2014 Was the Hottest Year on Record! Yeah, Right. #climatechange

"2014 was the hottest
  year on record!"
One of the most hard-to-believe memes to come out this month is the absurd notion that "2014 was the warmest year in history."  Really?  Where, on Uranus?

In my life experience, 2014 was one of the coldest years since my parents moved to California sixty-one years ago this month.  Arctic ice is at record levels.  Snow is falling all over the globe [see coming New York storm for instance].  Yet you can ignore all of that.  The "climate scientists" have decreed otherwise.  Ignore the icicles, the storms, the snow flurries: the warmists have spoken.

Anyone who believes in catastrophic man-made "climate change" will never get my vote.  Mitt Romney is therefore out of the question.

UPDATE:  Powerline reports that 2014 was one of the coldest years in the last 10,000 years, based on ice core data.  Also, Powerline shows how leftist governments have "adjusted" the data of prior decades to give a fake warming effect.  Read it here.

Debunking the "97% of All Climate Scientists" Claim About Global Warming

97% of all climate scientists believe in man-made global warming!

How many times have you heard this monstrous lie in any forum on climate change?

Well it's bogus and has been discredited.  The real figure is around 0.97%, according to an article posted at Yid With Lid.  It seems the researcher who came up with the fantastic number of 97% fudged his data heavily, including scientific papers in his count that were from dedicated global warming skeptics, and misrepresented the presentations of other scientists as well.

Hysterical Laughter at the Ice-Bound Global Warming Believers

The global warming fanatics made fools of themselves lately, and it does my heart good.  A bunch of them took a passenger ship to the antarctic to view the melting ice shelf caused by our boiling temperatures that are caused by man-made global warming.  What they saw instead was a massive ice buildup caused by blizzard conditions.  Their ship, the Russian vessel Akademic Shokalskiy, became ice-bound and couldn't move.  A Chinese ice breaker attempted rescue, but it too became ice-bound and unable to move  So the climate scientists froze their buns off from Christmas day to January 2nd, when they were finally rescued by a helicopter.

Scientists Who Dispute Man-Made Climate Change

Climate Depot is a climate related blog that I have linked to for a couple of years, but rarely read.  That's because the "global warming" controversy just isn't as sexy or as immediate as other current events.  Also, the climate controversy requires one to read graphs, study technical terms, and follow meandering scientific claims and counterclaims.  Since Barack Obama is now using the global warming fraud to once again undermine the economy, reading Climate Depot and related blogs (like Real Science) is now a priority.

If you read Wikipedia, a liberal biased site, you will see that "science" is 90% sure that human activity is driving global warming.  However, there is a growing number of qualified scientists who dispute this.  It is educational to read what some of the most prominent say about the "science" of global warming.  Read this article at Climate Depot: SPECIAL REPORT: More Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims – Challenge UN IPCC & Gore.


What is a "Climatologist"? Answer: a Recently Invented Job Title and Degree, Not a Science

In the ever evolving scam of anthropogenic global warming (now called "climate change" due to an absence of global warming), alarmists attack the opinions of any scientist who is not specifically a "climatologist."  This is a recurrent theme in alarmist propaganda as to why any dissenting scientist has no credibility.

So the Petition Project, which documents the dissent of over 30,000 scientists (over 9,000 of whom are PhD's), is meaningless...because physics, biology, chemistry, and even meteorology are not "climate change science" and therefore these scientists' opinions hold no weight.

This is undoubtedly the chief logical fallacy pushed by the warmists, i.e. an appeal to authority.  If some guy with a degree in "climatology" says man made global warming is happening on a large scale, than by god, it is and you can't possibly disagree.  Here's why that is B.S.:  if someone has a higher degree in math, and they say "2 + 2 = 5", you must accept what they say, because they have the degree and you don't.  This is especially true where the mathematician's conclusions are "peer reviewed."  That means another mathematician,  who is also receiving big bucks from the government to arrive at the desired conclusion, has reviewed your work.  Bingo!  2 + 2 = 5.

A climatologist is basically anyone with a degree in any number of sciences, who has used computer modeling to predict the weather or who has studied past weather patterns.  Big whoopee.  Here is an article from the Examiner.  Note:  it is four years old and since it was published, a number of "climatology" degree programs have been cobbled together by various universities.  However, it is still of value in spiking the warmist logical fallacy of "appeal to authority."

The Brazen Dishonesty of Global Warming Advocates

We are always hearing stories of how every climate scientist in the world is a passionate believer in man-made global warming, and how we are doomed, dooomed, doooooooomed unless we institute a form of totalitarianism to deal with it.

Okay, so I exaggerated, but not by much.  The latest massive B.S. broadside by the neo-Bolsheviks is that a full 97% of climate scientists believe in man made global warming.  For example, here is the Washington Post's claim:
97 percent of scientific studies agree on manmade global warming, so what now?  A new study confirms there is strong scientific consensus that human activities are causing the planet to warm. 97 percent of scientific papers (that take a stance on the issue) agree, the study finds.
However, the Post's statement above is total B.S.  The survey, taken by a biased warmist website, consisted of a question allegedly put to approximately 12,000 climate scientists who had written scientific papers on the subject.  James M. Taylor, managing editor of Environment & Climate News, writes:
As is the case with other ‘surveys’ alleging an overwhelming scientific consensus on global warming, the question surveyed did not address the issues of contention between global warming alarmists and skeptics. The question Cook and his colleagues surveyed was simply whether humans have caused some global warming. Most skeptics, like most alarmists, believe humans have caused some global warming. The issue dividing the two is whether humans are causing a global warming crisis demanding concerted action.
In other words, the study misclassified as warming-alarmists those who believe man's contribution to global warming, though real, is negligible and nothing to worry about.

Cook and colleagues further skewed the results of the study by falsely classifying skeptic papers as "taking no position" on AGW.  For example:
Morner, a sea level scientist, told Popular Technology Cook classifying one of his papers as “no position” was “Certainly not correct and certainly misleading. The paper is strongly against AGW [anthropogenic global warming], and documents its absence in the sea level observational facts. Also, it invalidates the mode of sea level handling by the IPCC.”
With such biased polling and classifying, it is no wonder that the Cook survey concluded that "97% of climate scientists believe that humans are causing global warming," a ridiculous, unsupported conclusion indeed.

Global Warming Disaster! Godzilla Awakened by Hurricane Sandy!

A lot of faked photos of Hurricane Sandy are making the rounds. This one, however, is absolutely true! I know, I am an expert on such matters.

"Eco-Tyranny" by Brian Sussman: Major Goals of the Left in Exploiting Environmental Issues

Brian Sussman
Brian Sussman, a very good guy in the San Francisco Bay Area, has written a new book on climate change and the global warming hoax.  His first book was "Climategate," a useful tome for putting the whole controversy into perspective and rebutting the alarmist claims and arguments.

"Eco-Tyranny:  How the Left's Green Agenda Will Dismantle America" goes further and delves into the left's use of environmentalism to construct massive wealth-redistribution schemes, to weaken or even destroy property rights, undermine the sovereignty of the United States, and justify massive power grabs by the federal government.

Sussman's book is helping me to better understand the long-held goals and strategies of the radical left, and I will soon write an article that lists them and explains them.  In a nutshell, however, those goals are (1) a one-world government where all countries are taxed and regulated by an international order, and (2) massive wealth redistribution from the industrialized nations to the underdeveloped ones, and massive wealth redistribution within nations from rich to poor.

In other words, the perennial goal of the left is international socialism.  Environmental issues are just the excuse, the rationalization, the Shtick, the latest scheme by which socialism is to be accomplished.

These goals, if realized, will mean that Americans will experience a major reduction in their standard of living, and will be forced to live the lifestyle beloved by the left:  smaller families, smaller homes, fewer modern conveniences, less personal choice, fewer opportunities.

Climate Scientists Warn of Space Alien's Pre-Emptive Attack on Earth

Aliens Pissed Off
About Pollution 
No, honest, this story is from the U.K. Guardian, not the Onion.  Talk about desperation arguments for saving the global warming hoax!  The Guardian reports:
Aliens may destroy humanity to protect other civilisations, say scientists. Rising greenhouse emissions may tip off aliens that we are a rapidly expanding threat, warns a report for NASA.

It may not rank as the most compelling reason to curb greenhouse gases, but reducing our emissions might just save humanity from a pre-emptive alien attack, scientists claim.

Watching from afar, extraterrestrial beings might view changes in Earth's atmosphere as symptomatic of a civilisation growing out of control – and take drastic action to keep us from becoming a more serious threat, the researchers explain.
Why would aliens give two hoots in hell about what we are doing to our planet?  How would that effect them?  Would our alleged "global warming" somehow affect planets in the Cassiopeia constellation? Ridiculous.

These eggheads have described the plot of the remake of "The Day the World Stood Still," when aliens come to earth to kill humans while saving all of the other species from our evil, polluting ways.  Of course, this remake was the dream scenario of climate crackpots all over the globe, who want humanity to die off to make the world safe for squirrels.

Apparently, some NASA scientists saw the movie, smoked some bad weed and woke up believing that the movie was real.  That's my theory anyway, and I think it is more credible than the aliens-as-climate-cops scenario.  Then the UK Guardian editors got a hold of the same batch of weed and woke up believing these hallucinations were an actual news story.  Either that or it's true what they say about liberalism as a form of insanity.  I report, you decide.

If ever there were a reason to stop all funding of "global warming" research, now is the time. The AGW crowd gets weirder by the day.

Another Body Blow to the Global Warming Crowd

For a long time now, the anthropogenic global warming crowd has been telling us to ignore our lying eyes and believe their computer models instead.  A new NASA report shows those computer models have been wrong.  They are wrong in that they posit a much larger entrapment of heat in earth's atmosphere than actually exists.  Satellite data over a decade shows that a lot more heat is escaping into space than the computer models predicted.

James M. Taylor is senior fellow for environment policy at The Heartland Institute and managing editor of Environment & Climate News.   He explains the findings of this new study:
NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.
Read Spencer's article here.

When I read Brian Sussman's book "Climategate," he stated that for decades scientists have been measuring the earth's temperatures with earth-bound measuring stations throughout the globe, and that these stations produce a lot of inaccurate data.  Sussman claimed that satellites from space could measure the earth's temperatures with far greater accuracy, and that global warming would be disproved when enough satellite data became available.  He was right.

Some pundits are saying that this new report is the death knell for the global warming movement. Let's hope so.  The left will have to invent a new fraud to accomplish "socialism by other means."

Huge Earthquake in Japan: Caused by "Climate Change"?

A huge earthquake has hit Japan, causing a Tsunami that has flooded parts of the island nation.  Around 300 people were killed.

William Teach is reporting that the "global warming" crowd is trying to blame the earthquake on "climate change."  Yeah, sure.

The earthquake and damage to Japan won't help the economic recovery.  We will no doubt pay millions or billions to help Japan recover.  Obama has sent the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan to Japan to assist recovery and rescue efforts.

More Backlash Against the "Global Warming" Alarmists

Disgust among the populace seems to be growing as AGW alarmists blame the freezing weather on "global warming."  There's a new article on the subject in Forbes today, "Hot Sensations vs Cold Facts" by Larry Bell.  According to Bell, some of the claims of melting icebergs and rising sea levels are not based on actual observation, but on the notorious computer models that have proven highly dubious.

With the right "computer model," one could "prove" that the sky is falling.  It's all in the programming and the assumptions fed into it.  However, any contrary news that seems to rebut global warming is ignored by the mainstream press.  Bell writes:
As 2010 draws to a close, do you remember hearing any good news from the mainstream media about climate? Like maybe a headline proclaiming "Record Low 2009 and 2010 Cyclonic Activity Reported: Global Warming Theorists Perplexed"? Or "NASA Studies Report Oceans Entering New Cooling Phase: Alarmists Fear Climate Science Budgets in Peril"? Or even anything bad that isn't blamed on anthropogenic (man-made) global warming--of course other than what is attributed to George W. Bush? (Conveniently, the term "AGW" covers both.)
Read it all here.

Meanwhile, a British meteorologist and global warming skeptic, one Piers Corbyn, went on Fox News to claim that more brutal winters are coming.  Corbyn denounced the "failed science" of global warming and says the earth is actually in a cooling phase.  An article in Mediaite states:
Predicting in November that winter in Europe would be “exceptionally cold and snowy, like Hell frozen over at times,” Corbyn suggested we should sooner prepare for another Ice Age than worry about global warming. Corbyn believed global warming “is complete nonsense, it’s fiction, it comes from a cult ideology. There’s no science in there, no facts to back [it] up.” Furthermore, he disputed the underlying assumption of most scientists, arguing that higher carbon dioxide levels does not actually have the effect of increasing temperature, and instead global warming supporters “fiddle the facts to justify political attacks.”

Global Warming Is Freezing the Planet: or Why to Never Believe Liberals

Iced-Over by Global Warming
Investors Business Daily has a great article today, "The Abiding Faith of Warm-Ongers."  They write:
No matter what happens, it always confirms their basic premise that the world is getting hotter. The weather turns cold and wet? It's global warming, they say. Weather turns hot? Global warming. No change? Global warming. More hurricanes? Global warming. No hurricanes? You guessed it.
IBD has it right.  There is no truth but that which furthers the revolution.  All weather patterns and climate phenomena must be interpreted as "global warming."

The new meme out of the climate-statists is that the freezing weather is just a by-product of global warming.  It changes nothing in their view:  we must have a one-world government and it must have far-reaching power over industry, the private sector and the citizenry.  Individual freedom, capitalism and prosperity all must be sacrificed to save the world from the impending doom of man-made global warming.  Whether the impending doom actually exists or not is irrelevant.  It is the goal that is important; AGW is just the latest excuse.

Obama's Global-Warming Power Grab Riles Texas

Many have long warned that the Global Warming hoax is a major federal power grab in disguise.  Obama is now using the EPA to create new law without the bother of a Congressional vote.  Texas in particular is affected.  Peggy Venable in the Washington Times says that Texas will fight:
The state's slogan is "Don't mess with Texas." But the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is doing just that, and at stake is whether the Obama administration can impose its global-warming agenda without a vote of Congress.

President Obama's EPA is already well down the path to regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, something the act was not designed to do. It has a problem, however, because shoehorning greenhouse gases into that 40-year-old law would force churches, schools, warehouses, commercial kitchens and other sources to obtain costly and time-consuming permits. It would grind the economy to a halt, and the likely backlash would doom the whole scheme.

Is the Bad Economy Caused by Global Warming?

Shootout at High Noon: Cameron Throws Down Gun, Skedaddles

James Cameron, the Hollywood film director and maker of the movie "Avatar" has greatly embarrassed himself.

Cameron, an ardent believer in man-made Climate change (aka global warming) wanted to shoot it out with the climate change deniers.  Per Not Evil Just Wrong:
Cameron said he was itching to debate the issue and show skeptical journalists and scientists that they were wrong.

“I want to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads," he said in an interview.
When the boneheads polished up their six shooters and brushed off their ten-gallon hats, Cameron had a change of heart.  He was last seen leaving Dodge City by the back door of the Climate Change Saloon.  His only word in departing was "Mama!"

The blog "Not Evil, Just Wrong" has the story.

Argentina Boils as Global Warming Strengthens Its Fiery Grip

Oh wait a minute, I got that wrong (AGAIN).  Argentina is colder than Antarctica as the coldest weather in 40 years transforms the country into a huge ice cube.  Read about it here.

Meanwhile, a million fish have been boiled to death in Bolivia, creating an unprecedented ecological disaster. (OH WAIT, I misread the article.  Actually, they froze to death.  Dang, I just can't see to get it right.)

Forgive me, I just love to bait the global warming crowd.  The last time I did it, it resulted in a long debate with Sven.  It's so much fun I can't resist.

Okay, just to be fair, Argentina and Bolivia are in winter when we are in summer.  That's because the earth tilts on its axis,  creating summer for the part of earth leaning towards the sun, and winter for the part leaning away.  The positions are reversed later in the year, putting us in winter while South America is back into summer.  Also, as Sven points out, one cold snap doesn't prove a long term trend, and he's right.  However, the winter temperatures in South America are much more severe than usual.  I can't help but feel that we have entered a cooling period.  (I suspect that a lot of folks in Argentina and Bolivia feel the same way.) This is based solely on my personal observations and is quite subjective.  However, such cooling periods are not rare. The last big cooling period was between 1940 and 1970 and lasted 30 years (duh).

I wouldn't mind if I am wrong and next year it's nice and toasty.  Frankly, I'm tired of freezing my tush off.  Is Global Warming real?  One can only hope.

Global Warming Hyperbole: Brian Sussman to the Rescue

I have ordered Brian Sussman's book, "Climategate."  Sussman is a former meteorologist and TV weatherman, now a conservative talk show host for KSFO out of San Francisco.  Sussman is passionate about anthropogenic (man made) global warming.  Passionate in that he believes it is a fraud.

When I read the book I will post my comments about it here.

Watts Up With That posted some of Sussman's commentary on how global temperatures are taken and averaged, and why those temperatures have trended upwards for the past 100 years or so (by a whopping half a degree Fahrenheit!  OMIGOD!), and it isn't due to man made carbon dioxide emissions.  Read about it here.

Yes, Sven, the Earth is COOLING, Not WARMING

A climate change believer named Sven has been arguing with me in my former post about L.A. temperatures being the lowest in years.  He also disputes the fact that the earth is cooling, as it has been for at least eight years.

However, from isthereglobalcooling.com, we find these inconvenient facts:


Quick facts about the US and global climate
U.S. and global Temperatures are cooling
*According to the U.S. National Climate Data Center 2008 temperatures in the USA were below the 115 year average for most of the country link. U.S. 2009 summer temperatures were also very cool, the 34th coolest since 1895.  link
*October 2009 U.S. temperatures according to NOAA were the third coldest in 115 years of record keeping, 4 degrees below the average temperature for this month. link October 2009 also had the most snow in the U.S. than has ever been recorded for that month.
*Germany recorded its lowest October temperature in history link. New Zealand had record low October temperatures and record late snows link China had the worst October snowstorms in recorded history, 40 people died and over 9,000 buildings collapsed link
Siberia may have had its coldest winter in history in 2009-2010 link European and Asian temperatures in the winter 2009-2010 were well below normal link
*According to atmospheric temperature measurement by the UAH global temperatures were only .28 deg. C over the 30 year mean for December 2009  link
*November's U.S. temperatures warmed quite a bit but December's were very cold, -3.2 degrees F below the average, the 14th coldest in 115 years of record keeping linklinkDecember had the most snow ever recorded for that month in the U.S. and second most in the northern hemisphere. link October to January temps are well below normal linkAccording to the NCDC U.S. temperatures in October 2009 was on average the third coldest in 116 years, November was the 4th coldest, and February 2010 was the 29th coldest. U.S. temperatures December '09 - February '10 were well below normal link. UK experiences coldest May temps in 15 years link U.S. temps Nov '09 to May '10 remain mostly below normal link , October '09 through March '10 was the snowiest on record in the northern hemisphere link
*NASA GISS announced that 2008 global surface temperatures were cooler than 2007, the coolest since 2000 and below the average of the last 30 years.       
*temperatures that were once rising are now falling according to the NOA link, 1998 was a warm year but the eleven years since have each been cooler, global temperatures have dropped an average of .6 degrees C in this period (according to UAH) link. Three agencies responsible for tracking global climate show atmospheric temperatures are cooler since 2002 link
*In the U.S. temperatures cooled in five of the last seven decades even though CO2 levels increased steadily throughout this period.  link
*In February 2010 the Northern Hemisphere had the second largest area of snow coverage ever recorded link and North America had the most snow cover ever recorded. Snow coverage in the Northern hemisphere has been growing since 1998 link.  Snow in areas where it usually does not snow can only be because temperatures are colder, and not from global warming link The additional snow was not because of higher levels of humidity, according to NCDC February '10 was the 47th driest in 116 years.
July 2010, South America experiences historic cold weather  link
Record Summer 2010 cold in Australia link
Cold weather kills 600 rare Penguins in South Africa link
In spite of all the hot weather of late, according to NOAA 62% of the continental U.S. had below normal temperatures January-July 2010 link
         Total global polar sea ice extent is largely unchanged over the past 30 years
*When adding the sea ice volumes at both poles there is about the same ice as 30 years ago link. Antarctica has 90% of the world's ice and had the most sea ice ever recorded at the end of 2008, over one million square kilometers above the average maximum.  The global sea ice extent today (combined sea ice at both Poles) is nearly the same as the average of the last 30 years according to NASA and NSIDC link link View today's Antarctic sea ice extent compared to the 1979-2007 average (National Snow and Ice Data Center)link link  While it is true Arctic sea ice volumes have been overall slightly less today than the average of the last 30 years the ice there has been growing the past several years and as of mid September 2009 there was 24% more ice than just two years earlier, which is over 1 million square kilometers of new ice since 2007. There is also substantially more multi year ice in the Arctic in 2009 than just one year earlier link Antarctic sea ice extent in September 2009 is also growing and is 1 million square kilometers more than the previous year. In 2009 the Antarctic had the most Summer ice ever recorded link. The 2010 Arctic sea ice melt has started later than at any time ever recorded. Arctic ice volumes in April 2010 are the largest in nine years and are now close to the average of the last 30. link.View today's Arctic sea ice extent,  AMSR-E link  NSIDC link (Nansen) link DMI link
The Arctic sea ice in early June 2010 is considerably thicker than either of the prior two years, and is further indication that conditions there favor ice formation link
See current ice conditions in the Northern Hemisphere link and the Southern Hemispherelink
The Arctic ice concentration (total density) in early July 2010 is the highest in satellite history link
                                          Ocean temperatures are cooling
*NSIDC/NASA AMSR-E also shows that the overall trend of ocean temperatures since 2002 is one of cooling in spite of a recent short lived El Nino warming event link
The oceans have been cooling which is contrary to climate model predictions link See how Argo is measuring ocean temperatures throughout the globe link  Argo research (with its 3,300 ocean buoys) has found ocean temperatures are cooler. link  link
The PDO (Pacific) is moving towards a cool period (La Nina). See current ocean surface temperatures from the NOAA link 
                      There are fewer violent storms. Storm intensity is in decline
*Violent tornadoes are in decline in the US link. The global death rate from extreme events are in decline link. US landfall hurricanes are less numerous and powerful than decades ago link. Global hurricane, typhoon, and cyclone activity are nearing 50 year lows according to Florida State University link link
                                Polar Bear populations are of record size
Some say Polar Bears are threatened but there are more polar bears today than ever recorded, an increase of 300%+  since the 1950s. link  link  The scientific name for Polar bears is Ursus Maritimus, which means sea bear. Polar Bears are excellent swimmers and can swim 200 miles or more link. Polar bears have survived  periods when the Arctic melted completely in the past.
          There is lower Solar activity. This has led to cooler temperatures in the past
So what has changed? CO2 concentrations continue to increase yet temperatures have been falling since 2002? Polar ice is growing. Storm intensity is in decline.  One reason may be that solar activity is at the lowest level in almost a Century. link link linkSee what the sun looks like with and without sunspots link View today's photo of the sun and note the continued lack of sunspots link In the past periods with fewer sunspots and lower solar activity were ones with cooler temperatures. It is believed by some scientists that lower solar activity increases cloud formation and this has a cooling effect.  If the past is a predictor of the future, these changes in solar activity will cause a 30 year period of cooling temperatures on earth and in fact it appears that this has already begun. See solar activity charts here link
See the combined impact of ocean and solar cycles on global temperatures link
Europe, North America and many other areas of the Earth have recently experienced a score of unusually low temperatures. So where is the global warming that we are  preparing for?
Is a carbon cap and trade system that would raise hundreds of billions of dollars each year for the government necessary if in fact the slightly warmer temperatures of 1978-1998 were caused by natural forces such as the Sun's increased activity in that period, and that many scientists are now becoming skeptical of the theory of man made global warming (AGW)? link  It appears to me that this is looking more and more like the Y2K scare of the late 1990s.
If you have doubts about the conventional beliefs of global warming and want to learn more please do read on.

Global Warming Kills 9 in Argentina

No, wait a minute, the 9 victims froze to death!

Didn't I recently read in the news that 2010 is the "hottest year on record"?  Yes, I believe I did.

Liberals continue to lie about climate change.
