White House: "Weather practically everywhere is being caused by climate change"
So Obama went to California to talk drought and climate change. He brought some cash with him to help the state cope with the water shortage. The Prez is right to be worried about this drought, after all, Cali is 15% of the US economy. The only question is how big the hit to CA/US GDP is going to be.
The President's new plan is have the Ag department come up with $100 million for cattle farmers. There is also $5m for communities that are literally running out of water. So it's 20 to 1 in favor of the cattlemen. Great plan...
As Obama headed west, the White House's Science Assistant, John Holdren, had this to say about the California drought:
"Weather practically everywhere is being caused by climate change"
Really? It's all climate change?
There are many forces that shape weather patterns. One of the most significant is the El Nino/ La Nina cycles. this is what NOAA has to say about the connection between El Nino and rainfall in the South West:
El Niño results in increased precipitation across California and the southern tier of states
The California drought has persisted for the past three years. It's no coincidence that there have been no El Nino conditions during this time period:
The WH has a climate agenda - this is payback for a lot of support (money). Okay, but when the chief scientist at the WH ignores the scientists who actually look at weather patterns, then one is forced to doubt everything the WH says on the topic.
Misdirection By Holdren???

OBAMA TEES OFF ON ORACLE FOUNDER'S PRIVATE GOLF COURSE
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/02/16/Obama-tees-off-on-Ora...
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — President Barack Obama is teeing off on a private California golf course owned by supporter Larry Ellison, the billionaire co-founder of the Oracle software company.
Ellison ranks third on Forbes' annual list of the 400 richest Americans, with an estimated $41 billion fortune.
His 249-acre desert property in Rancho Mirage came with a 19-hole private golf course. The extra hole is available for playoffs.
The White House says Obama's foursome includes childhood friends Bobby Titcomb, Greg Orme and Michael Ramos.
Obama was spending the weekend in California after meeting Friday at a resort with Jordan's king. His wife and daughters are skiing in Colorado.
The president was returning to the White House on Monday. On Tuesday, he planned to discuss the economy in the Washington area.

Now how much water does that golf course use?
Lysenko science marches on and on...
I am somewhat dismayed by the bias of this article.
California's agriculture is far more about crops than it is about cattle.
Perhaps the writer is confused about which state he is in? Oh yeah! HE is in a state of confusion.
Again, can't writers and pundits stick to the truth so we can actually resolve issues?
I always see this crap come from both sides of any argument. Honest mature discussion rather than hype pumping rhetoric would work so much better.
Climate change is a natural phenomenom. The Earth's climate is not nor has it ever been static. The real scam is to associate climate change with anthropological global warming, which is estimated to be between 0.6 and 3.6 degress celcius per century. A chang in temperature of 0.006 and 0.036 degrees per year is too small to be measured accurately, and is swamped by natural variation. Just another scam to raise taxes and pass the proceeds on to cronies and bundlers.
In Indonesia, Kerry blasts climate change deniers
http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/In_Indonesia__Kerry_blasts_climate_ch...
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Climate change may be the world’s “most fearsome” weapon of mass destruction and urgent global action is needed to combat it, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday, comparing those who deny its existence or question its causes to people who insist the Earth is flat.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, right, waves to the press after meeting with Secretary-General of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Le Luong Minh , left, at the ASEAN headquarters in Jakarta, Indonesia on Sunday.
In a speech to Indonesian students, civic leaders and government officials in Jakarta, Kerry laid into climate change skeptics, accusing them of using shoddy science and scientists to delay measures needed to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases at the risk of imperiling the planet. He also went after those who dispute who is responsible for such emissions, arguing that everyone and every country must take responsibility and act immediately.
“We simply don’t have time to let a few loud interest groups hijack the climate conversation,” he said, referring to what he called “big companies” that “don’t want to change and spend a lot of money” to act to reduce the risks. He later singled out big oil and coal concerns as the primary offenders.
“We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts,” Kerry told the audience gathered at a U.S. Embassy-run American Center in a Jakarta shopping mall. “Nor should we allow any room for those who think that the costs associated with doing the right thing outweigh the benefits.”
“The science is unequivocal, and those who refuse to believe it are simply burying their heads in the sand,” Kerry said. “We don’t have time for a meeting anywhere of the Flat Earth Society,”

The level of total lies is incredible, and the only ones who promote it are Fascists in leadership across the country, and those who support them financially. It's unbelievable how the liberal press totally supports lying Democrats. It sickens me how lying is completely acceptable to people in power.
Just watch Fox and don't leave your echo chamber if you really feel that way...
The world will go on swimmingly without you....
Oh noes!
A recent paper presented by Dr. Ka-Kit Tung, professor of applied mathematics, University of Washington, finds a remarkable correlation between solar activity [TSI or total solar irradiance] and the longest continuous series of instrumental temperature measurements in the world, the Central England Temperature [CET] record spanning 350 years since 1659.
http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.ca/2013/05/new-paper-finds-remarkable-corr...
Here is that record. Note that it has been a steady regular and gentle upward slope since 1659. The first chart maps CO2 against it - no correlation.

Here is a more detailed graph.

ANd before Flak gets going - yes, it's just one location on the globe but it is still part of the earth and there should be an impact from global climate change. The local temperature over almost 400 years should be long enough, no?
Yep, here is Tung getting ripped a new one when he tried to rebut criticism...

BTW, you are such a clown that you don't even realize that Tung's work attempts to demonstrate that AGW is slightly less than esimated... He knows damn welll it is a real effect..
Oh, and about all that AGW flooding in the UK..
The real reason for flooding in Somerset Levels? Not global warming – the pump was turned off!For everyone's entertainment, here is something I would like those who would like to see flaks' clothes, designed by Al Gore, to google:

To all concerned. Lest you judge me harshley. I just want to note that I only started calling the Flak a clown after he began swearing at me and engaging in baiting and other low-brow practices. I figured that clown was a better word than troll.
Flak is ZH's Arch-Bishop of the Climate Change cult.
Opposition to dogma is heresy.
These guys are idiots,,,thinking they've mastered the universe. Weather varies, patterns fluctuate - that's normal. There will be occasional extremes - that IS normal. Even so people get a drought or a lot of snow, heat, ice, cold, or hurricanes and want to attribute it all to some massive sweeping long term change. Even if global "normals" change, it takes hundreds or thousands of years to happen. Next these geniuses will spend $3 billion for a study that concludes that traffic lights turn red because a lot of cars line up at intersections!
People like Goldman are behind the push to recognize the weather as something we need to control (which of course is nuts) so they can manipulate new markets, like "carbon credits."
Its always about the money.
So sick of these climate change ASSHATS....
WTF - guys like this are now mainstream?

He hasn't been associated with TWC in years...
And he is demonstrably full of shit in this case...
You are full of crap. I see your comments all over the web and wonder what your real job is.

The 2014 World Press Freedom Index spotlights the negative impact of conflicts on freedom of information and its protagonists. The ranking of some countries has also been affected by a tendency to interpret national security needs in an overly broad and abusive manner to the detriment of the right to inform and be informed. This trend constitutes a growing threat worldwide and is even endangering freedom of information in countries regarded as democracies. Finland tops the index for the fourth year running, closely followed by Netherlands and Norway, like last year. At the other end of the index, the last three positions are again held by Turkmenistan, North Korea and Eritrea, three countries where freedom of information is non-existent. Despite occasional turbulence in the past year, these countries continue to be news and information black holes and living hells for the journalists who inhabit them. This year’s index covers 180 countries, one more than last year. The new entry, Belize, has been assigned an enviable position (29th). Cases of violence against journalists are rare in Belize but there were some problems: defamation suits involving demands for large amounts in damages, national security restrictions on implementation of the Freedom of Information Act and sometimes unfair management of broadcast frequencies.

Is this another AGW related conspiracy theory that you are trying to create?
You definately exposed yourself on this topic Flak...
Flak is a low level employee of Al Gores, he has money to pay for shills, and whitless flak invested heavy in carbon credits exchanges in chicago, which are now BK..his bitterness at lost wealth drives him insane, everywhere he sees the bogey man of carbon dioxide, smirking at him, reminding him of lost treasure,lost power over the common man.nashing of teeth, ash on his head he pushes his bolder of carbon dioxide up the hill, doomed for all eternity to repeat each step as the mountain of evidence turns against him.
He can cheer up.
There's always Bitcoin.

Yet more examples of brilliance on ZH, sixth grade graduate.
QEs contribute at least 0.1c global warming, yes.
Don't lose sight of the first truth. This beast which seeks to defeat us employs confusion as a primary weapon. 'President' obozo is a fraud. We KNOW this. It is a fact. You have the ability to confirm or deny this FACT.
Do so and then reset your reality.
Following the trail of lies is how it works.
To confuse you. To get you lost.
To separate you from the TRUTH.
The Joker said it right when he said that science has as of two to three years ago proved that the PDO (Pacific Decadal Oscillator) is the major determinant of the climate ( after the sun of course). Those weater patterns tend to last for ~ 30 years. So we should be in for at least another 25 years of relatively cold winters. In another 5 years of this, the global warming group will turn into the global cooling group.
It has already started, have you noticed the change in language from "global warming" (an inconvenient fuckup) to "climate change". Global warming may be an issue but not until after the next 50 years of cooling due to low sun spots and activity, and by then I'll be so sick of the cold weather i'll be farming methane.
someone mentioned a MAUNDER MINIMUM
In my best Jon Lovitz voice "Yeah all this cold is being caused by excess heat, yeah that's the ticket".
I know it's hard to understand but give it the old high school dropout try.
"then one is forced to doubt everything the WH says on the topic" ... Don't you mean "on any topic".
When one lies on one topic what keeps him from lying on any (maybe all) topics?
You can quote me on this: "Liars Lie"
Sheyeet, fellas. U cant possibly inferring that the jackass formerly known as obozo would not tell the ttuth to the sheeple. Nah.
We need to ignore the witchcraft coming out of the weather crowd, and depend on the sun gods. It terrible what illiterates are doing to informed discusssion.
Alaskans for global warming. Saw it on a bumper.
Im in Alaska. I have seen the t-shirt: a polar bear sitting under a palm tree with sunglasses suckin on a mai-tai. We had the warmest summer (broke the record at 88 degrees in Seward in June) and the warmest winter since I have lived here in 14 years. The locals have no complaints (but we quietly miss our snow this year, I am sure it will be back next winter)
Spent about a week up there on business one July. Anchorage, drove to Seward for dinner once. Flew to an AF remote radar site. The purity of rivers and streams really struck me. I had to get out and roll up my pants and take a little walk through one. Pretty cold water! How many winters have you been up there?
BTW, Bruce, Holdren is pointing out the one sucker who actually believes that shit and is not getting paid to do so.
So, you can see, the trip was a tremendous success.
Actually I doubt his mind can ever be that focused. I saw the video, and what he said at that moment was: "SQUIRREL!"
John Holdren - the godfather of eugenics. Read his book Science if you really want to crawl into his brain. Him and Maurice Strong are founders of climate change as a tool to de-industrialize and reduce population sizes.
There was recently a paper published in Nature where the authors, sorry, forget their names, developed climate models based on the PDO instead of CO2. Their models fit the real climate very well and even worked on a regional scale. Can't say that about CO2 models. I'd say that is excellent validation that it is the oceans that are the drivers of the climate and not the life-supporting, non-pollutant, known as CO2.
Just browsed down through the comments so may have missed it but the correlation between CO2 and USLandTemps in the past 20 years is R2=.02, which means there is no correlation.
It's been raining in NorCal nonstop for the past few weeks, by the way.
I guess this too will be blamed on climate change.
Is not a change in the climate the very definition of weather? When I check the weather it is to see how much the climate will change over the next few days. I really don't see how anything can be done about this "problem."
