The bulk of the Cisneros article relies on computergenerated climate and economic predictions. A good scare story might benefit insurers by justifying higher insurance premiums. However, the track-record for long term climate change computer modeling is a failure. | 5_1 |
When you divide the NODC OHC data (0-700m) into logical subsets, David, its very easy to illustrate the natural causes for the warming of ocean heat content. Are you aware that without the natural warming associated with the 1973-76 and 1995/96 La Nina events, tropical Pacific OHC cools, David?: | 2_1 |

The Presidential Inaugural Committee is effectively an extension of Obama's campaign.

Global warming took a vacation last year and there was more than a foot of snow on the ground. As we motored up the highway the thermometer registered a balmy 35 degrees, but the radio said a cold front was moving in. Our final destination was an open log shelter a mile up the mountain. | 1_3 |
It's tempting to step back from the fight and take a victory lap or two.

When all is said and done, they report that their results "show no significant trend in potential intensity from 1980 to 1995 and no consistent trend from 1975 to 1995."

As for the supposedly "extreme" weather year of 2012, things were also not as they appeared.
