Rain is falling over much of Texas, with the notable exception of Lubbock, Austin and College Station.

NOAA said yesterday that the current drought is the worst in their records, but there is no truth to that statement.

There are currently 100,000 Manhattans of sea ice in the Arctic.

Sea level may not go up much any time soon. The Arctic may go through a decade or so without melting any more, temperatures may be going down. But in about 50 years the $hit is really going to hit the fan.

Arctic ice melt could pause in near future, then resume again

BOULDER—Although Arctic sea ice appears fated to melt away as the climate continues to warm, the ice may temporarily stabilize or somewhat expand at times over the next few decades, new research indicates.

Why is this loser running as a Republican?

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who is seeking to boost his flagging campaign, instead went after Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann in the debate, dismissing her record of accomplishments and results in Congress as “nonexistent.”

“That’s not going to be good enough for our candidate for president of the United States,” he said. “The American people are going to expect more and demand more. And in fact we need somebody who can contrast with Barack Obama on results.”

Researchers try to spell out a rational plan for so-called assisted colonization in the face of climate change
By Summit Voice

SUMMIT COUNTY — As global warming causes ever-greater disruption to plants and animals, conservation biologists are having serious discussions about how and when to relocate species so they they can survive for the long-term.

If society values them enough, some species threatened by climate disruption could benefit from immediate relocation, especially small and vulnerable populations that need time to grow before risking translocation losses, an international group of researchers wrote in a climate change journal article published this week.

The paper is an effort at creating a pragmatic framework for deciding when, if ever, to move species in the face of climate change. University of Queensland and United States Geological Survey researchers also contributed to the research.

“As our climate changes more rapidly than species can adapt or disperse, natural resource managers increasingly want to know what adaptation options are available to help them conserve biodiversity,” said Dr. Eve McDonald-Madden, of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization.

They understood that the floods were getting worse due to the levees.

Now, we have geniuses like Joe Romm who would attribute it to CO2 and describe it as a thousand year flood every five years.
