Global Warming Hoax Weekly Round-Up, Nov.25 2009

The Round-Up comes a day early because tomorrow is Thanksgiving for my US readers and no-one wants snark with their turkey and football.

It’s been a bad week for AGW alarmists following the CRU emails hack/leak.  Their script called for pre-Hopenchangen scaremonger stories of planetary doom, instead they are up to their armpits denying that the leading scientists behind global warming have manipulated data, bullied skeptics and avoided FOI requests.

All that, and now they have another weekly round-up to worry about.  And it has a special CRU section.  (Cue maniacal evil laugh)

Part One: Al Gore & Friends

Intrepid blogger Klockarman of Gore Lied ventured out from behind the keyboard to attend a rally protesting Al Gore’s Oregon visit.  See the picture-tastic anti-Goreacle fest here.

The Great Propheteer blogged about how wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen would be with the addition of his awesomeness Obama.  The  question is  if Obama fails to get what he wants at Hopenchangen in Copenhagen for a second time, will he nuke the Danes into dust?

Gore appeared on Saturday Night Live, because the climate crisis needs a few laugh tracks.  Oh, and he has a book to sell before all the wheels fall off the global warming wagon.

Al went to Atlanta to deliver a lecture.  Yeah, boring, I know.

Bad news for Albertans, Al is ready to blame Canada’s tar sands for global destruction:

Extracting oil from Alberta’s tar sands jeopardizes the survival of our species

Not too alarmist, right?

Part Two: AGW Scaremongers

Clever programmers have developed an app (for Mac only, because hippies drive Mac) to measure your carbon footprint.  Here’s a handy guide to the timeless question ‘am I a hippie?’.  If you install this app, why yes, you are a hippie.

Oh noes, the seas will rise 15 feet.  Really, that much?  You’re sure?

Americans can be proud of the fact that the Democrat controlled Senate has agreed to give a jug-eared inbred horse lover £165 million to save forests.  Because the USA is just swimming in cash these days, right?

100 things caused by global warming. The Heritage Foundation has made a noble attempt, but for the real list of all things blamed on global warming, you must read The List.

Oh noes, we’re all going to die, and it has something to do with Kevin Bacon.  Or something.

The EU has a new president, Herman Von Rumpy-Pumpy, and he’s an honest guy.  Watch him reveal plans for global governance.

Where are the damned torpedoes?  16 ships that create as much pollution as all the cars in the world.  How come there’s never a Somali pirate when you need one?

A moonbat actor doubles down on stupid and pushes peer review as the measure by which all climate science must be regarded.  He shouts a lot, too.

The UK’s Health Secretary wants Britons to stop eating meat.  Britons want their Health Secretary to read the news.

‘Fink of the kids.

Icebergs defy warming and head North for the winter.

Canada is doomed.  Or at least a lot of its money is.

Scientists in denial about what happened to global warming science’s credibility issue a pre-Hopenchangen statement about how warm they say we’ll get if we don’t wreck the global economy.  Meanwhile, the world giggled at the fact they had no pants on.

Californians, or lemmingus Californicus as they will be remembered, pass a cap and trade bill.  Because the stolen 10% of your populations income needs to be spent on something.

Part Three: Inconvenient Truths

Copenhagen comes at a high price, and its not just the cost of getting lots of journalists there.

The Green movement stopped being about improving the environment a long time ago and became about limiting growth, wealth and happiness.

Got an eco-crapper?  Lucky you.

Global warming causes early ice?

The curly mercury bombs that greens want us to use to read by, aren’t actually very good.

The Earth; you know it’s actually pretty cool.

For once, climate skeptics get to dress up in silly costumes to protest something. Note the lack of destroyed property and absence of injured policemen.

The Toyota Prius and other fatally flawed hybrids might help end the dependence on foreign oil, but it will create a new dependence on Chinese rare earth metals.  Unintended consequences, much?

CNN refuses to cover climategate, because that would interupt wall-to-wall coverage of what M’Chel wore to the Ball.  But the network did notice an inconvenient poll.

Ouch:

..

Warming, what warming?

Part Three and A Bit – A Special Section: The CRU Hack/Leak

You can see previous round-ups of the CRU leak here and here, just in case you missed them.

Unreliable Andy and a tale of two Revkins.

Perhaps overlooked in all the climategate furor, here is this week’s must read: The Climate Skeptic’s Handbook II

The BBC covers climategate.  Yeah, you might need to read that again.

The Freedom of Information Act only applies if you’re not a troublesome skeptic.  Wait, what?

The motley CRU and the UEA go into damage control mode and run headlong into Andrew Bolt wielding his mighty cluebat.

The ‘scientists’ at CRU have some mad skillz at Photoshop.  And these geniuses think they know what the weather will be in 2050?

Let’s use the CRU leak to pause and consider what exactly we should do.

Dr Roy invokes a messy Presidential emission to describe what happened to the motley CRU this week.  Eww, frankly.

Mark Steyn unloads on Phil Jones.  And yes, that is an unfortunate sentence to place under the Dr Roy one, sorry about that.

Double standards at the New York Times.  The NYT used to be a paper, didya know?

Most of the MSM blacked out (on) the story.

The BBC wobbles on climate change after the CRU leak.

Congress looks into the leak and will investigate.  That’ll get the network’s attention, eventually.

Strap on your PJ’s and learn the 3 things you need to know about climategate.

Are statistics the final nail in the coffin of the AGW hoax?  Revenge of the nerds, at last!

An inconvenient code, perhaps Dan Brown might be interested in pulling a Crichton for his next book?

Should you care about the CRU leak?  Why yes, you should.

The motley CRU and Obama, closer than you might think.

If the media didn’t have double standards, they’d have none.

Part Four: AGW in the News

This section is a bit thin because most stories have been about the CRU hack/leak.  Still, here’s a few links to keep you going:

Plan B from outer space the US Senate.

The Guardian spins the early news about the CRU leak.

George Monbiot was in the middle of a spat with James Delingpole when the CRU news broke, but I think Delingpole won.

The 12 C’s of global warming alarmism.

We need a global body to direct green technology?  What could possibly go wrong?

Janet Daley is a skeptic, and proud of it.

Part Five: Global Hottie

This week’s global hottie is a genuine green-nut.  She admits to taking cold showers, which might be good advice for some readers.  Please welcome Helena Christensen (from Hopenchangen Copenhagen!) to the Round-Up.

Thanks for reading, and a very happy Thanksgiving to my American readers.
