Y2Kyoto: As I Watch The Snow Gently Falling Outside My Window

How can one person do so much damage to the economy of the world with his Inconvenient B.S.
Then comes Obamagasim and trumps Gore.
This pair will have to face History sooner mor later, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Al Gore: Pitiful, lying coward.

For the life of me I don't know why anyone would believe a politician of any stripe, especially one who profits personally from his message, and double-down that scepticism for an ex-politician who profits personally but won't even defend his ideas.

Anyone who follows such a man on ANY subject is too stupid to live. Retards following scumbags. Shame.

Gore and Obama will be cell mates. This will be payback what with of of Obama's Republican prosecuction threats as of late. Unfortunately Teddy Kennedy won't live long enough to join them on cell block D. Sarah Palin will be the jailer.

Is that the correct spelling for Monckton? I didn't think there was a 'k' in it.

Kate, when someone asks you to paint a motorcycle helmet do you ever ask them why? Afterall the artwork doesn't protect the rider any better. Maybe that would be a good juxtaposition. Al Gore profits from painting pictures too! Seems like the same thing to me; making money from feel good emotions.

Of COURSE it's snowing. That would be because I was working outside today installing some WiMAX radios. Brrr.

Gently falling? Snowed a few days ago , in some areas felt like a total white out due to high winds.

Such clumsy attempts at censorship are signs of the inevitable. The inevitable being the wheels coming off this giant "emperors new clothing" exercise. AGW had it's "jump the shark" moment when dissidents started being compared to Holocaust deniers and Suzuki/Hansen called for jailing those guilty of ideacrime.

The cracks are starting to show:

The Heartland Institute conference in NYC was only ignored rather than derided by compliant and ignorant journalists. Iggy is apparently being trashed by Suzuki for not waving the AGW flag with the required fervor. The Obamateur's carbon tax scheme is bogging down. Gordon Campbell's carbon tax his sinking him a la Stephane Dion.

Hans Christian Andersen had the politics that permeate climate alarmism nailed in 1837. Vindication is coming.

Yes, that's the correct spelling for Monckton. Awkward, isn't it.

Roh roh!

Turns out industry IGNORED its own technical and scientific advisers on "irrefutable climate change data".

John,

This is a 14 year old document. Remember that the earth's temperature has been flat or declining since 1998 and is continuing downward. An inconvenient truth for climate alarmists that they weakly attempt to explain away as a "glitch" or "noise".

This article really only perpetuates two tired canards:

1. That the science on this (or any science for that matter) can be "settled" and is beyond further discussion. That only the stupid or dishonest stray from the "consensus".

2. That science is determined by consensus. When in fact science, unlike politics, is the pursuit of truth.

As we both know, ff these scientists had reported "outside the consensus" in 1995 they would have been long denounced as paid shills.

Fat Albert has consistently ducked any debate on global warming. Fat Albert is smart to do that because he knows he would get creamed. Fat Albert is a fraud but he thinks there are still a few people left to fool so he will carry on for now. Eventually the weight of climate science will force him to find another gig to extract money from the gullible.

"1. That the science on this (or any science for that matter) can be "settled" and is beyond further discussion. That only the stupid or dishonest stray from the "consensus"."

Nobody is saying it is beyond further discussion. Merely that we have significant evidence to safely tell people to make an effort to consume less energy, and legislate manufacturers to begin delivering more efficient items within a reasonable time frame.

2. That science is determined by consensus. When in fact science, unlike politics, is the pursuit of truth.

That's in part how it works. As more studies are released and peer-reviewed, consensus is built. Take evolution for example.

Caught Peter ChromeDome and Bob BadTeeth Mcdonald on the Ceebs yakking about the lack of sunspot action. Seems the Sun isn't paying attention to the "natural cycle" of sunspot activity. They compared it to the mini-iceage of the 1700's when London and the Thames River froze over.

And of course the parting shot was......"The reduced sunspot activity has no effect on global warming". WTH?

Nobody is saying it is beyond further discussion. Merely that we have significant evidence to safely tell people to make an effort to consume less energy, and legislate manufacturers to begin delivering more efficient items within a reasonable time frame.

We can all get on board with consuming less energy and having some common sense standards set for cars and fridges. Only crazy people want to waste energy and despoil natural beauty.

The evidence for AGW, particularly in the last decade or so, it too weak to support the call for massive economic intervention and punitive taxes demanded by climate alarmists.

Everyone should check into it for themselves. You don't need a PHd in atmospheric physics to develop an informed opinion. An undergrad degree in any science or even a good intutitive understanding about the basic principles of statistical analysis and modelling will suffice. Al Gore's background, for example, is an undergrad degree in civics and a few courses in religion.

(PS: Peer review does not equal agreement with conclusions. It means general approval of approach and methodology.)

Al Gore drinks Brawndo. He is aman of the future.

Gore had his mouth open alright today, and the Dems under Al Waxman, saw to it that no dissenters were allowed to participate:

"Gore .... scheduled to testify on Friday to the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment's fourth day of hearings on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009."

"Democrats Refuse to Allow Skeptic to Testify Alongside Gore At Congressional Hearing... UK's Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher,..."

"A GOP House source told Climate Depot that the Democrats on the Committee said “absolutely not” to allowing Monckton to appear during today's Gore hearing. The GOP committee “pushed at multiple levels” to bring Monckton in to testify but the Democrats “refused,” according to the GOP source"

""""That's in part how it works. As more studies are released and peer-reviewed, consensus is built. Take evolution for example.""""

don't care if consensus is built, that can mean that they (who ever) are ALL wrong. And as far as evolution is concerned, there are a lot of unanswered questions, and maybe a few large surprises in store

the whole "climate change" thing is bogus. The methodology does not stand up to scrutiny, nor does the conclusion, there are several different conclusions that could be drawn that are equally valid.

That's in part how it works. As more studies are released and peer-reviewed, consensus is built. Take evolution for example.

Or as Simon & Garfunkel sang, "A man hears what he wants to hear & disregards the rest".

Henry Waxman is an angry little man (in stature as well as character) with no scruples or honour.

Sasquatch; look back into the start of a viral contaminant and its introduction to our blood supply and you will find the name of Henry Waxman, this little pig faced man did more to ruin things in the San Fran area collection process than anyone and got off with no charges. That angry little man is so corrupt he makes Cretien look like the Dali Lama. Heard Monkton many times, he would make Fat Albert look like the fool him and his wife are, remember warning labels on CD's. Please retire Al, your time of extortion is over, along with Davy's. The jig is up!

One would assume if there was a scientific consensus that:

1) There is an agreed to scientific statement. (The world is going to end soon, we need more money, jail people who don't believe us, etc are not scientific statements).

2) There is a list of scientists that have explicitly agreed to that statement.

3) Those scientists that have explicitly agreed to the scientific statement are the majority of scientists.

Show me the statement and list - I can't find it.

When Fat Albert appeared as himself on the underappreciated Matt Groenig series Futurama, he was flogging the global warming agenda, but only half-heartedly. If he really believed in his cause would he subject his ideals to ridicule or was this nothing but free publicity for him? Is he a big fat liar, or does he really believe in this cause? The fact that he owns a company which sells carbon credits makes me think this was nothing but self-promotion and fear-mongering, and he used every available avenue to get his message out to the masses. Some clown gave him a Nobel Prize and then a British outfit discredited nearly every claim he made. How inconvenient.

For him to stick his head up now when everyone is freezing in April and waiting for some good NASA sunspot news, his timing and judgment seems a little off. His minions like Cityoen Dion have disappeared and are collecting EI or welfare. Global warming is colder than yesterday's leftovers at the back of the fridge. Global warming is even colder than the Calgary Flames who are currently having their butts kicked by Chicago. IT's 5-1 in the 2nd. Good grief.

I'm going down for one more beer before bed, so Suzuki had better not be between me and my beer fridge because I'm way too snarly to listen to his leftist enviro-screed at this hour. You should also never get between a she Bear and her Cub. Grrrr!
