Cold to continue in Falls

This month, so far, is the third snowiest December and the ninth coldest December on record in International Falls, according to Kevin Donofrio, National Weather Service meteorologist.

The Falls has received 24.7 inches of snow this month and has experienced an average temperature of 0.6 degrees, Donofrio said.

Before the month is over, Donofrio said he expects the month to move up to the second snowiest, which now stands at 31.7 inches of snow.

The Colossus of Rhodey: Global warming hysteria rocks on

Time to face facts, people. We were swindled by the likes of Al “I Should Never Have Gotten a Nobel for my Hysteria” Gore and his ilk.

Likely Obama Appointee Includes Climate Change Alarmist John Holdren | OpenMarket.org

The vocal Holdren predicted in the mid-1980s that climate-related catastrophes might kill as many as one billion people before the year 2020 but now brushes off inquiries about such failed catastrophism while continuing to sound a similar alarm. He is a longtime collaborator with none other than failed prognosticator of doom Paul Ehrlich, with whom he collaborated to hold a “Cassandra Conference” in 1988 (Cassandra is the lass from Greek mythology whose prophecies were always true and always ignored).

As I note in Red Hot Lies, Holdren’s name also pops up in various, largely successful efforts to elevate taxpayer funding of the global warming industry. Finally, note that Holdren’s recent record includes being enlisted by Scientific American in its clumsy effort to smear and otherwise discredit Bjørn Lomborg.

With a Holdren nomination, the President-Elect will have made his intentions unmistakably clear. This will unleash a policy battle royale and, fortunately, likely the ultimate defeat of the alarmist agenda.
