Posted by: pete at October 10, 2009 12:33 AMThe warmers/PETA seek to snuff people AND puppies. Remember the PETA people caught picking up strays at shelters to be adopted (for a fee) and then needling them and disposing of them in dumpsters?
Seems to me the enviro-nuts seldom have pets....

Eventually, there may be some good come out of this mother-of-all-frauds.
- In the future, Politicians will come under more intense scrutiny.
- It will be a long time before the media is trusted again.
- Scientists will have to be worth their pay.
- Professors will face a very skeptical student.
- A disgraced public school system will face competition.
- The public has learned that Cult Leaders will use any tool available to them - even the weather.
Lots of downsides, though.
- Worthy environmentalists will not have an easy time of it because of the broad brush stain.
- Duped school children will be bitter for a long time.
- Billion$ wasted on flawed science and fraudulent energy schemes.
- Thousands, millions even, will face middle age with no career and no prospects. (Imagine having 'I worked for Gore and Suzuki on your resume' !!)

And here in deficit ridden Alberta we have Ed our very own saviour going to spend 2.5 billion saving us, from evil carbon, by "secastration" of the Alberta tax-payer. No money for hospital long term beds, no money for chiropractor visits for the working man, but Ed ponys up for Gorrys BIG SCAM 2.5 billion. What an embarrasment this whole money theft has been for mankinds thinkers, but good for the theives amongst us. You are so correct Ron, we havn't heard from John Cross and the other global warming Jonestownists for a long time. -22 here on October 10 in southern Alberta.

Posted by: Knacker at October 10, 2009 1:19 AMNot quite as toxic as Jimmy Jones' Kool Aid (although contextually about the same relationship to reality) but child abuse none the less. It seems that when it is mass hysteria as opposed to a small group or individual, it is socially acceptable.
Ron, you are optimistic in that you predict justice for these fraud perps. I predict that they will, without a trace of humility, move on to the next contrived crisis. I would like to see Al Gore bet his entire worldly fortune on the climate warming measurably over the next 5 or 10 years. He would never do that any more then he would take up his long standing invitation to debate the issue with Steve Milloy.

This is the truth. Just look at the whole DDT episode. Millions dead, and no one -- NO ONE -- brought to account.
Posted by: Colin from Mission B.C. at October 10, 2009 1:42 AMI think the "grown-ups had to do something" bit was supposed to actually mean something.
Pillory me, but scaring children has never been a goal of enlightened societies.
Chuckles for lunacy galore, but there were only 319 views of that fairy tale video when I checked, possibly from many of your readers.
To the sure regret of the author of the fairy tale, many more hilarious cartoons about "The Sky is Falling" can be found at youtube.
However for scientific research on "global warming" or "climate change" I refer your readers to Friends of Science:
http://www.friendsofscience.org/
Posted by: AEK at October 10, 2009 1:58 AMThere are 319 views on Youtube, AEK, but it's not a Youtube release, it's a U.K. television ad that targets the concerns of parents and those members of the general public people who don't regularly go to WAWT or friendsofscience - 99 percent of the population, in other words. Such ads, in conjunction with TV *news coverage* are part of a de facto campaign to elicit public support for a giant money-transfer scheme.
This is a propaganda/political issue, not a scientific one, so those who yawn away the matter on the basis that the science of AGW is speculative at best, and fraudulent at worst, are sort of missing the point; Science isn't what motivates the Al Gores or the night-of-the-living-dead enviro-whack-jobs, and the western governments who rely on the electorate in order to stay in power only care, obviously, about what the public believes, because that's their job.
The ad is not just disgusting, it's eerie, because it's like watching a real-life ministry of misinformation and propaganda. Just the latest installment, I know, but it's grotesque, this notion of "If you love your kids, you'll support a giant internationalist money-transfer scam." The real-world implication of such violently mawkish propaganda is that your neighbours who have a different view than you on account of their actually being aware of the fraudulent science behind it are living, breathing apostates who are a peril to your family and your children.

It is now almost 2400. Nice to see it is maintaining a one star rating.
Posted by: AtlanticJim at October 10, 2009 7:23 AMNothing like a little fear mongering with the kids. When I was that age, all I had to worry about was the boogey man.
Posted by: Watcher at October 10, 2009 7:30 AMIt is stated that in the future, historians would look back at this time wondering what the fuss was all about. Unfortunately, the history books will be re-written before then to explain how the goreacle saved the planet by turning us all into socialist/fascist serfs.
The best way to fight back is to stop -- or at least minimise as much as possible -- doing business with any entity that subscibes to this garbage. And, let them know that you are ceasing to do business with them and why.
Posted by: Mike T at October 10, 2009 7:58 AMClassic old marketing technique. When you can't convince the adults or when the product is flawed in some way, aim your pitch at the kids and let them whine and fret until the adults do something. As for me, I'd be turning off the TV, if I had one.
Posted by: Louise at October 10, 2009 8:10 AMPoll after poll suggests adults, in North America at least, aren't buying it. I wonder if we could orchestrate a massive show of protesters carrying placards like the 9/12 bunch did. We need to get the attention of the politicians before they throw any more of our hard earned tax dollars down the vortex.
Posted by: Louise at October 10, 2009 8:21 AMHarper was right . . . the whole thing is socialist plot to suck money out of western economies to help the 3rd world.
"Kevin Libin: Copenhagen plan could wreck global economy"
For a global gathering ostensibly designed to harness international ingenuity to arrest global warming, the United Nations Copenhagen Climate Conference at least has a fitting name. The website advertising UNCC seems to fit the bill, too, with the requisite photos of spewing smokestacks, parched landscapes and natural disasters juxtaposed with wind turbines and adorable penguins.
All the more odd, then, that the draft treaty being proposed for the December meeting devotes roughly as much of its text to new foreign aid programs as it does to a plan to reduce greenhouse gases."
Kevin Libin NAILS it.

Posted by: wuberman at October 10, 2009 8:33 AMAll three of my daughters(22, 18 and 15)have stated that the only counter to the whole AGW thing in their life is me.
They are all little greenie's, but at least they do not subscribe to the doom and gloom, and I have encouraged them to ask questions.
As far as their teachers and friends are concerned though.......damn enviro-nazis.
Maybe it is time that us deniers came out of the closet and held simultaneous "denier's pride parades" (leave the groping to the other "pride" parades).

Posted by: grok at October 10, 2009 9:21 AMSnowing here in Thunder Bay this morning. Yep, gotta love that AGW! If someone reminds me that it's "climate change", they may lose an eye. Heck give Obama the Peace Prize but shouldn't Gore have to give back the Science? Prize? They could give it to the guy who found the cure for maldives.

What dimwits these twits are. All the media/ad people are living way beyond most of the general population's carbon footprint and they have the NERVE to tell the rest of us to pull back and conserve???
I don't usually talk this way, but F-THEM.

Posted by: Darrell at October 10, 2009 10:36 AMA well put together ad with a salient message. Thanks. I'll make sure our local schools are aware of it and hence may incorporate it into their curriculum section dealing with climate change.
Posted by: T at October 10, 2009 10:40 AMFraud perpeTraitors of the past were able to move on without humiliation because the media lives by fraudulent news reporting. I think it will be a different story in the Internet age. Too many people were publicly revealing the truth for too many years for anyone to plead ignorance.

Fred: "Harper was right . . . the whole thing is socialist plot to suck money out of western economies to help the 3rd world."'
One need only to have listened to Nicholas Stern on Alan Gregg last evening to know that this is true -- AGW is all about taking your money and giving it to someone else. I only hope that Harper is able to successfully and sufficiently resist the forces of Copenhagen, and that Canadians would understand that this is the only reasonable thing to do.

Posted by: Speedy at October 10, 2009 11:56 AMThese people are vile.CO2 is essential for mankind to survive and these twits want to limit it.I equate them with the Brits that taxed salt in India and made it a crime to evaporate their own.Ghandi made a trek to the sea,which every step was resisted by the Brits,evaporated sea water,and with that small step,paved the way for the independence of India.

Yeah right! Oil for Food writ large.
Posted by: Mike Wa at October 10, 2009 1:29 PMI know some progressives who find modern technology confusing and frustrating. (How to connect an antenna and DVD player to a TV is beyond them.) They deeply hate living in the modern world and long for the simplicity of the Middle Ages. (Not to mention longing for a time when the ruling classes--church and nobility--"took care of" the lower classes. All very comforting.)

MY granny used to think the "Love Boat " was the pit of human darkness. This is what happens when a culture that believes in nothing but a religion called pseudo-science ( real science is now under attack). It ends up accepting any old myth for reality. The Governments who have destroyed the education system to promote there vile social engineering. Will soon find out what systematic superstition does, by making a religion out of Earth worship.
The last people to do this where known as Canaanites. Human sacrifice became the norm. Just like abortion. They don't exist anymore nor the Carib Indians for similar reasons. We have done one better. We have stole generations of wealth to feed a man made Chimera. That has only one purpose.
Destroy the Wests industrial capacity, while feeding the East unlimited growth. Denude us of population. Annihilate democracy with individual liberties.
Than just walk in & take over.
This is the vision of the self loathing Liberal.

Time to cut the socialist hand off, keep them from poisoning the kiddies, and then tell the socialists to shove it where the sun don't shine.
These are the same people, the environmentalists, that want to abort the kiddies in the first place.
We can't let them propagandize the kids and give them a pass on killing children too.
The people who are pro-AGW aren't pro-children, they aren't pro-future, they aren't pro-life.
They are progressive, they are pro-death.
