at the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research, told us: “I have never made a statement or provided a quote about sea level rise in North Carolina.” And also “What Mr. Goddard appears to have done is to linearly extrapolate the last 20 years of satellite data from our website, which would indeed result in only 5″ of sea level rise by 2100. However, no reputable scientist would linearly extrapolate 20 years of sea level data (a very short data record) to predict sea level rise 88 years later. Even longer tide gauge records would not give the complete picture, because they do not consider many factors including the acceleration of sea level rise that is expected from rising greenhouse gases. Regional predictions of future sea level rise must factor in the increasing heat content of the oceans and the locations of these changes, the melting of ice around the world and regional variations in sea level rise that result, as well as changes in ocean circulation due to all these factors including the addition of freshwater to the ocean. In addition, our satellite measurements do not include the contribution to relative sea level rise in North Carolina due to land subsidence.”

CU sea level data shows no acceleration – quite the opposite.

2012_rel4: Global Mean Sea Level Time Series 

Their whole scary story is based on Hansen’s wildly irrational WAIS collapse theory towards the end of the century.  The IPCC estimates only 18-59 cm of sea level rise this century. Apparently CU and PBS do not consider the IPCC to be reputable scientists.

The statement which I called into question was this.

Sea levels are rising faster than expected from global warming, and University of Colorado geologist Bill Hay has a good idea why. The last official IPCC report in 2007 projected a global sea level rise between 0.2 and 0.5 meters by the year 2100. But current sea-level rise measurements meet or exceed the high end of that range and suggest a rise of one meter or more by the end of the century.

Global warming: Sea level rising faster than expected « Summit County Citizens Voice

The PBS article acknowledges that the numbers claimed by Bill Hay are not accurate. Current sea level rise measurements are near the low end of the IPCC range, and are certainly not exceeding the high end.

The only long term tide gauge in North Carolina shows even less sea level rise – 2.0 mm/year, and decelerating. There is no evidence that sea level rise is either accelerating or is a serious threat.

Since 1990 below – only 0.5 mm per year:

I know what I am going to be doing the next two evenings. Lots of important decisions will be made, and I will be monitoring closely.

Tomorrow night will determine if the English champions get eliminated from the knockout round by Ajax, plus the German champions vs. the Spanish champions.

Wednesday night will feature Barcelona at Celtic. After the crappy weekend in English football, I am looking forward to seeing some football from teams who don’t act like they are a bunch of little girls.

If I see one more interview with either of the Ferdinand brothers about their feelings getting hurt, I may turn on something else tomorrow night – like mud wrestling.

After much thought, I have decided to endorse Mitt Romney for president. It was a tough call, but my reasons are listed below.

Obama
Creepy little drug abusing congenitally lying community organizer who hates America and got the job for all the wrong reasons after massively misrepresenting who he is.
Romney
Successful businessman with good values, loves his country and has proven that he can get things done in government while working with the opposition.

• In 2010, missing Arctic ice caused heavy snow in the northeastern US.
• In 2011, missing Arctic ice caused little snow in the northeastern US.
• In 2012, missing Arctic ice is predicted to cause heavy snow in the northeastern US

Regardless of the weather this winter, it is due to missing Arctic ice.

By dumbing down the population, climate scientists have loaded the dice to receive funding regardless of how stupid and inane their behavior is.
