Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.

Newsweek on the cooling world

Looks like the coldest El Nino on record. Just a week or two ago, the usual crop of suspects were predicting record warmth in 2013 – because of El Nino.

Opinion: Global warming takes toll on Colorado forests

It doesn’t take a scientist to understand the connection between climate change and forest fires. Last spring was hot and dry, which resulted in a dry forest that easily burns. This should not surprise us. What is surprising is the pace of climate change and the damage it has already caused to our forests and communities.

The previous spring had record snow in Colorado. Some years are warm, other years are cold.

Earth to Bob, Lodgepole Pine forests can’t exist without fire. The seeds only germinate during crown fires. 100 years of fire suppression is making the forests unhealthy.

Why is the weather so calm in Arizona, and so stormy in the Arctic?

According to numb-nuts brain-damaged alarmists, this is because “more energy in the system” produces stronger storms.

I just took the pictures below in an area north of Los Alamos which was completely wiped out by fire 12 years ago. Prior to the fire, it was overgrown, sickly pine forest, caused by 70 years of fire suppression. Now it is full of life and color, thanks to the fire.

NASA’s climate messiah bleeds.

What about NASA’s James Hansen putting out a report predicting global warming would decrease Antarctic ice by 40 percent?

Scambos said the new ice data is “a contradiction” to Hansen’s prediction, but he said Hansen’s assessment was done in the early 1980s.

“We would not be doing our job very well if we had not learned something in 30 years,” he said.

A few days ago scientists predicted that global warming would cause marathon times to slow.

Will Climate Change Slow Marathon Times?

Climate change is blamed for melting ice, shrinking animals and brewing more intense storms around the globe — but is it slowing the top finish times at the Boston Marathon? Not yet, researchers found, though future increases in temperature could mean fewer records are broken.

Today’s Chicago Marathon will almost certainly be the coldest on record, with forecast high temperatures close to 50 degrees.

Yesterday’s Denver Post had a WWII armistice sized headline :

EMPLOYMENT GAINS

After the messiah’s teleprompter-free crucifixion in Denver on Wednesday, the press is desperate to resurrect him.  They pulled the same stunt three days after the Libya disaster, by dropping coverage and obsessing over the Romney 47% tape.

7.8% unemployment, even if it was accurate, would be called out by the press as a catastrophe if a republican were president.
