Unemployment is up almost 50% since Obama got the nomination in Sept. 2008, when he started telling everyone for the next six months that the economy was a disaster and that only he could fix it.

Here are the details of the four deaths in the nuclear catastrophe. Three died during the earthquake and a fourth died in an accident operating a crane during the cleanup.

Europeans haven’t always had reliable power. They long for the good old days.

Big news… this happens all the time in Phoenix in the summer. Phoenix is in the desert.  They have lots of dust in the desert. When the monsoons come, the wind blows the dust and often it starts raining mud.

scientists just want to gather accurate information and objective facts

The Union of Concerned Scientists has published an examination of how today’s mega-oil companies are using tactics similar to those used by the tobacco industry in its attempt to cover up the health hazard of cigarettes for many years.

skeptics of manmade global warming should reference valid environmental organizations that have been studying the subject long before it was popular, or an “inconvenient truth.” Some of these include the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Environmental Defense Fund, Green Peace, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

absolutely wrong to think that the massive amount of valid data gathered by scientists is subject to being refuted with any form of reasonable doubt

If a news story discusses the Holocaust and the genocide carried out against Jews during WWII, the press need not provide balance by discussing the views of neo-Nazi groups that deny its historical certainty and claim it never happened?

many large donations, which have been given to proxy groups, most from big oil companies like Exxon Mobile. They also list specific individuals, usually under-qualified to be spokesmen, who are essentially paid to deliver information favorable to carbon-producing companies

I would guess that someone, somewhere, has a blog devoted to proving that the Earth is flat. Instead, skeptics of manmade global warming should reference valid environmental organizations

You know the routine.  Declining snow cover, earlier melt, earlier runoff, rivers and reservoirs going dry, skiing ruined, river rafting ruined, no water for farming, cities going dry, permanent drought, no fresh water, unsustainable lifestyle ………….

a couple of weeks ago, former Vice President Al Gore keynoted the Games For Change conference—a conference about the potential for video games to improve society—and confessed in that keynote that he hadn’t played a video game in earnest since Pong.

If it weren’t for Denver/Boulder, Colorado would be solidly conservative.

There are now more medical marijuana dispensaries in Denver than there are Starbucks. Glossy guidebooks list nearly 300 locations where Colorado’s 125,000 residents who have been prescribed medical marijuana can get their “medicine.” Many offer a free joint to new customers, allowing them to sample exotic strains like Jah Kush, Golden Goat and Romulan Cotton Candy.

Last year :

“We conclude that there has been no reduction in the global warming trend of 0.15-0.20°C/decade (~ .3 F/decade) that began in the late 1970s.”

Hansen and the other authors warn that relying on short-term weather cues is not only misleading, but dangerous:

“Given our conclusion that global warming is continuing unabated, and that this conclusion differs from some popular conceptions, we discuss reasons for such perceptions including the influence of short-term weather and climate fluctuations.”

Big news today. Climatologists learn to distinguish between a positive and negative slope.

A new study demonstrates why global surface temperatures defied a decades-long trend and didn’t continue to rise between 1998 and 2008
