UN's massive new climate report adds little explanation for 'pause' in warming

UN's massive new climate report adds little explanation for 'pause' in warming | Fox News 
An enormous U.N. report on the scientific data behind global warming was made available Monday, yet it offers little concrete explanation for an earthly oddity: the planet’s climate has hit the pause button. 
Since 1998, there has been no significant increase in global average surface temperature, and some areas -- notably the Northern Hemisphere -- have actually cooled. The 2,200-page new Technical Report attributes that to a combination of several factors, including natural variability, reduced heating from the sun and the ocean acting like a “heat sink” to suck up extra warmth in the atmosphere. 
One problem with that conclusion, according to some climate scientists, is that the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has limited the hiatus to 10-15 years. Anastasios Tsonis, distinguished professor at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, believes the pause will last much longer than that. ...
Yeah sure, global warming is real, yeah right got it... Except that the facts don't support it.

How to tell if you're talking to a flaming liberal

I was sitting at PT with an ice pack on my knee when the guy next to me started talking about healthcare. I wasn't too interested in talking about it but to be nice I went along. It quickly turned into a lecture from him. He never wanted to hear anything I had to say and interrupted me often. Liberals never want to discuss anything, they just want to preach their -flip card- doctrine. I've learned long ago not to bother with them but I was trapped with that ice pack on my knee. In mid sentence, his, not mine, the therapist came by to remove the ice pack. I used the opportunity to escape with the liberal still talking. I said, "Nice to meet you, gotta go" and left. he probably thought he had converted me because I didn't respond to his speech. He didn't, he just reinforced my conviction that liberals lean to the idiot side and aren't worth the time or effort to debate them.

The average IQ is 100. That means that half the people are below 100. Now we know where all the liberals come from...

Obamacare Will Increase Avg. Individual-Market Insurance Premiums By 99% For Men, 62% For Women - Forbes

Double Down: Obamacare Will Increase Avg. Individual-Market Insurance Premiums By 99% For Men, 62% For Women - Forbes 

For months now, we’ve been waiting to hear how much Obamacare will drive up the cost of health insurance for people who purchase coverage on their own. Last night, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services finally began to provide some data on how Americans will fare on Obamacare’s federally-sponsored insurance exchanges. HHS’ press release is full of happy talk about how premiums will be “lower than originally expected.” But the reality is starkly different. ...

Global warming 'hiatus' puts climate change scientists on the spot

Global warming 'hiatus' puts climate change scientists on the spot - latimes.com 

It's a climate puzzle that has vexed scientists for more than a decade and added fuel to the arguments of those who insist man-made global warming is a myth. 
Since just before the start of the 21st century, the Earth's average global surface temperature has failed to rise despite soaring levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases and years of dire warnings from environmental advocates. 
Now, as scientists with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change gather in Sweden this week to approve portions of the IPCC's fifth assessment report, they are finding themselves pressured to explain this glaring discrepancy. ...

AFL-CIO President Trumka: Employers Cutting Workers to 29 1/2 Hours to Avoid ObamaCare

AFL-CIO President Trumka: Employers Cutting Workers to 29 1/2 Hours to Avoid ObamaCare | NewsBusters 

... RICHARD TRUMKA, PRESIDENT AFL-CIO: The Affordable Care Act does need some modifications to it, because as it does right now, what's happening is, you have employers that the law says if you pay your, if your employees work 30 hours or more a week, you've got to give them healthcare. So they're restructuring their workforce to give workers 29 and a half hours so they don't have to provide them healthcare. ...
