Antarctica gained 140,000 km² of ice overnight, to reach the sixth highest daily area ever recorded. Another day like today, and tomorrow will break the all-time record for most sea ice ever measured at either pole.

Climate experts tell us that the poles are melting down and that penguins are in danger of extinction due to missing ice.

Almost all of the US was two to six degrees above normal in September, 1936, after being four to twelve degrees above normal during June, July and August.

NOAA determined in March that 2012 was going to be the hottest year ever, regardless of the weather for the rest of the year.

The president also restated the US position on the Iran nuclear programme: that there was still time for diplomacy, but not “unlimited time”. He also called for the emergence of a new, democratic and inclusive government in Syria, but offered no new ideas about how the international community should help attain that goal, or how the deadlock in the UN security council over Syria might be broken.
In a landmark speech in Cairo three years ago, Obama promised a “new beginning” in the relationship between his country and the Islamic world, but that relationship is now at its lowest point since the start of the Arab spring as a result of a YouTube video clip made by an Egyptian American insulting the prophet Mohamed.

Iran Confrontation Coming
September 01, 2008After four years of intense but ineffective diplomacy Israel and the U.S. will soon decide whether or not the murderous mullahs of Iran will get the bomb. Steps short of war are still possible, but time is running out.
Bianca seems to be unaware that Obama had to fix the climate during his first term.
She has no background in climate science and is unqualified to argue with the preeminent mind of Dr. James Hansen. We have already passed the tipping point, and it is too late for even a deity like Obama to fix the climate.
Heidi Cullen does however recognize Mick and Bianca Jagger’s climate expertise.

Most lefties suffer from a mental illness where they feel the need to control other people in order to protect themselves from their neurotic fears.
They hate it when people won’t play their games or play by their rules. It makes them feel even more out of control than they usually do.
NSIDC continues to show record sea ice levels in Antarctica, but Antarctica is like Valdemort in their press releases (at least since the collapsing ice-shelf scam collapsed.)
There have been 47,437 forest fires this year. That is the smallest YTD total since the National Interagency Fire Center started tracking it in 2003. It is almost 25% below the mean and about one fourth of the 1938 total.

01 Feb 1939 – AMERICA’S FOREST FIRE TOLL
I live three miles from what was mindlessly described in June as Colorado’s largest fire on record. The usual crew of idiots declared that the fire would burn until the winter snows, but the fire was completely extinguished by summer rains by mid-July.
In late September 1898, a forest fire burned the entire northwest quadrant of the state. This year’s fire was about 1% that size, and it is cool and wet here in late September, 2012.
Our alarmist friends feel the need to lie about everything.
Whatever the winter weather is like, it will be blamed on “the record low ice extent.” It is trivial to demonstrate that September ice extent has essentially no effect on the climate.
1) Sea surface temperatures in the Arctic Ocean are at or close to the freezing point. The presence or absence of ice has little or no effect on the vapor pressure of water over the ice.

2) The sun is very low in the sky and the presence or absence of ice has little or no effect on the SW radiative balance
3) The Arctic Ocean is covered with clouds. Almost all of the small amount of light coming from the sun, reflects off the tops of the clouds.

In summary, there is no reason to believe that variations in September ice extent have any meaningful effect on the winter weather. It will all freeze over in the next few weeks.

Over the last two years, the consequences of 150 years of fossil-fuel development have materialized with a vengeance. The U.S. has experienced the worst drought in 80 years, replete with unprecedented Western fires and fears of widespread crop failure. This on the heels of record-breaking U.S. spring temperatures, with record daily highs outpacing record daily lows at a staggering pace of 12:1 since the start of the year. This on the heels of record U.S. flooding throughout the Mississippi basin last year. These examples reflect only the U.S. experience, in a world where record-breaking extreme weather is becoming the norm.

In order to maintain their religion, the faithful have determined that it is OK to fabricate as many bogus statistics as their little minds can generate.
The drought is nowhere near record breaking or even particularly unusual.
Contiguous U.S., Palmer Modified Drought Index (PMDI), September-August 1896-2012
Last year’s floods were not record breaking. The fire count this year is 25% below normal. The corn crop is the eighth largest on record in the US. Most of the record highs which the author refers to were from stations which didn’t exist in the 1930s. Hurricane and tornado strikes are near historic lows, and there isn’t the slightest indication that global weather extremes are abnormal.
The religious faithful have created an inane mythology, which will be viewed in the future as an exceptional blip in human stupidity. These flaming morons actually believe that they have the capability to change the imaginary climate which they have created in their minds.
How about starting with something simpler, like balancing the budget and getting unemployment below eight percent?
The UK Met Office predicted that half of the years between 2011 and 2015 would be the hottest on record, but with El Nino collapsing – their divide an odd number by two error is pretty much doomed.
