About 10 years ago the brand name global warming was changed to climate change. The reason was simple. The Earth was failing to warm. An additional benefit of the climate change slogan was that everything that goes wrong with the weather can be blamed on climate change, caused by burning fossil fuels. The 2012 hurricane Sandy, that flooded parts of New York and New Jersey, is routinely blamed on climate change. The great New England hurricane of 1938 struck the same area and was vastly worse, killing more than 600 persons. That could not be blamed on climate change caused by CO2, because CO2 was not an issue in 1938. Blaming Sandy on CO2-caused climate change is simply a made-up story without scientific foundation. Just because there are plenty of scientists making a connection between climate change and Sandy does not mean that a scientific foundation exists. It does mean that plenty of scientists are eager to benefit from natural disasters. The idea that scientists are neutral observers resistant to political influence and money is naïve. Scientists are bought and sold every day in the courtrooms of America as paid witnesses. Scientific organizations lobby relentlessly and effectively in Washington. The National Academy of Science pretends to be the government’s advisor on scientific matters. Somehow their recommendations always suggest that more money should be spent on science. Global warming, a.k.a. climate change, has been a bonanza for a large segment of the scientific community. Just as with other special interest groups, the policy recommendations of the science community are heavily influenced by the prospects of getting money from the government. We need science, but science cannot be allowed to run wild.

I was just linked to a radical homosexual publication. They were urging their readers to join school boards and make sure that climate change is embedded in ALL curriculum at all levels. This is not about science.

Real climatologists are fully aware of the fact that the sun is entering a quiet phase, that will bring about a strong cooling trend, also known as a solar minimum.
The impending minimum is already in progress, but the most visible effects won't become apparent for another year or two.
It even has a name. It's called the Eddy Minimum.
It was John Eddy who named it the Maunder Minimum

Thanks. I didn't know that.
"The Maunder Minimum, also known as the "prolonged sunspot minimum", is the name used for the period around 1645 to 1715 during which sunspots became exceedingly rare, as was then noted by solar observers."

A pretty good read
Wow, Iowa is sucking up a lot of Federal dollars, now I know why.
Everything you read in the media about the
progression of climate change, melting of
glaciers, hurricanes caused by climate
change is, as a rule, crap science
I love people who tell it like it is (-:
