Prior to the election of Barack Obama, Arctic ice was in a free fall. Leading experts had forecast that the ice would be gone by 2008, 2011, 2013, and even 1960.

After Obama was elected, the sea ice made a sharp reversal – which embarrassed the experts. They failed to consider the Obama healing factor. It is now believed that after Obama’s 12th term as commissar, Canada will be completely covered with ice.
Garnaut brings hard facts to the table
IN contrast to the tone of most of the debate in Australia, Ross Garnaut projects a great optimism about the world’s commitment to tackle global warming.
At 4C, “we would be in unknown territory for humanity” with an 85 per cent probability of large-scale melting of the Greenland ice sheet, 48 per cent of species at risk of extinction, 90 per cent of coral reefs subject to bleaching and increased risks of accelerated disintegration of the west Antarctic ice sheet and areas such as the Amazon rainforest turning from carbon sinks into sources of carbon.

Alarmists can only lie about sea level for so long ….
Why can’t she be smart like Obama and raise the national debt by 50% in three years?
Why can’t she get unemployment up to 10%?
Why can’t she bow and apologize and talk unconditionally to foreign despots?
Why can’t she change her position on almost every single thing she campaigned against?
Why can’t she believe that the climate is being destroyed and that man only has a few years to fix it?
In order to be reported by the MSM as intelligent, you have to demonstrate that you are completely clueless and wildly dishonest.
How to tell a climate science denier from a genuine skeptic
For example, let’s look at the question of whether global warming is happening. Do you acknowledge sea level rise, a key indicator of a warming planet, tripling over the last century? Do you factor in the warming oceans, which since 1970 have been building up heat at a rate of two-and-a-half Hiroshima bombs every second? Glaciers are retreating all over the world, threatening the water supply of hundreds of millions of people. Ice sheets from Greenland in the north to Antarctica in the south are losing hundreds of billions of tonnes of ice every year. Seasons are shifting, flowers are opening earlier each year and animals are migrating towards the poles. The very structure of our atmosphere is changing.
Does he actually believe the crap that he writes? They need to start baptizing true believers into the faith.
No hurricanes have struck the US since Obama became president, temperatures and sea level have dropped, and we have had record snow. Reservoirs are filling up – and all of the damage Bush did to the climate has been healed.
Obama should declare “mission accomplished” and take credit!
The Poudre is up several feet from yesterday. The island which the deer were on is submerged. I don’t know what happened to them.

Snowpack is 300% of normal, so it is likely to get much higher over the next 2-3 weeks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In rhetorical excesses marking his entry in the presidential campaign, Mitt Romney said the economy worsened under President Barack Obama, when it actually improved
Some areas in the tropics face famine because of failing food production, an international research group says.
The Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) predicts large parts of South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa will be worst affected.
Its report points out that hundreds of millions of people in these regions are already experiencing a food crisis.
“We are starting to see much more clearly where the effects of climate change on agriculture could intensify hunger and poverty,” said Patti Kristjanson, an agricultural economist with the CCAFS initiative that produced the report.
A leading climatologist told BBC News that agriculturalists had been slow to use global climate models to pinpoint regions most affected by rising temperatures.
Climate models show that the tropics should be least affected by global warming, and satellite data shows almost no change in tropical temperatures over the last 30 years.
One would expect that a “leading climatologist” would already know this
