Y2Kyoto: The Planet Is A Yawner
We (the world) didn’t have an unusual number of floods, we don’t seem to have any major droughts going on, total polar ice is unremarkable, arctic ice bottomed out well within the tolerances slowly being established by its absurdly short baseline, antarctic ice set a maximum record (but just barely, hardly newsworthy) in ITS absurdly short baseline, the LTT temperatures were downright boring, and in spite of the absurdly large spikes in GASTA in GISS vs HADCRUT4 on a so-called “temperature anomaly” relative to a GAST baseline nobody can measure to within a whole degree centigrade, neither one of them did more than bounce around in near-neutral, however much the “trend” in GISS is amplified every second or third month by its extra-high endpoint.

Cold Comfort
Two Canadian Greenpeace activists jailed more than a month in Russia will be moved to a less remote but not necessarily less harsh prison, the environmental organization said.
Paul Ruzycki, of Port Colborne, Ont., and Montrealer Alexandre Paul, along with 28 other activists, have been in custody 45 days in Murmansk, in the frigid northwestern part of the country, in what Greenpeace photos show to be spartan conditions.
For those who wish to write the Russian Embassy to urge for their continued detention, the address is here. Or, follow them on Twitter!

Whoops, too soon.
Pedophilia is not a “sexual orientation,” and erroneous use of that phrase will be corrected soon in its new manual on mental illnesses, the American Psychiatric Association said Thursday.

President Loose-lips
Keeping Israel’s enemies informed:
Israel is fuming with the White House for confirming that it was the Israeli Air Force that struck a military base near the Syrian port city of Latakia on Wednesday, hitting weaponry that was set to be transferred to Hezbollah. Israel has not acknowledged carrying out the strike, one of half a dozen such attacks widely ascribed to Israel in recent months, but an Obama administration official told CNN on Thursday that Israeli warplanes had indeed attacked the Syrian base, and that the target was “missiles and related equipment” set for delivery to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israel’s Channel 10 TV on Friday night quoted Israeli officials branding the American leak as “scandalous” (and) “unthinkable.”
