High late August 2012 Greenland ice temperature maintains low ice sheet reflectivity
What a load of BS. It has been cold all month and lots of snow. The albedo of the Greenland ice sheet is very high. These people have got to stop lying at some point.

Twitter / billmckibben: If Neil Armstrong was looking …
McKibben has gone too far this time. Where do you start with this stupidity?
Astronauts were picked for having the “Right Stuff” which did not include weakness, fear of their own shadow or dishonesty. A group of NASA’s finest (including Apollo astronauts) just blasted Hansen for wrecking NASA with his junk climate science and junk politics. There isn’t any indication that Neil Armstrong was worried about the climate when he died today.
From a scientific point of view, McKibben also gets a big zero.
The moon orbits the earth in the ecliptic, so you can barely see the Arctic from the moon
Armstrong stepped on the moon in July. There is always a lot less ice at the end of August.
McKibben knows nothing about the state of Arctic ice prior to 1979. The IPCC reported a large increase from 1974 to 1979.

And the CIA reported a large increase prior to 1974.

There can be little doubt that Armstrong would have been thrilled to have seen earth from the Moon again. People had bigger problems to deal with and didn’t make up imaginary fears about essential trace gasses.
It is pretty disgusting of McKibben to try to co-opt Neil Armstrong’s great accomplishments into McKibben’s pathetic failures.

Raw USHCN data shows a two degree decline in Wisconsin August temperatures since 1930
Temperatures this August have been 2-5 degrees below normal.
Team climate moron flew into Greenland for two hours this summer, but for some reason they no longer seem interested.

You can’t make this stuff up.
In the initial chaos Friday, it wasn’t clear whether Johnson or the officers were responsible for the trail of wounded, but based on ballistic and other evidence, “it appears that all nine of the victims were struck either by fragments or by bullets fired by police,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told reporters on Saturday at a community event in Harlem.
NYPD: 9 shooting bystander victims hit by police gunfire | Fox News
Most cops spend little or no time on the shooting range, and when they pull their guns out they have absolutely no idea what they are doing.
Every summer since the year 2000 has had below normal temperatures north of 80N.

People forecasting an ice-free Arctic have no idea what they are talking about.
Temperatures were below normal all summer north of 80N, and very little melting occurred. Small melt ponds appeared and the planted poles tipped a little bit.
A sad day for humanity. Neil was the first person (and one of the last) to set foot on another world.

According to Dr. Walt Meier at NSIDC, the Arctic was completely free of ice sometime between 5,000 and 15,000 years ago. Apparently Brad Johnson believes that human history is less than 5,000 years.
There is nothing unusual happening the Arctic. Some years are a little higher or lower than others. These people are nuts.
