People have accused me of cherry-picking Arctic ice extent. The idea being that ice may be pervasive now, but the trend is way down.
That is like saying that you have been rapidly drawing down your bank account and are almost bankrupt, but your balance just happens to be above average right now.
Makes sense if you have the IQ of a turnip.

Israel has the safest air travel in the world, because they use their brains.
In the US, we rely on stupidity and a recognition that Obama is doing more damage to the US than any terrorist could possibly do. Why would a terrorist want to hurt his re-election chances?
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl who became hysterical during a security screening at a Kansas airport said Wednesday that the child was forced to undergo a pat-down after hugging her, with security agents yelling and calling the crying girl an uncooperative suspect.
The incident has been garnering increasing media and online attention since the child’s mother, Michelle Brademeyer of Montana, detailed the ordeal in a public Facebook post last week. The Transportation Security Administration is defending its agents, despite new procedures aimed at reducing pat-downs of children.
The child’s grandmother, Lori Croft, told The Associated Press that Brademeyer and her daughter, Isabella, initially passed through security at the Wichita airport without incident. The girl then ran over to briefly hug Croft, who was awaiting a pat-down after tripping the alarm, and that’s when TSA agents insisted the girl undergo a physical pat-down.
Isabella had just learned about “stranger danger” at school, her grandmother said, adding that the girl was afraid and unsure about what was going on.
“She started to cry, saying ‘No I don’t want to,’ and when we tried talking to her she ran,” Croft said. “They yelled, ‘We are going to shut down the airport if you don’t grab her.'”

It’s Holy Week in the Arctic Circle
A spiritual dimension to global warming can transform it into one of faith and discipleship. This is demonstrated by the Rev. Dr. Jim Ball, author of “Global Warming and the Risen Lord: Christian Discipleship and Climate Change.” How appropriate a title and theme at Easter!
Another spiritual guide is: “A Climate for Change: Global Facts for Faith-based Decisions,” written by the Rev. Dr. Andrew Farley, an evangelical Christian pastor and Dr. Katherine Hayhoe, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in Science and a committed Christian. They have put global warming on the world map for all with eyes to see.

The endless winter in Greenland has gotten to Torben, and he is now officially suffering from seasonally affected disorder.

Melting in the Arctic is occurring faster than most scientists predicted, according to research presented at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.
Both Greenland and Arctic sea ice are melting at record rates, with Greenland’s ice sheet losing 19 billion more tons of ice than ever recorded and summertime Arctic sea ice volume declining by 50 percent over the past four years. While just a year ago scientists predicted an ice-free Arctic sea by 2040, they now say the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012.
The worst decade for drought in Texas was the 1950s, which had low CO2 and was dominated by La Nina. Almost all Texas droughts have been associated with La Nina events.
CO2 shows no correlation, but La Nina shows almost perfect correlation. Dessler concludes – ignore the data and stick with the failed theory.
