Newsflash from the German ShortNews site, which although it claims to be a serious news site, is now apparently in competition with The Onion:07/16/14 ShortNews (Germany) (Google translation + light editing)Genetically alter humans: The last alternative to climate protectionIf it is so hard to stop climate change, why not change the people, in order to slow global warming, at least? Some ideas about it are radical, but the more mankind feels the consequences, the more necessary biomedical modifications will become. Eighteen percent of greenhouse gas emissions come from livestock. Why not induce humans to have an artificial intolerance to meat? A genetic variation for size reduction would be another possibility. A reduction in height by 15 cm means a reduction in mass by 25 percent. Genetic alterations of the human eye to see better in the dark, would reduce power consumption. Chlorophylls in the skin could cover a part of the energy demand by sunlight rather than by food. Shutdown of cell activity at rest would also be an alternative.H/T to Die Kalte Sonne: Climate activists propose genetic modification of humans as steps to reduce CO2 emissions…
Washington Times cites Climate Depot

The leaked report by the U.N. panel claims that global warming is responsible for cutting grain production, but that may not be true, either. Don J. Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology at Western Washington University who is a reviewer for the U.N. panel, tells the website Climate Depot that wheat production is declining “not because of global warming but because of global cooling that has affected the growing season.” Mr. Easterbrook points out that hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts and other serious weather events are declining, not increasing

Donald Trump Scoffs at ‘Climate Change’: ‘It’s Called Weather’

ZTrumpReal estate mogul Donald Trump is not afraid to tell it like it is. The bold billionaire has been willing to call out the political correctness police and the asinine celebrities who do more talking than thinking.
Now, Trump has called out President Obama and claimed that Americans feel “embarrassed” about the obvious lack of leadership in the White House.
In a recent interview with Breitbart News, Trump explained, “[Americans] are so disappointed in their country. They’re disappointed in their leadership, and they’re very embarrassed.”
While conservatives and Tea Partiers remain some of the most patriotic Americans, Trump is correct in his assessment that many feel embarrassed by the president and disappointed in the direction this nation is heading.
When the conversation turned to illegal immigration and Obama’s continual threat to implement amnesty via executive fiat, Trump explained that it “would be a terrible thing for the country” if the president ruled as a dictator and enacted unilateral amnesty.
“Our country has enough problems,” Trump said. “Many of the people coming in are not people that their countries wanted. We’re getting a lot of rough customers coming in and we’re getting a lot of criminal types coming in. I’m sure we’re getting some very good people coming in. But it’s very unfair to the millions of other people who want to come into the country who want to go through the legal system, and they’re never going to make it. It’s very unfair.”
Trump claimed that ISIS may have sealed their own fate by publicly beheading journalist James Foley. Trump explained,
“ISIS made a very big mistake when they so publicly beheaded Mr. Foley, the reporter. I think that was a tremendous mistake, because more than any other act that got the anger of even people who were not hawkish—that got the anger up. I think that was a terrible mistake because I’d imagine at a certain point we’re going to blow them into oblivion. People who weren’t in favor of that all of a sudden are.”
Of course, public sentiment may be against ISIS, but military action would require a Commander-in-Chief with the nerve and fortitude to commit to force and remain committed fully until the job was done.

New paper finds the last interglacial was warmer than today, not simulated by climate models – Published in Climate of the Past
A new paper published in Climate of the Past compares temperature reconstructions of the last interglacial period [131,000-114,000 years ago] to climate model simulations and finds climate models significantly underestimated global temperatures of the last interglacial by ~0.67C on an annual basis and by ~1.1C during the warmest month. …
