Return of the Hockey Stick

Despite years of being told that defects in prior hockey stick temperature reconstructions “don’t matter” because the Hockey Stick “doesn’t “matter”, the first figure of new IPCC Summary for Policy-Makers is a Hockey Stick.

When ordinary Canadians hear the phrase “warmest in more than 100,000 years”, very few know that Canada was under a mile of ice for most of that period. So when Michael Mann and IPCC zealots demand that we “Make the Climate Great Again”, people, especially Canadians, need to think whether the climate was really all that “great” in the Ice Age, when there was a mile of ice over most of Canada

  1. Wonder where all the “W” people were when there was a mile of ice covering their current indigenous homelands?

    1. Hey settler.
      Settle down, Trudeau has a plan…

      Haaaa….haaaa…ha.
      Ops sorry, couldn’t help myself.

      1. He has settled. In Canada. Just like all those “settlers” flowing across the So. US border. The indigenous peoples had no ability to stem the flow of settlers … and neither does America … evidently? We are simply powerless to stop the invasion. Right?

  2. here’s a map of Canada 20,000 years ago. We’re lucky that we live now and not then.”

    Pretty sure when a comet struck the ice sheet 13,000 years ago it wouldn’t been a day at the beach either.

  3. Everyday a new lie, a new fantasy. The stupid bastards are comedians and don’t seem to understand that none of the audience gives a fuck anymore.
    A new strain of bullshit. And the 5th wave of Propaganda is underway.
    And the new Pride Parade has started even though they all have prolapsed their anus’s.
    Send in the clowns

  4. It should be pointed out that Michael Mann tossed out every tree ring sample that didn’t match his hypothesis, and he threw out a lot of them. That’s how he arrived at the hokey schtick grift. Science? No. Scientism? Yes.

    1. Yes. The Russians had a done a MUCH bigger tree-ring survey very near by, but the gaping sphincters Mann and Briffa narrowed the US survey down to 12 trees – then chose just one to develop the graph they wanted.

      Very science-y folks, nothing to see here! Let the experts tell us how to live.

      1. It probably doesn’t really need to be pointed out, but the Russian survey showed nothing unusual in terms of temperature rise.

  5. The Weather Network added a climate change monitor to its app. They are proving to be the kookaloos Don Cherry called them a while back.

  6. As yet another example of our bought and paid for media, when I pointed out in the comment section of a yet another CBC doomsday climate article that the Liberal policy is to INCREASE the shipments of oil which will increase emissions, the moderator disabled my comment. I then pointed out to the moderator that I was referring to an article which stated exactly that on the CBC website. No doubt the article will disappear soon.

  7. About that snow in Brazil a couple of weeks ago…
    I Know, I know it’s winter down there!
    Brazil??

  8. Two words: Isostatic Rebound. Tell your average ecotard what it stands for and watch their head explode.

    1. Visit Hudson’s Bay. The perfect example. It was Ice Age Central in Canada. Still rebounding.

  9. Pure written bovine excrement, not fit for the paper that it is printed on. Creating a panic for the purposes of manipulating and controlling the masses – to enslave humanity through perpetual fear and promise of government salvation (that never comes).

  10. About twenty years ago, an IPCC team made a presentation to Environment Canada in which they pointed out the global changes which they were projecting to occur over the next century or so. Someone pointed out to the Deputy Minister of the day that the warming would have a large beneficial impact for Canada by lengthening growing seasons and over time expanding northward the fertile region of Canada and increased crop variety.

    Much obfuscation ensued from the putative authors of what would become IPCC AR4, and nothing like this made it into the staff report to the Minister. This is why the whole thing has become an advertising gimmick. “Global warming” became “climate change” became “climate disruption” became “climate catastrophe”. The tactics are essentially no different than trying to sell you a different brand of laundry detergent.

  11. The weaker the case gets, the bigger the lie gets, in direct proportion to shrillness and cancel woke you to death censorship.
    The 100,000 year was an easy tell. No MWP? Oh that was just regional? Ice core samples say umm no. Aww, they got damaged.
    Junk science from day one. Humans are 5% of CO2 which is .04% of the atmosphere and dwarfed by water vapour as GHG.
    And our little addition to our little contribution is catastrophically warming the world. How can be people be so gullible?
    Due to the ongoing march of Marxism, aka progressivism, aka Frankfurt School of IYIs, aka CRT and Lincoln Projects.
    Now at a gallop with covid now making curing the common cold the mission for all humanity, even if it kills them.
    Because it will have saved lives because we get to ignore every other demise, like when statist borrow and spend.
    Because none of it matters, like Mafia dons, money goes into the treasury and being handed out the back door at a discount.
    Because it’s not their money; it’s yours. And we’re letting them do it. And they’re crushing the poor they’re supposed to help.
    With the tax system our main contributor to poverty. And you’re next when they really start running out of your money.
    It will be way too late, maybe so now, because they will have you cowed into sheltering in place, masking, afraid of the plague.
    The sweet spot to explain away the depravity they’ve inflicted with their corruption, climate change their next attack on liberty.

      1. Yes, ice core samples show this – a direct cause and effect relationship between temperatures and solar activity.
        As if anybody need to be told that, but apparently a miniscule increase of atmospheric GHGs will superheat the earth?
        But like moon landing hoax and flat earth conspiracists just move onto another irrelevancy when their nonsense is outed.

        Even though the author below twists himself in logical knots trying to explain away temperature changing factors other than CO2, and even human emissions, he is forced to acknowledge the obvious that we couldn’t possibly “know.”

        if higher temperatures lead to more CO2 and more CO2 leads to higher temperatures, why doesn’t this positive feedback lead to a runaway greenhouse effect? There are various limiting factors that kick in, the most important being that infrared radiation emitted by Earth increases exponentially with temperature, so as long as some infrared can escape from the atmosphere, at some point heat loss catches up with heat retention.”

  12. Don’t you know that only white people emit co2?

    Here in Canada our main stream media has experts telling us we should buy smaller houses,
    drive smaller cars, or electric cars,
    we should stop eating beef,
    and we should even have less kids…
    as all those things produce too much co2… which will supposedly make the planet so hot we will all die.

    But those same people are telling us we should open our arms,
    open our hearts
    and open our borders
    ( and open our wallets )
    to TENS of Millions of non-white refugees, illegals and various types of migrants.

    Apparently increasing our population by 10, 50 or even by 100 million with non-whites will not increase how much co2 we emit.

    Colored people – we are to believe – don t emit co2 even when they drive a gasoline burning car!

    And asking why is racist.

    Only white people emit co2.

    if you think it is unscientific to say only whites emit co2 you are a science denier AND a racist!

    so shut up!

    and get with the program !

    1. Coloured people emit far less CO2 than non-whites because they either walk or take public transit to their menial jobs as nannies or gardeners or kitchen staff or labourers. So that’s why the Eloi embrace their arrival in droves to provide a never ending supply of cheap labour.

      1. Also it makes the elites and wannabes feel good about themselves. A bit of virtue signalling provides as much of a frisson as does Schadenfreud does when perceived bad things happen to conservatives

  13. As madness descends on western civilization, the mass hysteria has emboldened the rent-seekers that feed the hysteria desired by their sociopathic looters supplying the rent. Fascist governments and their global uber fascist UN will ensure no significant contrary voices are heard. Pure hysteria masked with a thin veneer of pseudo-scientism.

  14. And who will tell the termites to cut back?

    Termites produce more CO2 each year than all living things combined

    Scientists have calculated that termites alone produce ten times as much carbon dioxide as all the fossil fuels burned in the whole world in a year.

    Pound for pound, the weight of all the termites in the world is greater than the total weight of humans.

    Scientists estimate that, worldwide, termites may release over 150 million tons of methane gas into the atmosphere annually. In our lower atmosphere this methane then reacts to form carbon dioxide and ozone.

    It is estimated that for every human on Earth there may be 1000 pounds of termites.

    “Scientists say” – so it must be true. I have no idea, but it makes for a good story.

  15. Different fake problem,same people,same MO..
    Same result robbing the many to enrich the few.
    Now that these same parasites have taken off their masks,showing us all the totalitarian thugs they wanna be..Is it time yet?
    I do most of my business on verbal promise.
    And it works.
    Because the people I work for and with,mean what they say and say what they mean.
    A promise from most of us is worth something.
    Now,Justine and his cabinet ,have repeatedly called me and mine undesirables and enemies of the State..
    Usually throwing in insinuations of racism or bigotry..
    And these same assault style politicians have told us all how it is gonna be.
    If you believe them,how can you support such thugs?
    If you do not believe them,in their own words, why would you support liars?
    The UN IPCC has told us for years,science has nothing to do with their scheme,it is all about redistribution of wealth,taking from the many to reward the worthy,with a large cut being taken by those who chose the worthy.
    Nothing but fraud,
    A murderous fraud if you are poor in a cold climate..
    So when shall we take these vile schemers at their word?
