Reference for the record.

Also: La Nina will continue, probably a little weaker this winter. More cold weather over most of US and Canada.

By Joseph D’Aleo, CCM, AMS Fellow

La Nina is gradually returning. The Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI) has dropped to -0.74 in October, well into weak La Nina territory. The tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures all the way from South America to beyond the dateline are back below normal. The North Pacific as a whole remains strongly in the cold mode (negative PDO). The Atlantic is weakly in its warm mode (Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation is positive). The sun recently showing slight signs of life is still at solar minimum levels. The winds in the stratosphere over the tropical Pacific are blowing anomalously westerly) in their Quasi Biennial Oscillation.

All these conditions point to another cold winter in all but the southeastern United States, most of central and western Canada, most of western Europe, eastern and southern Asia. Expect a coolish summer in South Africa, Indonesia and South America and parts of New Zealand and Australia.

FOTFL Might be easier to track the ones that he actually keeps.

There is a wider question about the ETS that must be addressed, and that is whether it is a sensible mechanism to regulate carbon.

So much BS and so little time, the only carbon worth owning is very hard and it is called a diamond.

“Finally, as David Fogarty, Climate Change Correspondent, Asia for Reuters reports here, U.S. President-elect Barack Obama’s credentials may be green, but gathering financial gloom means fixing the economy will take priority on his agenda before dealing with national carbon trading and clean-energy investment.”

Blather. And from a reporter in Asia? Barack is going full steam ahead on carbon trading.

“We’re guessing until he goes and checks his bank account and finds out how much in debt he is,”

Funny. We are the world reserve currency. Obama is going ahead with carbon trading—or trying for it at least.

No! Because if he does keep all of his promises, we will really be screwed. Let the environmentalists point out his broken promises.

IRONY....Europe is Right and America is Left.

Following Liberal logic, we should do what they do, right?

You do realize, don't you, that these terms are way beyond the intellectual grasp of the average Obama voter?  :-)

One a different thread, I suggested we keep track.

I will start with matching money for campaign. Promises, and dates broken would be nice...

A New Theory of Climate Change
by Larry Vardiman, Ph.D.*
http://www.icr.org/article/4156/

This is an astounding article about recent proof that the weather increasing and decreasing in temperature is due to sun spot activity. A absolute must read for anyone who desires the answer in scientific but simple language about a new theory and scientific test that may prove it. Please let me know if you have read the article and what you think.

Spread the news far and wide!
