Billy..........check this out........what a joke.......without tax credits, this bogus energy source ( solar ) dies............growth of solar to slow down big time between '17-'19 >>
Solar power is still growing rapidly — but it's about to hit a big speed bump
Unless Congress decides to extend this tax credit — and many Republicans aren't too thrilled with that idea — it's set to lapse on January 1, 2017. At that point, it will drop to 10 percent for utilities and commercial installers, and disappear entirely for residential solar.
Yep! once the freebie dies so does the industry.. Let the tax credit die!
) solar development will be falling like a stone in water after next year for quite some time!!! And I couldn't be happier!!!

Recent global warming hiatus dominated by low latitude temperature trends in surface and troposphere data
Over the last 15 years, global mean surface temperatures exhibit only weak trends…..Omission of successively larger polar regions from the global-mean temperature calculations, in both tropospheric and surface data sets, shows that data gaps at high latitudes can not explain the observed differences between the hiatus and the pre-hiatus period….

Oooooooo so scary... you found a new gotcha quote.... no evidence to back your claims only phony models... Snageltooth should get a new line... Now instead of DENIER your a ANTI-CATHOLIC BIGOT.... It only took three days for the cult to find a new name for those who dont agree with their witch-doctors and lies after major news reporting agencies were told to stop using it by the white-house...So, will it now be required for all acolytes of the denier cult to embrace anti-Catholic bigotry?
He is Biblically correct by location and action... so NO I do NOT! The Pope has injected himself into a position that is scientifically indefensible and outside the churches purview. The Pope is embracing evil and that is the problem!One of your fellow deniers just declared that the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon. Do you condemn them for that?
..........the "deniers" campaign was such a flop, they had to rename it now!!!

Mother nature keeps give them kicks to the sack and they just ignore them..
Prof. Robert M. Carter;
"Climate has always changed, and it always will. The assumption that prior to the industrial revolution the Earth had a "stable" climate is simply wrong.
The biggest untruth about human global warming is the assertion that nearly all scientists agree that it is occurring, and at a dangerous rate.
The reality is that almost every aspect of climate science is the subject of vigorous debate. Further, thousands of qualified scientists worldwide have signed declarations which (i) query the evidence for hypothetical human-caused warming and (ii) support a rational scientific (not emotional) approach to its study within the context of known natural climate change.
TEN GLOBAL WARMING MYTHS
Myth 1) Average global temperature (AGT) has increased over the last few years.
Fact 1) Within error bounds, AGT has not increased since 1995 and has declined since 2002, despite an increase in atmospheric CO2 of 8% since 1995.
Myth 2) During the late 20th Century, AGT increased at a dangerously fast rate and reached an unprecedented magnitude.
Fact 2) The late 20th Century AGT rise was at a rate of 1-2.0 C/century, which lies well within natural rates of climate change for the last 10,000 yr. AGT has been several degrees warmer than today many times in the recent geological past.
Myth 3) AGT was relatively unchanging in pre-industrial times, has sky-rocketed since 1900, and will increase by several degrees more over the next 100 years (the Mann, Bradley & Hughes "hockey stick" curve and its computer extrapolation).
Fact 3) The Mann et al. curve has been exposed as a statistical contrivance. There is no convincing evidence that past climate was unchanging, nor that 20th century changes in AGT were unusual, nor that dangerous human warming is underway.
Myth 4) Computer models predict that AGT will increase by up to 6.0 C over the next 100 years.
Fact 4) Deterministic computer models do. Other equally valid (empirical) computer models predict cooling.
Myth 5) Warming of more than 2.0 C will have catastrophic effects on ecosystems and mankind alike.
Fact 5) A 2.0 C change would be well within previous natural bounds. Ecosystems have been adapting to such changes since time immemorial. The result is the process that we call evolution. Mankind can and does adapt to all climate extremes.
Myth 6) Further human addition of CO2 to the atmosphere will cause dangerous warming, and is generally harmful.
Fact 6) No human-caused warming can yet be detected that is distinct from natural system variation and noise. Any additional human-caused warming which occurs will probably amount to less than 1.0 C. Atmospheric CO2 is a beneficial fertilizer for plants, including especially cereal crops, and also aids efficient evapo-transpiration.
Myth 7) Changes in solar activity cannot explain recent changes in AGT.
Fact 7) The sun's output varies in several ways on many time scales (including the 11-, 22 and 80-year solar cycles), with concomitant effects on Earth's climate. While changes in visible radiation are small, changes in particle flux and magnetic field are known to exercise a strong climatic effect. More than 50% of the 0.80 C rise in AGT observed during the 20th century can be attributed to solar change.
Myth 8) Unprecedented melting of ice is taking place in both the north and south polar regions.
Fact 8) Both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are growing in thickness and cooling at their summit. Sea ice around Antarctica attained a record area in 2007. Temperatures in the Arctic region are just now achieving the levels of natural warmth experienced during the early 1940s, and the region was warmer still (sea-ice free) during earlier times.
Myth 9) Human-caused global warming is causing dangerous global sea-level (SL) rise.
Fact 9) SL change differs from time to time and place to place; between 1955 and 1996, for example, SL at Tuvalu fell by 105 mm (2.5 mm/yr). Global average SL is a statistical measure of no value for environmental planning purposes. A global average SL rise of 1-2 mm/yr occurred naturally over the last 150 years, and shows no sign of human-influenced increase.
Myth 10) The late 20th Century increase in AGT caused an increase in the number of severe storms (cyclones), or in storm intensity.
Fact 10) Meteorological experts are agreed that no increase in storms has occurred beyond that associated with natural variation of the climate system."

the dude's teachers lost the battle on that guy. He doesn't know how to surf the internet. He posts stuff that he could look up and see ain't true, it's too funny, and it's a good laugh for the day. See the picture of the house on the beach on its side and then blaming melting permafrost. The house about fifty feet from the ocean and the sand erosion, the house fell over. too funny.Prof. Robert M. Carter;
