Antarctica sets new record for sea ice area
Posted on June 29, 2014 by Anthony Watts

by Harold Ambler

The sea ice surrounding Antarctica, which, as I reported in my book, has been steadily increasing throughout the period of satellite measurement that began in 1979, has hit a new all-time record high for areal coverage.

The new record anomaly for Southern Hemisphere sea ice, the ice encircling the southernmost continent, is 2.074 million square kilometers and was posted for the first time by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s The Cryosphere Today early Sunday morning.

The previous record anomaly for Southern Hemisphere sea ice area was 1.840 million square kilometers and occurred on December 20, 2007.

Global sea ice area, as of Sunday morning, stood at 1.005 million square kilometers above average.

Don't you just hate it when facts get in the way of a good, emotion driven, knee jerk reaction?

Kids are being taught in public schools that those findings are impossible so should be ignored. Any evidence that doesn't support the agenda isn't tolerated.

This is why nobody with the ability to think for themselves believes the global warming myth:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, criticized for manipulating temperature records to create a warming trend, has now been caught warming the past and cooling the present.

July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the U.S. during a summer that was declared “too hot to handle” by NASA scientists. That summer more than half the country was experiencing drought and wildfires had scorched more than 1.3 million acres of land, according to NASA.

According to NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in 2012, the “average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during July was 77.6°F, 3.3°F above the 20th century average, marking the warmest July and all-time warmest month on record for the nation in a period of record that dates back to 1895.”

“The previous warmest July for the nation was July 1936, when the average U.S. temperature was 77.4°F,” NOAA said in 2012.

This statement by NOAA was still available on their website when checked by The Daily Caller News Foundation. But when meteorologist and climate blogger Anthony Watts went to check the NOAA data on Sunday he found that the science agency had quietly reinstated July 1936 as the hottest month on record in the U.S.

“Two years ago during the scorching summer of 2012, July 1936 lost its place on the leaderboard and July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the United States,” Watts wrote. “Now, as if by magic, and according to NOAA’s own data, July 1936 is now the hottest month on record again. The past, present, and future all seems to be ‘adjustable’ in NOAA’s world.”

Bill Clinton Has Earned $104.9 Million in Speaking Fees. The majority of his speaking income, $56.3 million, came from foreign speeches, Wall Street banks and other financial services firms have paid him a total of $19.6 million. He's collected 17.5 million from speeches at public agencies including schools.
Well spent money, I wonder what he said that was worth $104.9 million? Now we know Hillary's words of wisdom is worth at least 225K since she earned $11.7 last year sharing those words and is already scheduled to speak at 9 public schools this year to educate them. Then she charges them to pose in a picture with her and if they want her to sign it, the price goes up. If they want to sit anywhere near her, they better take out another student loan. You can't expect her to pose with the students for just 225K can you?

I once attended a joint speech by Bob Dole and Bill Clinton.

It was at the Kennedy Center and was for some charity.

Dole was famous for his wit and Clinton was amiable that evening, but what was it worth to be there?

Maybe five bucks because I still remember the evening?

Seven bucks?

It would have to be Einstein come back to life to be worth $225,000 for one speech.
