The weather is fine here today. Global warming is unequivocal and causes all weather now, so thank you SUV drivers!
Shock news for Joe Romm – above normal rain is associated with below normal temperatures.
“We need to beginning planning on many fronts because climate change is going to affect the way we do business, it’s going to affect everything from people’s health to property values on the shoreline,” said SPUR’s Laura Tam.
The report finds that climate change effects most threatening to the Bay Area are more intense heat waves, water uncertainty (droughts, wildfires, extreme storms and flooding), and a rise in sea level. It lays out step-by-step instructions for addressing these risks in terms of public safety and health, water supply, transportation infrastructure, biodiversity, and the region’s energy supply.
Just because San Francisco is almost always cold in summer, sea level hasn’t risen for 30 years, and the fact that the city is built on steep hills – is no reason to believe that it isn’t going to get really hot and flood.

The author counted all the mosquitoes. His grandfather used to count them, and he compared notes.
global warming is already making tens of thousands of people sick and threatening our food supply. Their stories range from the tale of a little girl who lives in the highlands of Kenya who nearly died of malaria carried by mosquitoes buzzing around in greater numbers and places than ever before,
It is that mid-troposphere hot spot.

00.24 Sources involved in the operation to get bin Laden tell Fox News that the al-Qaeda leader appeared “scared and completely confused” and acted in a “cowardly” manner moments before he was shot. He shoved his wife towards the Navy Seal who then shot him. An AK-47 and a Makarov handgun were within the terrorist’s reach, the report said.
Right, helicopters are crashing, gunshots are being fired, stun grenades were being blown up, people are breaking through the walls – and he didn’t have time to grab his pistol which was “in reach.” But he did have time to shove his wife into the line of fire.
Why would a man reach for his gun anyway with intruders breaking into the house where his children are sleeping?
Can’t the White House hire any decent script writers to make up the narrative? This sounds like a grade C movie.
(If it is politically expedient.)
Clearly shooting someone in the head is more humane than depriving them of sleep in Guantanamo.
