Later This Week When It Warms Up…

Spring In Upstate new York taken 5-26-13 - 3 feet of snow — Spring In Upstate new York taken 5-26-13 – 3 feet of snow

By the end of this week New England will be back to being warm again. When that happens, I’d like all the climate denier-deniers to remember that yesterday parts of the North East got three feet of snow. That Alaska is having a winter several weeks longer than average. That nationally, temperatures are down. That globally temperature have been flat for 16 years and may be declining. That I don’t feel all that comfortable putting any plants outside after June 1st for fear we might still be at risk for a very cold night or two.

What I’m trying to say is, it’s just weather.

If A Picture is Worth 1000 Words…

If a picture is worth 1000 words how many words can we expect from the screeching left-wing enviro-harpies who are already climbing on the graves of dead children in Oklahoma to make a case for Tornadoes, Temperature, and Global Warming.

Preface: Once again the “weather” is our fault. And while the average amount of Tornado activity has been lower in recent years, if at best average in the age of Inconvenient Gorey-truths, that has not stopped the “if we grow government we can change the weather crowd” from blaming this latest event (or any act of weather) on Global Warming Deniers and their failure to “let them fix it” with legislation.

This graph shows Greenland Ice Core temperature measurements for the last 10,000 years. Aren’t Ice Core’s great? Actually, the Warmists liked them fine until people who were not on their ideological taxpayer-funded crazy-train started asking questions. Question’s like, why do you keep insisting that man-made emissions are going to warm up the planet and destroy … Read more

Why Did We Need RGGI?

With the recent approval of significant electric rate increases that will allow PSNH to recover some $67 million dollars a year in costs related to legislated state energy mandates (NH Renewable Standard and the RGGI tax), having this fall into my in-box could not have been more fortuitous.

From the journal Earth System Dynamics billed as “An Interactive Open Access Journal of the European Geosciences Union” comes this paper which suggests that the posited AGW forcing effects simply isn’t statistically significant in the observations, but other natural forcings are.

What that means is that a European Science journal is reporting a study that tried to consider all the data and all the factors that might influence global temperature change and human activity (AGW) was deemed statistically insignificant. The things that drive temperature change–natural forcings–are what makes the world get warmer and cooler.

So why did we need RGGI?

If Sea Ice Grew and No One Was There to ‘Report’ It, Did It Really Happen?

Forbes has a story about the Antarctic. It’s that other frozen wasteland, the one you never hear much about. You don’t hear anything about it because for the past 33 years the amount of sea-ice in the antarctic has apparently been growing, and as of this week–due to record cold temperatures in the region–has reached its highest reading ever.

That means there is more sea-ice in the antarctic than at any time since we started recording it.

The real story, of course, is the fact that when Forbes searched Google News for any sign of the story it was nowhere to be found.

A historical record. More Antarctic sea ice than ever seen in recorded history. And the Chicken-Little Media isn’t reporting it…

Remember the halcyon days when the science of global warming was settled? Do you recall the dire warnings from ~~green industry activists~~ “experts” around the world, echoed by prominent herd-animal Democrats, including some from New Hampshire?
