[page 6] The Arctic ice—where polar bears live, hunt, and even den—has been melting so fast that scientists estimate the entire Arctic summer could be ice-free within just a few years.
Ice is melting so fast, that the area is now above normal – and the highest for the date in seven or eight years.

Intellicast – Weekly Precipitation in United States
The weather of the 21st century will be very much like the hot and dry weather of 2011. Giving extra credibility to this forecast is the fact that the weather extremes that we are presently experiencing were predicted in the first edition in 1995.
Texas has been having weather extremes since day one. Dessler might as well predict that the sun comes up in the morning. Sad to think that people that clueless are corrupting the minds of college students.
At the beginning of March, The Arctic Institute wrote a hit piece on meteorologist Mark Johnson, in which they declared that Arctic ice was not close to two standard deviations. That day, it went within two standard deviations and has stayed that way ever since.
Demonstrating once again that the vast majority of climate experts are completely incompetent.
Germany is on the brink of an energy catastrophe, while California is on the brink of financial collapse. Both places chose to replace rational thought with green fog.
Germany has escaped several times last winter just large-scale power outages. In the next, possibly more severe winter, the risk of large blackouts is even greater
The culprit is the single most important instrument of German energy policy: the “Renewable Energy Law“, in short EEG. It stipulates the priority of green electricity supply. What was once useful as an aid to market introduction of wind and solar power was, today, 12 years later, disastrous side effects.

Meanwhile, Jerry Brown has managed to double the state budget deficit, with his policy of trying to steal $15 billion/year in CO2 taxes.

Need your climate adjusted? – call Dr. James Hansen at GISS. Below is a chronology of the destruction and politicization of the US and global temperature record.
The Northern Hemisphere used to have a broken hockey stick problem. According to the National Academy Of Sciences in 1975, the hemisphere had cooled 0.7C since the 1930s, and was colder than it was at the turn of century.

Dr. Hansen realized he had a problem when he took over – that data didn’t look anything like a hockey stick. So he fixed it! You can do such cool stuff when you are pushing an agenda, and you control the historical record.
The figure below shows Hansen’s remarkable changes to the pre-1975 temperature data. He simply removed that pesky warm period from 1890 to 1940.
But that was just the beginning of Hansen’s history rewrite. He had another problem – the United States.

The videotape showed an escalating situation that abruptly became hostile when officer Manuel Ramos snapped on latex gloves and said, “Now, you see my fists? … They’re getting ready to f— you up … If you don’t start f—— listening.”
Within moments, Ramos and another officer take Thomas to the ground with help from a baton, according to the video, and pounce on him as he begins screaming “I’m sorry dude … I’m sorry. … I can’t breathe dude … I can’t breathe, sir! Please, help!”
Cicinelli arrived at the scene a few minutes later in response to a call that an officer needs help and quickly joined the fray, the videotape showed. He used a Taser to shock the man into submission and then used the plastic gun as a weapon as he hit Thomas in the face, the video shows.

Eating roo may combat global warming
Thursday, 2 October 2008Call to encourage climate-friendly farms, Science Online, 04 Jul 2008
Eating kangaroo instead of cattle and sheep has been given a scientific stamp of approval by the government’s top climate change adviser.
The belching of millions of farm animals is a major contributor to Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, notes Professor Ross Garnaut in a major report to the government on global warming.
Kangaroos, on the other hand, emit negligible amounts of methane gas.
If farmers were included in a system requiring industry to buy permits for the gas they produce, the cost of meat would rise and could lead to a change in eating habits, says Garnaut in the 600-page report released on Wednesday.
