"Study links climate change to humans" March 08, 2013
WASHINGTON — A study looking at 11,000 years of climate temperatures shows the world in the middle of a dramatic U-turn, lurching from near-record cooling to a heat spike.
They have only been taking temperature records for about 200 years, so what fart spew are they misting now?
Research released Thursday in the journal Science uses fossils of tiny marine organisms to reconstruct global temperatures back to the end of the last ice age. It shows how the globe for several thousands of years was cooling until an unprecedented reversal in the 20th century.
Now they are saying total cooling change and never a warming trend in thousands of years until... oh, God, dear readers, this is SO F***ING SHAMELESS it is BEYOND COMMENT!
The researchers say it is evidence that modern-day global warming is not natural but the result of rising carbon dioxide emissions that have grown since the Industrial Revolution began roughly 250 years ago.
Yeah, except the PLANET HAS BEEN COOLING the LAST FIFTEEN YEARS and s*** "$cienti$t$" like this HID the DECLINE!
The decade of 1900 to 1910 was one of the coolest in the past 11,300 years, the marine fossil data suggest. Yet 100 years later, the decade of 2000 to 2010 was one of the warmest, said study lead author Shaun Marcott of Oregon State University.
What, government and agenda-pu$hing in$titutions threaten your funding?

"NOAA climate scientist Jake Crouch said last month was the ninth-warmest January ever globally. In the United States, January temperatures averaged 1.6 degrees above normal. ‘‘This is the new normal — climate change?"
Isn't that the same NOAA that was caught lying about temperatures, and with all the snow that has fallen in the Midwest you really think there will be a drought?
"Plains, Midwest take another hit with heavy snow, hurricane-force gusts" Associated Press, February 26, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas — The nation’s midsection again dealt with blizzard conditions Monday, the storm bringing hurricane-force winds to the Texas Panhandle, closing highways, and knocking out power to thousands in Texas and Oklahoma.
Kansas, already under a deep snowpack from last week’s snowstorm, was on high alert as the system headed north and east Monday evening and overnight. The storm is blamed in the death of a 21-year-old man whose SUV hit an icy patch on Interstate 70 in northwestern Kansas and overturned Monday.
I actually hold fart-misters responsible for all deaths due to winter weather.
Blizzard warnings were in effect for the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, as well as southern Kansas through early Tuesday morning, while Arkansas and Louisiana saw watches and warnings for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. The storm is forecast to track north and east, prompting winter storm warnings for southern and eastern Kansas and the upper half of Missouri.
A strong low-pressure system is feeding the storm, said Greg Carbin, a meteorologist at the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.
‘‘The more intense the low, the stronger the storm as far as pulling air in,’’ he said, noting that intense winter storms are common in the Plains during late February and March.
Up to 10 inches of snow fell in parts of New Mexico, and the foothills west of Denver saw up to two feet of snow. The moisture allowed the US Forest Service to burn brush in northern Colorado to try to prevent future wildfires.

Although the wintry precipitation is beneficial, the National Drought Mitigation Center said Monday, the drought is not over. Climatologist Mark Svoboda said 12 inches of snow is equivalent to about 1 inch of rain....

"WICHITA WALLOPED -- Tom McReynolds cleared snow in Wichita, Kan., on Thursday during a storm that dumped 13 inches of snow in short order.

"GETTING KICKS IN BEFORE STORM -- A group of people braved cold and windy weather to play soccer on the National Mall in Washington. But a winter storm that hit much of the central United States was set to unleash snow, sleet, and freezing rain in its slow trek toward the East Coast (Boston Globe Feb 22 2013)."
"WHITE CITY -- The winter that won't quit was dumping more snow in Chicago on Tuesday. The sculpture "Cloud Gate," also known as "the bean," had a white coating yesterday as the worst winter storm of the season is predicted to bring 7 to 10 inches with the height of precipitation expected during Wednesday's evening commute (Boston Globe March 6 2013)."
Is it? Chicago has been clobbered this winter. But hey, as we have seen, the AmeriKan media don't even care that they are lying right to your face. The last few days have proved it.
I guess the Globe's web site didn't want you to know about those because they were photographs in my printed Globe.
"INSECT INVASION -- A swarm of locusts traveled above two Israelis in the Negev desert in Kmehin, Israel, near the Egyptian border, on Wednesday. Both Egypt and Israel have been swarmed by millions of locusts during the past few days, causing widespread disturbances (Boston Globe March 7 2013)."
Yeah, that's not an important thing to put on a web site. And don't think the location of the locusts didn't get my attention. Someone opened up another seal, and look where they went.

"Weekend storms sap local budgets" by Peter Schworm | Globe Staff, February 21, 2013
With a sizable storm expected for a third straight weekend, potentially hitting the region with nearly a foot of snow beginning Saturday night, officials are nervously watching their ledgers.
“Most communities have pretty much exhausted the snow removal budget, and are looking with trepidation at the rest of the winter,” said Geoff Beckwith, who directs the Massachusetts Municipal Association. “The timing of the storms has been problematic.”
They have been inhaling way too much fart mist, folks.

"US plan to aid polar bears rejected" by Thanyarat Doksone | Associated Press, March 08, 2013
BANGKOK — A proposal by the United States to ban cross-border trade in polar bears and their parts was defeated Thursday at an international meeting of conservationists, marking a victory for Canada’s indigenous Inuit people over their neighbor to the south.
Delegates at the triennial meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species rejected Washington’s proposal to change the status of the polar bear from a species whose trade is merely regulated, not banned....
The US proposal made for some odd bedfellows. Russia endorsed Washington’s proposal, which was also supported by a cluster of animal rights societies.
Canada was joined in opposition by some of the larger conservation organizations, including the CITES Secretariat and the Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network, better known as TRAFFIC....
The United States had contended that climate change was shrinking the bears’ habitat and that preemptive measures were needed to save them.

"US proposes ‘musical instrument passports’" by Todd Pitman | Associated Press, March 08, 2013
BANGKOK —Delegates attending a global biodiversity conference in Bangkok this week are debating a US proposal to streamline international customs checks for travelers with musical instruments that legally contain endangered wildlife products such as exotic hardwoods, ivory, or tortoise shell.
The goal is to ease travel by doing away with cumbersome import and export permits and to ensure legal instruments aren’t confiscated, said US Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe, who is leading Washington’s delegation to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species in the Thai capital.
The proposal is expected to be voted on as early as Friday. If approved, travelers would be able to carry a ‘‘musical instrument passport’’ valid for three years.
The convention framework was signed in 1973 to ensure the survival of the world’s flora and fauna by regulating international trade in threatened species. About 35,000 species are presently protected.
Concern over the issue within the US music industry rose sharply in 2011, when federal agents raided the factories and offices of Gibson Guitar to seize what they said was illegal ebony wood shipped to the guitar maker from India.
After the raids, ‘‘people started raising serious questions about their instruments,’’ Ashe said this week.

"Green agenda in meltdown
For the green agenda it seems a political tipping point has been reached – and it’s the mass media’s credibility, not the Arctic, that’s in meltdown
Peter C. Glover
6 March 2013
It’s not a good time to be ‘green’. In recent months the news undermining the entire green eco-alarmist agenda has been relentlessly unhelpful. Not that you’d know it if your trust is in the mainstream journalistic integrity of the BBC or New York Times.
We could start with the data-driven fact that there’s been no global warming whatsoever for over 16 years. But this would be churlish as even the head of the UN IPCC and Moonbat Guardianistas have been forced to admit that particular game is up. But the devil is in the detail, right? Okay, so let’s check out the detail on key green fronts when it comes to news that may have drifted under your personal news radar....
**************************
2013 is setting new records for Arctic sea ice – being only the third winter in history where more than 10 million square kilometres of new ice formed as a result of temperatures sinking to minus 35 degrees.
Now, you might think BBC journos would be overjoyed that the polar bears will, unexpectedly, have way more ice to float around on. That is if they’d bothered covering the story at all. They didn’t.
But then that’s only half the story. As obsessed as the BBC et al remain with the ‘disappearing’ Arctic, the gigantic, ‘Arctic-dwarfing’ mass of sea ice in the South Atlantic, Antarctica, is rarely on the BBC/NYT radar....
Then there’s the whole green energy fantasy, urged on us by warmists. Take California: Already bankrupt, the state’s rush to green energy has prioritized wind and solar projects. But reports now make it clear that green energy’s unreliability is likely to see the lights go out in California by as early as later this year.
Worse still, new research suggests scientists generally have over-estimated the generation of power by wind farms. And yet another “devastating blow for the wind industry” is presaged in an upcoming report. According to a finding made by Scottish-government-funded researchers – Scotland is another key front-runner in the wind development stakes – thousands of existing UK wind turbines create more greenhouse gas emissions than they save. Then there’s the increasing unacceptability – to environmentalists – of the impact of giant wind farm footprints.
And just for good measure, Germany, yet another global front-runner in the green energy stakes, has been warned the country’s transition to more wind and solar renewable energy will cost the nation, already reeling from the high cost of green energy subsidies, a 'cool' 1 trillion euros ($1.34 trillion). With a record 600,000 Germans now threatened by fuel poverty it is not surprising that German politicians are taking the political problems created by greater green energy-dependency more seriously.
The green energy agenda is fast rising to the top of the political agenda – but, as we have seen, hardly for the reasons eco-warriors and BBC and NYT editors might like. It can only continue its inexorable rise because of two influential factors: First, facts and real science data are simply swamping the alarmist core messages; second, as the most comprehensive study conducted recently reveals, futuristic climate issues rank nowhere in the average voter’s list of concerns.
In February, green policies were singularly responsible for bringing down the Bulgarian Government. It was a watershed political moment. Even the BBC and the NYT reported it. Not that either managed to identify the link between the government’s green subsidies policy and rocketing electricity prices that brought violent protests to the streets for the first time. Too much like real journalism.
Whether the BBC/NYT mainstream media persists in refusing to run reports undermining a green agenda to which it patently subscribes, electorates are fast-becoming all too aware of the nexus between green policies and surging energy bills and the very real threat of power cuts....

"Famed explorer ends Antarctica bid" Associated Press, February 26, 2013
LONDON — British explorer Ranulph Fiennes on Monday pulled out of an expedition to cross Antarctica during the region’s winter after developing frostbite, a bitter disappointment for an adventurer who had spent years preparing for the great polar challenge....
The expedition, dubbed ‘‘The Coldest Journey,’’ will continue without him....
Fiennes, who has been going where others fear to tread for decades and in 2009 became the oldest person to summit Mount Everest, already is missing parts of his fingers on his left hand because of frostbite suffered on a North Pole expedition a decade ago....
The polar trek is especially dangerous because no aircraft can travel inland in the winter due to the darkness and risks that fuel will freeze. That means there would be virtually no chance of a search-and-rescue operation if disaster strikes.
