"The Climate Reality Project brought its 'I’m Too Hot' trucks and offers of free ice cream to this week’s Environmental Protection Agency hearings on power-plant emissions..."

"... when the hearings began at 9 a.m. Wednesday in Denver, the temperature was a chilly 58 degrees. Plus, it was raining."

Interesting that this group — founded by Al Gore — is making a show of driving trucks long distances.

Charlie म्हणाले...: "….as a solution for hot weather". Government can barely fill a pothole, so I doubt they're going to find a "solution" for hot weather, even if such a thing was desirable.; १/८/१४, ८:३३ AM

I am gettin so hot in herre,
I wanna take my clothes off (OH!)

Thorley Winston म्हणाले...: I’m rather surprised at the story. Not that leftists would engage in a silly stunt that undermines their very message but because they brought ice cream instead of frozen yogurt.; १/८/१४, ९:२१ AM
phantommut म्हणाले...: I have a friend who's a mid-sized fish in the AGW ecosystem who recently posted a graphic of global temperatures for May of this year, claiming it showed that the month was the warmest on record.

The whole globe showed greater-than-normal averages, except for Western Europe and the continental United States.

Because I want to stay friends with him, I didn't point out that higher temps were in the exact areas where independent data (not collected and published by AGW proponents) was readily available for analysis.

Yes, the climate is changing. Has been for 4 billion years. When the models can accurately predict what's going to happen five years from now I'll believe the scientists are actually doing science. Until then they're just scratching the eschatological itch.; १/८/१४, ९:२६ AM
Birkel म्हणाले...: In a world where interesting equals predictable, sure.; १/८/१४, ९:२८ AM
damikesc म्हणाले...: I also love how they say that lower temperatures in areas doesn't disprove global warming/climate change.

Hey, fellas, YOU called it GLOBAL, not LOCAL climate change.; १/८/१४, ९:४० AM
Xmas म्हणाले...: "Most of the warming we have seen over the last 50 years has manifested itself as higher nighttime lows and higher winter temperatures. Both of these raise the average, but neither will change Goddard’s metric of days above 90F."

Al Gore and his followers don't even know the war they're fighting.; १/८/१४, ९:४८ AM
Matt म्हणाले...: I can't think of anyone who has done more to hurt the cause of global warming than Al Gore. He changed it from a moral issue to political theater. His lack of credibility with half of the voters in this country makes every public pronouncement about global warming suspect as either a Democratic political ploy or a way for people like Mr. Gore to make money. What's the opposite of a statesman?; १/८/१४, ९:५५ AM
Nonapod म्हणाले...: I just wish there was more honesty and objectivity within the climate science community. You know... being actual scientists rather than grant chasing sycophants driven by political agendas and/or personal biases who massage data and underreport or suppress data that contravenes their personal viewpoints.; १/८/१४, ९:५६ AM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: I've been an atheist for some time now, but I have to agree with phantummut. There really is a God; she has a remarkable sense of humor; and she's trying really, really hard to send us an important message.; १/८/१४, ९:५८ AM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: Anyway I had wondered why were having such unusually cold temperatures here in the Washington metropolitan area. This explains everything. It's the Al Gore effect, baby!; १/८/१४, १०:०१ AM
cubanbob म्हणाले...: Thank God for climate change. Can you imagine what it would be like if the climate was static?; १/८/१४, १०:०८ AM
Sam L. म्हणाले...: Yes, their imaginations have almost no contact with reality; and when there is, they deny it.; १/८/१४, १०:१२ AM
phantommut म्हणाले...: Local, global, whatever. I thought we'd have gondolas in Lower Manhattan by now.; १/८/१४, १०:२१ AM
MountainMan म्हणाले...: One thing you can always be sure of: If the title includes the word "reality" there is probably nothing about it that involves reality. I am a full-fledged AGW denier and proud of it. If you go look at the last 12,000 years or so, since the end of the last ice age, there is no AGW (Anthony Watts has the graphs on his blog). In the period which we are living now - known as the holocene inter-glacial - there have been wide swings in global temperatures since the end of the ice age, especially the Minoan Warm Period, the Roman Warm Period, and the Medieval Warm Period. The average global temperature for the last 150 years or so is well below the average for the holocene period, even considering the end of the Little Ice Age. It will have to get much warmer to get back to any of the earlier warm periods, when the global population was just a fraction of what it is today and man's impact on the environment much smaller. No model is capable of predicting future temperature; they can't even predict today's temperatures based on history. One day the holocene will come to an end and the next ice age will begin. And Althouse's beloved Madison will again be crushed beneath a sheet of ice a half-mile or so thick. But at least, when it ends, it will leave some more nice lakes behind.; १/८/१४, १०:३३ AM
Sal म्हणाले...: “a rallying point for action in the face of rising temperatures driven by climate disruption”

Ok, the climate has been changing for 4 billion years, but has it been disrupting? I don't think this is last we'll hear of "climate disruption."; १/८/१४, १०:३७ AM
Doug म्हणाले...: What Nonapod said at 9:56!; १/८/१४, १०:५० AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: If GW was true, the people running the "Climate Science" field would be acting like scientists, not political whores.

When a competitor asks a scientist for the data and methods behind a published paper, the scientist turns it all over, with any instructions needed to replicate the scientist's published results.

Climate "scientists" don't do that. The only reasonable supposition is that their work is fraudulent.; १/८/१४, १०:५० AM
tim maguire म्हणाले...: Not that interesting. This type of do-gooder hypocrisy is far too common to be interesting.; १/८/१४, १०:५५ AM
John henry म्हणाले...: I do well by doing good

Or at least I do really well financially by pretending to do good. All the same thing, right?

-Al Gore

अनामित म्हणाले...: I should let Gore use my indices of warming: First is my, date the flannel sheets came off the bed, which this year was the last week of May. Second is my date the ACs were installed in the windows, which was the first week of July. Both those dates were records for cooling, not warming, here on the Atlantic coast of Mass.

AGW is a pure and simple cash grab by governments and academics world wide.; १/८/१४, ११:३७ AM

What is that like do you suppose?
All of a sudden, for no reason, the skies are a uniform grey and it's sixty-eight degrees with no wind and no humidity. And then all of a sudden it's again partly sunny with a light breeze and 70% humidity.
