THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Obama's green jobs program costing over $11 million per job
Clearly, in terms of “bang for the buck,” government programs that coddle renewable energy are losers. In terms of jobs, the losers are the American workers who would otherwise be gainfully employed but for the tremendous waste of taxpayer dollars on the administration’s obsession with “green energy.” As the economy continues to suffer and dollars for federal programs get harder to come by, it is getting increasingly difficult to defend a program that costs so much and produces so little.
THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Latest BS from climate modelers on Trenberth's 'missing heat'
A new paper published in Geophysical Research Letters attempts to explain how Trenberth's missing heat got lost in the oceans by claiming that the oceans have somehow become more efficient at absorbing heat over the past decade. The authors note that "the rate of increase of global-mean surface air temperature has apparently slowed during the last decade" [to approximately zero], none of the "state-of-the-art" climate models predicted this "hiatus," and that "the models tend to overestimate the [surface air temperature] trend."
