Rachel Maddow and Bill Nye - Climate Change Mental Gymnastics/Basketball - YouTube
Maddow and Bill Nye use contradictory and hypocritical logic to try and explain that climate change is man made.
IPCC Censorship
When I read the sort of thing below I am always reminded of the old Quaker paraphrase of John 3: 19-20: "The children of the light love the light, and walk in the light, but the children of darkness walk in darkness, and hate the light" -- JR

By Prof. Claes Johnson

Here is a fresh example how IPCC suppresses science which does not support the CO2 alarmism IPCC presents to the world and its leaders
THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Deadliest US hurricanes occurred when CO2 levels were "safe"
All but one of the ten deadliest US hurricanes occurred with "safe" CO2 levels below 350 ppm
THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Biodiversity alarmism on the brink
the claim "one in every species could face extinction by 2100" is another example of pseudo-science feeding the alarmist mantra.
THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: More confirmation of Svensmark's theory?
A paper published this week finds that cloudiness over Russia has increased during the period of 2001-2010 compared to 1991-2000. Interesting in light of the corresponding global cooling since 2001, Svensmark's cosmic ray theory of cloud formation, the rise of cosmic rays since 2001 to record levels, and the concomitant decrease in solar activity.
Hurricane Fatalities, 1900–2010: Context in these Stormy Times | Watts Up With That?
Despite the press given to hurricanes on the dangers they pose to life and limb, in the larger scheme of things, their contribution to U.S. mortality (less than 0.01% on average each year) verges on the trivial. More importantly, death rates are substantially lower today than they were in decades past.
...
Figure 1 shows that 46% of all deaths from extreme weather events in the U.S. from 1993-2006 were from excessive cold, 28% from excessive heat, 10% from hurricanes 7% from floods, and 4% from tornadoes. Together they were responsible for an average of 1,301 deaths each year. To put these numbers in context, they constitute only 0.05% of the 2,367,000 deaths that occurred each year in the U.S., averaged over 1993-2006. Thus, hurricanes contribute, on average, about 0.006% to total U.S. mortality.
