Looking at the Wx forecast, I'm thinking this afternoon (cold later today and tomorrow) would be a good time to announce, else late Sat p.m. (rain).:

Right there with you Dr. Steve..Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it or History does not repeat itself but it often rhymes...take your pick

What the true believers forget is that warmer temperatures equal warmer ocean temperatures equals rain in regions that have not seen rain in eons. Every desert in the world is fronted by a deep water cold water ocean current. Warm that water and you will get rain and tillable land for agriculture. Raise the ocean temperature of the Mediterranean and the Sahara becomes farm land from the resulting rain.
Global warming actually has many more benefits than faults. Global warming would not create deserts and food shortages, it would create warm oceans, higher humidity, rain, and more farm land.
Logic and science have no bearing on what they believe. It causes them pain as it doesn't fit what their prophets have said. I fear it would take repeated usage of a cluebyfour to correct their mindset.

There are two things about all this that I can not get past.
1) There is no way in hell that anyone can produce a truly precise (.01 degrees?) and accurate measurement of the temperatures (what do you mean they built a parking lot around the weather station?) globally for the last 20 years, never mind the last 150.
2) As someone who produced computer models for many years in my job as a software geek I know that the biggest cliche is also the biggest flaw in any model; GIGO. If the data is mistaken, either deliberately or accidentally (see point 1) the model will produce crap. The "crap" may be troublesome or wonderful depending on the perspective of the reporter, but it's still crap.
The whole scandal of the Climategate e-mails from UEA and the ICCC and Al Gore is that the data and algorithms were hidden and modified in such ways that anything coming out of the models was pure fantasy. AND THEY'RE STILL USING THE SAME DATA!!

What's depressing is that Dr Rhodes Fairbridge explained this effect to them twenty years ago, i.e. it's all about solar heat output, and that is driven by orbital dynamics of the major planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus).
They didn't like it then, they don't like it now. It interferes with the gravy train.

I'm cynical. IMO "climate change (formerly "global warming") is just another ginned up junk science, snake oil concept to redistribute the wealth of the U.S. to themselves and other countries. In the 1970s, the bugaboo was "global cooling." It is about time for the left to give up this "sky is falling" BS.
#10
AlanC, besides GIGO, the problem is that the models may be wrong. In any model, you have to make simplifying assumptions. To model something as complicated as the climate, you have to make many simplifying assumptions. The thing is that we don't really know how the climate works. Some of the simplifying assumptions may have excluded the most important things from the real world. So even if the input data were perfect, the output would still be garbage.

I follow the climate debate pretty closely and I don't buy 'the sun did it'.
If you want an explaination of the late 20th century warming, you really have to look no further than the the 1976 introduction of the catalytic converter.
#12
Well phil_b, you would also have to ask why during the Medieval warm period the earth was warmer than it is now and what caused it. Same with the little ice age and what caused it. Also why it was warmer and wetter during the Early Roman period in North Africa and Spain and those areas fed most of Europe with their grain exports.
It certainly wasn't the catalytic converter.
The main point of any Climate Change argument we give is that climate changes. It changed in the past, it is or may be changing now and it will change in the future. Spending government money and giving up our freedoms to battle climate change is a fool's errand since we do now know anything about how the system works. The sun is a major part of the system and watching average temperatures on other planets in our solar system rise and fall almost in sync with Earth's does point to the Sun being part of the problem this time.
#16
I have no doubt that CO2 increases cause global warming. I do doubt that we have a good idea of how much warming is caused - or if it is offset by cooling due to other sources. I also don't know if it's a net positive or negative for the globe. I am quite sure that nothing we can do will stop it - at most we can slow it down (burnable carbon will be burned.) I am also quite sure that much - if not most - of the 'concern' is just lies covering attempts at wealth transfer, globally from rich to poor nations, individually from suckers to con men.
#17
Re #10, FIV you are of course correct, hence my mention of the algorithms.
I looked at some of the climategate models that came out as part of that "hack" of UEA. My Fortran is rusty but there was some funky $hit going on regarding modifying variables from a sequential file with no comments or other documentation about what was going on. It almost looked as simple as gin up a tempreture and if it was too low, go into this table and add it to the variable. I'm over-simplifying a little cause I don't remember the precise code that I saw but it was hinky as all get out.
I have been a professional systems auditor in my past and believe me when I say I know hinky.

In a dream or vision from years back, I seemingly saw myself dipping my hand into normally warm Pacific waters only to suddenly or mysteriously discover it was icy "slushy", + saw "myself"? as a young man [future time]?] riding a Guam Mass Transit Authority [GMTA]Bus-Shuttle through similarly icy slushy Agana, Guam streets.
At the time, GWCC includ effect on Asia-Pacific had never been brought up in the MSM [no Net either]. No GMTA either until the idea or concept was brought up in local medias in the late 1970's.
As Solar changes continue, I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT ANY SO-CALLED "ICE AGE/MINI-ICE AGE" WILL BE SUCH - MORE LIKE THE "GREAT ASIA-PACIFIC/GUAM SLUSHY".
I could still be wrong, of course, but I don't see anything on the MSM-Net thus far that says I am, or that my dreams or visions are incorrect.
D *** NG IT, BEFORE THE GREAT SLUSHY THERE WAS AL GORE + M16, "JFK", + TEXAS-SIZED ASTEROIDS, + BEFORE THAT THERE WAS MADONNA!
[ARABNEWS] A surgeon from Sierra Leone being treated for Ebola in a Nebraska hospital on Saturday was critically ill after being airlifted back from Africa, medical officials said.
Dr. Martin Salia, 44, a permanent US resident, caught the disease while working as a surgeon in a Freetown hospital, according to his family.
Doctors at the Nebraska hospital said his condition was extremely critical. He had been stable enough to take a flight from West Africa to Omaha but was too sick to walk off the plane, medical officials said.

Interesting that his initial test for Ebola when he first got sick came back negative. We try to run our modern world strictly by the numbers. Unfortunately, biological systems show a lot of variability. There is always something going on out at the tail end of a probability distribution.
Parenthetically, "by the numbers" also yields perverse results when it is easier to cook the numbers than to fix the problem being measured. The recent Veterans Administration scandal is only one example.
[Rooters] - A cruise ship with 172 passengers and crew members suffering from a gastrointestinal ailment caused by norovirus was met by public health officials when it docked in California on Sunday, authorities and Carnival Corp said.
The outbreak marks the second time in less than a year that the highly contagious virus has spread on the company's Crown Princess ship, which is part of its Princess Cruises fleet. On the latest trip, the ship carried more than 4,100 people on a cruise that departed nearly a month ago from Los Angeles and included stops in Hawaii and Tahiti. Nothing says viral pathogen factory like 4000 people on a cruise ship.

[ARABNEWS] Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... on Sunday scrambled to pick an interim president ahead of an African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... sanctions deadline after the army seized power following the ouster of longtime ruler Blaise Compaore.
Four candidates ranging from a crusading journalist to a former top diplomat emerged on the short list after tangled negotiations between the army, political parties and civil society groups in the West African nation.
Initially Paul Ouedraogo, the archbishop of the southern Bobo-Dioulasso diocese, appeared to be a frontrunner despite his reluctance but the church later announced "categorically" that he was not in the race.
The archbishop had himself told French radio last week: "The holy man doesn't engage in this kind of power." On Sunday, a front man for the Catholic church "categorically" said "there will be no archbishop among the candidates." The choices being mulled on Sunday ranged from journalist Cherif Sy, who founded a weekly that had been bitingly critical of Compaore, former television presenter and journalist Newton Ahmed Barry, former top diplomat Michel Kafando and sociologist and ex-minister Josephine Ouedraogo.

Burkina Faso officials signed a charter on Sunday intended to guide the country toward elections as various factions submitted nominations for an interim head of state to replace longtime President Blaise Compaore, who abruptly stepped down last month.
The signing ceremony took place at the House of the People in the capital, Ouagadougou. Politicians and representatives of the army, civil society and religious and traditional leaders all participated.
An interim president was expected to be confirmed on Monday, while a new prime minister was expected to be appointed by Wednesday.
Compaore, who served 27 years in office, resigned on October 31 amid mounting opposition to his bid to seek yet another term, fleeing to Yamoussoukro, the political capital of neighbouring Ivory Coast. He never identified a potential successor and his departure created a power vacuum in which at least three people tried to assume control of the country in the space of a week.
After suspending the constitution, the military designated Lt. Col. Isaac Yacouba Zida as the transitional leader, though Zida faced intense pressure to restore civilian rule. On Saturday, Zida announced through a spokesman that the constitution had been restored.
"There will be a 'before October 30' and an 'after October 30' in Burkina," Zida said at the signing ceremony on Sunday, referring to the day that anti-Compaore demonstrations escalated dramatically, with protesters setting the parliament building ablaze.
"The insistence and the political myopia of the constitutional revision shook us," Zida added. Condemning what he described as Compaore's abuse of authority, he said the ex-president brought about his own exit by trying to change the constitution so he could run again.
Under the charter signed on Sunday, a 90-member transition council will serve as the country's parliament, while the prime minister will head a 25-member government. The interim president and ministers in the transitional government will be barred from standing in elections expected to be held a year from now.

[ARABNEWS] Jeddah's streets have become some of the most dangerous in the Kingdom with open manholes and sewage drains posing a serious risk to pedestrians and motorists.
In a tragic incident, Abdullah Al-Zahrani, a student of Said Bin Gubair high school in Kilo 11 tripped and fell into an open drain on Sunday while out walking with his friends in the east of Jeddah. His friends tried to rescue him but when all efforts failed, they called the Civil Defense. Civil Defense officers pulled out Al-Zahrani's body. The Civil Defense did not release an official statement until late Sunday evening.
The director of the Education Department, Abdullah Al-Thaqafi, as well as the director of the East Jeddah office and head of security and safety in the Education Department visited at the scene of the tragedy.
Over a month ago, a father and his son died in a similar accident on Tahliya Street. The father tried to rescue his five-year-old-child who had fallen into a sewage tank. A Civil Defense officer held on to the man for some time before his grip loosened, plunging the father and son to death. The accident happened on Oct. 9.

Happens around here too. When it rains hard sometimes the drains back up and push the manhole covers off, and people wading through the flooded streets fall into the holes and drown. Doesn't strike me that Jeddah has quite the same excuse.
#3
Back in '79 I was doing some drainage work in Columbus, Georgia. We had to wait to install the manhole covers until just a few hours before the city inspectors showed up because if we did it any sooner they would all be stolen and sold for scrap.

Glenmore,
Well, FWIW, I was a proud survivor of what was called the 'Spring Break Rotation' for Operation Southern Watch (Jan-Jun '95). Hail and torrential rains in central Saudi Arabia...for nearly a WEEK. Literally could not get up to al-Kharj from Riyadh, even if we'd had to. If Saddam had decided to invade that week, we'd have been screwed.

Wow, Mike. You were there for the whole decade's rain. In one week.
[TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... is set to leave the G20 summit early after a tense meeting with David Cameron ... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ... over Moscow's actions in Ukraine.
The Russian president is reportedly planning to leave the summit early on Sunday and miss its official lunch in response to repeated criticism from western leaders.
The move comes after Tony Abbott, the Australian Prime Minister, threatened to "shirt front" Mr Putin - a form of physical confrontation. Stephen Harper, the Canadian Prime Minister, told Mr Putin: "I guess I'll shake your hand, but I'll only have one thing to say to you - get out of the Ukraine."
Mr Cameron told Mr Putin that he is at a "crossroads" and could face further sanctions after the pair held "robust" discussions on Ukraine.
During a tense 50 minute meeting Mr Cameron warned that Russia is risking its relations with the West and must end its support for Russian separatists.
Mr Putin denied that Russian troops have entered Ukraine and claimed that he is prepared to accept a ceasefire and stop the flow of Russian weapons across the border. He also said that he is prepared to recognise Ukraine as a "single political space".
Mr Cameron is said to be "realistic" about Mr Putin's comments after he previously broke pledges to end Russian action in Ukraine.
The meeting at the G20 summit in Brisbane, Australia, follows a tense build up in which Mr Cameron compared Russia to Nazi Germany.
Tensions escalated further when Russia stationed a fleet of warships off the coast of Australia in an apparent show of strength ahead of the summit.
In interviews hours before the meeting, Mr Cameron suggested that he cannot trust Mr Putin and described Russia's decision to send a fleet of warships to Australia as "international machismo".
Asked if he trusts Mr Putin, the Prime Minister told ITV News: "I take people as I find them. The sad thing is that to date undertakings given in the Minsk agreement have not been followed but the right thing to do is to continue to engage.
"So far we haven't seen his actions follow up the statements that he's given on previous occasions.
"The point is and the reason for meeting is that this issue matters and it's very important Russia understands what's at stake and gets a very clear message.

Nobody really wanted to have lunch with the sob anyway. Good riddance.

I think they might have hurt his feelings. I gotta wonder, though, what in the hell did he think he was going to accomplish with those warships off the coast of Australia?
Tens of thousands of Georgians have rallied in the capital Tbilisi against a planned agreement between Russia and Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia region. The deal would create joint Russian and Abkhazian military forces.
Saturday's protest was organised by Georgia's main opposition party, the United National Movement. Demonstrators, who believe Russia is taking steps to annex Abkhazia, carried Georgian and EU flags and chanted "stop Russia" and "stop Putin". Others waved Ukraine flags, a reminder of Russia's decision to takeover Crimea and support separatist rebels in Ukraine's east.
Sure, protest, for all the good it will do...
"We have to raise our voice by saying that today, together with Ukraine, Russia is annexing Abkhazia and South Ossetia," said Georgian MP David Bakradze. "And our international partners, the whole world has to defend international law here in Georgia, not only in Ukraine."
Russia recognised Abkhazia's independence after a five-day war with Georgia in 2008 when it helped the separatist region of South Ossetia breakaway from Georgia.

[Al Ahram] Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko claimed his country was "prepared for total war" as fighting continued Sunday around the rebel stronghold of Donetsk.
After a week in which Kiev said several unmarked armoured convoys of troops crossed the Russian border to reinforce rebels in the east, Poroshenko toughened his rhetoric, telling the German daily Bild: "I am not afraid of a war with Russian troops."
"We are prepared for a scenario of total war... We don't want war, we want peace and we are fighting for European values. But Russia does not respect any agreement," he said in an interview to be published Monday.
He said Kiev was now better prepared to face a rumoured rebel offensive.
"Our army is now in a better state than it was five months ago and we are being supported by the entire world," he told the paper.

This is so pointless. Poroshenko has no cards in his hand worth playing, and neither does the EU. All Putin has to do is turn off the gas and oil and they're done. Obama wouldn't do anything if Putin invaded Nebraska, so the whole thing is just a farce, posturing for the voters back home to 'look tough'. Kabuki theatre through and through.
#5
When Poroshenko says he's ready for total war, he means he's ready to break up pieces of Chernobyl and drop it on the Russians. Nothing else would make much of an impression, but dumping several tons of rubble from Chernobyl on Rostov would give Russia some severe heartburn.

And in other news,..., the US is promising video of the Kazakhstan launch, Sunday.
Wonder what that cost, in bodies.

If Putin turns off the gas, the only bad thing that happens to him is that he delays monetizing some of his vast reserves of oil and gas.
But what happens to Eastern Europe? Power plants start shutting down. Factories start closing down due to lack of electric power, people get sent home from work to sit in houses without lights and heat. People start dying from exposure sitting in their homes. How long does that last until power riots break out?
The whole theory that turning off the gas will hurt Putin worse than it will hurt Europe sounds like Europe whistling in the dark. Fantasy land.

There are interesting parallels to the presidential election in Slovakia in March.
This includes the surprisingly clear defeat of the favorite by an outsider.
My theory is that the elephant in the room is Putin and the voters made sure not to vote for the guy who's most likely to turn into their country's Yanukovich and end the quarter century experiment with Western Democracy.
According to the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has appeared frequently in St. Louis with the Brown family and delivered a speech at Mr. Brown’s funeral, Mr. Obama 'was concerned about Ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating. He said he hopes that we’re doing all we can to keep peace.'

Our Community Organizer-in-Chief is still stirring up social unrest?
IMO that "O" and Holder regret having missed the civil rights movement of the 60s and therefore are trying hard to recreate that era--stirring up trouble and creating crises where none exists. No matter that history has moved on and conditions have changed and improved significantly since that time. That puts them in the camp of race baiters and hustlers like the Reverends.

Stay on course means big riots, police respond, Holder screams police racist, Obama calls it a state of emergency, DHS police take over. Let the lynching of everything white begin.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard in advance of a grand jury decision about whether a white police officer will be charged in the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.
Nixon said Monday that the National Guard would assist state and local police as needed, in case there is civil unrest when the grand jury's decision is announced.
There was no indication an announcement is imminent. There is no specific date for a decision to be revealed about whether Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson should face charges for shooting Michael Brown on Aug. 9. The St. Louis County prosecutor has said he expects the grand jury to reach a decision in mid-to-late November.
[Ynet] More than 250,000 Moslem and Arab visitors from countries which have no diplomatic relations with Israel have arrived in Jewish state since 2009.
Truly we live interesting times.
The warming relations between Israel and the moderate Moslem world on the backdrop of the crisis with Iran and the global jihad threat can be felt in the tourism industry as well.
The past six years have seen a dramatic rise in the number of tourists arriving in Israel from Islamic and Arab states which have no diplomatic ties with the Jewish state.
Since 2009, more than 250,000 Moslem and Arab tourists have visited Israel secretly. Almost all of them arrived in the country for religious reasons, but some also for business and shopping.
Some 124,000 tourists came from Indonesia, 81,000 from Jordan, 23,483 from Malaysia, 38 from Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , 168 from the United Arab Emirates and 147 from Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... and Oman.
Israel has avoided publishing these figures so as not to affect the positive trend. Every visa permit for a tourist from these countries is examined by the Shin Bet before being approved by the Foreign Ministry and the Population and Immigration Authority.
An updated report of the Population and Immigration Authority obtained by Yedioth Ahronoth summarizes the number of tourists who have arrived in Israel from 10 Arab and Moslem countries, only two of which (Jordan and Egypt) have diplomatic relations with the Jewish state.
The highest number of tourists arrived from Indonesia ‐ 124,719 visitors in the past six years. The year 2013 saw the arrival of 29,517 tourists from Indonesia, more than three times the number of tourists who arrived from that country in 2009 (9,442).
A total of 23,483 tourists arrived from Malaysia in the past six years. While only 584 arrived in 2009, the number of arrivals from Malaysia jumped to 7,859 in 2013.
The past six years saw the arrival of 168 tourists from the UAE, 38 from Saudi Arabia, 200 from Kuwait, 73 from Qatar (which is known for its support of Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,) and 73 from Oman.
Some 6,440 tourists arrived in Israel from Morocco in the past six years. A total of 2,239 Moroccan tourists have arrived since the beginning of 2014, compared to only 658 in 2009.
The number of tourists from Jordan has nearly doubled since 2009 with 81,575 Jordanian tourists in the past six years. A total of 13,333 tourists arrived from Egypt, including 4,368 since the beginning of 2014 (compared to only 1,018 in 2009).
Kuwait announced last month that it would allow its citizens to visit Israel and the Paleostinian Authority as part of a tour package with the government's approval. Tourists will fly from Kuwait to Amman, Jordan, and travel to Jerusalem on buses. They will stay in hotels in East Jerusalem, pray at the Temple Mount and shop in Jerusalem and in the Paleostinian Authority.
The Kuwaiti foreign minister launched the trips to Israel with a visit to the Temple Mount, which he held in coordination with Israel. Kuwaiti officials stressed that their citizens' visits do not indicate in any way that they are recognizing the State of Israel. The added that the Kuwaiti tourists were expressing their support for the Paleostinian people during their visits.
It should be noted that if tourists from these countries ask not to have their passports stamped upon entering or exiting Israel so as not to get in trouble when they enter Arab countries, the state agrees.
The Arab and Moslem tourists arrive in Israel both through Ben-Gurion Airport and through the border crossings with Jordan.
