NOAA scientist: What's happening to weather records is like what happened to home run records during the steroid era. Records that are normally broken by one or two tenths of a degree are now being obliterated by more than a full degree. --Bob

If we ignore the rest of the world, and the other causes we actually know caused the weather pattern we can still blame CAGW.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

The Capitol Power Plant, a 99-year-old facility that heats and cools the hallowed halls of Congress, still burns coal and accounts for one-third of the legislative branch's greenhouse gas emissions. For a decade, lawmakers have attempted to clean it up.http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03 ... rgy-hopes/But Congress is running out of options to make the plant fully green. On Friday the House announced that it was abandoning its goal to be carbon neutral and would no longer buy offsets to make sure it was removing as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it releases. Those offsets were key to zeroing out the remaining emissions at the power plant that could not be reduced by other means.
Thought I would post an update to the first post on this thread
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government ... mentalistsWashington, DC local residents and environmentalists gathered at a meeting room in a Methodist Church on Capitol Hill last Thursday to discuss their dissatisfaction with the Capitol Hill cogeneration plant.
The plant, which was completely coal fired for almost one hundred years, exclusively heats the capitol. However, since 2007, according to the Architect of the Capitol (AOC), the plant began to move from burning primarily coal to burning mostly natural gas--but not entirely. Coal is still burned at the plant, but the rate of its reduction is not fast enough for local environmentalists and lawmakers.

Here is a guy acting like its a crisis

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituar ... Green.html
Mott Green, who has died in an accident aged 47, was a “barefoot businessman” who founded the Grenada Chocolate Company, a Grenada-based “handcrafted from tree to bar” organic chocolate cooperative which produces some of the best chocolate in the world.
Green was born David Lawrence Friedman in Washington, DC on April 15 1966, and brought up on Staten Island. He eventually became known as Mott (a Grenadan version of his nickname, “Moth”), and adopted the surname Green to reflect his commitment to environmentalism.

Hundred-Year Period Of Increased Solar Activity Coming To An End
Of course I'm not ‘Super Sophisticated’ so what do I know?
Further evidence suggesting that the sun may be implicated in global warming has emerged in a paper published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. The astronomical finding based on a careful analysis of sunspot activity has clear implications for climate science as the so called “grand maximum” in solar output identified by the researchers and observed between 1950 and 2009 co-incided with the rapid warming of global surface temperatures seen during the second half of the 20th century. This finding that the period of most intense global warming has coincided with an unprecedented peak in recorded solar output will add pressure onto the IPCC to look again at the interconnection between the sun and the climate
August 16 Arctic sea ice area is the highest in a decade, up 54% from two years ago, and within one standard deviation of the 1979-2014 mean
The fact that all the world’s complex and expensive climate models can’t explain climate change since the last glacial period ended is one of the little talked about embarrassments of climate science.
Of course I'm not ‘Super Sophisticated’ so what do I know?
Billionaire hedge-fund manager Tom Steyer attempted to explain why there is still a sizable portion of Americans that do not buy in to global warming alarmism by, basically, generalizing virtually all of America as not “super sophisticated.”
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

NBC is so determined to keep “Today” host Matt Lauer happy after its rocky patch with the show, it’s agreed to foot the bill for helicopters to fly him to the Hamptons and back.
