The Baltimore cool record that you may not hear about - Baltimore Weather | Examiner.com

The last time Baltimore had a July day stay in the 60s was July 29th, 2001. Almost 11 years ago.

Did you hear about it on a major news outlet? I mentioned it on my Facebook Page with this graphic, and according to the analytics it was seen by just over 8,000 people. That is a smaller audience than most TV outlets, but it was mentioned on other pages as well.

Climate Common Sense: Gillard now history!

The latest Newspoll has the Labor party on 28% nationally , a drop of 3% after billion dollar bribes have been paid to Aussie voters with no effect on the numbers and the faceless men of the party will be forced to act soon.

The carbon tax: insurance against climate change?

Cutting greenhouse gas emissions is like buying an insurance policy: we incur a cost to reduce a risk.

Extreme weather plan is smoke and mirrors

But to suggest as it does that climate change, and the severe weather it allegedly spawns, is somehow a recent phenomenon worthy of costly, major bureaucratic intervention is fundamentally dishonest.

From the Great Hurricane of 1780 that killed up to 22,000 people in the Caribbean to the Central China Floods of 1931 in which as many as four million perished, extreme weather is as old as the hills. It occurred long before human carbon emissions were an issue.

The climate-change report zeroes in on the severe windstorm of 2006 in which 250,000 B.C. Hydro customers were without power.

It omits to mention, though, the extreme windstorms of 1934 and 1962. Was there no climate change then?
