Scientists change their theories based on who is paying them.

The pay is going to go up....I just posted this yesterday:

Dont you worry, there are billions going towards finding out these “quarterly fluctuations”. Then even more billions to cover them up.

“40 years ago, they told us we were headed into a new Ice Age”

Scientists weren’t very good 40 years ago. Today, they’re government employees.

Didn’t think it was.

The sky’s not falling after all. They must be so disappointed.

Thanks Ernest.
A slow-down - dramatised in the movie The Day After Tomorrow - is projected by some models of climate change.
This part of the article comes as a huge relief to me, since like most Americans, I rely on Hollywood for my scientific information. ;')

Actually, here in PA we have had scary COOLING since March 21. If we continue at the current pace (74F 3/21 vs. 50F 3/28), we will be looking at a HIGH of negative 32F in June! The next ice age is coming if we don’t DO SOMETHING!! AHHHH! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!

"Please, someone, tell me there’s a good explanation for this scary trend of warming temperatures ever since March 21."

If THIS GUY would just stay put, no one in 'Da Nort' would even KNOW it's Spring! I guess he's next on Algores Hit List, LOL!

Why does the Gulf Stream hate women, minorities and children. Oh, and the elderly (at least those that don’t need to die to pay for Obamacare - it’s good to hate those who should die to help pay for Obamacare).

At least the BBC did not throw any political agenda out in this article. It is rather neutral. Good for them.

Make sure you open windows opposite each other. If not the rush of air in the wrong direction could slow down or speed up the rotation of the earth, causing all sorts of problems.

EXCELLENT analogous allegory symbolizing EXACTLY how insane the globaloney believers are. WELL DONE!!!

Interesting semi-related randomness: I was reading through Neil deGrasse Tyson’s wonderful “Death by Black Hole” this afternoon and he mentioned a little snippet of how we might actually affect the Earth’s orbit due to chaos. He ran a computer model of the Earth’s orbit around the sun and gave one small “push” equivalent of the launch of one satellite rocket into space. Over the course of 6 billion years, that single “nudge” changed the predicted location of Earth in the orbit by 60 degrees. Of course, in 4 to 5 billion years the planet’s going to be engulfed in the outer layers of the sun, but it’s still an entertaining tidbit.

Having had to take a CA temp assignment, I managed to fly home to NH over the weekend, Oakland to Chicago to MHT.

The return flight from Midway to Oakland arrived twenty minutes early, the pilot stating that the winds aloft were less than normally encountered.

With a full bird, I doubt that the 737’s performance has
increased, but then I’m merely reporting what I experienced yesterday.

YMMV, of course.
