Speaking of climate, did you get your new vehicle?

Ericsson can literally “ring up a moose.”

Well now we know why the moose once bit my sister!

While I cannot verify whether or not moose sweat, they seem to thrive in areas that do get relatively warm during the summer for example northern Minnesota. Wandering moose in recent years have even been sighted during the summer as far south as Iowa. Apparently moose do not die of heatstroke as readily as the global warming cultists would have us believe. I hardly think climate policy should be dictated by the vagaries of wandering moose.

Another story not worth mentioning....

We have a new sunspot: www.spaceweather.com Problem is that it is another last-cycle sunspot — which means the cycle that should have started months ago just isn’t starting.

Re sunspots: These are a result of magnetic activity in the sun. Fewer sunspots or a late starting cycle indicate less magnetic activity. This means less solar wind, which in turn means more cosmic rays from space reach Earth. That in turn means more condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere into clouds (part of cloud formation is cosmic rays ionizing dust particles in the atmosphere which then attract water vapor forming water droplets, i.e., clouds). In other words, more clouds. That has a net cooling effect and also incidentally results in more rain (see Midwest floods).

Now, the AGW crowd has tried to prove that the above doesn’t happen with statistical “studies,” computer models, etc. But the actual underlying physics is pretty bulletproof.

PS Some of the interactions are more complex. For example, why are the east coast and the midwest unusually cool while the west is getting blasted with a heat wave? Dunnno. But the fact that April and May were pretty cool globally and June is shaping up that way lends credence to these theories re sunspots and climate.

Global warming is true. We are in the middle or tail-end of a warm period, just like 1000 years ago, 1000 years before that and so on.

Anthropogenic Global warming is nonsense.

"Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull Global Warming out of my hat!"

"Again? But that trick never works!"

Last night I enjoyed watching Ice Road Truckers rolling across the Arctic Ocean in 18 wheelers. I don't think you can do that in the balmy clime the die hard AGW’s claim has come to the Arctic.

“However, scientists were able to prove that industry was damaging the climate. Scientists presented industries with possible scenarios and ways to adapt their products and mitigate climate change...

Why would scientists have to present 'scenarios' to industry leaders, if they had PROOF of their causing damage to the climate? Industries don't affect the overall climate of the earth. They can affect a local area's air or water quality, and have an impact on local residents' quality of life, but they simply don't have the ability to affect anything like a global climate.
