Hillary Clinton Named Secretary of State

Hillary Clinton has accepted the position of Secretary of State, according to the Guardian. Love that paper by the way. They really have a progressive viewpoint on where America needs to change. We should listen to them.

So now we have Obama as President, Joe Biden as VP, and Hillary as Sec of State. I think there needs to be a place for Al Gore to combat Global Warming.

The naysayers still try and hold us back from the obvious: humans are killing this planet with their use of fossil fuels. October 2008 was the hottest year on record because the GISS said so. No right-wing blogger is going to try and change the truth with twisted facts and figures.

Make Gore the Secretary of Energy so we can get rid of the stupid coal plants and dino-fuel autos so animals and trees won't die anymore and my future children won't have to live underground.

The best part is this makes it so Hillary wins in 2016. Twelve years of Democrat rule. Won't that be awesome!? Life is going to be so much better for people like me, the downtrodden. We will no longer feel guilty for killing the planet.

Go Obama! Go Hillary! Bring Back Gore!

This is truly a magical time. Wow the U2 song "Beautiful Day" is now playing at the new Starbucks I am blogging from. See? The universe is already correcting itself from the last eight years of this...

Artic Sea Ice at Second Lowest Levels

Global Warming continues despite the Deniers' claims temperatures have stopped going up.

They just won't listen. From the climate change story on Yahoo:

More ominous signs Wednesday have scientists saying that a global warming "tipping point" in the Arctic seems to be happening before their eyes: Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is at its second lowest level in about 30 years.

Thirty years! That is huge because unlike what the Deniers say, that time frame covers two sun cycles so the warming cannot be solar. Duh.

And when you consider that the current solar cycle is showing little sunspots and yet record ice is melting, I think the jury is out on climate change. I believe in fact.

How many computer models does the IPCC have to run before the skeptics will finally believe that humans are the sole cause of Climate Change? The ice in the Arctic is melting at rates we haven't seen since the 1930's and they did nothing to stop it 70 years ago. We look back at our Grandparents and ask what were they thinking?

Al Gore is right, we can't let our Grandchildren ask the same question of us.

Super-Liberal Proves Global Warming Still Happening

Super-Liberal Shows Warming Hasn't Stopped

Here is yet more empirical evidence of global warming, despite what those holocaust deniers have been saying about this no-warming myth since 1998. It is a scientific experiment I did, and any of you can as well, that proved the planet still has a fever, it hasn't broken all you idiots out there with your Escalades!

I see you leaving them running while you come in for your coffee at Starbucks. This is why I blog from the corner table and not one near your capitalist stench that waifs from your very pores. It is bad enough I must view your obvious neglect for the welfare of our planet with an idling dinosaur fuel-ran auto but to smell the evil of materialism is just too much for my stomach to digest on top of the bran muffin my doctor says will help with the bloating.

The experiment was conducted over the last six months (January through June) with a daily temperature reading. The readings were taken at around the same time every day but I will admit that I missed a couple of weeks in April so I used May and June's averages then minused five from each one to fill in the missing weeks.

Here are the monthly averages:



~The average temperature at the beginning of the experiment was 22.4 F, and 76.2 at the end for a warming of like 55 degrees! The chart below also clearly shows this to be the case:



Now going further, there was a significant swing in the ratio of snowfall and rainfall precipitation:



If you look at both charts, you can plainly see that as the warming trend has continued, there has been a change from snow to rain as far as precipitation. This is obviously expected from a warming planet but the short time of the change is what is concerning, especially when the amount of rain is nowhere near the amount of snow. This could lead to water shortages, something predicted by the IPCC.

An unusually-warm April contributed heavily to the warming pattern:



What is the most-telling is how much that month added to the warming trend, especially since April historically tends to be cooler. Obviously, a warmer April means climate change is still happening. If this keeps up, we could lose a species or two before the decade ends.

(The study was conducted from daily temperature readings outside a liberal home in Arlington, Mass. from January 1 to June 30 then converted to monthly averages, with a +/- sampling error at around 4.5%.)

Super-Liberal Wants to Know: Who is Behind Climate Change Denial?

Big Oil of Course is behind it, and Bush

Loved this link on who's behind the climate holocaust denial machine. Look at this juicy tidbit:

The chief scientist of New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research, Dr Jim Salinger, knows all about misrepresentation. Two months ago, he was named by an Exxon-funded group, the Heartland Institute, as a scientist whose work undermined the theory that burning carbon was a cause of global warming.

The Heartland Institute - essentially a free market lobby - emphasises that "the climate is always changing". Salinger's research studied variation in climate, so his research was enrolled in the denial campaign.

Variations in the climate are normal, Salinger said, but this did not in any way weaken conclusions about the dangers of burning oil and coal. "Global warming is real," he said, and demanded reference to his work be removed. The institute refused. The Heartland Institute received almost $800,000 from Exxon, according to Greenpeace's research based on Exxon's corporate giving disclosures.
