Blackberry still the king of smartphones
Although Canada's very own Blackberry is still number one in smartphone sales, Google's Android-powered phones are creeping closer to the top position.Apple's iPhone used to be in the number two position but now lags behind them both in the most recent reports.
Surprised? Well if you've ever used Android you wouldn't be. It's pretty effin cool. It's like iPhone OS except completely open, in true glorious Google style!
Personally though, I'm counting down the days until I pick up my new WIND Crackberry...

The Arctic: Over 1,000+ Years, CO2 Has Zero Impact On Polar Warming & Cooling
The AGW hypothesis states that human CO2 emissions will cause the world to warm, with the the globe's polar areas being especially vulnerable to rapid warming, due to CO2. The evidence from the last 1,000 years plus does not support the hypothesis.
Previously, we examined the data from Antarctica. Now we look at the actual Arctic area data (see chart below) and find that like the Antarctic, the northern polar regions have temperature swings unrelated to the CO2 levels. From peak to valley, Arctic temperatures changed more than 1.6 degrees Celsius while CO2 levels remained fairly stable. (click on image to enlarge)
Despite the alarmist claims of polar regions melting due to CO2-induced warming, there is no evidence to support that claim, either historically or currently. In fact, the highest temperatures reached over the last 1,000+ years were during the Medieval Period (about 1,000 years before present) when CO2 levels were close to being their lowest, based on the ice core data.
Temperature data is from the Greenland GISP II ice core, which ends in year 1905. CO2 levels are from the same dataset used in the previous Antarctica graph.

Olympic haters target Royal Bank in Ottawa
A statement in a video made by the "activists" said:“The Vancouver Olympic games are over, but a torch is still burning,” the text reads.
"Royal Bank Canada was a major sponsor of the recently concluded Olympics on stolen indiginous land. The 2010 Winter Olympics increased the homelessness crisis in Vancouver, especially in the Downtown Eastside."
Unbelievable. What a bunch of fucking retards. The vast majority of the public and I agree: You fucking "activists" are a disgrace, a nuisance, and completely off your rockers. You need serious help. You do not gain sympathy with shit like this, you lose all respect. Hey, why don't you go join groups like Earth First or Sierra Club and burn down peoples houses just to save a tree while you're at it. IDIOTS. That is all.
Mobilicity about to launch
Looks like plans even better than WIND Mobile are on the way, as a leaked bit of info on a CTV story has spilled the beans on a possible $65 all-you-can-eat voice, text, and data package coming soon.Stand by.
UPDATE: Never mind. Mobilicity prohibits streaming and tethering on the $65 all-in-one phone plan. WIND is a far better value and a bigger network, no question. ;)
Oops. Greenland Was Warmer 80 Years Ago
Near-Surface Greenland Air Temperatures: 1840-2007 is a new paper analysing Greenland temperature data and has come to the conclusion that Greenland was warmer in the 1930's than now!
"Using a set of 12 coastal and 40 inland ice surface air temperature records in combination with climate model output," the authors say they reconstructed "long-term (1840-2007) monthly, seasonal, and annual spatial patterns of temperature variability over a continuous grid covering Greenland and the inland ice sheet," after which they say they compared "the 1919-32 and 1994-2007 warming episodes" and made "a comparison of Greenland ice sheet surface air temperature temporal variability with that of the Northern Hemisphere average."
Based on the results depicted in the figure above, the four researchers determined that "the annual whole ice sheet 1919-32 warming trend is 33% greater in magnitude than the 1994-2007 warming," and that "in contrast to the 1920s warming, the 1994-2007 warming has not surpassed the Northern Hemisphere anomaly." Indeed, they note that "an additional 1.0°-1.5°C of annual mean warming would be needed for Greenland to be in phase with the Northern Hemisphere pattern."
What it means
In spite of all the fuss climate alarmists make about Greenland being on the verge of crossing a tipping point and beginning to experience dramatic ice loss, the results of Box et al. demonstrate there is nothing unusual, unnatural or unprecedented about the nature of its 1994-2007 warming episode. In fact, it is much less impressive than the 1919-1932 warming; and it becomes even more "less impressive" when it is realized that the atmosphere's CO2 concentration only rose by about 5 ppm during the earlier period of stronger warming but by fully 25 ppm (five times more) during the later period of weaker warming.
It is interesting to note that the 1930's were the warmest in the US also - I wonder how widespread the 1930's warming actually was or if this is just a co-incidence.

The Goracle's New House

| Al's existing Florida home |
Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a Montecito-area property to their real estate holdings, reports the Montecito Journal.Can't wait for someone to tally up the carbon buttprint of this one.
The couple spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
