Anthony and I have noticed lots of comedy going on with the GISS Godthab graph. Here is another dose of GISS humour.

“The measurements are the same no matter who makes them. They’ve been getting the same results for 150 years,” Denning said during a lecture Tuesday night attended by about 100 people. “The molecules don’t care. It doesn’t matter what you think. These things are up there vibrating and sending out their energy your way.”
Denning said models and experiments predict the temperature of North America will rise between 5 and 10 degrees by 2090, depending on how much or how little additional carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
In the coming months, Leiserowitz’s team will publish data regarding the effect children and parents have on one another in transmitting climate change knowledge.

Joe Romm found only one day of the summer interesting. Can you guess which one?
Real Madrid has not trailed in 900 minutes of playing time this season. Ronaldo scored more goals tonight in two minutes, than Rooney has in seven months.
