Too Much Hot Air

This week Ted Turner called for urgent action to address global climate change, which he referred to as the "single greatest challenge that humanity has ever faced."

Not to be outdone, Al Gore this week said..."Never before has all of civilization been threatened."

I'm no rocket scientist (my brother-in-law Chris is) but, doesn't the body emit Carbon Dioxide (CO2) when breathing?

Therefore to my rudimentary thinking... if they'd just shut their pie holes, maybe they'd have a lot less "Gore Bull" warming to bitch about.

I love how they have to jet all over the world to condemn everyone else, too!

Where's Rube Goldberg when you need him, he could design quite the complex machine to diagram their hypocritical bs!

Hypocritical also, is this U.N. report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Per the main stream media, the report states that "Gore Bull" warming has been very likely caused by man.

Yet, according to the IPCC's own findings...man's role is so uncertain that there is a strong possibility that we have been cooling, not warming, the Earth.

Gore also criticized critics of "Gore Bull" warming..."now they're offering cash for so-called skeptics who will try to confuse people about what the science really say..."

Gore went on to call them unethical!

This coming from a man who's admitted he's overplayed the dangers of "Gore Bull" warming...

"Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an overrepresentation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is..."

Today Gore (who this week alone was in Madrid, Spain, London, England and San Jose, California...did he walk?), will be announcing a concert about "Gore Bull" warming.

AlGoraPaloozer?

Hoping to involve 2 1/2 million people, it is set to take place on July 7 in Washington, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, Capetown and Kyoto.

One could really go Goldberg on the logistics of that with the jets, the electricity, the human waste generated, etc.

Oh the Humanity!

Under the Weather

I've had a cold and have been achy since Tuesday.

I thought I was getting better, but regressed yesterday.

So I'm under the weather...what the hell does that mean?

Isn't everyone, everyday(unless you're in space), under the weather?

It reminds me of a time, a few years ago, when I walked into a clothing store and heard a salesman say..."It's colder than hell."

It was January and it was cold.

Now I'm no Bible scholar, but I'm thinking isn't everyday colder than hell?

I guess I better brush up on hell because it appears that's where I'm headed for denying "Gore Bull" warming!

Ellen Goodman (her slave name?) opined that...By every measure, the U N 's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change raises the level of alarm. The fact of global warming is "unequivocal."

The certainty of the human role is now somewhere over 90 percent.

Which is about as certain as scientists ever get.

I would like to say we're at a point where global warming is impossible to deny.

Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and the other denies the present and future.

How the hell do you make that cataclysmic leap?

First, and foremost, that's an insult to those who perished in the Holocaust and those who survived!

The Holocaust is a proven FACT!

"Gore Bull" warming ISN'T!

Where did the 90% figure come from? Out of her ass like the Holocaust statement?

As I stated yesterday, that per IPCC's own findings...man's role is so uncertain that there is a strong possibility that we have been cooling, not warming, the Earth.

That doesn't sound like 90% to me or even unequivocal!

Goodman then divides SCIENCE into Republican and Dummycrats...

There are astonishing gaps between Republican science and Democratic science.

Try these numbers:Only 23 percent of college-educated Republicans believe the warming is due to humans, while 75 percent of college-educated Democrats believe it.

I've been in the college classes with those Dummycrats, they take in every piece of bs that the professor feeds them and never challenge it!

I remember one time, before the prof got to class, one of my classmates asked what I was going to argue with the prof about that day.

I said it depended on whatever bs he was going to try and slide past us.

Another time a prof made an asinine statement and then asked for questions and comments.

I said I didn't agree with his theory and went on to explain my beliefs.

The prof said he didn't agree.

I replied I didn't ask you to agree, you asked for questions and comments.

I just though it important that these kids hear something other than the drivel you're pouring out.

But, I've digressed!

I'll interject an e-mail I received from my brother-in-law-Chris (the rocket scientist).

It comes from an article by James Lewis

Why Global Warming is Probably a Crock

The human-caused global warming hypothesis is completely model-dependent. We can't directly observe cars and cows turning up the earth thermostat. Whatever the human contribution there may be to climate constitutes just a few signals among many hundreds or thousands...

Scientists are always wrong --- they are just less wrong now than they were before (if everything is going well)...

Now there's a basic fact about complexity that helps to understand this. It's a point in probability theory (eek!) about many variables, each one less than 100 percent likely to be true...

Now imagine that all the variables about global climate are known with less than 100 percent certainty. Let's be wildly and unrealistically optimistic and say that climate scientists know each variable to 99 percent certainty! (No such thing, of course). And let's optimistically suppose there are only one-hundred x's, y's, and z's --- all the variables that can change the climate: like the amount of cloud cover over Antarctica, the changing ocean currents in the South Pacific, Mount Helena venting, sun spots, Chinese factories burning more coal every year, evaporation of ocean water (the biggest "greenhouse" gas), the wobbles of earth orbit around the sun, and yes, the multifarious fartings of billions of living creatures on the face of the earth, minus, of course, all the trillions of plants and algae that gobble up all the CO2, nitrogen-containing molecules, and sulfur-smelling exhalations spewed out by all of us animals. Got that? It all goes into our best math model.

So in the best case, the smartest climatologist in the world will know 100 variables, each one to an accuracy of 99 percent. Want to know what the probability of our spiffiest math model would be, if that perfect world existed? Have you ever multiplied (99/100) by itself 100 times? According to the Google calculator it equals a little more than 36.6 percent.

The Bottom line: our best imaginable model has a total probability of one out of three.

That's why human-caused global warming is an hypothesis, not a fact. Anybody who says otherwise isn't doing science, but trying to sell you a bill of goods.

I received his e-mail on February 7 and his conclusion was...

Unfortunately about 90% of the world's population don't study enough math or
science to understand this probability debate.

So that's where the 90% comes from!

Summer, my time of year

The talking heads on TV were complaining about the warm weather the last couple of days.

The weather wench asked the other two wienies if they'd turned on their air and one had!

I'm sure "Gore-Bull" warming has got something to do with it.

I came across this the other day by another phony fiberal eco-nut...

Flogging the British release of his film "Wild Hogs" recently, John Travolta urged everyone to "do their bit" to combat global warming...

...London's Daily Mail, which quickly calculated that Travolta -- who it says owns at least five aircraft of various sizes, which he parks at his private home/airport in Florida -- leaves an annual "carbon footprint" of pollution nearly 100 times greater than that of the average British citizen.

...Travolta said that even though he is sensitive to the environment, he needs his own planes because it's a big hassle to be a movie star and get around. He also told reporters that the answer to global warming might possibly be to build domed cities in space.

Has he been sharing ideas with Sheryl Crow?

So what's the solution?

According to the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) leading scientists are expected to back a major expansion of nuclear power as a way of saving the world from global warming.

Isn't that the same group that got all the press when they said man was to blame for "Gore-Bull" warming?

That's got to scare all of those who genuflect at the altar of the U.N.

There's no chance the U.N. could be wrong, after all the scientific community is united in that fact.

Or is it?

During the last 10,000 years climate has been seesawing between the North and South Atlantic Oceans. As revealed by findings presented by Quaternary scientists at Lund University, Sweden, cold periods in the north have corresponded to warmth in the south and vice verse. These results imply that Europe may face a slightly cooler future than predicted by IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Summertime is the best time anyplace
Cuz its summer, summertime is here
Yes its summer, my time of year

(Words are by WAR, but its my sentiments exactly)

Baby It's Cold Outside

The U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change is taking place in Poland, where they are working to replace the Kyoto Protocol.

Ironically, the 11,000 registered will release more than 13,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the earth's atmosphere and has the U.N. conceding that its forum will likely contribute to Gore-BULL Warming.

That fits right in with these other hypocrites.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Speaking of the scientific community, Debra J. Saunders recently wrote...

When the Warmest in History Isn't

When science reporters write about, say, hormone therapy or drinking red wine, they report on studies that find that hormones or red wine can be good for you, as well as studies that suggest otherwise. Any science involving complex organisms is rarely black and white.

...a UC San Diego science historian who reviewed 928 abstracts of peer-reviewed articles on global warming published between 1993 and 2003, and concluded, "Remarkably, none of the papers disagreed with the consensus position."

Over 10 years, not one study challenged the orthodoxy — does that sound right to you? If that were true, it would strongly suggest that, despite conflicting evidence in this wide and changing world, no scientist dares challenge the politically correct position on the issue.

No wonder, David Bellamy — an Australian botanist who was involved in some 400 TV productions, only to see his TV career go south after he questioned global warming orthodoxy — wrote in The Australian last week, "It's not even science anymore; it's anti-science." Bellamy notes that official data show that "in every year since 1998, world temperatures have been getting colder, and in 2002 Arctic ice actually increased." Exhibit B: Richard S. Lindzen, the MIT Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, recently wrote, "There has been no warming since 1997 and no statistically significant warming since 1995."

...The Global Warming Petition Project urges Washington to reject the Kyoto international global warming pact as there is "no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate." So far, The Politico reports, more than 31,000 scientists have signed it.

Global Warming's Real Cause?

As part of their ongoing Warm-Mongering, the Ragister ran another in their series on Iowa's Changing Climate.

The article was ill timed because they cite Iowan James Hansen as a climate expert, the same James Hansen that I had noted earlier on Sunday had committed several major mistakes regarding Gore-BULL Warming (The Heat Is On?)

Naturally you didn't read about those errors in the Ragister, or other Fiberal American newspapers, because it doesn't fit their agenda and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Hansen's biggest mistake about Gore-BULL Warming is probably two fold.

First, Hansen has not seen the connection between the sun shining on his increasingly bald head that is thereby reflected back into the atmosphere causing a huge hole in the ozone.

(Note the first picture is believed from circa 1988 and the second is 2008.)















Secondly, the heat on his head is obviously frying his brain!

Good Timing

You need good timing for comedy and Gore-BULL warming protests.

On a day that the mayor of Washington D.C. has declared a snow emergency, with an expected 6 to 10 inches of snow, several thousand people are supposed to take part in the largest protest of Gore-BULL warming ever in the U.S.

Iowan (Idiot Of Warming At NASA) James Hansen is expected to speak at the event.

If these "CLIMATARDS" really want to do something useful, pick up a shovel and clear some sidewalks because that much snow will shut down D.C. and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Ides of August

August is traditionally referred to as the Dog Days of Summer.

In lieu of the Iowa State Fair, some are calling it the Corn Dog Days of Summer.

There are days when it has even been a little warm for me, sans breeze.

Per The Washington Post we'd better get used to it...

Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt

...great masses of ice have now been replaced by moraines of earth and stones.

...at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

If you clicked the Post link and didn't find the article, it's because it appeared November 2, 1922!

"Gore-bull" warming before "Gore-bull" warming was cool?

A study by the Business & Media Institute found that media, such as The New York Times, Newsweek, Time and I'm sure The Washington Post, have warned about impending climate doom four different times in the past 100 years.

Sounds cyclical and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Nutbush City Limits

The same week that saw me return from Maui to 3 plus inches of snow in April, the Gore-bull warming goofballs gathered again.

In Michigan they gathered in snow, rain and temperatures that were 10 degrees below normal.

When asked about the weather, an organizer said...

"I think that's an easy excuse, but if we're really reasonable about it..."

That's just it, YOU'RE NOT!


Watching the news I saw what looked like 10 people at a downtown Des Moines rally.

The report said turnout was higher than they had hoped...HA!

The Ragister reported there were more than 100...Ooh!

The TV news interviewed Ed Fallon, who pulled an Al Gore, by saying humans are the main cause of Gore-bull warming and the scientific community is united in that fact.

THEY'RE NOT!

Just because you say it all the time doesn't make it true O.J. Simpson!

I am going to try and use that quote in every blog posting and every conversation, and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Poor Ed.

I used to respect him, but he seems to have fallen on hard times.

He gave up a safe seat in the Iowa House, where he doubled or tripled his annual income to over $18,000 when first elected, because he got goofy and thought he could be governor.

I wonder if that's what broke up his marriage?

His wife has a steady job... as a harpist with the Des Moines Symphony.

I'm so confused

I thought the scientific community is united in the fact that "Gore-bull" warming is at a crisis level.

As I read the snowman's sign it looks like we should be doing more to warm the globe.

Chris & I are on board with our new slogan, "Cold is STUPID!"

It sounds like Greenpeace is too.

They sponsored an event at the Capitol Saturday, Step It Up.

"Gore-bull" warming surely can't be a concern if only about 50 people turned out to hear Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie and former South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle.

While watching football last night I couldn't help but notice NBC/Universal's "Green is Universal" theme.

They interviewed Matt Lauer, of the Today show, in Greenland and I'm sure he mentioned the long walk he took to get there from New York and how Ann Curry swam to Antarctica because they didn't believe in any of that phony practice of buying carbon offsets for their winging the world.

Lauer did say they'd be..."interviewing the best minds on this subject, like former Vice President Al Gore".

HA!

By the way the Sunday Night Football crew shut down the lights at halftime, using candles & flashlights to conduct their business.

Keith Olbermann could be heard pissing and moaning about the lack of light.

Olbermann used to be good on ESPN, but he's become a lunatic on his Countdown show and is a distraction on SNF.

Case in point; while reading the highlights of the Patriots-Colts game Olbermann mentioned the score at one point the Patriots lead 7-3 and then 7-6.

Wrapping up the highlights Olbermann said the Patriots were behind the whole game.

You can't have a lead early and be behind the whole game.

Hooray for the rocks & the dirt

I turned on the news this Earth Day morning and I noticed one Channel was highlighting all the Earth Day festivities around Central Iowa people could take in.

There's a good idea, driving to all the Earth Day events!

Last week Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie drove by himself from one Gore-bull warming event in Ames to another in Des Moines.

He justified it by saying he drove a hybrid vehicle.

The scientific community is united in the fact it would have been better if he rode a bike.

Ah eco-nuts!

A couple of things that really irritate me about these phonies is that America is always the villain.

Is it coincidence that Earth Day falls on the birth date of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin?

Also, the eco-nuts never acknowledge the improvements made in the environment.

For example, In a previous post I mentioned the books I read in Maui.

One book, "The Only Game In Town" by Faye Vincent, had a story from one time Pittsburgh Pirate Ralph Kiner.

Kiner talked about his arrival in Pittsburgh in 1947 and how at 10 in the morning the smog and soot in the air was so bad that he though it was midnight.

Eco-nuts.

Gore-bull warming.

As V. I. Lenin said, "Useful Idiots".

Oscar Oscar!

Al Gore's schlockumentary, about Gore-bull warming, received two Academy Award nominations today.

Ironically the same day that weather prognosticators suggested that the cold weather expected to hit the U.S. Midwest between Jan. 28 and Feb. 1 will now persist longer than previously expected.

Some forecasters are calling for "the coldest outbreak in years" for large parts of the U.S. between Feb. 2-6.

What happened to Gore-bull warming? Where's El-Nino?

As I told my wife Chris recently, "I hate winter".

I then corrected it to, "I don't mind winter when we're in Maui, I hate winter in Iowa".

Word is that Gore will attend the show next month and will walk the red carpet.

He's scheduled to fly out in his solar powered jet and arrive by solar powered limo, cuz he's carbon neutral after all!

I forgot to remember

An article in The New York Times helped jog my feeble mind about "An Inconvenient Truth".

During one of the "non political" rants against Republicans, Al Gore criticizes a one time Bush Administration official for not being a scientist.

He complains that this official is editing information about "Gore Bull" warming and insinuates he's in the pocket of Big Oil.

What?

How is it possible for a non scientist to be so deeply involved in how scientific information is provided to the public?

That's right, it's ok if you're a Fiberal Dummycrat!

Although Mr. Gore is not a scientist...

“I am trying to communicate the essence of it in the lay language that I understand.”

Bought and paid for by Big Oil?

Not Dr. Don J. Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology at Western Washington University...

I don’t want to pick on Al Gore,”...Easterbrook... told hundreds of experts at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America.

“But there are a lot of inaccuracies in the statements we are seeing, and we have to temper that with real data.”

He hotly disputed Mr. Gore’s claim that “our civilization has never experienced any environmental shift remotely similar to this” threatened change.

Nonsense, Dr. Easterbrook told the crowded session. He flashed a slide that showed temperature trends for the past 15,000 years. It highlighted 10 large swings, including the medieval warm period. These shifts, he said, were up to “20 times greater than the warming in the past century.”

Getting personal, he mocked Mr. Gore’s assertion that scientists agreed on global warming except those industry had corrupted. “I’ve never been paid a nickel by an oil company,” Dr. Easterbrook told the group. “And I’m not a Republican.”

Al Gore has admitted that he fudges the facts...

"Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an overrepresentation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is..."

What does "overrepresentation" mean?

“Nowhere does Mr. Gore tell his audience that all of the phenomena that he describes fall within the natural range of environmental change on our planet,” Robert M. Carter, a marine geologist at James Cook University in Australia, said in a September blog. “Nor does he present any evidence that climate during the 20th century departed discernibly from its historical pattern of constant change.”

I guess it could mean that!

A couple of other things that came back to me about the schlockumentary.

You see Al Gore an quite a few shots either driving, being chauffeured and flying.

There's also his interest in strip mining, which reminded me of this August 2006 USA Today commentary...

Gore's home in Carthage is sitting on a zinc mine. Gore receives $20,000 a year in royalties from Pasminco Zinc, which operates a zinc concession on his property. Tennessee has cited the company for adding large quantities of barium, iron and zinc to the nearby Caney Fork River.

Is that the same river that runs through the movie?

I little too ironic, don't ya think.

'Bout Damn Time

In an interview with the Associated Press, Al Gore said that renovations are nearly complete to make his Nashville home a model "green" home.

"This plan has been in the works for a long time."

What's a long time to Gore?

Gore's renovation project, which he said has been in the works for months...

Months?

I believe he's owned this 10,000 square foot monstrosity since at least 2001!

What about his two other homes?

I think it's the one in Carthage that has a zinc mine and an oil well.

It's obvious that this is in direct response to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.

That group, in February, made public Gore's electrical use for 2006.

Gore characterized that as a "...misleading attack by a global-warming denier group."

That's interesting because in February this is what the group said about "Gore-bull" warming...

...it's unclear whether global warming is caused by humans...

Hardly a denial.

I guess what a Gore spokesperson said then fits now...

"Sometimes when people don't like the message...it's convenient to attack the messenger."

That same spokesperson said...

Focusing on Gore's personal electricity consumption misses the point of An Inconvenient Truth...

The Fiberal point is the always hypocritical "do as I say, not as I do" and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Name Game

Not just Postponed, the CLIMATARDS want to cancel Gore-BULL Warming altogether.

The problem with global warming, some environmentalists believe, is “global warming.”

The term turns people off, fostering images of shaggy-haired liberals, economic sacrifice and complex scientific disputes, according to extensive polling and focus group sessions conducted by ecoAmerica...

Plus, you look damn stupid (and the scientific community is united in that fact) when the Earth has seen global temperatures flatline since 2001 despite rising greenhouse gas concentrations.

Check out what ecoAmerica says about itself...

ecoAmerica is an environmental non-profit that uses psychographic research, strategic partnerships and engagement marketing to shift personal and civic choices of environmentally agnostic Americans.

"psychographic"?

That's PSYCHObabble and Bonana Fanna Fo, FONY!

Rare Earth

I prefer mine medium well.

Get Ready, cause here it comes.

07/07/07 & Live Earth.

Don't they know it's the end of the world?

A Daily Mail investigation has revealed that far from saving the planet, the extravaganza will generate a huge fuel bill, acres of garbage, thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions, and a mileage total equal to the movement of an army.

The most conservative assessment of the flights being taken by its superstars is that they are flying an extraordinary 222,623.63 miles between them to get to the various concerts - nearly nine times the circumference of the world. The true environmental cost, as they transport their technicians, dancers and support staff, is likely to be far higher.

The total carbon footprint of the event, taking into account the artists' and spectators' travel to the concert, and the energy consumption on the day, is likely to be at least 31,500 tonnes of carbon emissions, according to John Buckley of Carbonfootprint.com, who specialises in such calculations.

Throw in the television audience and it comes to a staggering 74,500 tonnes. In comparison, the average Briton produces ten tonnes in a year.

The concert will also generate some 1,025 tonnes of waste at the concert stadiums - much of which will go directly into landfill sites.

Moreover, the pop stars headlining the concerts are the absolute antithesis of the message they promote - with Madonna leading the pack of the worst individual rock star polluters in the world.

Oh the hypocrisy!

Tweedle Dum Al (the 2nd), the father of Gore-bull warming, should be acting more like a father and trying to save his son (the 3rd).

I guess I shouldn't expect too much, his father (the 1st) was an asshole too and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Tweedle Dee Hellary weighed in on the concert...

"The scientific consensus is clear and overwhelming: we are causing the planet to warm, with potentially devastating consequences to ourselves and our children. We need to take immediate steps to address this problem, and I applaud everyone who is participating in Live Earth for demanding action..."

CON sensus is more like it.

In an article entitled...

Alarmist global warming claims melt under scientific scrutiny.

Many of the assertions Gore makes in his movie, ''An Inconvenient Truth,'' have been refuted by science, both before and after he made them.

Then there's this article...

Global warming debunked

Man's contribution to the greenhouse gases was so small we couldn't change the climate if we tried.

What about?

Oldest DNA ever recovered shows warmer planet

Scientists who probed two kilometers (1.2 miles) through a Greenland glacier to recover the oldest plant DNA on record said the planet was far warmer hundreds of thousands of years ago than is generally believed.

(Aaahh) Get ready, cause here I come (on my way)...

CONsensus

Gore-BULL warming?

Talk about misnaming a movement!

It appears that THE debate is over and I didn't even have to do a basic Google search to find it out...

Temperature Monitors Report Widescale Global Cooling

China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years...

In addition to Record levels of Antarctic sea ice...

All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data.

All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

...a value large enough to wipe out nearly all the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time...

Let's hope those factors stop fast. Cold is more damaging than heat. The mean temperature of the planet is about 54 degrees. Humans -- and most of the crops and animals we depend on -- prefer a temperature closer to 70.

Historically, the warm periods such as the Medieval Climate Optimum were beneficial for civilization. Corresponding cooling events such as the Little Ice Age, though, were uniformly bad news.

I, along with others, will sport the moniker "global warming deniers" along with proud member of the "vast right-wing conspiracy" and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Al Gore, give back your Oscar and Nobel!

You phonies, and Chicken Little's, need to admit you're wrong!

No Mo Rocca

Dick Cheney was actually funny at the Radio & TV Correspondents Dinner last night.

He started off donning his fly fishing hat and sunglasses and stating...

"You'd be amazed at how many guys want to go fishing with me these days."

He also did a pimp job on Gore-BULL warming...

"...with every passing day the evidence has been catching my attention. I have no doubt, none at all, that we are in the midst of a global warming. Or, as I prefer to call it...SPRING."

"And I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but it's going to get a lot warmer before it gets cooler."

Cheney reeled them in with...

"Mo used to host a TV show called Things I Hate About You. I'm sure I've seen that program, only I believe it's now called Countdown With Keith Olbermann."

Mitt Romney was terrific with his Top Ten Reasons why he dropped out.

Among them...

"There weren't as many Osmond's as I had thought."

"I'd rather get fat, grow a beard and try for the Nobel Prize."

"Once my wife Ann realized I couldn't win, my fund raising dried up."

As for Mo Rocca, he was more like MACACA and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Heat Is On?

Last month was said to be the hottest October on record according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

Turns out it's the Great Global Cooling Charlie Brown, because figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.

That'll put frost on the pumpkin and the scientific community is united in that fact.

NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies is run by Dr. James Hansen and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures...

If there is one scientist more responsible than any other for the alarm over global warming it is Dr Hansen, who set the whole scare in train back in 1988 with his testimony to a US Senate committee chaired by Al Gore. Again and again, Dr Hansen has been to the fore in making extreme claims over the dangers of climate change.

Yet last week's latest episode is far from the first time Dr Hansen's methodology has been called in question. In 2007 he was forced...to revise his published figures for US surface temperatures, to show that the hottest decade of the 20th century was not the 1990s, as he had claimed, but the 1930s.

It seems Gore-BULL Warming is man made...UP!

Hellary's Frigid

You always new she was a heartless, cold fish and the scientific community is united in that fact.

From Ben Smith's Blog at Politico.com

Unintended resonance of the night

"When the Republicans turn over our energy policy to the oil companies and deny global warming what do we do?"

"Turn up the heat!"

I got your "Gore-bull" warming.

So What Else Is New

Damn!

I missed the Dummycrat debate last night.

Actually, because I didn't watch it doesn't mean I missed it.

After all it was the "do as I say, not as I do crowd".

Want proof?

A flock of small jets took flight from Washington Thursday, each carrying a Democratic presidential candidate to South Carolina for the first debate of the political season.

...No one jet pooled, no one took commercial flights to save money, fuel or emissions.

As I recall, this week began with Earth Day and several candidates speaking out about "Gore-Bull" warming in Iowa.

Writing of Al Gore, here's his latest...

The sixth annual Tribeca Film Festival opened Wednesday night at a gala hosted by former Vice President Al Gore as the festival expanded its social mission with a slate of global warming-themed films.

The festival, which was founded after the Sept. 11 attacks to rejuvenate Lower Manhattan, opened with the premiere of nine short films produced by SOS (Save Our Selves), an organization to raise awareness on climate change.

I think SOS really stands for Same Old Shit.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.
