I’m off this weekend – talk quietly and politely amongst yourselves. Don’t make me come back here.
If you have something worth posting on the front page, flag a moderator. In the meantime I have a couple of stories that will post using the WordPress scheduler. – Anthony
Joel , Joel, Joel – the ‘globalwarmingart site as a reference? Is this in any even reputable (non-peer reviewed graphics)?
C’mon … a) the graph is misleadingly titled, b) the Y-axis is simply labeled ‘spectral intensity’ with no unit indication, c) thereby giving no indication of being linear or logarithmic and d) ostensibly shows earf (sic) and sun intensity peaks as being EQUAL (they are most assuredly NOT equal!) e) temperature radiative ‘curves’ for earf (sic) are labeled ambiguously AND f) are all shown to be EQUAL in intensity WHEN IN FACT T^4 will yield a higher peaked for the 310 deg. K curve.
Again, c’mon, the ‘globalwarmingart’ site as a cited source? Its art, man, not science! (Do your buddies at Deltoid, Tamino, RC or other know you just cited them?)

British readers may want to read the SuperFreakonomics extract in today’s Sunday Times (pages 1-3 of the News Review section, I don’t believe it is available in html form at thetimes.co.uk but you can get the first page by putting “sunday times” “news review” into Google and clicking the link – unfortunately pages 2&3 are behind a trial/sign-up wall). It is titled:
“Why Everything You Think You Know About Global Warming Is Wrong”
Visitors to Watts Up With That will not learn much but many of the facts ignored by the alarmists and kept from the hoi polloi are stated – the Sunday Times has a circulation of 1.2 million and the first Freakonomics book sold 3 million.
Inconvenient facts stated include: global temperatures are dropping; CO2 is a minor problem and ppm have been far higher in the past; sea levels are not rising dramatically and have been rising since the last ice age; climate models are crude, simplified and suffer from groupthink to keep funding; the importance of water vapour; Gore is groanworthy!
The second-half of the article deals with the $250m geo-engineering solution proposed by Nathan Myhrvold’s group.
More weather is not climate:
The low temperature in Choteau, Montana, yesterday was -4 degrees Fahrenheit, breaking the previous record of 18 from 1977.
Pretty decent jailbreak on the part of the Arctic cold.
Lots more records here:

I finally got to see the new version of “When the Earth Stood Still”… what a stupid adaptation. So instead of killing all the people of the earth with a quick nanobits death, the aliens take away ALL the energy sources (even the energy in batteries… and most likely electric cars) from us, condemning us to a very slow death for the majority of people. Those aliens are even more stupid than the AGWiers (or at least the writers are).
That really sounds like what the sleeping politicians want to do.

Without Watts I have no power.
Forget Global Warming… they are preparing the next BIG SCARE… “Planet Earth is Drying Up!” Where do they get their science????????
A little late but….WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY STATING THAT WE AMERICANS SPEAK TOO LOUD??? 🙂
Harold Ambler (08:18:38) :
Do you have a link directly to the -4 record ?
All top 5 headlines at Drudge are on global warming/ Gore

including this
“Soros says aims to invest $1 Billion in green tech…”
@Tom in Florida (06:25:07) :
“The point being that the drier air allowed the night time temperatures to get into the 60’s and the more humid air prevents that. I am talking about a 7-9 degree temperature difference at night solely due to water vapor levels. Water vapor clearly overwhelms any CO2 effects.”
Exactly.
I first noticed this as a teenager in the mid-60s, having grown up in Houston, Texas – a very humid city. Then made a two week trip into the much drier clime of northern New Mexico – Philmont Scout Ranch – in July. Not enough difference in latitude to make any difference, but the difference in absolute humidity had us trying to keep warm at night.
Anyone can see this, simply visit a desert state during the summer, stay up until midnight and see how cold it gets. Then try the same thing in, oh, Miami, New Orleans, or Houston. One can eliminate UHI effects by driving out into a rural area near those big cities.
Water vapor is king. CO2 is the serf.
Hey Gene,

Some of the records for max and min exceed the previous readings by more than 20 degrees Fahrenheit…
Clear dry skies, light wind in Pendleton, cold front overhead. Right now all the leafy green trees are dropping their green leaves. The colors have not turned to autumn hues yet in town. But the stem connections froze solid hard overnight. Now every little breeze brings them to the ground. Record low highs and record low lows are falling all over the place.

Yeah! I like it! Hit it one more time!

Climate Bill of oppression.
It’s Tea Party time!!!!!!!!!
The first cold spell of the season is underway in Europe now.
Although the track of the cold air mass is directed at the North and the East of Europe,
Germany will have to cope with snow from 1000 meters and frost.
We are clearly one month ahead of time with this winter weather.
Interesting times.

Will they push the Climate Bill through Senate?
With more and more GOP Senators selling out it looks if we are going to lose this major battle.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704471504574447090218534138.html
Call, write, fax, e-mail those Senators.
Call them every day and tell them they will be send out of Government if they support thus “Bill of fools”.
Fly this baby!
