Global warming is a planetary emergency, climate alarmists tell us. America and the rest of the world must fundamentally alter our lifestyles and radically reduce our consumption of energy and our industrial emissions ... This is science, they tell us, and the science is settled.
President Obama echoed this in his State of the Union address, pointing his finger at the American people and declaring global warming a "fact" despite the evidence on the ground. If Mr. Obama is to make such a decisive statement on the accuracy of computer models, then one would suppose he was privy to precise and accurate -- and complete -- data.
If global warming aka climate change aka global climate flatulence is so serious a problem, then why are they allowing our system of moored ocean buoys that measure sea surface temperatures ... to degrade?
And the number of surface measurement stations has declined precipitously during Mr. Obama's tenure of office... over 600 weather station closures in the last two years, and the aging stations still in operation have a warming bias due to aging radiation screens -- a bias as high as 1.6 degrees Celsius in daytime hours. When stations are closed, their records are deduced from averaging records from other stations, many of them quite distant from the closed station.
Meteorologist Anthony Watts conducted a survey of surface stations and found a warming bias as a result of the Urban Heat Island Effect as cities have blossomed around once isolated stations. Watts's survey found a warming bias between 2 and 5 degrees Celsius, well above the alleged planetary temperature rise.
It's not as if this administration were broke; it wasted money on studies of duck penises, on tax deductions for Nevada brothels...seems the truth is not so important to science after all.

If there is anything we have learned in the last 5 years, it is that facts, truth and results don’t matter any longer. With the mainstream media leading the charge, we have entered a new era of government propaganda. Stalin and Hitler would be jealous.
The single largest source of global warming greenhouse gasses is the oral flatulance of the treasoncrats up on crapital hill
Up to the moment that the U.S. has to put up a giant LED screen to broadcast the morning sunrise to its people, the rest of the world can just STFU.

Thanks to fracking, the US is in compliance with the Kyoto protocol. He should be pointing his finger at India and China.
