Obama was bragging last week about how he had personally freed Libya, right after he personally killed Osama.
Islamists dragged the dead body of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens from the embassy after he was murdered last night.
NASA has clearly succeeded in making Muslims feel good about themselves.

Yesterday was warm and dry. Today is cold and wet. We had a lot of wind last spring. A few years ago we had a really bad snowstorm. The river flooded in 2010 and 2011. In 2008 we had a really bad tornado. The ice cover on the lakes melted last spring. There was a really bad thunderstorm with lots of hail last year. My shoes are wet from cycling in the rain.
There can be little doubt that the world is falling apart.

Time for these people to **** or get off the pot. Let’s see that ice-free Arctic.
I’m curious to know what changes have occurred in the surface record since the year 2000, which have required USHCN to upwards adjust by an additional 0.5 degrees? Perhaps the criticality of funding bias or the you better make Hansen happy bias have kicked in.

Blatant fraud going on at taxpayer expense.
USHCN will have to upwards adjust by about 20 degrees this month.
The total for 2012 so far is 45,816. There were four times as many fires in 1938.

The US press corpse says that fire is the new normal, because they have the combined IQ of a celery stalk.
Arctic warming Effects felt across the globe
Those who keep an eye on Earth’s polar ice caps report that sea ice has melted faster in the Arctic Ocean this summer than at any time since scientists began recording its ebbs and flows. In fact, the Arctic ice cap reached its smallest summer expanse ever, and some scientists say it’s at its lowest reach in nearly 1,500 years.The shrinking ice cap coincides with warming at the poles that has been accelerating twice as fast as in other areas around the globe.
Even climate-change skeptics have to accept the fact that the planet is warming, and it’s happening faster and with greater consequence than during any natural warming cycle in Earth’s history. The massive ice melt is changing weather patterns in North America, and this summer’s record-setting drought throughout the United States is only the first of a pattern of floods, severe storms, drought and wildfires that likely will become the norm.
Pavlov’s morons. Mention ice – drool. Mention drought – drool.
The US just experienced the quietest summer on record for tornadoes, hurricane strikes are at historic long-term lows, the drought is in no way comparable to the Dust Bowl, and the fire season has been about average. These people are complete morons.

Tornadoes peaked during the ice-age scare of the 1970s, because they are caused by global warming.
Ice still delaying Shell Arctic offshore drilling
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Moving ice may keep a Royal Dutch Shell petroleum drill ship away from a Chukchi Sea prospect for several days, a Shell Alaska spokesman said Tuesday.
Curtis Smith said at midday that a massive ice pack heading toward the Burger Prospect had slowed from 0.5 knots to 0.2 knots — about 1/4 of a mile per hour — and remained 10 to 12 hours away.
“Depending on conditions, it could be a few or, potentially, several days before it’s safe enough to resume drilling,” he said in an email response to questions.
The prospect is 70 miles off the coast. The Noble Discoverer drill ship has moved 30 miles south and will remain there until the ice — 30 miles long, 12 miles wide and up to 82 feet thick — has passed and is unlikely to change course and return.

NSIDC’s super-sensitive sensors apparently can’t detect 82 foot thick ice in the Chukchi sea.
