Global Warming Hoax Weekly Round-Up, Nov. 19th 2009

This week the round-up finds political hackery, partisan shenanigans and something called climate justice.  Some Germans wonder how to get America’s attention (which might make Poland nervous) and Hopenchangen in Copenhagen is even more doomed than the planet.

All this and a hottie besides in this week’s linkapalooza.

Part One: Al Gore & Friends

Al Gore continued his carbon-spewing Chicken Soup for Hippies book tour this week, but something went terribly wrong.  In Boca Raton, FL and Portland, OR, the propheteer was booed and heckled.  Shocking enough, but it was covered in the local press.  And you thought  America’s media put the ‘press’ in ‘suppress’.  Times do change and Al’s iron grip on the ‘climate crisis’ agenda is slipping.

Tom Nelson has been taking a closer look at Our Choice, Al’s newest screed and discovers that the Goreacle not only refuses to acknowledge the large yellow ball in the sky, but he also cannot help using scary faked pictures.   It’s a habit of his, you know.

Newsweek ran a puff piece on Gore, and they got letters.  Lots of letters, of which 74% were critical of Al.  But Newsweek didn’t print any of those flat-earther, keep Al poor activist screeds.  Newsweek will change it’s title to Leftweak 2010.

Will Al stop avoiding debate if there is enough green in it for him?  And by green, I mean money.  But you knew that.

But it wasn’t supposed to be like this when Al Repowered America.

Set your VCR’s,  Al’s on 30 Rock tonight (Thursday).  Remember, ‘Green Week’ on NBC is just GE’s way of lobbying for government welfare.

Al is a partisan hack and to prove it he sees constructive debate where even the New York Times sees political shenanigans:

Senator Barbara Boxer, Democrat of California, the committee’s chairwoman and co-sponsor of the bill, employed a rarely used exception to customary committee rules to muscle the 959-page measure through her panel. She conducted three days of hearings last week on the bill, known as S. 1733, but there was no debate on the complex measure, nor any chance for panel members to offer amendments.  Mrs. Boxer said that the E.P.A. had already conducted a preliminary analysis of the bill and that further study would be costly and duplicative. She said it was necessary to bypass the committee’s rule that required Republican participation because of Republican intransigence and the urgency of the issue.

Gorebots in Oregon became worried that Tea Party protestors might outnumber them.  Happy Days.  More good coverage of the anti-Gore movement at MoveOnDotGore.

Canada’s own hippie evil genius, David Suzuki, is given a chance to host a show on the CBC, or Can-Jazeera as we Canucks like to call the government’s $1billion leftard employment program.

Part Two: AGW Scaremongers

Global warming killed spaghetti.  Add it to the list.

Global warming alarmists have turned environmentalism into a neoreligion, even Jon Stewart said so.  How fitting then that church bells ring out for Gaia.

The Guardian wonders how only 7% of Americans can block the march of socialism global warming action.  What they really mean is that democracy is a bitch for giving inconvenient red states a fair shake.

A condescending patronage Brit suggests that grubby Aussies should get with the rest of the gullible nations and stop asking awkward questions already.

The CDC, spreading climate alarmism.  You’d think maybe frightening folks about H1N1 might be enough for one agency, but you’d be wrong.

Eco-terrorist Paul Watson has a new boat to attack whalers from.  Maybe Canada can confiscate that one, too.

Jolly Prince Chuckles has departed Canada (finally) and is off to some other part of the world that likes to be visited by inbred Royals with dodgy taste in wives.  Before he left Canada, he did remember to tell us that the world only has 92 months before it explodes.  Or something.

Rudolph the reindeer is, wait for it, endangered by global warming.  Because the kids aren’t quite scared enough, yet.

George Monbiot wants to censor skeptics, because shouting ‘shut up’ while holding your hands over your ears is a bona fide lefty debate tactic.  So is running away.  Way to go, George, here’s a cluebatting for you.

The UK Met. Office announced that temperature might rise 10 degrees in Europe:

Heatwaves that kill thousands, tropical-style storms and widespread flooding could be regular features of Britain’s climate within a generation if global warming is not checked, according to the Met Office.

Remember two weeks ago, when Vicky Pope of the Met Office said:

“It isn’t helpful to anybody to exaggerate the situation. It’s scary enough as it is.”

Here’s a phrase skeptics can learn to love - ‘apocalypse fatigue’.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda – the language of climate science, exposed.

Engineers in the UK salivate that perhaps it’s already too late to save the planet from global warming using only political means.  They want to roll up their sleeves and ‘tinker’ with the planet.  The Daily Bayonet has a great deal of respect for engineers and engineering, but please, ‘tinker’?  With the planet?  How about NO.

Some scaremongers are so much fun and they don’t even know it.  Take the guy about to sail around the world in a boat made of recycled water bottles:

Its frame, made of recycled plastic, will be lined with 12,500 bottles filled with carbon dioxide to help provide buoyancy.

The UK wants to impose personal carbon rations on citizens.  Assuming this lunacy passes, take some advice and don’t go blowing your ration on stunts like this one:

..

Oh noes, we’ve only got 10 years to save the planet, again.  It’s been 20 years since we’ve had 10 years, do you think maybe the alarmist’s models might need fresh garbage in?

A hooman rights activist has taken the reins of eco-terror group Greenpeace.  Kumi Naidoo (not a climatologist) says it’s all the same thing, and he’s right.  Hooman rites and radical environmentalism are both about stopping development and taxing/frightening the wealth creating nations into stasis.

Global warming hates wimmin, or at least those of the female persuasion who prefer yakking about gender equality to shopping for shoes.

Planet Saving Idea of the Week: paint glaciers white.  Huh?

Part Three: Inconvenient Truths

President Obama may or may not travel to Hopenchangen in December, and he may or may not receive a roundhouse kick to the head if he does.  In related news, arctic ice is only disappearing because Chuck Norris likes his whisky on the rocks.

It’s a global tax, stupid.

Co2 has never driven a major climate change, which is inconvenient for Al Gore and just about everyone who jumped on the carbon bandwagon.  Oh noes, Plimer was right!

Anthony Watts Surface stations project has caused the global warmers much grief, because it shows how flawed much of the input data for the scaremongers catastrophic models has been.  But, undeterred the super-scaremonger scientists have found a way to defeat Watt’s fact finding – just ignore it! CrazyBrilliantGenius, it works!

You know, if you subsidize something enough, it becomes competitive. How cool is that?  Also see ethanol and wind.  Also, unintended consequences can be fun.

British people no longer think they are killing the planet.  Considering how much of the AGW crap sandwich the UK has already eaten, it’s about time indigestion set in.  Bonus, Americans agree – 47% blame Gaia herself, not factories.

It’s not unrelated to the falling popularity of global warming that suddenly governments around the world aren’t in so much of a hurry to push taxes through the roof.  Hopenchangen in Copenhagen will be more like a meaningless grip’n'grin for world leaders.

After a two week layoff:  It’s the Sun, stupid.

Polar bears, still not endangered, yet still the poster species for the terrorist lovin’ WWF.

Dell, the computer manufacturer claimed it has achieved carbon neutrality.  And it has, as long as you exclude oil used to make parts and  fuel used to ship its products around the world, or the electricity needed to run them.  Greenwashing, because the public will believe anything.

As the AGW boondoggle falls apart, who are the deniers now?

Michael Mann is Finnished.

Der Spiegel laments that Obama seems to be ignoring Europe. Of course, Germany knows one sure-fired way to get the US’s attention, is it time for Poland to be nervous?

White Christmas or not? Ask the Sun.

Eco-tourists on a last chance to see Penguins on ice tour get stuck in the ice.  Schadenfreude happens.

Here’s the must-read link, a WSJ profile of AGW myth-slayer Steve McIntyre.

Pesky Gaia, still saving herself without letting Al Gore make millions.

Wind farms will save us.  Oh, wait, nevermind.

The inconvenient truth about solar power.

2009 was the Year of the Skeptic. The Daily Bayonet’s huge increase in traffic concurs.  You’re welcome Big Oil, now send money.

Aussie skeptic ads, putting the people right on global warming.

Part Four: AGW in the News

To drive-thru or not to drive-thru?  In Canada, that is a good question.

Global warming alarmism as a religion?  You don’t say.

Peeing on compost can save the planet, but reheating your tea cannot.  So many rules.

Media, heal thyself.

After Al Gore was embarrassed by the Texas renewables project that was to be made in China, China will buy American.  Wait, what?

A look back at why Lou Dobbs didn’t fit in at CNN.

People in the UK can look forward to massive bird shredders popping up all over the place.

NOAA throws a little skeptical episode down the memory hole.

Canada to Europe, ‘Sorry about that sudden ice age, eh.’

The Daily Telegraph asks if the battle against climate change has been lost. And by battle, they mean the political one, because there is no battle against global warming, it’s nonsense.

Hippies have persuaded gullible people not to use dryers but to hang their laundry, because bird poop and bugs on your sheets is good for Gaia.  But some housing associations don’t want to look at your, err, not dirty laundry.

More Spiegel spiel, hatin’ on the US of A.

The economic downturn lowered emissions. Is that not a large clue about Big Green’s Hopenchangen agenda?  Maybe it doesn’t matter.

Part Five: Global Hottie

This week’s global hottie was recently voted one of the hottest women on the planet, so she’s as much to blame for global warming as a greenhouse gas.  And talking of houses, she stars in House.  Way to segway, me.  Skeptics, I’m delighted to present Ms. Olivia Wilde as your hottie for the week.

Thanks for reading, enjoy the weekend.
