I bet they got the idea from Michael Crichton’s ‘State of Fear’ – required reading for environmentalists. If I remember right, the heroes were saved from certain death by a chance encounter with a NASA ice-monitoring robot. But that was an SUV-sized robot, which for some reason had an onboard telephone.

That narrow corridor of heat just mentioned in my previous link just amazes me. It’s like Mother Nature just wants to keep the Germans completely fooled forever.

Luso, you’re right.
But in Germany and Eastern Europe it has been warmer than normal.
The unusual line of warmth from the Balkans to Scadinavia (see link) is exactly what keeps the folks in Germany believing the world is about to burn up.

I hear ya, Pierre, but signing the petition in no way implies or gives support to Gingrich. I don’t know what he’s up to, nor do I care, just that we do need to be finding new sources of domestic oil, and tapping into them. And no, I’m not giving him a cent (not that I could afford to anyway, with sky-high prices for fuel and food, and everything else).

A. Fucaloro, thank you for posting that. I signed the petition as a Dem, which I still am officially, though I plan to switch to Independent. Never liked Newt’s politics, but he’s right on this. As I understand, they also need to build more refineries. None have been built since 1976.

Anthony, sorry for this off topic and for my bad english.
Just to say that according to our national weather service in Portugal, the current month of May is the coldest of the last 15 years in Portugal and the rainy in past 7 years. I think in Spain the situation is similar.

REPLY: Thank You, The situation is similar in many other places in the Northern Hemisphere.

What is this for a joke?
What the he** is that enviro-turncoat Newt up to?
Donate $10 to him? Are you out of your mind?
How can Newt plead that we drill for oil, and at the same time go out
and preach with Gore the end of the world is coming because we’re burning too much fossil fuels? He’s losing it!
I myself have pledged to no longer have anything to do with McCain or Newt.

And if they’re using NOAA-approved temperature sensors, how much will they have to beef up the batteries to carry around the requisite concrete pad underneath?

I’m sure this is not the correct place on your blog to post this, but I believe you and many of your viewers will be interested in considering signing a petition posted at:

That and how many do they have, a couple or 50?

Although this is old news, it is curious the Telegraph printed it today. Maybe you’re right, someone may be coming to realize their careers are sinking lower than whale poop.

Considering that’s an Associated Press article, there reporting has to be taken with a grain of salt anyway. They are hysterians “par excellence.” Unfortunately, the Pogies fall for it every time.

If the data collected doesn’t confirm the models the AGW (Al Gore Warming) faithful will just ignore it and use some proxy instead much like a study reported earlier in the week where wind shear was used as a proxy for actual temperature data.”

I missed that one, Redneck! Is there a link available?

The science of global warming aside, this project at Georgia Tech must be running out of federal cash. That is the only way to explain why they released this press release. SnoMote in current form is just a intermediate lab prototype and Tech all but admits this in the release.
