- Analysis finds electric cars depreciate much faster than conventional cars
Plug-ins are worth less compared to their original value over five years than conventionals - Pure electric cars take a bigger hit than plug-in hybrids - Many electric cars qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500, plus state or local incentives. Big discounts on new cars hurt residual values.

- Gore-backed (and US govt-backed) Fisker Automotive delivers $100,000 plug-in hybrid lemon to Consumer Reports; inexplicably broke down after 180 miles of testing
'One of Fisker primary financial backers is venture captital firm, Kleiner Perkins, of which Gore is a partner. Fisker received a $528.7 million conditional loan from Dept. of Energy's...That's a LOT of money to produce only 200-300 thus far, some of which seem to be lemons. This is same company that caught flak because after it secured US govt financing, started assembling their cars in – Finland. Fisker seems headed for same fate as Solyndra'

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.
