Gaia is freezing; it’s the sun, stupid

Daily Tech records the following: All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA’s GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

Meteorologist Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C — a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it’s the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

More Obama plagiarism?

An incisive article on the audacity of vacuity, with this kicker paragraph:

This sounds to me like a man doing an impression of what he thinks a great speech might be like. It is the kind of empty exhortation that usually gives politicians a bad name. Peter Sellers, a British comedian of the 1960s, caught the genre nicely in a parody speech: “Let us assume a bold thrust and go forward together. Let us carry the fight against ignorance to the four corners of the earth, because it is a fight that concerns us all.” Mr Obama might easily give a speech like that - although he would probably strip out some of the detail.

Ouch!

A panel of Beltway journalists take their version of a PBR ride up river to electoral Cambodia as they pose questions to senior Clinton campaign staffers. It’s a toss-up as to what’s more appalling in the Clintonistas, their smugness or their utter disconnect from reality.

A gun buyback program highlights the foolishness.
