The New York Times throws in the towel.
The Times is discontinuing the Green blog, which was created to track environmental and energy news and to foster lively discussion of developments in both areas.
Meanwhile, there’s trouble down at the Bloggies;
“Reflecting such concern, I have learned that Skeptical Science, who have never lobbied to be nominated and are the only non-climate sceptic blog on the Science shortlist, has now asked to be withdrawn from the shortlist due to its concerns about the legitimacy of the voting process.”
I blame the climate.

NYT green blog shut down… I’ll be losing sleep over this news…. snicker..
SKS withdrew for one reason.The bloggies where set up to PREVENT voter fraud,unlike the SkS’s DemoncRats Call a cheater a cheater.
Meanwhile, Monckton has had enough of the scammers, schemers, liars, cheats, con artists & grifters and has decided to nail them to the Courthouse door.

Good to hear Mikey Mann has to pay Tim Ball for the ridiculous lawsuit he started.
The “climate” of public consciousness is changing Kate. The big lie and the big tantrum woke up a sleeping giant.
For those not familiar with “Skeptical Science” here’s one true skeptic’s opinion:
“Skeptical Science is a climate alarmist website created by a self-employed cartoonist, John Cook. It is moderated by zealots who ruthlessly censor any and all form of dissent from their alarmist position. This way they can pretend to win arguments, when in reality they have all been refuted.”

Where shall we convene the climate fraud trials?
I vote for Churchill Manitoba, where the sentences can be carried out without appeal.
Poor little Cook and fanboys, can’t win fairly, can’t vote early and often, so they’re gonna take their toys and go back to Sceptical Science, or SS for short.
I do wonder, does Cook have the conviction of the previous SS?
Cause they made the same choices.
Great comment at WUWT about the 70s ‘Coming Ice Age
ScamScare’:“The ‘solutions’ always remain the same even though the scare has evolved to the complete opposite claim of what it once was. This is basically a give away that the motivations and goals of these people are political, not scientific. It’s called “…therefore, socialism.” It’s getting too hot, therefore, socialism. It’s getting too cold, therefore, socialism. There are too many people, therefore, socialism. There are too few people, therefore, socialism. Funny, how no matter what the problem is, the solution always seems to be to give a select group of people, with no discernible expertise in any particular subject, more and more of our money and freedom.”
C’est dommage

Thanks Fred, that is good news on both counts. I like to think I helped Dr. Ball a little, well maybe I paid for a few coffees for him.
Hopefully Moncton cleans them out.
Agreed. The commenter says it well.
“has now asked to be withdrawn from the shortlist due to its concerns about the legitimacy of the voting process”
No guilt by association here. This sort of thing is the stuff of hope for me. These people can perhaps be redeemed.

I wonder if America’s First Sasquatch will be on hand for the awards ceremony?!?!?
I confuse easily.
Is it the contention of the environmentalists that the climate should not be changing?
Is it the contention of environmentalists that the Earth should be cooling rather than warming?
Is it the contention of environmentalists that humans are like a virus to the Earth and should not be using its resources?
The only answer that makes sense is that it’s not about the environment at all.
Ken(Kulak) I’m on your side,but Lord Monckton is going to be facing how many corrupt courts? The list is long,with the 1st and most corrupt being the UN? I gave the good Doctor a few of my coffees and doughnuts.Hope they help.
