After my first child was born, I started seeing babies everywhere. Prior to then, I never really noticed that babies existed. Two possible interpretations arose
If I were Jeff Masters, Bill McKibben or Joe Romm, I would of course choose #1.
A couple of months ago, Obama came up with a brilliant strategy.
Let’s portray Romney as a successful businessman who knows how to make difficult decisions, and portray myself as a nasty little Trotsky wannabee who never meant anything he said during the last election.
And they all agreed that it was good.
Gloomy summer headed toward infamy
CHILLY: Anchorage could hit 65 degrees for fewest days on record. By GEORGE BRYSON [email protected] Published: July 24th, 2008 02:27 PM
The coldest summer ever? You might be looking at it, weather folks say.

Markets retreat on rainy forecast
The wheat market took a hit last week trading with sharp losses in almost every session. For the week ending July 26, September Minneapolis dropped 64 cents, September Chicago was off 59.25 cents and September Kansas City dropped 51 cents.
And a great sadness overtook the land of Romm and McKibben, who are always hoping for more human misery to validate their belief system.
According to the USHCN thermometers, the three hottest July’s in US history were 1901, 1936 and 1934. But before the data is released to the press, they add almost two degrees on to recent July temperatures relative to temperatures 100 years ago.
NCDC is about to announce that July 2012 was the hottest on record by 0.5 degrees, which means that it was actually about 1.5 degrees cooler than the previous record.
Without the discredited USHCN adjustments, 2012 wouldn’t make the top three.
It has been known for years that cities make rainstorms more intense. Romm rolls yet another gutter ball.
Cities incite thunderstorms, researchers find
Summer thunderstorms become much more fierce when they collide with a city than they would otherwise be in the open countryside, according to research led by Princeton engineers.
Alexandros A. Ntelekos and James A. Smith of Princeton University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science based their conclusion on computer models and detailed observations of an extreme thunderstorm that hit Baltimore in July of 2004.

February, 1936 was the coldest month in US history and July, 1936 was the first or second hottest. In between those months was some of the most deadly weather in US history.

Too bad Joe Romm and Bill McKibben weren’t there to blame it on future SUVs.
Even if the people behind the USHCN/GHCN/GISS/NOAA data tampering believe that what they are doing is scientifically legitimate (and I have serious doubts about that) – they are misrepresenting their product as thermometer data.
They take a measured cooling trend, convert it into a warming trend, and then publish it as if that warming trend was the actual thermometer data. It goes to the press with no warnings, and no graphs of the original data.
This is blatant product mislabeling and fraud. It would be the equivalent of a CEO presenting a bogus profit trend based on his theory of what would have happened if he had a better accounting department.
With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk.
