No matter what year they start in, many climate scientists appear incapable of examining written records more than forty years in the past.
If these Columbia posers were actual scientists, they would have known that Antarctic ice shelves had been rapidly receding since the early 19th century, and that it had nothing to do with CO2.
Not to mention the fact that Antarctic sea ice has actually been increasing since 1979.
Louisiana is frequently noted for having the fastest sea level rise in the world, as measured by tide gauges.
Data and Station Information for GRAND ISLE
Only problem is, sea level isn’t rising in Louisiana. Satellites show no rise over the last decade. Lousiana is sinking into the sea, and the tide gauges are going down with it.
Climate alarmists believe that earth’s climate history began in 1970, and also believe that species are unable to survive the natural selection process outlined by Darwin.
Creationists believe that earth history began 7,000 years ago – much earlier than the date normally used by Dessler and Hayhoe.
It would seem that climate alarmists are vastly more ignorant than creationists – in that they don’t even understand the core principles of what they claim to believe.
All that is left is vote out the corrupt government leaders who are propping the scam up.
Global warming matters little to Australians, survey finds
The big issues for Australians are not global warming, the rise of China or the loss of biodiversity but the quality of the food they eat, the availability of health care and how safe it is to walk the streets, research released Monday showed.
“These results present a picture of a relatively conservative society intensely concerned with day-to-day issues,” the University of Technology Sydney’s Timothy Devinney said of his findings.
The What Matters to Australians research, co-produced with the Melbourne Business School, matches similar studies in the United States, Britain and Germany.
The German report will be launched in Hamburg in September.
“The consistency across countries is pretty high,” Devinney said.
What mattered to the young was very similar to what mattered to the old and there was consistency in the responses of the rich and the poor.

First Solar Restructuring Leads To Loss Of $449M
NEW YORK (AP) — A shakeout that is rattling the solar panel industry has sent First Solar, once among the industry’s biggest and strongest companies, to a big quarterly loss.
First Solar Inc. said Thursday that it lost $449 million in the first quarter, mostly due to a restructuring announced last month that will eliminate 30 percent of the company’s workforce

Dinosaurs’ Gaseous Emissions Warmed Earth?
Giant sauropods produced huge amounts of greenhouse gases, study suggests.Charles Choi
for National Geographic News
Published May 7, 2012Dinosaurs may have helped warm ancient Earth via their own natural gaseous emissions, a new study says.
Living about 150 million years ago, giant plant-eating dinosaurs called sauropods were ruminant, meaning they had a digestive process that gave off large amounts of methane—a potent greenhouse gas even more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide.
Utter flaming stupidity. Methane quickly oxidizes to CO2 and H2O in the atmosphere. The amount of greenhouse gas emitted is identical whether a leaf falls to the ground and rots, or if it is digested in an animal’s stomach. The CO2 then gets absorbed back into growing vegetation.
These morons should probably learn how to balance an equation.
Additionally, the absorption bands of methane completely overlap with H2O. Methane (at 0.000002 mole fraction) is only a significant greenhouse gas in the absence of water vapor.

Last summer, Jr. Dessler declared the Texas drought to be permanent.
Eight months later, all that is left of the permanent drought is southwest Texas ….
with heavy rain on the way.
Bill McKibben is convinced that he sees terrifying trends, but the data says that he is just imagining things. Some years are wet, some years are dry, but there are no trends evident.
The only thing obvious from the graph below is that the 1930s and the 1950s were very dry. We are fortunate that the climate is so much better now than it was in the 1930s.

Alarmist trends typically range from one data point, up to a time series of no more than 40 years. For alarmists, time simply did not exist before 1970.
CryoSat shows that Arctic sea ice averaged 2.0 meters (6.5 feet) thick in February, 2012.

In February 1940, Arctic ice also averaged 6.5 feet thick. Ice thickness is the same as it was 72 years ago.
