Think Progress kicks brainless advocacy efforts into high gear - claiming warmth leaves Alaska

Think Progress has raised the alarm about arctic and Alaskan warming based on a release from the evil advocacy group WWF which uses ficticous arctic readings taken from Hansen’s NASA GISS data set. Hadley and the UAH/RSS arctic make no estimates for the arcttic where there are no reporting stations. Hansen, estimates based on readings taken from 1200 km or more away. In his latest post on Think Progress, another George Soros (a malevolent philanthropist who made his fortunes destroying world economies and peoples), comedy blog, chief comic Joe Romm implies Alaska cold has left for India.  Based on the drum beating of the looney left, concerned about mounting evidence that Arctic thawing is accelerating carbon emissions to the atmosphere, the Ranking Member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Henry Waxman (Democrat, California a fellow loon), has called for a hearing on the issue.

Temperatures dropped to -40F the earliest ever in November in Fairbanks. Record snows fell in southern Alaska from Anchorage east - some place 160 inches above normal through early January.

Here is the latest plot for January Fairbanks high and low daily temperature and then anomalies. 13 days below -40F, an average of -25.7F, a departures from normal of -17.6F, ranking it among coldest ever Januarys. Temperatures as low as -56F were seen in Alaska mid month. Balmy indeed.

And the hits just keep on coming, also in Think Progress, they lament that the Soros-funded astroturf campaign has been exposed and denounced for what it is.

ThinkProgress reports:

Right-wing weathermen who publicly reject climate science have responded with anger and vitriol to a campaign that exposes their influence on the American public. More than half of TV weather reporters don’t believe in human-induced climate change, even as our poisoned weather grows more extreme. Forecast The Facts challenges the American Meteorological Society to take a clear stand against these anti-science ideologues.

After ThinkProgress Green promoted the campaign, listing dozens of the prominent television weathermen who publicly heap scorn on scientific reality, the anti-science weatherguy community has lashed out:

- Rush Limbaugh’s “good guy” meteorologist Ryan Maue complained about the “left-wing sh*t website black-listing on-air meteorologists.”

- Accuweather Senior Vice President Mike Smith agreed that the ThinkProgress article “amounts to blacklisting.”

- San Diego’s KUSI-TV weatherman John Coleman said it was “very disturbing” that “the activists now feel the need to campaign to get us under control.”

- Cleveland’s WJW-TV weatherman Andre Bernier said: “The day the AMS strong arms anyone to tow the AGW is the day I disown them.”

- Retired TV weatherman John Ghiorse called the campaign “the ultimate in gestapo tactics.”

Strangely, they didn’t complain when Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) compiled a list of science-denying weathermen in 2007…

These looney progressives prove that not all people are left or right brained. Some are neither.
