What you need to know about the NOAA global warming faux pause paper

"According to the raw, unadjusted data, global surface temperatures warmed about 0.9°C from 1880 to 2014. According to the new NOAA analysis, they warmed about 0.8°C during that time. That’s a bit more than in the previous version of NOAA’s data set (0.75°C), but the net effect of these adjustments is to reduce the overall estimated warming as compared to the raw data"

Wtf? What is the point of taxing then returning other than to add to the bloat that is regulation? This is moronic.

The point is to cut emissions and send a clear message to investors. It would not add to the bloat if the bill axed other taxes.

This businessman thinks he can change the GOP’s mind on climate change

It appears Faison too likes the revenue-neutral carbon tax. British Columbia passed a successful carbon tax that involved significant tax cuts. Australia had a version using a direct rebate. There are small-government solutions.

What’s moronic is the GOP’s refusal to engage in serious discussion. You’re making your big government paranoia a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Lake Mead About to Hit a Critical New Low as 15-Year Drought Continues in Southwest
As of yesterday, the elevation of Lake Mead was 1,075.96. The reservoir is only days away from hitting 1,075 feet, according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s projections. That number is the threshold set in a 2007 agreement as part of the U.S. Department of Interior’s Colorado River Interim Guidelines, which calls for delivery cuts if water levels in Lake Mead drops below that level.

These cuts will be the first set of mandatory water delivery curtailments to Lake Mead. Should the water levels continue to drop, as they are expected to—due to the prolonged drought, climate change and poor water management—more cuts will be required. The Western Water Policy Program and the Bren School of Environmental Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara recently released their spring report, The Bathtub Ring, which examines the impacts as Lake Mead levels decline to 1075 feet, 1050 feet, 1025 feet and 1000 feet.

The Bureau of Reclamation predicts the first round of cuts could take place in January 2017 with Arizona and Southern Nevada seeing the biggest cuts. Arizona plans to curtail “groundwater recharge efforts” and cut “deliveries to farmers with low-priority rights,” according to the Las Vegas Sun. Arizona’s cities “would be unaffected, at least initially.” Southern Nevada, for its part, “has prepared with conservation, saving enough water that residents and businesses won’t be affected if a portion no longer is available.”

Further reductions would kick in when the reservoir dips below 1,050 feet and again at 1,025 feet. When the water level hits 1,025 feet, “a new round of water rationing would have to be negotiated,” reports the Las Vegas Sun. The epic drought has left water officials scrambling to plan for rapidly diminishing water levels.

“We’re headed to a new normal,” Gary Wockner, executive director of the nonprofit Save the Colorado River, told the Las Vegas Sun. “It remains to be seen what will happen, but political tensions are very likely.”

"New NOAA Analysis" lol. What did they do find some new old data to adjust? A Tempature reading is the Tempature. No need to adjust it.

Back in 2008 on Good Morning America "experts" said by 2015 NYC would be under water because of the rising seas, milk would be $14 a gallon, and gas would be $9 a gallon..

Ahh climate experts, like the snake oil salesmen of the old west.

Remember "Superstorm Sandy" in 2012?

Anyway, television journalist =/= climate scientist. Sea level rise has been on the high end of IPCC projections:

Great show tonight on Fox about people like Bart. It is about green tyrants. (Stossel)

Looks like 1991 had the perfect amount of warming because sea levels were at 0.

2.54 cm per inch. Chart shows about 2 inches of rise. Guess we can surmise that the sea is indeed feminine because no guy would allow a 2 inch rise to become common knowledge by the public.

3/10


1990 is just the chosen reference point - probably because it’s the base year for the Kyoto Protocol. The projected rate is from the third assessment report.

Global mean sea level has risen ~8 inches over the past century. It’s expected to continue accelerating, adding a couple of feet this century and several meters in coming centuries if the ice sheets do indeed collapse. That’s bad news for the hundreds of millions of people (including many Americans) living in low-lying coastal areas. No joke

It's bad news for the people over several centuries? Who is living in the coastal areas who will still be alive in 300+ years.

And my joke was way better than 3/10. C'mon, man..credit where it's due.
