| Posted: 02 Mar 2011 10:45 AM PST  Bulli at the beach Hippies sometimes have a rough go of it on The Daily Bayonet, but not today. Hippies have been delivered such good news it's possible their mellow little heads may instantaneously explode with pure karmic joy. And love, brothers and sisters, never forget the L.O.V.E. It's all we need. The VW Minibus is back. And it's electric, baby. Not only is the hippie-mobile eco-friendly, groovy cats can control the 8-track with an iPad and it comes with climate control. Take that, global warming downerville. It's totally outtasight, dude:        |
| W. Virginia's Highs and Lows (and Records) Posted: 02 Mar 2011 10:35 AM PST  Excerpted from "Meteorological Spring Warm News to Mountain State Residents" by Keith Morris in the Charleston Environmental News Examiner: With only two weeks of winter remaining, many people are happy to see an end to a season that brought some of the coldest temperatures the state has seen in recent years. … Beckley, W.Va. endured one of its snowiest winters ever when 47.3 inches of snow fell this past December, which was also the third greatest total Beckley has ever seen in any month.   |
| USA Today again misleads with global warming equals more snowstorms article Posted: 02 Mar 2011 10:23 AM PST  Excerpted from "Global warming & snowstorms: not a yes or no link" in the Washington Post by Jason Samenow: A day after the Union of Concern Scientists (UCS) - a non-profit environmental group - announced "Climate Change Makes Major Snowstorms More Likely", USA Today's Weather Editor Doyle Rice published an interesting story on possible linkages between U.S. snowstorms and global warming.   |
| Consumer Reports Knocks Government Motors' Chevy Volt in Review Posted: 02 Mar 2011 08:34 AM PST  Image via Wikipedia Coming in at a whopping $43,700, which didn't include the $5000 dealer markup, Consumer Reports wasn't very kind to the Chevy Volt in their latest review. The leading organization on, well, consumer reports, questioned whether the Volt made "economic" sense. The vehicle is General Motors' flagship, which they've invested heavily in since receiving their taxpayer bailout. The Volt is supposedly their saving grace, but this review in particular emphasizes what happens when liberals put their climate change agenda ahead of functionality and what consumers want.   |
| U.N. climate talks seen missing aid plan deadline Posted: 02 Mar 2011 08:24 AM PST  John Ashe, the ambassador to the United Nations for Antigua and Barbuda. Image via Wikipedia A plan by almost 200 countries to step up efforts to fight climate change is set to miss a March deadline for starting work on a green fund to help developing nations, delegates said on Wednesday. Groups of Asian, and Latin American and Caribbean countries have yet to decide who will gain early influence in designing the "Green Climate Fund" by attending 40-nation U.N.-led talks due in Mexico City on March 14 and 15.   |
| Scientist Arnold Schwarzenegger: Climate debate is comparable to bodybuilding Posted: 02 Mar 2011 08:21 AM PST  Image via Wikipedia Arnold Schwarzenegger, aka Conan the Barbarian, has "issued forth a call to end the false debate over climate science." Sure Arnold, it's a "false" debate, about which the Professor and Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Dr. Judith Currie, just stated on her site, "If climate scientists can't convince... people who are looking at the arguments carefully, reading the primary literature, and analyzing data, then it seems to me that the arguments can't be that strong (or the confidence levels can't be that high).   |
| Global warming blamed, again, for record snowfalls Posted: 02 Mar 2011 08:06 AM PST  A snow train blockade in Southern Minnesota Image via Wikipedia "The old adage, 'It's too cold to snow,' has some truth to it," Masters said. "A colder atmosphere holds less moisture, limiting the snowfall that can occur… [and] if the climate continues to warm, we should expect an increase in heavy snow events for a few decades, until the climate grows so warm that we pass the point where it's too warm for it to snow heavily." However, as previously reported from World Climate Report (Coldest Back-to-Back U.S. Winters in a Quarter Century): As the curtain falls on the climatological winter (December-February) of 2010-11 in the U.S., we are left shivering.   |
