In what we interpret as a consequence of normal global weather fluctuations rather than evidence of the veracity of any pseudo-scientific liberal "global warming" agenda, New York City just had its hottest summer ever. How hot was it?

French "Spiderman" Alain Robert was arrested today for scaling a 57-story building in Australia. Robert's agent, who just happened to be on hand, said he was "shocked," and had absolutely no clue it was going to happen.

Inspired by his concern for the future of our planet, Akinori Ito of the Blest Corporation has invented something truly amazing and potentially game-changing for all of us: a machine that converts plastic garbage into oil. It's truly incredible.

Monster making! Russian warming! Frog mountains! Bat extinction! Multiple sclerosis! Hurricane season! Quantum entanglement! Pet meds! And Polish geologists! It's your Friday Science Watch, where we watch your science—while screwing in a light bulb, all alone!

The 2000s were the hottest recorded decade, according to a new NOAA report calling global warming "undeniable." Well riddle me this, "the U.S. National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration": How can there be global warming... if it still snows? [NatGeo]

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's "State of the Climate" report, last month was the warmest June on record worldwide. Last month also saw the lowest recorded level of Artic sea ice. [NOAA]

Earth had its warmest April ever this year. It was the warmest June ever, too: The average global temperature was 61.1 degrees, 1.22 degrees above average. But May was pretty chilly. So, global warming must be a fraud. [PHYSORG]

A British panel has reviewed accusations of climatologists manipulating data and exonerated them. And the most "controversial" scientist from the University of East Anglia has his job back! Not that this matters. The hatchet job against climate change was successful.

Grolar bears have "thick white fur like a polar bear" and "a wide head, brown legs, and brown paws like a grizzly." They happen when global warming drives grizzlies north. Global warming: Cute but deadly. [CBC, SciAm, pic]

Our doom shall come by fire rather than by ice: last month was the hottest April on record, ever. The average global temperature was a balmy 58.1 degrees, 1.37 degrees above average. But...but what about Dr. Drudge's scientific reassurances? [NOAA]

For the first time in 300 years, a gray whale was spotted outside the Pacific Ocean. The stray gray swam to Israel, a sign either of global warming or that a guy named Jonah is gonna get it. [USA Today]

We all know Global Warming is a serious problem, by now everyone has seen An Inconvenient Truth. Singer/Songwriter Ben Sheehan dares to imagine some of the hidden benefits of our changing environment in this music video perfect for Earth Day.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory released images of the sun taken in March that include a "prominence eruption" and other crazy things that can take out satellite communications and power grids on Earth.

In a bizarre illustration of the actual impact jet trails have on temperature, scientists in England say that the grounding of planes across Europe could have an immediate and measurable impact over the continent in the next few days.

"Two sources at the Science Times section of the New York Times have told me that a majority of the section's editorial staff doubts that human-induced global warming represents a serious threat to humanity." -Science writer John Horgan.

Post-Atonement Ian McEwan wrote a satirical global-warming thriller wherein a man tries to pee outdoors in -26F Norway, then experiences shrinkage so severe his dick turns into a frosty popsicle, cracks, and slips out the leg of his pants.

"I'm a natural sceptic," a British-born web publisher says to explain his recent Tweets expressing doubt about the validity of the science behind climate change. Coincidentally, that's the same argument used by everyone who prefers conspiracy theories to science.

Oh good. There are more controversial climate change emails for global warming deniers to salivate over. An investigation by the Guardian revealed that the scientist who tried to cover up contrary data before has other holes in his work. [Guardian]

To make up for melting ice caps and rising sea levels, global warming is also causing trees to grow "two to four times as fast as normal." In the hot, greenhouse-like future, we can all live high up in the trees. It'll be just like Avatar! Once mankind re-establishes a functioning society in our futuristic treescape, we can turn our attention to the swarms of bees set to take revenge for generations of honey-exploitation. They remember faces. They remember everything.

Bin Laden, if he wasn't living in a cave, would apparently drive a Prius. In a new audio message he lays into the US for causing global warming, and singles out George W. Bush for not ratifying the Kyoto treaty.
