A WSDOT traffic camera captured the mayhem just east of Seattle yesterday afternoon.
This has been the weirdest Spring, ever.
Hackers broke into the electronic files of one of the world’s foremost climate research centers this week and posted an array of e-mails in which prominent scientists engaged in a blunt discussion of global warming research and disparaged climate-change skeptics.
[...]
In one e-mail from 1999, the center’s director, Phil Jones, alludes to one of Mann’s articles in the journal Nature and writes, “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e., from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”
Yours truly got a shout out by Jasper native and daily blogger at NRO Planet Gore yesterday. Quite the interesting article from The Seattle Times.
When the über-liberal BBC abandons a cause, know you should check your six:
This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.
But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.
File this one under headlines that write themselves: Global Warming Protest Frozen Out by Massive Snowfall
So… things are bad in Seattle. Heavy snowfall has turned into packed ice, and the packed ice has stuck around for the last 5 days. Why? Environmentalists and their awesome studies (some of the same researchers who work on global warming studies) claim that spreading salt on the road to combat the ice is bad for the environment, opting to spread sand instead.
Turns out… that may not be the case. Oopsie.
The snowplowers themselves have been preaching this forever… but those lowly plowers don’t have the stuffy degrees from universities that the rest of us have on our walls.
Thanks treehuggers. I had to use chains two days last week and my wife slid down a hill in her auto because your “liberal insight” somehow trumps common knowledge.
PS- How’s that Barack fellow working out for you thus far?
First October snow since 1922 blankets London as global warming bill is debated.
Switzerland sees most snow for October since records began.
Record cold in the South.

Blog reader Drew Thornley had 3 posts yesterday on Planet Gore. Don’t know what Planet Gore is? You silly goose.
You know these UDub scientists weren’t happy with their fidnings:
- Despite previous studies suggesting a warmer climate is already taking a bite out of Washington’s snowpack, there’s no clear evidence that human-induced climate change has caused a drop in 20th century snow levels, according to a controversial new study by University of Washington scientists.
So… if global warming causes hurricanes, and hurricanes give life, isn’t global warming kinda good?
I’m confused, Al. I need a study guide.
- Hurricane Dolly may have shrunk Gulf ‘dead zone’
The oxygen-starved “dead zone” that forms every summer in the Gulf of Mexico is a bit smaller than predicted this year because Hurricane Dolly stirred up the water, a scientist reported Monday.
There is too little oxygen to support sea life for about 8,000 square miles — just under the record of 8,006 square miles recorded in 2001, said Nancy Rabalais, head of the head of the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium.
Blog reader and energy expert, Drew Thornley had his quotes as the centerpiece of an article at the top of the Drudge Report yesterday.
