The global temperature record reported by GISS, HadCRUT and Muller is completely broken. This is trivial to establish because they all show the 1910s and 1920s as being much cooler than the 1970s – despite the fact that during the 1970s global ice cover was rapidly growing, and in the early part of the 20th century global ice cover was rapidly shrinking  (see the bottom of the post for documentation.)   The 1970s must been colder than the 1920s – unless the melting point of ice changed between 1920 and 1970.

Now, here is a peek inside a disordered mind. In 1999 Hansen had a problem. His US temperatures (which had excellent  coverage since 1880) peaked in the 1930s, while his global temperatures (which had terrible coverage in 1880)  were rising rapidly.

Has Environmentalism Become An Institution? | UK Progressive

The vast wealth of the environmentalist groups may come as a shock to most readers who believe that these groups are made up of “public interest”, “nonprofit” organizations that are making great sacrifices to save the Earth from a looming doomsday caused by man’s activities. In fact, the environmental movement is one of the most powerful and lucrative businesses in the world today.

Most of these groups are very secretive about their finances, but there is enough evidence on the public record to show what they’re up to.

CHICAGO: Electric cars, no longer an oddity, make few inroads on market | National Business News | Idahostatesman.com

So far, Howard hasn't made use of any public charging stations - which have been popping up around Chicago thanks to a government-subsidized partnership. "It's not an easy way to recharge," he said. "You have to drive to it and sit there for an hour or two. All the ones that are available are 220V, and that's 14 miles for one hour's worth of charge," he said.

"A charging station is great as long as it's part of your destination. But it doesn't make sense along the way," said Rob Peterson, a spokesman for GM's Chevy Volt.

Despite taking his chances, Howard said he's only had one close call with running out of battery power. It occurred while he was driving back from his mother-in-law's house in Downers Grove, Ill., and he made it home by turning off the heat in 37-degree weather.
