Yeah me too! 
California fires could it be
causing global warming and not the other way around.? As measured in California Gov Swatzen needs to say what they want to hear, especially since he will need a bailout from the Dems and as he admitted his “Kennedy”wife booted him out of the bedroom ,so now he has to “go along to get along”…..hehe He has no credability anymore…..

Another global warming controversy, although remembering taking a course on writing for science by frustrated english teachers who didn’t undersatand they way we wrote or what we were talking about ..on major in invironment said warming gen. preceeds a freezing.
11-15) 04:00 PST Sacramento –Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed an executive order Friday directing state agencies to study the effects of global warming and recommend how the state needs to adapt to such changes in land use planning and building new infrastructure.
“Given the serious threat of sea level rise to California’s water supply, population and our economy, it’s critically important that we make sure the state is prepared,” Schwarzenegger said in a written statement.The executive order was signed after a conference Friday in Long Beach on global warming and water infrastructure that was sponsored in part by the state Department of Water Resources, said Tony Brunello, a deputy secretary for climate change and energy for the state Resources Agency.
While California has embarked on an ambitious goal to reduce greenhouse gases that cause global warming, the effects of climate change - higher temperatures, less precipitation and higher sea levels - are inevitable, Brunello said.
Two years ago, Schwarzenegger signed the landmark legislation AB32, which requires the state to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2020. The California Air Resources Board, which has been charged with implementing AB32’s goals, is set to consider Thursday its draft blueprint on how to limit California’s greenhouse gas emissions.
“But even if we were to stop emitting greenhouse gases in California today … the carbons that have already been emitted would still be with us and those impacts are still going to happen,” Brunello said.
He said that while figuring out how to limit green house gas emissions has been receiving a lot of attention, how to adapt to the changing climate has been largely ignored. And while there are other states and nations that are researching how to adapt to the effects of global warming, Schwarzenegger’s order is among the first directing agencies to put together a comprehensive plan, he said.
The executive order directs the Department of Water Resources, the California Energy Commission and the state’s coastal management agencies to submit a request with the National Academy of Sciences for a sea level rise assessment report to be completed by Dec. 1, 2010.
The order also requires state agencies that build new infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, to factor in rising sea levels in their planning.
The governor also wants the California Department of Transportation to figure out which transportation projects would be vulnerable to the effects of climate change and has ordered that state agencies use a uniform standard in measuring the effects of climate change. He has also asked state agencies to develop a process on how to better coordinate planning efforts in the future.
Bill Magavern, a lobbyist for the Sierra Club, said he agrees with the governor’s notion that the state needs to prepare for climate change.
“He’s doing the right thing by calling for sound science and coordination among different government agencies,” he said. “As we see impacts like rising sea levels and diminishing snowpack, we’re going to have to adapt.”

Wonder why he didn’t mentioned the lower ROC right before his first pink circle that was suppose to signal a bull market??? Guess it did not fit his fractual.
Irish…here’s more to Throw up from G20
* National and regional authorities should implement national and international measures that protect the global financial system from uncooperative and non-transparent jurisdictions that pose risks of illicit financial activity.
* The Financial Action Task Force should continue its important work against money laundering and terrorist financing, and we support the efforts of the World Bank - UN Stolen Asset Recovery (StAR) Initiative.

(aurum your 21:39) I admire a true contrarian!
The magnitude of your thoughts on the dollar deserve serious consideration -if for no other reason they are true contrarian.
your: “If I am correct on a many year bull in the US dollar —-”
Bernanke will get the world prize on economics and finance and you will become rich as the second best currency trader besides Sorus for his sterling trade. Best of Luck!
My only question: If the dollar rallies for years, what happens to the monumental debt that the US is doubleing every few years? If the dollars goes up like you say does that mean that interest rates would also be going up to accomplish this? In turn does that mean that Gold also goes up? - Since historically Gold goes up the most and fastest when interest rates are rising, not when they are falling?
Sorry, but these are serious questions. Maybe you are on to something really big and the contrarian idea of the century. Respectfully Deadeye

Global Warming Liars
The world has never seen such freezing heat
By Christopher Booker

A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore’s chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record. This was startling. Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China’s official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its “worst snowstorm ever”. In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years. advertisement So what explained the anomaly? GISS’s computerised temperature maps seemed to show readings across a large part of Russia had been up to 10 degrees higher than normal. But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up With That and Climate Audit, began detailed analysis of the GISS data they made an astonishing discovery. The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running. The error was so glaring that when it was reported on the two blogs - run by the US meteorologist Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre, the Canadian computer analyst who won fame for his expert debunking of the notorious “hockey stick” graph - GISS began hastily revising its figures. This only made the confusion worse because, to compensate for the lowered temperatures in Russia, GISS claimed to have discovered a new “hotspot” in the Arctic - in a month when satellite images were showing Arctic sea-ice recovering so fast from its summer melt that three weeks ago it was 30 per cent more extensive than at the same time last year. A GISS spokesman lamely explained that the reason for the error in the Russian figures was that they were obtained from another body, and that GISS did not have resources to exercise proper quality control over the data it was supplied with. This is an astonishing admission: the figures published by Dr Hansen’s institute are not only one of the four data sets that the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) relies on to promote its case for global warming, but they are the most widely quoted, since they consistently show higher temperatures than the others. If there is one scientist more responsible than any other for the alarm over global warming it is Dr Hansen, who set the whole scare in train back in 1988 with his testimony to a US Senate committee chaired by Al Gore. Again and again, Dr Hansen has been to the fore in making extreme claims over the dangers of climate change. (He was recently in the news here for supporting the Greenpeace activists acquitted of criminally damaging a coal-fired power station in Kent, on the grounds that the harm done to the planet by a new power station would far outweigh any damage they had done themselves.) Yet last week’s latest episode is far from the first time Dr Hansen’s methodology has been called in question. In 2007 he was forced by Mr Watts and Mr McIntyre to revise his published figures for US surface temperatures, to show that the hottest decade of the 20th century was not the 1990s, as he had claimed, but the 1930s. Another of his close allies is Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC, who recently startled a university audience in Australia by claiming that global temperatures have recently been rising “very much faster” than ever, in front of a graph showing them rising sharply in the past decade. In fact, as many of his audience were aware, they have not been rising in recent years and since 2007 have dropped. Dr Pachauri, a former railway engineer with no qualifications in climate science, may believe what Dr Hansen tells him. But whether, on the basis of such evidence, it is wise for the world’s governments to embark on some of the most costly economic measures ever proposed, to remedy a problem which may actually not exist, is a question which should give us all pause for thought.
