POPSD.C. Cop Blasted Over Gun in Snowball Fight Veteran cop was outgunned with all of the snowballers out there. Plus, he's the only black guy out there in the middle of all those white folk. He should have his gun available..... He didn't like his ride being pummeled by snowballs either....

POPSDigging Out The storm prompted our Governor to declare a state of emergency in West Virginia on Saturday. I was on the road with a crew from 9 to 5 in charge of snow removal and one of my clients actually measured the snow for me--20 inches worth of it. The interchanges were horrible at one point with abandoned cars and trucks everywhere.

POPS NASA-Gate Hansen has said in the past that "heads of major fossil-fuel companies who spread disinformation about global warming should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature." What penalties would he recommend for himself and his CRU colleagues? We recall the unguarded admission of climate alarmist Steven Schneider of Stanford, printed in Discover in 1989: "To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest." The warm-mongers at CRU and NASA may be neither. Let's open their books to find how well they may have been cooked. Investors.com http://bit.ly/7IK1wb

POPSChance of Snow Friday is Up in the Air Please be kind to your local forecasters. They'd very much like to definitively say it will snow Friday. Accuweather.com's Joe Bastardi said most Houstonians should expect to at least see snowflakes in the air. But weather, he admitted, is weather. “What I get concerned about is that if the snow stops 10 miles northwest of Houston,” he said. “Then everyone thinks we're idiots.” By ERIC BERGER

POPS Obama Flunks Global Warming 101 on Fargo In this case it is flooding and people living in naturally high-risk areas. Former colleague Professor Bill Carlyle told me the Red River valley in Canada and the US was the largest most densely drained agricultural region in the world. Despite this there is no evidence that flooding has increased. Massive floods in 1776, 1826, 1950, and 1997 are maximum events of the natural pattern for the region. The 1826 flood was 3 times larger than 1950 and indications are 1776 was even worse. Each spring the snow melts first in the southern end of the Red River valley then drains to the river which flows north (Tell the Washington bureaucrat). This creates a problem because the river is still frozen and ice jams frequently block drainage causing more severe flooding. It is not a “no risk” world. We can reduce but not eliminate risk. Insurance and government assistance offset but do not eliminate risk. In fact, you can argue they aggravate the problem.

POPSNo SUVs Around During the Roman Global Warming ‘Crisis’
This warming trend would last almost 400 years, a well documented era known as the Medieval Warm Period. Once again, as temperatures rose harvests and populations grew. Vineyards made their way into Northern Europe, including Britain. Art and science flourished in what we now know as the Renaissance. Then around 1300 A.D. things cooled drastically. This cold spell would last almost 500 years, a severe climate event known as the Little Ice Age. Millions died in famine as glaciers advanced all over the world. The plague returned. In Greenland, the Norse colony that had been established during the Medieval Warming froze and starved. Arctic pack ice descended south, pushing Inuit peoples to the shores of Scotland. People ice skated on the Thames; they walked from Staten Island to Manhattan over a frozen New York Harbor. The year 1816 was remembered as the year without a summer, with some portions of the Northern Hemisphere seeing snowfall in June.

POPSThe Great Destabilization Gordon Brown landed back in London a sadder but wiser man. The Fleet Street correspondents reported sneeringly that he (and they) had been denied the usual twin-podia alternating-flags press conference. The Obama administration had supposedly penciled one in for the Rose Garden, but then there was that catastrophic snowfall (a light dusting). This must be the first world leaders’ press conference to be devastated by climate change. He did, however, get to give an almost entirely unreported address to Congress. U.S. legislators greeted his calls to resist protectionism with a round of applause, and then went back to adding up how much pork in the “Buy American” section of the stimulus bill would be heading their way. I would make a modest prediction that in 2012, after four years of the man who was supposed to heal America’s relations with a world sick of all that swaggering cowboy unilateralism, those relations will be much worse.
