Fundamental transform of our land;
A banana republic at hand.
What Obama hath wrought:
From our freedoms, long fought
is defeat under his non-command.
Obama has done immense damage to our country.
I try to summarize it in the impeachment song.

Twenty days in record territory for Antarctic sea-ice in 2014. Nine new absolute records set.
(Updated Oct 10
)
The results are in. New absolute record for ice in Antarctica since measurements begun was set in 2012. It was then broken in 2013, and in 2014 there was nine new absolute records, twenty-one days in record territory, and so far this year 193 daily records set. The Antarctic ice sheet is growing year by year. It is Climate Change, and it is getting colder. Last June was the coldest month ever recorded in Antarctica. The CO2 content in air keeps setting new records, and so does the ice, the ice keeps growing. Time to reevaluate the climate models.
Here are the 44 days with most ice ever recorded, 28 are for 2014, 15 for 2013 and one for 2012:

The water on Earth predates the sun. The bible tells me so.
There was an interesting headline in Los Angeles Times’ Science Now:
Water on Earth predates the solar system, and even the sun.
There is nothing new under the sun.
God Himself told us so in the Holy Bible.
Genesis 1:1-3(NKJV)
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
So it should come as no surprise that the water was there before the sun was formed.
Now the scientific paper in Science from which Los Angeles Times quoted says it in scientific terms in its abstract: (by L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Edwin A. Bergin, Conel M. O’D. Alexander, Fujun Du, Dawn Graninger, Karin I. Öberg, Tim J. Harries)
“Identifying the source of Earth’s water is central to understanding the origins of life-fostering environments and to assessing the prevalence of such environments in space. Water throughout the solar system exhibits deuterium-to-hydrogen enrichments, a fossil relic of low-temperature, ion-derived chemistry within either (i) the parent molecular cloud or (ii) the solar nebula protoplanetary disk. Using a comprehensive treatment of disk ionization, we find that ion-driven deuterium pathways are inefficient, which curtails the disk’s deuterated water formation and its viability as the sole source for the solar system’s water. This finding implies that, if the solar system’s formation was typical, abundant interstellar ices are available to all nascent planetary systems.”
The editor of Science tries to simplify it so all can understand:
Nature or nurture for solar system ices?
“We know that life’s favorite molecule, water, exists throughout the solar system. What we don’t know is whether present water levels reflect the chemical conditions of our parent nebula or whether they result from later reprocessing in the young system. The levels of deuterium and hydrogen in solar system water ice offer a tracer for chemical history, and Cleeves et al. model the processes at play. The analysis suggests that all nascent planetary systems may have the same water resources that we did.”
Science, this issue p. 1590
Methinks the beginning of the Holy Bible gives the best explanation of how Creation happened, completely void of scientific jargon.
In those three verses God establishes His principles:
In the Beginning – There was a beginning.
God – God was before the beginning of time and space.
Created – God Created all in the beginning
The Heavens and the Earth. – Yes, indeed every matter.
The earth was without form – Not even the sphere was formed.
And void -No life yet.
And darkness was on the face of the deep – No light was yet started, only matter, especially water.
And The Spirit of God hovered over the waters – The Holy Spirit – God’s Spirit was there at Creation forming everything.
And God Said – Here is introduced the Word that later became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus Christ was present and active during creation.
Let there be Light – And so, the creation of life could begin.
This August was the warmest on record, so says NASA. Or was it the 9th warmest?
On September 15 a news release was issued by NASA and confirmed by NOAA that August was the warmest August on record.
I tried to look into the data and found the source was a preliminary result of sea surface temperatures for August, which looked ominous indeed
On Sep 9 NOAA issued the following report:
It showed how the data was taken that led to the sudden rise in global temperatures.
We can clearly see the warmer and colder areas, with the read areas (warmer) totally dominating the blue (colder) areas.
However, in this data set, the temperatures in the polar regions are not included, hence conclusions are drawn from incomplete data.
When these areas are included August 2014 was not the warmest August on record, It wad the ninth warmest August and the 89th warmest month on record.
These ate the tabulated data from NASA.

Divide by 100 to get changes in degrees Celsius (deg-C).
Multiply that result by 1.8(=9/5) to get changes in degrees Fahrenheit (deg-F).
Best estimate for absolute global mean for 1951-1980 is 14.0 deg-C or 57.2 deg-F,
so add that to the temperature change if you want to use an absolute scale
(this note applies to global annual means only, J-D and D-N !)
Example -- Table Value : 40
change : 0.40 deg-C or 0.72 deg-F
abs. scale if global annual mean : 14.40 deg-C or 57.92 deg-F
The September 15 release was done by the political arm of NASA, and was timed for maximum impact on the United Nations Climate Summit one week later.
The final Aug Data was never taken into consideration even though it was available.
They did not want to release it was the ninth warmest August ever.
For good measure NOAA released it was the warmest summer ever. In reality it was maybe the seventh warmest summer ever.
Do NASA and NOAA lie wilfully? No, they just want to release selected data in such a way as to safeguard future funding.
On September 23 or so President Obama will address the United Nations' Climate Summit and proclaim "This August was the warmest August ever" or words to that effect, pointing to the NOAA and NASA press releases.
Ninth day in a row for absolute ice records in Antarctica!!
The Antarctic sea ice now covers an area that is larger than United States and Canada put together, or more than twice the size of Europe..
Another way to look at the ice cover size is, if the landmass of Antarctica is included, the ice cover is larger than Asia.
The amount of ice over last years absolute record is about the same in area as the sum of the areas of Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria put together.
Notice the ice extent goes all the way up to the 55th latitude, where a change in the albedo from the ice has a strong cooling effect since a large fraction of the sunlight gets reflected and not absorbed. At the 55th latitude the sun is now 35 degrees above the horizon. The sun in the Arctic by contrast is now only 10 degrees above the horizon at the 80th latitude, so the effect of the Arctic ice is much less important.
This will probably not be mentioned at the United Nations’ Summit on Climate Change September 23 in N.Y. Instead President Obama will say something like “warmest August on record”, referring to a press release from NASA, confirmed by NOAA. These were preliminary figures excluding the polar regions, but when the polar regions are included, according to NASA’s own data https://lenbilen.com/2014/09/21/this-august-was-the-warmest-on-record-so-says-nasa-or-was-it-the-9th-warmest/ it was the eighth warmest August, and the 89th warmest month overall.
This highlights the importance of the polar regions to be included when calculating the earth’s temperature and energy balance.
Here are the 30 highest values in square kilometers since satellite records begun.

Eighth day in a row for absolute ice records in Antarctica!!
Eighth day in a row for absolute ice records in Antarctica!!
The Antarctic sea ice now covers an area that is larger than United States and Canada combined, or more than twice the size of Europe..
Another way to look at the ice cover size is, if the landmass of Antarctica is included, the ice cover is larger than Asia.
The amount of ice over last years absolute record is larger in area than the country of Spain.
Notice the ice extent goes all the way up to the 55th latitude, where a change in the albedo from the ice has a substantial cooling effect since a large portion of the sunlight gets reflected rather than absorbed. At the 55th latitude the sun is now 35 degrees above the horizon. The sun in the Arctic by contrast is now only 10 degrees above the horizon at the 80th latitude, so the effect of the Arctic ice is much less important.
This will probably not be mentioned at the United Nations’ Summit on Climate Change September 23 in N.Y. Instead President Obama will say something like “warmest August on record”, referencing a press release from NASA, confirmed by NOAA. These were preliminary figures excluding the polar regions, but when they are included, according to NASA’s own data http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata_v3/GLB.Ts.txt it was the eighth warmest August, and the 89th warmest month overall.
This highlights the importance of the polar regions to be included when calculating the earth’s temperature and energy balance.
Here are the 30 highest values in square kilometers since satellite records begun.

One wonder is this going to be mentioned at the United Nations’ Summit on Climate Change September 23 in N.Y.?
The Climate Summit September 23 in N.Y. is expected to gather 125 heads of State or heads of Government.
Notably absent will be Aussie PM Tony Abbott representing 1.12% of the world’s CO2 emissions, Chinese President Xi Jinping with 24.65%, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with 6%, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper with 1.48%, German Chancellor Angela Merkel with 3% and Russian President Vladimir Putin with 5.18%.
The absences represent about 43% of the world’s CO2 emissions. Of course, when it comes to real pollution, nobody beats China. A good day in Beijing would be an air alert in the U.S.

Antarctic sea-ice keeps growing and growing, now over 20 million square Kilometers!!. New absolute records set six days in a row.
The Antarctic sea ice now covers an area that is larger than United States and Canada combined. The amount of ice over last years absolute record is larger in area than the country of Sweden.

For the Climate Summit! Fifth Day in a row for new all time record of sea-ice in the Antarctic!
The Antarctic sea ice now covers an area that is larger than United States and Canada combined. The amount of ice over last years record is larger than the country of Finland.
One wonder if this is even going to be mentioned at the United Nations’ Summit on Climate Change September 23 in N.Y.
The Climate Summit September 23 in N.Y. is expected to gather more than 120 heads of state.
Notably absent will be Aussie PM Tony Abbott representing 1.12% of the world’s CO2 emissions, Chinese President Xi Jinping with 24.65%, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with 6%, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper with 1.48%, German Chancellor Angela Merkel with 3% and Russian President Vladimir Putin with 5.18%.
