Cold stalks a warmist…
But there was something wrong with my bicycle. The wheels wouldn’t go round. I turned the bike over and found to my surprise that they spun freely. I started pushing it up the hill, but again it seemed to be snagged. My friend gallantly offered to swap. But there was something wrong with his bicycle too. It felt absurdly heavy, and the wheels also seemed to be jammed.
Natural selection. Cleansing the gene pool.
Strange that a climate “expert” knows so very little about … climate.
Guess he missed that protest too.. My thats unfortunate… LOL
He so richly deserves his Warmista handle . . . The Moonbat.
I can’t help but notice that this post partly explains the one directly below it. People who think they’re so very, very smart can be very, very ignorant about reality. When I say ignorant I’m not name-calling. I mean they actually do not understand – even though their IQ is higher than average and their educational pedigree is impeccable. Unfortunately the same very, very smart people think we can dispense with reliable, affordable energy. Sadly, no big blonde guy can shake sense into politicians and stop them from listening to the wrong people – those who push policies that will result in energy poverty.
I’m glad that Monbiot survived his brush with death but I’m betting he thinks that this story is a pro-CAGW morality tale. The idea that he might again be wrong, naive and reckless probably wouldn’t occur to him…because he’s so very, very smart.
I believe you may be correct LC…but Moonbat is coming around as much as he can methinks…
Mother Nature is very unforgiving. I think, quite a few summers back, a person died of hypothermia. Just dressed in a t-shirt and shorts.
Perhaps, but science history tells us that those who end up championing the wrong theory/hypothesis rarely move to where the correct science is heading. There’s an old quote that says science only moves forward one funeral at a time for a reason: lots and lots of empirical evidence. I’d be happy to be wrong about Monbiot.
Politicians change faster than scientists but only because voters can kick the bums out of power. Which explains why CAGW activists occasionally admit they lean away from democracy and towards authoritarian government.
Mother Nature is a serial killer.
Usually dies of exposure during a Canadian winter.
Oh my; at least one person usually dies of exposure during a Canadian winter.
Exmoor ponies keep warm by turning their backs to the cold weather.
Since monbiot is a horses ass how could he have gotten hypothermia?
I wonder how he feels about having a word coined from his name meaning “Derogatory term for a liberal activist, implying that s/he is a lunatic” – urban dictionary.
“….my temperature had fallen, I was later told, to half a degree above the point at which they would have lost me.”
Well, thank god he was rescued in time! Liz May,who said Monbiot was one of the greatest journalists in the universe, would have been devastated.
And we’d have had to pay her way to the funeral.
And to be saved by a soldier – the ultimate insult.
Exmoor ponies have something this young fool didn’t – horse-hair coats!
So what George Moonbeam is pointing out is that he almost killed himself out of ignorance yet he believes he is smart enough to tell everyone else how to live? The world is run by crazy people indeed.
I wonder if the Moonbat learned anything from his brush with death. I wonder if has any gratitude for his rescuer? He has that detachment from reality that is the hallmark of our would-be rulers among the scribblers. Lucky for him, a non-Moonbat happened by in time to save his life.
I believe Kathy Shaidle has a t-shirt that says “your’re not smart enough to tell me how to live” or something to that effect. The most obvious question that falls out of that maxim is how does one stop the “elites” from dictating how we should live and using the media to shape/coerce society and politicians into their vision of Utopia? (note how Brigitte Bardot single-handedly killed the Canadian fur industry in the early 70s)
“Mother Nature is very unforgiving.”
Mother Nature doesn’t care.
Sudbury Ontario used to have a bylaw about bikes. you did not even try to take one on the streets in winter. too bad such sanity does not exist today.
