WASHINGTON—The relentless, weather-gone-crazy type of heat that has blistered the United States and other parts of the world in recent years is so rare that it can't be anything but man-made global warming, says a new statistical analysis from a top government scientist. The research by a man often called the "godfather of global warming" says that the likelihood of such temperatures occurring from the 1950s through the 1980s was rarer than 1 in 300. Now, the odds are closer to 1 in 10, according to the study by NASA scientist James Hansen. He says that statistically what's happening is not random or normal, but pure and simple climate change.
"This is not some scientific theory. We are now experiencing scientific fact," Hansen told The Associated Press in an interview.

I knew it!! Chick-Fil_a Appreciation Day caused global warming. /s
When they talk about weather records falling, I generally smile.
The other day one reporter was trying to make hay out of the highest temperature in the last fifty years.
Another-words, fifty years ago the temperature was actually higher. And you know what, we somehow survived.
I know there’s a drought going on right now. It has been terrible for some folks. That’s rotten, but the worst they can say about it is that it’s the worst since the drought of the 1930s. Weather is cyclical. In twelve years they will be complaining about the temperature falling like they did in the 1970s.
In the early 70s they were hawking the idea that we were all going to die due to overpopulation too. Somehow we survived that too.
Buck up Lefties... we’re gonna make it, unless your presidents kill us all.
I don’t even like to hear Rove’s pompous a$$ voice.
Hansen is damaged goods. A Watermelon.
It’s been hotter and dryer than this in the past, and it will be hotter and dryer than this in the future. That’s my scientific theory on the subject.
NASA recently called CO2 one of the greatest coolants for its deflection of energy from solar flares. So, I have to wonder, could the lower levels of CO2 caused by closing coal plants and using less fossil fuels be the cause of this heat and dryness resulting from increased solar activity.
We’ve had cooler than average temperatures resulting from low solar activity, and we all knew the warming kooks would pounce on this high solar activity as an opportunity for demagoguery. In fact, it was predicted by many, making it a fact, not theory.

Me either anymore. As it turns out, Rove was behind a lot of the bad advice that W got over the years. Like never fighting back against the lies and smears. That drove me crazy for 8 years! Never understood it. That was Rove’s job to fight back! I can see the President not getting in the muck..but Rove and W ‘s surrogates sure as hell should have. They did little to nothing.
like the mail being late???
The more science you know, the less worried you are about climate
Thus, in a just-published US National Science Foundation-funded study, participants’ science knowledge and numeracy was tested and compared with levels of concern regarding climate change. The soft-studies profs were amazed, however, to find that as one moves up the scale of science knowledge and numeracy, people become more sceptical, not less.

Our goobermint’s answer to this will to be:
Deny grants, loans or scholarships for hard sciences students and increase those for journalism majors. (gotta have them to spread the BS from the “studies” put out by the race baiters ,”queer studies” majors, women’s studies students, and “environmental justice” majors.)
Searching...searching...searching.........Got it print it hope they believe it hope it sticks then we can set up camp and siphon money from them. They don’t give up
One clue is that the bubbles would have ALL melted, ALL over, not just two facing one direction.
I believe that Rove was behind the fact that W never used his veto pen during his first term—he should have used it, the stupid Republicans were spending money like drunken Democrats. This was the primary reason the Democrats took control of the House and Senate in the 2006 elections.
