Hubris unbound: 'We must harness the power of the Sun', say High Priests of Global Warming

Last Friday's report from the United Nations confirms the huge danger from our continued dependence on fossil fuel. But one simple thing can break this dependence. It needs to be cheaper to produce non-carbon energy than it is by digging up coal, gas or oil. Once this happens, most of the coal, gas and oil will automatically be left undisturbed in the ground.

To make non-carbon energy become competitive is a major scientific challenge, not unlike the challenge of developing the atom bomb or sending a man to the moon. Science rose to those challenges because a clear goal and timetable were set and enough public money was provided for the research. These programmes had high political profile and public visibility. They attracted many of the best minds of the age.

Riverton, Wyoming - 2nd largest September snowstorm ever

Connie Hoffman watched as neighbor Jacob Reutner sawed through fallen limbs that had crushed the chain link fence in Ruth Allison's front yard on East Adams Avenue.
"Plus, almost 4 weeks earlier than normal!" says reader Ralph Fato. Average 1st snow is October 22nd for RIW, says Ralph. They got 5.7″ on September 26-27 this year. Almost 4 weeks earlier than normal!

It's also the 2nd largest September snowstorm, and the 2nd highest snow total for the entire month of September. I believe records go back to 1907, not sure though.Green Leaves were still on the trees! (see more pics on their FB page)

"The question has been raised, "This is early for snow." Well, yes and no. Let's use the town of Riverton as an example. The average date of first measurable snowfall in Riverton is October 22nd; however, there have been several major September snow storms in Riverton's history. The earliest snow was on September 6th, 1929 when 3″ of snow fell.

The three largest September snow storms in history were:

The Riverton COOP station reported 1.50″ of water and 5.7″ of snow for the 24-hour period ending Friday, September 27, 2013, at 7 AM. That snowfall totals ties the storm that struck September 22-24, 2000, for the second largest September snow storm. September 2013 is now tied with September 2000 as the second snowiest"

Shortest summer on record in Alaska

Oddly, the IPCC forgot to mention this in their report.

With the early arrival of freezing conditions this month, it should be no surprise that the length of the continuous summer thaw season was the shortest on record in Fairbanks

Explosion caused by lightning destroys Fayette County facility

Officials with Fayette County Sheriff's Office are on the scene of a tank fire near La Grange.

Fayette County officials say that around 6:30 Saturday morning, lightning struck one of five combustible containers at the La Grange Salt Water Disposal Plant, causing it to explode. The explosion caused the remaining four containers to catch fire.

It took around 10 firefighters an hour to get the fire contained and under control.

Ralph Burris, owner of the plant, said that when wells product oil, they also produce salt water. The salt water is injected into a well so it can be returned to the area it is released from.

These types of facilities exist because the Railroad Commission of Texas says the salt water must be disposed of in a way that won't pollute other water. Fiberglass tanks are used as containers.

Officials say the facility is a total loss from the fire.

'Climate change' is solar system wide and yet they blame you?

They want to blame you. (Share this on the comments of all the news articles that post the IPCC bullcrap today)

New volcanic eruption reported off the coast of Lazio, Italy

europe
It would seem a new volcanic vent has formed and is ejecting gas and sand about 100 meters off the coast of Fiumicino, west of Rome: the phenomenon has started less than 24 hours ago and the mayor Outside Montino, along with his staff and experts from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology are headed to the scene to the foothills. At the moment in fact there is no news about the possible links that you have between this event and the past, showing the opening of many volcanoes in two Viale Coccia di Morto. On August 27, a volcanic vent opened up near Fiumicino, ejecting steam and gas- these two events could to be related and may suggest the geology under Italy is in the midst of massive changes. There are dozens of active, and very restless volcanoes sitting on the sea floor of the Tyrrhenian Sea. - CMI, TEP

US 'sea bass' makes history as first of its kind to swim to Dover... then get caught!

A fish native to North America has shocked British anglers by showing up on this side of the pond for the very first time.

The striped sea bass was caught in the waters of Dover
The striped bass- a relative of the European bass- was caught by fisherman Martin White at Dover, Kent.

The 2lbs 7oz sea fish is the first of its kind ever to be hooked in Britain.

The striped bass is usually a bit of a homebody, and rarely strays more than five miles from America's east coast- so experts are baffled at its capture.

Dr Gary Nelson from Massachusetts State Fisheries said: "It's unheard of for a striped bass to travel all the way across the Atlantic.

"It is possible that it came over to the UK in the warm waters of the Gulf Stream when it was just a fry.

Desperate times in climate alarmism

Computer models, scare stories and ad hominem rants underscore the alarmists' desperation

Al Gore is in full attack model, employing his ridiculous "Climate Reality Project" to "Draw the Line on Denial," even as he laid off 90% of the staff at his "Alliance for Climate Protection." Greenpeace has joined the fray, launching a "Dealing in Doubt" campaign that blames ExxonMobil for funding the "global warming denial machine."

ClimateProgress.org blogger Joe Romm faithfully echoes "Goreacle" and Greenpeace hysterics and blame-casting. To serve his partisan propaganda, he completely ignores the reality that the climate cataclysm cabal outspends the "deniers" by at least $1,000 to $1; ExxonMobil hasn't supported skeptic groups for years; and the real Big Oil money has gone to extreme green groups.

Chesapeake Energy alone gave $25 million to the Sierra Club, to advance the radical organization's anti-coal campaign. That one grant is ten times more money than the Heartland Institute received from all fossil fuel energy companies in its entire 29-year history, notes Heartland president Joseph Bast.

Meanwhile, President Obama continues to blame CO2-driven climate warming for tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires and droughts that are at the same level as, or lower than, they have been for many decades. His State Department is orchestrating climate treaties with island nations that contribute perhaps 0.1% of global carbon dioxide emissions - knowing the treaties could obligate the United States to severe and costly CO2 emission reductions that will drive up energy costs and strangle job creation and economic growth.

IPCC climate report is a crime against humanity as it continues to deny reality and perpetrate the obvious lie: humans 'dominant cause' of warming

A landmark report says scientists are 95% certain that humans are the "dominant cause" of global warming since the 1950s.

The report by the UN's climate panel details the physical evidence behind climate change.

On the ground, in the air, in the oceans, global warming is "unequivocal", it explained.

It adds that a pause in warming over the past 15 years is too short to reflect long-term trends.

The panel warns that continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and changes in all aspects of the climate system.

To contain these changes will require "substantial and sustained reductions of greenhouse gas emissions".

After a week of intense negotiations in the Swedish capital, the summary for policymakers on the physical science of global warming has finally been released.

The first part of an IPCC trilogy, due over the next 12 months, this dense, 36-page document is considered the most comprehensive statement on our understanding of the mechanics of a warming planet.

It states baldly that, since the 1950s, many of the observed changes in the climate system are "unprecedented over decades to millennia".

Comment: As we are already tired of pointing out the obvious, we invite the reader to analyze international weather reports or just look out of the window and see for themselves if our world is warming, or actually on the brink of a new Ice Age. IPCC's continuous and deliberate lying to the public is nothing short of criminal and negligent. The so called scientists should be ashamed of intentionally misleading the public, and for allowing psychopaths in power to execute their soulless agenda.
