The Obama – Miriam story is clearly a huge story. Someone needs to ask Obama when he stopped or started lying about his birthplace.
The US has become too lame to stand up to a few limp-wristed left-wing wannabee bullies – who are quickly burying the story, and the country’s heritage.
Prior to Obama, presidents used to have press conferences – where people could ask these questions.. That was when the US still bore some resemblance to a democracy, and the citizenry still had some self-respect.
In 1999, Hansen wrote this :
in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country
The graph below shows the current GISS US temperature graph, with a line drawn between the 1949 and 1999 five year running mean values. How did “little temperature change” turn into more than half a degree of temperature change?
His 1999 version of the same graph looked like this :
Hansen simply corrupted the data set. The blink comparator below shows what he did in the year 2000 to make the data match his theory.
Interesting too that he chose “50 years” as his measurement metric. Why didn’t he start in the 1930s, and show that the US had cooled dramatically?
The GISS temperature graphs are political documents, not scientific ones.
Hansen said this in 1999
Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.
There is no indication that droughts are getting worse. Romm speaks from the perspective of an unwell individual trying to project his neuroses on to a wider group.
The link to the pay-per-view article no longer works.
Obama is an amazing fellow. He was born in Kenya, Kansas and Hawaii.
People I know who went to high school with President Obama say that his nickname then was “Barry the Stoner.” If a 1965 alleged prank by Mitt Romney is news in the Washington Post, could they please tell me a story or two about how “Barry the Stoner” got his nickname?
Voters deserve a harder look at this guy from the nation’s press. Stop the rooting and start the vetting. Better late than never.
With less than 16 weeks left in the growing season, Greenland farmers have endorsed the use of green tractors – to prevent further ice loss and global warming.
They are going to start running one of their supercomputers off solar power. This should guarantee that we get fewer of their trademark inverted forecasts, because the computer will be inoperable most of the time.
Running supercomputers on sunshine
Work is underway to install a solar panel array at the Met Office which will generate enough energy to power one of our supercomputers.Work is underway to install a solar panel array at the Met Office which will generate enough energy to power one of our supercomputers.
The array will generate 221,000 kW hours of electricity per year – enough to power the equivalent of 67 houses – and will save about 116 tonnes of C02 per year.
How much CO2 could they save if they shut down all of their supercomputers?
Another epic fail by the team.
Experts are particularly concerned about honeybees, which will not forage in the cold and could run out of food.
But some of the country’s invertebrate population, such as snails and slugs, are likely to benefit from the deluge.
According to the Met Office, April 2012 was the wettest on record since 1910; the UK received an average 126.5mm of rain.
Butterfly Conservation’s Richard Fox said that this was “flying season” for some of our rarest butterflies and that it had been “clobbered by awful weather”.
“Spring specialists”, normally seen flying in April, such as the common blue and brown argus, only emerged in early May.
Two years ago, the experts told us that humans were making springs come earlier.
Earlier springs could destroy delicate balance of UK wildlife, study shows
Global warming could be changing seasonal timing with profound consequences, according to analysis of 726 species of plants and animals
