Climategate Redux: NASA and NOAA have been falsifying climate reports for years

Climate-gate part I occurred in early December when a still-unknown person posted thousands of e-mails and documents on a scientific website. The e-mails showed that scientists at the leading "global warming" research institute in the world, East Anglia University's Climate Research Unit (CRU) had "changed" weather data to prove their climate-warming theories, and squelched dissenting opinions from skeptical scientists to maintain credibility for their fraud.

Climate-gate part II begins now: The scientists with Icecap.us website announced findings late last week that not only was the CRU involved in producing fraudulent weather data, but two United States agencies, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), have also been falsifying climate reports for years. NOAA, the report concludes, is actually "ground-zero" for the fraud of global warming, not the East Anglia Institute.

Public Information Statement, National Weather Service, Key West, Florida

The last several days have seen one of the longest and most intense periods of cold weather ever recorded in Key West. Temperatures dropped well below normal in the wake of a strong cold front on January 2nd and have remained more than 10 degrees below normal each day since then, up through January 12th. The coldest temperatures during this period were observed on January 10th and 11th, after a powerful reinforcing Arctic cold front moved through the region.

Below are the high and low temperatures, along with the departure from normal of the daily average temperature, recorded at Key West airport each day since the cold wave began:

Cuba cold snap kills 26 at psychiatric hospital

Twenty-six patients at Cuba's top hospital for the mentally ill died this week during a cold snap, the government said Friday.

Human rights leaders cited negligence and a lack of resources as factors in the deaths, and the Health Ministry launched an investigation that it said could lead to criminal proceedings.

A Health Ministry communique read on state television blamed "prolonged low temperatures that fell to 38 degrees Fahrenheit (4 Celsius) in Boyeros," the neighborhood where Havana's Psychiatric Hospital is located.

Kenyan flood death toll rises to 38: Red Cross

Nairobi - Floods in Kenya after heavy rains have killed 38 people and forced more than 40,000 from their homes, the Red Cross said Thursday.

While rainfall has been minimal in many parts of east Africa's biggest economy this week, the impact of heavy downpours since December is still wreaking havoc.

Flash floods in the coastal district of Malindi Thursday caused a river to change course and submerge 100 acres of maize crops, a staple food in Kenya, the Red Cross said.

"Livelihoods have been greatly affected and are in dire need of humanitarian aid," it said.

The arid northern region of Turkana, which has been suffering from drought, was badly hit. The Red Cross said 8 people had died and nearly 5,000 households were uprooted by floods.

The heavy rains have been blamed on El Nino weather patterns across east Africa and are a mixed blessing for Kenya which is emerging from one of the worst spells of drought in years.

It's summer in Australia... and it's snowing!

Canberra - Australia is following its second-hottest year on record with extraordinary snow flurries in its southeastern alpine region, where some towns have recorded their first-ever summer snowfalls.

Australia's temperatures during the summer months of December through February can be uncomfortably hot even on its highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko, which stands a modest 7,310 feet (2,228 meters) above sea level.

Snow fell to 3,000 feet (900 meters) above sea level Monday in parts of New South Wales and Victoria states, Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Jane Golding said.

"Any time of year, it's unusual to have snow down that far," she said.

Golding said a cold front had brought frigid air from the Antarctic Ocean to southeast Australia. Normal summer temperatures are expected to return to the region on Wednesday.

The town of Bombala in New South Wales, east of Kosciuszko, recorded its first summer snow since the bureau began keeping records there in 1965, Golding said.

Flashback Himalayan Glaciers Are Actually Growing

Perched on the soaring Karakoram mountains in the Western Himalayas, a group of some 230 glaciers are bucking the global warming trend. They're growing.

Throughout much of the Tibetan Plateau, high-altitude glaciers are dwindling in the face of rising temperatures. The situation is potentially dire for the hundreds of millions of people living in China, India and throughout southeast Asia who depend on the glaciers for their water supply.

But in the rugged western corner of the plateau, the story is different, according to a new study. Among legendary peaks of Mt. Everest like K2 and Nanga Parbat, glaciers with a penthouse view of the world are growing, and have been for almost three decades.
