UAH Satellite shows 0.3C cooling in the global monthly-average over the last 3 months. Why isn't CO2 trapping the heat emitted by the tropical Pacific? Where is the heat going? Now we wait 15 days for NASA and NOAA to release their fake numbers for May 2016. I can impute the entire genome of 40,000 subjects in that time using a reference panel of 32,000+ subjects, but it takes NASA and NOAA fifteen days to sum and average a bunch of weather stations. LOL!

Hopefully Obama and his charlatan "scientists" will all be getting the boot and need to find other than government troughs to engorge themselves. Might even sue them to claw back their illegally gained funds.

Here’s just one excerpt: We cannot continue to allow thousands upon thousands of people to pour into our country many of whom have the same thought process as this savage killer. Many of the principles of radical Islam are incompatible with Western values and institutions. Remember this, radical Islam is anti-woman, anti-gay and anti-American. I refuse to allow America to become a place where gay people, Christian people, Jewish people are targets of persecution and intimation by radical Islamic preachers of hate and violence. -Donald Trump

Uh oh, CO2 passes 400-ppm at South Pole. Does it matter? Not according to the 30-year cooling trend. South Pole is last place on Earth to pass #GlobalWarming milestone: https://t.co/086a5pqIkG @NOAAResearch pic.twitter.com/7r8dE2kcGX — NOAA (@NOAA) June 15, 2016 According to global warming theory, CO2 is suppose to absorb infrared radiation from 12-17 micrometers, which occur at subzero temperatures. Seems evident to me that CO2 has no impact on subzero temperatures. Even after surpassing the magical 400-ppm threshold, Antarctica is way below average.

Jesse Ventura, who said he was defamed by the late author Chris Kyle in the bestselling book "American Sniper." The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also sent a portion of the case — Ventura's defamation claim — back to the district court for a new trial, saying Ventura's attorneys made improper remarks and the trial court "clearly abused its discretion in denying a new trial." Messages left with Ventura, his publicist and his attorney were not immediately returned Monday. An attorney for Kyle's estate had no comment and referred questions to publisher HarperCollins, which said it was reviewing the opinion and had no comment at this time. © The Associated Press FILE - This combination of file photos shows Chris Kyle, left, former Navy SEAL and author of the book “American Sniper,” on April 6, 2012, and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, right, on Sept. 21, 2012. A federal… Kyle is a former SEAL regarded as the deadliest sniper in U.S. military history with 160 confirmed kills. In his book "American Sniper," he wrote a subchapter called "Punching Out Scruff Face" in which he describes decking Ventura at a California bar in 2006 after Ventura made offensive comments about SEALs, including that the SEALs "deserve to lose a few" in Iraq. Ventura, a former Underwater Demolition Teams/SEAL member and ex-pro wrestler, sued. He testified at trial that he never made the statements and that the confrontation never happened. He also said the book ruined his reputation in the tight-knit SEAL community. Kyle, who was killed on a shooting range in 2013 by a troubled fellow veteran, gave sworn videotaped testimony before his death that his story was true. The case proceeded against his estate. In 2014, a jury awarded Ventura $500,000 for defamation and $1.3 million for unjust enrichment. Kyle's widow, Taya Kyle, appealed, asking that the verdict be thrown out or that a new trial be ordered on First Amendment and other grounds. Ventura's lawyers, however, argued that jury got the verdict right. In Monday's ruling, a three-judge appellate panel reversed the unjust-enrichment award, saying the theory of unjust-enrichment "enjoys no legal support under Minnesota law" and fails as a matter of law. © The Associated Press FILE - In this July 8, 2014 file photo, former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, center, leaves federal court in St. Paul, Minn. A federal appeals court has thrown out a $1.8 million judgment awarded to Ventura, who says he was… The majority of the judges also vacated the defamation award and sent that portion of the case back to court for a new trial. The majority found that Ventura's attorneys improperly let the jury hear that publisher HarperCollins had an insurance policy to cover a defamation award and attorney fees. The majority said those comments prevented Kyle's estate from receiving a fair trial and that Ventura's attorneys deliberately referenced a "deep-pocket insurer" to try to influence the jury and enhance damages. "From our review, these unsupported, improper, and prejudicial statements were not heat of the moment argument, but were strategic and calculated," the judges wrote. The judges also wrote: "Ventura's counsel's closing remarks, in combination with the improper cross-examination of two witnesses about Kyle's insurance coverage, prevented Kyle from receiving a fair trial." Judge Lavenski Smith dissented, saying Ventura's attorneys mentioned insurance coverage only after Taya Kyle testified she'd be responsible for damages. He noted that Ventura's attorneys argued Taya Kyle should not be allowed to "plead poverty if an insurance company is going to pick up the tab." Smith said any error in allowing Ventura's counsel to ask about insurance was harmless and non-prejudicial. He also found that the $500,000 award for defamation was not excessive. The hit movie based on Kyle's book did not depict the alleged incident. ___ Associated Press writer Steve Karnowski contributed to this report. ___ Follow Amy Forliti on Twitter: twitter.com .
