| Ice around the South Pole has expanded to cover a record area, scientists revealed yesterday--a month after saying that the North Pole had lost an unprecedented amount of its ice. Researchers say--rather confusingly--that both occurrences are down to the ‘complex and surprising’ effects of global warming. The record Antarctic sea ice cover was revealed in satellite images from the US National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado. At the end of the southern winter in September, ice covered 7.51million square miles of sea--more than at any time since records began in 1979. For the last 30 years the

But cooler temperatures and more ice are actually a sign of global warming. So are higher temperatures and vanishing ice. Everything is a sign of global warming.
If you're confused, don't worry -- just hand your money and power over to the government and let the experts take care of everything.

You have to understand that Global Warming will cause the average global temperature to go down, or up, or stay the same, for long or short periods of time. That should pretty much cover all bases.

Fall is here, winter is approaching. It is time for all the global warming idiots to crawl inside their caves an hibernate until late spring, whereupon they will emerge from their slumber and comment on what a mild winter it was, regardless of the actuality, and how this proves their global warming theory. As every successive day becomes warmer as summer approaches, their rhetoric becomes more frantic, more insistent, until late august when it will reach a fevered pitch. "The sky is falling". In the coming weeks, as the temperatures gradually decline, so too do their incessant calls for action on global warming, until finally, fall is here...

Well, since there has been no warming for over 15 years it's inaccurate to say global warming has caused much of anything.
I, for one, am extremely glad that climate has changed (and probably will continue to do so) because otherwise my house would be underneath tons of glacial ice. For those who live on or vacation on Long Island, Block Island, Cape Cod, Nomans Land, Martha's Vineyard, or Nantucket you can also be happy the glaciers melted and created these lands in their wake.
Listening to the climate Alarmists has become far more than annoying.

Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, told a Toronto judge that "all of these conclusions" were based on the country´s criminal code, which was "not a holy book". He and co-defendant Raed Jaser, 35, are charged with conspiracy to carry out an attack and kill people. They are accused of plotting to bomb a train between New York and Montreal.

Scientists have described the new bird flu that has killed 22 people in China as one of the most deadly influenza strains as it spreads to Taiwan. The H7N9 flu has infected 108 people in China since it was first detected in March, according to the Geneva-based WHO. Some 6,000 Chinese tourists visit Taiwan every day, putting pressure on Taiwanese authorities to step up their screening at airports to contain the virus. The strain appears to spread more easily to humans than SARS, a virus that caused panic when it started killing people in Asia a decade ago.

One of the Boston bomb suspects was added to a terrorism database 18 months ago at the request of the CIA, officials have told US media. The FBI has already said it investigated Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, but had found no evidence of a threat. Tsarnaev was killed during a police chase last week. His brother Dzhokhar, 19, is in custody over the bombs. Three people were killed and more than 260 wounded when two devices exploded at the Boston Marathon on 15 April. A US politician earlier confirmed the bombs were set off by remote control.

The UK Independence Party and Nigel Farage are a problem for David Cameron--but he should avoid a lurch to the Right. Every so often, Britain is shaken by a new political force that articulates a sense of frustration at the old structures, or a yearning for something new. Sometimes these movements--like the Labour Party at the start of the 20th century--turn into a momentous presence that permanently transforms the national landscape. More usually they wither and fade. To begin with, the political establishment almost always ignores these new movements. This is because they articulate heretical thoughts that cannot be

Spain’s unemployment rate reached a new record of 27.16pc in the first three months of 2013 leaving more than six million out of work in the recession hit country. The number of unemployed climbed by 237,400 people during the first quarter in the eurozone’s fourth-largest economy, according to new data released by Spain’s National Statistics Institute on Thursday. The jobless figure is the highest since Spain’s transition to democracy after the death of dictator Gen Francisco Franco and is expected to worsen before year end. The new figures were worse than predicted by economists.

Lest anybody draw the idiotic conclusion that Britain´s 0.3pc rebound in the first quarter validates "naked" austerity, three quick points. 1) There has not been much austerity in Britain, whatever the Nobel fraternity in the US likes to think. It has been moderate, well-calibrated, at the therapeutic dose of roughly 1pc of GDP a year. The Coalition has retreated in any case. Spending on "Government and other services" added 0.5pc to GDP in Q1 and explains why the UK averted a triple dip. This was old-fashioned fiscal pump-priming. It was a coincidence that this magic spending happened to save

A woman died of cervical cancer after being refused a smear test because she was too young, her husband has claimed. Becky Ryder, who would now be 26, first visited her doctor aged 24, but her requests for the simple cancer test were turned down because she was under the recommended age of 25. Instead she was diagnosed and treated for a completely different complaint. It took 15 months of repeat visits to her GP before she eventually visited another doctor who finally diagnosed her with cancer. And despite months of intensive radiotherapy and chemotherapy and receiving the all-clear, the

Whenever a bomb goes off in America or Britain, some liberals’ first reaction is to wonder whether stupid white people will go crazy and attack Muslims. Even while the dust of said bomb is settling, a certain breed of heartless commentator will shift his attention from those who were hurt in the attack to those who might be driven mad with racially tinged fury upon observing the attack: that is, the allegedly Islamophobic mob, the unenlightened public, for whom every Islamo-bombing is apparently a sign that Muslims are evil and must therefore be shouted at, spat on, and possibly punched.

The BBC reports a survey showing that violent crime has fallen dramatically in the UK in recent years. I must confess that I had never heard of the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), the organisation behind the first UK Peace Index. It appears to be linked to a global religious organisation dedicated to the promotion of world peace, and nothing wrong with that. But the idea that Britain is now what could be called a peaceful society is wishful thinking, though it depends where you start from. For a large part of our history, extreme violence was commonplace; but

The Patrick administration clamped down the lid yesterday on Herald requests for details of Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s government benefits, citing the dead terror mastermind’s right to privacy. Across the board, state agencies flatly refused to provide information about the taxpayer-funded lifestyle for the 26-year-old man and his brother and accused accomplice Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19. On EBT card status or spending, state welfare spokesman Alec Loftus would only say Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his wife and 3-year-old daughter received benefits that ended in 2012. He declined further comment.

Citing administration emails provided to the House committees, the 46-page report claims that “to protect the State Department, the Administration deliberately removed references to al-Qaeda-linked groups and previous attacks

Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism, the Herald has learned. State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter. The state’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services said those benefits ended in 2012 when the couple stopped meeting income eligibility limits. Russell Tsarnaev’s attorney has claimed Katherine — who had converted to Islam —

Tamerlan Tsarnaev is telling no tales. The older of the two brothers who committed the Boston Marathon bombings was likely the one who planned the attack, but when he died in a shootout with police just days after the blasts, his thoughts and motivations vanished with him. But the brain that was home to his angry mind remains, and in this case that may mean something. Tsarnaev was an amateur boxer who won the New England Golden Gloves competition as recently as 2009 and 2010. That speaks to a young man with a healthy sense

In the same place,’” Obama said with a smile. “And we´ll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo.” “And our thinking is that might dissuade them from thinking that that somehow that´s

Since the Boston bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was captured, there’s been quite a debate over his Miranda rights and how to treat him — given that he’s a United States citizen. An Associated Press report out this morning is sure to add fuel to the fire. As soon as he was read his Miranda rights, it says, Tsarnaev stopped talking. The report notes that Tsarnaev was read his rights 16 hours after his interrogation had began. Then, he fell silent: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev immediately stopped talking after a magistrate judge and a representative from the U.S. Attorney’s office entered his

Two unnamed U.S. officials have told the Associated Press that the surviving suspect in the Boston bombings was unarmed when police captured him hiding inside a boat in a neighborhood back yard. The report contradicts the Boston police department´s own account of Dzhokar Tsarnaev´s capture on Friday - after commissioner Ed Davies described a firefight between him and officers before the terror suspect was captured. The New York Times also said an M4 rifle had been found on the boat - another claim contradicted by the latest revelations. Officers had originally said they had exchanged gunfire

Think of it as a horizontal townhouse. Most developers hype the sky-high verticals of their new glitzy buildings, but a new condominium called The Whitman — soon to be home to former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton - has a completely different selling point: It features the longest apartments in the city. The four-unit building stretches an entire block between E. 26th and E. 27th Sts. It takes almost 30 second to walk the approximate 250-foot central corridor.
