Texas has had 4-8 inches of permanent drought during the past week, and is expecting more today.

Obama campaign ad blasts Romney’s business career

Obama has no business experience, and since he and the Democrats took over Washington in 2006, unemployment and the national debt has doubled.

Hope and change.

Democrats win House, promise new direction
POSTED: 6:05 p.m. EST, November 8, 2006

(CNN) — Democrats promised Wednesday to lead the country in a new direction after winning control of the House for the first time in 12 years in midterm elections.

By early Wednesday, Democrats had picked up at least 29 seats; they needed 15 to capture a majority in the House. Two Democratic seats in Georgia that were targeted by Republicans remained too close to call.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-California, is now poised to become the first female speaker of the House.

Pelosi promised to lead the nation in a new direction “in partnership, not in partisanship.”

David Appell reports :

Taking water from the ground sends it on its way to the oceans, but putting up dams in rivers keeps it from reaching the sea. Humans are doing more of the former, and the dams are about at capacity.

Quark Soup by David Appell: Interesting AGU Papers

Dams are at capacity? The team needs to decide if we are in a permanent drought or a permanent flood, because talking out of both sides of their mouth makes them look like idiots.

Over the past year we have witnessed a real death spiral in the Arctic – a loss of information. First we lost JAXA and Bremen. Now Cryosphere Today seems to be gone.

This is particularly disturbing because JAXA and Cryosphere Today were the only sites that had daily data readily available. Are we headed for an ice-information-free Arctic?

The hockey team has turned on Martin Hoerling, for telling the truth. No surprise, because their funding and prestige depends on maintaining the big lie.

What is interesting is the reaction of the global warming groupies, like those who frequent Andy Revkin’s site. They are convinced that Hoerling must be wrong, because he isn’t saying anything scary. These people seem to have a deep seated psychological need to :

1. believe that a disaster is about to occur
2. blame others for the impending disaster
3. believe that anyone who disagrees with them is evil, and wants to create the disaster
4. feel guilty about their role in the impending disaster

They don’t actually believe that they can do anything to stop the impending disaster, but they still believe it is important to feel bad about it, spread anger, and tell others to make gestures of sacrifice.

Additionally, they find evidence of the impending disaster everywhere they look. A warm spring day, a cold winter day, a warm winter day, a hot summer day. All evidence that their fears are justified.

Sounds like a loose combination of hypochondria, paranoia and schizophrenia. In other words – full blown loons.

I took a long bike ride through the permanent drought of Colorado this afternoon. You can see the devastating effects below.

It was a great day today, football in the morning and cycling in the afternoon. The weather was great, the world is perfect. I wonder why people like Joe Romm prefer to live in a psychotic world of imaginary darkness?

In 1981, Dr. Hansimian made this remarkably precise forecast, explaining how the Red Devils would nearly win the 2012 championship – due to climate change.

May 13, 1981

Global warming is ubiquitous. Every gust of wind in the future will be the fault of CO2.

The May 2012 match between City and QPR will be very windy,  causing lots of bad crosses by City and some horrifically bad defensive errors – like heading the ball the wrong direction.

Climate change is also known to cause mental illness, which will affect both Mario Balotelli and Joey Barton. This will cause Mancini to keep Balotelli out of the game too long, even though he will need a big man up front – with Ferdinand eating them alive inside the 18.

Ultimately, the Red Devils will lose because climate change in Stoke (and a late penalty) will make QPR realize that the City game is meaningless, and will quit playing for the last five minutes – allowing City to score twice.

Climate change will be so bad, that during the last minute of the game QPR won’t even move any players forward for the tying goal – why would they want to give United another title?

The President Emeritus of WWF and past President from 1981-1996, says that he hopes to kill millions of people in his next life.

If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.

Alarmists were very offended last week by Heartland’s campaign to show that several famous murderers shared their global warming fears.
