Tough couple of months for the Global Warming crowd, eh?

Turns out data corruption was so bad at the Climate Research Institute that results had to be fudged, forged, or fooled.

And, uh, the glaciers are not quite melting. Sorry about that: that was a guy who was misquoted by a non-peer reviewed source that failed to fact check.

While we are at it, the vast reduction in mountain ice around the world evidently came from an opinion voiced by a guy who climbs mountains for fun.

Before we forget, turns out global warming is not the cause of the African food shortages. Totally whiffed on that one.

Also, it turns out that water vapor may be responsible for a lot of the higher-than-normal readings, and scientists failed to carry the one.

Now, we learn the sea levels are not quite rising as hoped.

Wow. Hopefully Global Warming is still responsible for all the record-breaking cold and snow we saw this winter.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
