- Dems ask NFL, NBA for suggestions on how to battle climate change — Dem Sen. Whitehouse: ‘Climate change is already affecting all of us, and we want to get all ideas on the table to address it’
'A new Capitol Hill climate task force wants a wide range of parties — including energy comps, green groups, sports leagues — to submit suggestions for federal actions to battle global warming...Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.): 'We want to break the Beltway barricade & ask a broad array of businesses, non-profit organizations, & academic institutions to share their ideas about actions the fed govt can take'
- Matt Lauer Exposes Al Gore’s Hypocrisy: ‘Gore visited NBC’s Today show & was challenged by Matt Lauer to defend selling out to Al Jazeera’
'Today' show displayed a quote from Gore's new book. It reads, 'Virtually every news & political commentary program on TV is sponsored in part by oil, coal & gas companies...' So Lauer asks Gore if his sale of Current TV to a network owned by the emir of an oil-earnings-fueled Middle East country (Qatar) doesn't smack of a contradiction. To which Gore had a lame response. 'I certainly understand that criticism. I disagree with it'
- New paper finds potential glacier contribution to sea levels is 43% less than IPCC claims — Published in The Cryosphere
Study 'finds the ice volume of global glaciers is 43% less than estimated by IPCC. 'The total volume of all glaciers in the world is 0.35 ± 0.07 meter sea level equivalent,' as compared to IPCC estimate of 0.5 meter sea level equivalent. This new paper, along with other papers demonstrating Greenland is resistant to warming, & ice mass gain in Antarctica is reducing sea levels, demonstrate that IPCC projections of sea level rise are greatly exaggerated'

Retweeted by Michael Mann: 'Warmest year on record. Can people who care about their families & Earth outvote BIg Oil & trash papers like WSJ?'
- German wind energy 2012: No increase in wind energy production despite 1000 new wind turbines
'Despite the increase in the number of units (1000 new units, NNoN), the amount of electricity they contributed to the grid merely remained stable. According to Sylvia Pilarsky-Grosch, VP of the German Wind Energy Association, 'We didn't produce more electricity in 2012 with wind energy than we did in 2011.' And one of the reasons for that was that there simply wasn't enough wind'

The Media Is Lying About Greenland and Climate Change – It has in fact rained on Greenland before
Last week, media outlets across the globe claimed that there has been rain for the first time at the Greenland summit. “Rain fell at the normally snowy summit of Greenland for the first time on record,” read CNN’s headlines. Others went a step further and declared it a sign of climate doomsday. “Rain On Greenland Ice Sheet, Possibly A First, Signals Climate Change Risk,” read another headline. Unfortunately, for the mainstream media, climate history nearly always comes back to haunt their claims of unprecedented events. Records reveal that this is not the first rainfall in Greenland, and certainly not the first on the Greenland summit peak, which stands at around 10,000 feet.

Say what? Failing to act on climate change could ‘finally expose China as a global outlaw’!? — Not concentration camps, ethnic cleansing, slave labor, collectivism & authoritarian control?!
NY Post: Ponder this rhetorical question, posed by a columnist at The Hill: “Could climate change finally expose China as a global outlaw?” So it wasn’t the concentration camps that did it. Or the ethnic cleansing. Or the slave labor. Or the decades of collectivist-induced economic misery and authoritarian control. Or the state censorship. It was Beijing’s violations of the Paris Accord.
Indeed, certain pundits have been openly envious of the ability of Chinese Communists to compel their citizens to adopt carbon-mitigation policies. The commissars must be such a disappointment to them.

Arctic September Minimum Sea Ice Extent Trend RISING Over Past 10 Years – Norwegian Data
OSI Arctic sea ice minimum since 2012 ftp://osisaf.met.no/prod_test/ice/index/v2p1/nh/osisaf_nh_sie_daily.txt
September minimum trend has contradicted Al Gore’s predictions of an ice free Arctic. Whether sea ice has turned the corner and will start a recovery still remains to be seen. One thing is certain: The predictions of an ice-free Arctic soon made a decade ago were flat out wrong.

New York Times urges a stop to a changing climate! Claims ‘it is impossible to guarantee safety of people so long as the climate continues to change’
