FOXNews.com – Science – 2005 Ties for 2nd Warmest Year Ever, But Cause Still Uncertain

Crucial quote:

“The carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is distributed pretty evenly around the globe and not concentrated in the Arctic, so it doesn’t look like we can blame greenhouse gases for the overwhelming bulk of the Northern Hemisphere warming over the past 27 years,” Christy said. “The most likely suspect for that is a natural climate change or cycle that we didn’t expect or just don’t understand.”

The Rest Of The Story

On January 17, 1893, the Queen Liliuokalani was overthrown, and replaced by a Provisional Government. This Provisional Government concluded an annexation treaty with the United States, that was submitted to the Senate on February 15, 1893 by President Benjamin Harrison. After Cleveland’s inauguration the following month, the treaty was withdrawn from consideration on March 9, 1893.

Cleveland was a friend of Liliuokalani’s, and upon taking office, worked diligently to restore her to the throne. On March 11, 1893, Cleveland called upon Blount to undertake a secret investigation into the overthrow. This investigation by Blount lasted from his arrival in Hawaii on March 29, 1893 until the submission of his final report on July 17, 1893.

Welcome Lana!

Everyone please welcome our latest contributor, Lana Robbins, aka Ululani, aka Super ‘Oiwi Supremist Chick! :D

If you haven’t seen the flames on http://www.hawaiiankingdom.info, suffice it to say that she’s completely convinced that those who are antagonistic to her point of view are by definition, racist. Quite ironic, considering her own evident racism (http://realhapas.com).

Anyway, those are the basics – hopefully a light roasting here will serve to entertain our dear readers.

Oh, and to start off, let me apologize to Lana for my incorrect but understandable assumption that someone who inherits property from their parents is fairly well off – apparently she was below the poverty line while she was going to school at Kamehameha, and I assumed that anyone who could will land in Hawaii to their children had to be well off. Her parents must have made a killing in the stock market when she was in college! :)
