UK Guardian Reproduces Fake Barrow Alaska Pic as Proof of Global Warming by Macsmind

Here’s a picture from a Barrow Sea Ice Cam, from today, 7/26/2009. You can see the ice clearly off the cost, just where it’s been all along. Along with that here is the “Sea Ice Break-Up” outlook for Barrow Alaska. According to the site it began on July 11th.

Thomas Friedman, the Unpatriotic Hypocrite

How does New York Times columnist and member in good standing of the Church of Global Warming Thomas Friedman live his message of global warming alarmism?

I can’t say, exactly, but it apparently requires a humongous house with a huge pool spread out on lots of cleared land. And his buildings all have slate-grey roofs!

I really don’t care if Friedman has a house so big that, if you turned on all the lights, half the Eastern seaboard would go dim. I do care that he wants the rest of us to live by rules he’s more than happy to lay on us but isn’t willing to live under himself. His hypocrisy is nothing more than garden variety smiley-face fascism and, like the progressive who came before him, he’s trying to twist the language to suit his purposes.

The Reality-Based Community: George Will's tinfoil hat

Every degree of global warming does greater damage than the previous degree, simply because small changes are easier to adjust to than large ones. Therefore, the greater the uncertainty about potential global warming, the stronger the case for doing something about it sooner rather than later.

Hydrocarbons in the deep Earth?

Washington, DC—The oil and gas that fuels our homes and cars started out as living organisms that died, were compressed, and heated under heavy layers of sediments in the Earth's crust. Scientists have debated for years whether some of these hydrocarbons could also have been created deeper in the Earth and formed without organic matter. Now for the first time, scientists have found that ethane and heavier hydrocarbons can be synthesized under the pressure-temperature conditions of the upper mantle —the layer of Earth under the crust and on top of the core. The research was conducted by scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory, with colleagues from Russia and Sweden, and is published in the July 26, advanced on-line issue of Nature Geoscience.
