A Dry Spring: Drought Expands In Texas And Florida, Pounding State Economies | ThinkProgress

Since Nov. 1, 2012, Daytona Beach has received just a little more than 40 percent of its normal rainfall, making it the 7th driest period in 80 years. [Wow, I'm not a mathematician, but the odds against that happening naturally must be astronomical!]

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper confirms Greenland is resistant to thaw

A paper published today in Climate of the Past confirms other recent peer-reviewed research finding that Greenland is much more resistant to thaw from warming than previously thought. The authors note that "During the Last Interglacial period (~ 130–115 thousand years ago) the Arctic climate was warmer than today, and global mean sea level was probably more than 6.6 meters higher," but that "Our combined modelling and palaeodata approach suggests that the Greenland ice sheet is less sensitive to orbital forcing than previously thought." Since the orbital forcing during the last Interglacial was more than 20 times greater than the alleged forcing from a doubling of today's CO2 levels, Andy Revkin's comment that "Greenland doesn't need saving" is quite correct.
