If you don't want me to speak, then put some food in my mouth!
Here is your early, pre-debate edition of the weekly round-up. More links and snark on one page than you can shake a stick at. I've got a record number of links to squeeze in, and a great must-read, which I've colored red so you don't miss it. Remember, this post is a hippy-free zone, so if you happen to believe that Gaia is gagging on too much carbon, dude, then it's time for you to shuffle off and find some Ben & Jerry's; the rest of us have some learnin' to do.
Part One: Al Gore and Friends
First, I want to bring your denier attention to a new cartoon that my friend at Skeptics Global Warming is featuring. Called 'Gored But Not Forgotten', it's a satirical look at AGW. What's not to like about that? You will have noticed that the economy has been taking up almost all the headlines in the past week or so. This is not pleasing Al Gore at all, those front pages belong to him, the great global warming profit (not a typo). After all, he was once the next President of the USA, and he has a Nobel Prize, if not a noble heart. Anyway, Al found a way to get the headlines back, inevitably. Some feller called Floy Lilley (really? did his mother hate him at birth?) rips Saint Al a new one over the Fraud of Global Warming. Hoax, Scam, Fraud, we deniers should agree a term, but for now it's all good. Gore's website was hacked. No-one noticed. Al buys carbon credits for himself, from himself. People do notice. Get your Al Gore Halloween mask here. I'm adding a new friend to Al's section in the round-up, so please give a warm denier welcome to Mr. T. Boone Pickens. 'T' has been on the TV recently, decrying America's addiction to oil; which kinda makes him a dealer the size of Colombia. But, let facts not matter, 'T' is pushing America's next addiction, natural gas. It's entirely coincidental and not at all relevant that 'T' owns large swaths of land which happens to be over large deposits of natural gas. He's doing it for the children, I heard it on TV. Canadian hippy david Suzuki continues to exercise granola-fascism, telling people what to think. He also lives in an irony-free zone and will be using something called IGLOO for his social networking. Like I care about his social network. Bunch of ******** hippies. Part Two: AGW Scaremongers and Propagandists What do the BBC, MTV and PBS all have in common, apart from three letters each? Global warming agendas, of course. The Beeb is defending it's Climate Wars series, MTV wants people to turn off their TV's (easy to do after 2 minutes of MTV), and PBS has a new show called Heat. But there is no media bias, that's all in your head. MUST READ LINK: Public notices media bias in global warming debate, wants fairer coverage (PDF). OK the bias is not in your head. But you have to read the linked study, which is why the alerta text is big and red. See, easy to find must-reads, it's the only way to fly. Here's a teaser graphic: Not that global warming alarmists want to scare you or anything, but one third of all life on the planet is doomed. So, stop eating meat, or they'll ration it. More TV - NBC is stuck in the ice. Stop giggling. A Canadian blogger found some anti-semites under the Green party bed and wasn't exactly thanked for his efforts. Kyoto gets tough on 7-11. That's save the planet, no more late-night slushies. Vote Obama for the well-paid green-collar jobs. Jobs; you'll recall the concept fondly about a year after this clown gets elected. Global warming causes snow and cold. In Africa. Clever. Tom Nelson notices how cunning global warming is. It's like that clever shark... Richard Branson, an ex-boss of mine, sees no problem with blasting tourists into space, as long as he takes the temperature while he's up there. Sheesh. If, like me you constantly wonder how high you can get your carbon footprint, fear not. Now there's a smart cell-phone technology to help you measure your impact on the planet. Post your high score in the comments. Just for laughs, here's an article by an alarmist.
Celebrities are bad enough, but you know what's worse? Musicians. Which is why it is not a great idea to send Feist, and Jarvis Cocker of Pulp to the arctic to investigate climate change. If you were to send musicians, better to find one that can count higher than 4, or doesn't have a history of attacking other musicians of uncertain race, gender or sexuality (all one person). OK, what the hell, just try not humming this: Part Three: Inconvenient Truths Green activists, eco-nuts, warmists, thermists, alarmists, whatever name you know them by all have one thing in common - they want to return us to the stone age. Welcome to the party, America. 'Alternative' energy is the preferred source of power for greens, alternatives like wind power. Except it doesn't always work out so well. In Part One I mentioned that the financial problems in the world were pushing green stories from the front pages. The same issues are making it harder to get other green stuff passed too. The economy will wreck the global warming hoax. Carbon dioxide causes warming? It's the ashphalt , stupid. James Inhofe does not mince his words, gives it to the Dems. CO2 offsets not so great actually, says GAO. Nigel Lawson agrees. That green bubble? Pop!
Lots of people pointing out issues with the science behind the scare; CO2sceptics finds one here, SPPI has another here, Michael Crichton's thoughts are distilled at CCF here. The big-mother doozy however is courtesy of Roger Pielke Jr. An excerpt:
Here's an inconvenient truth, carbon taxes don't work. Remember how the Gulfstream was going to stop or be reversed by global warming? Not happening. Tom Nelson punches hippies. You go, Tom. Here's an odd link. Rational Environmentalism. Even I could like these guys. Thanks to reader iceFree for the tip.
Part Four:
AGW in the News
The BBC wonders about polar bears ability to hear the approach of their impending doom. Or something. Proving that global warming has an upside, it appears that AGW is bad for Haggis. Millions of Scots children celebrate. Winnipeg spends $1 million to study global warming. Winnipeg. You'd think they'd want more of it. University of Alberta: Spring Break, you're doing it wrong. Beating the third world with the global warming club. And not in a good way. Andrew Breitbart fights back. What shade of ecomaniac are you? Light or dark green? Proving that even businesses can be stupid, all the NE carbon credits were sold. The Guardian wonders why global warming cannot be tackled as quickly as the economic crisis. Perhaps because the economy is a real problem, the other is Al Gore's retirement fund might explain it. There's a campaign to bring Leeds to a standstill. This should have happened years ago. If you've ever been to Leeds, you'll understand. A global warming legislator recognizes that his people will freeze. He seems happy (see the link).
Part Five: Real
Science
Anthony Watt's finds the problem with the Sun. Global warming has paused. Cats have paws. There is a difference. Jennifer Marohasy and the Myth Global Cooling pageant. I crack myself up. It's the Sun, stupid. The Financial Times notices the Sun's been quiet. (click to enlarge) But wait, Watt's that? A sunspot? too much proactiv treatment? Part Six: Global Hottie
This
week's global hottie is one a really hot star, like the Sun. There's
the tenuous link out of the way. She had small parts in some art-house
era movies directed by some guy called George Lucas, but went on to
blockbusters like V for Vendetta and some film about Henry VIII that
had her and Scarlett Johansson in it. Yeah, I know. Here's this week's
global hottie, Ms. Natalie Portman.
Thanks for reading, have a great weekend. 3.26 Copyright (C) 2008 Compojoom.com / Copyright (C) 2007 Alain Georgette / Copyright (C) 2006 Frantisek Hliva. All rights reserved." |
