Luetkemeyer attack was baseless, wrong - STLtoday.com

Human activity may contribute slightly to the warming trend; however, the hypothesis that human activity has caused climate change is invalid because it fails when tested against long-term and short-term physical data.

The attack was baseless and uncalled for.

Gov. Perry: Texas Ds in Congress "might oughta consider representing some other state"

[Perry]: I can't imagine any Texas representative or senator who votes for the cap and trade bill or Obamacare. This may sound a little bit harsh, but they might ought to consider representing some other state, because they're sure not representing Texas.

Cincinnati Meteorologist Rich Apuzzo: A flood of cold weather and climate data

I am predicting the average temperature to be around 70.2 degrees, breaking the old average by a full .50 degree. That may not seem like much because it’s an average, but it will be the coldest July ever and it will represent a total of 380 degrees below normal or 12.3 degrees per day!
...
How about this? We typically hit 90 degrees 8 times in July in Cincinnati. This month we will not reach 90 once! Beyond that, we haven’t even reached a “normal” high this month, and we will not do so before the end of the month. We have had 5 days with October level readings (highs in the 60s to low 70s), and there were 3 days with record cold high temperatures…so far.

Globally, we have more information on cooling ocean temperatures, flat sea-levels (no rises that were predicted by the climate models), thousands of record cold temperatures being set (in the United States alone) and monster winter storms in South America in places that haven’t seen such snow and cold in nearly a century. Oh, and the sun has been blank for 12 straight days, with an occasional weak sunspot trying to develop…and we’re nearly 200 days beyond the duration of a typical (485 days) solar minimum. Think about that. In a few months our minimum will be more than a year past the norm and there are still no signs of the new cycle beginning.
