UPDATE: Welcome Texans! I’m not sure what all you Houston Chronicle readers are doing here, but I’ve heard it’s a bad idea to mess with Texas, so make yourselves at home. Unless you’re a hippy, of course.
This is the last Weekly Round-Up of 2008; next Thursday is Christmas Day so instead of reading the Internet and making snarky remarks about deranged greens and dirty hippies I’ll be enjoying the tender flesh of a ritually sacrificed turkey, and so should you.
I’d like to thank all the readers and fellow bloggers that have helped to make the Weekly Round-Up the runaway success it has become this year, I’ve had huge fun writing these each week and I hope you get a few giggles along the way as you read all the reasons why global warming is a crock. For my dirty hippy reader(s), happy Festivus/winter solstice and good luck finding a 16 year old virgin for whatever weird mushroom-trance induced rituals you guys get up to.
So, with many apologies to Sinatra. My friends, the time has come to face the final round-up (of the year)…
I’ll lead off with a reminder for you to visit Skeptic’s Global Warming for your weekly Goretoon, Gored But Not Forgotten. Louisiana is also laughing at Al.
Al wrecks Christmas, because he’s the only approved Prophet Profit now:
The Gore Effect hits Milan and the skiing’s fine.
Al claims that the North Pole will be ice free in 5 years, so set your calendars. One question for Al – if you’re wrong (again) can we call the whole hoax off. Please?
Al makes sure his predictions are accurateWhat do OJ Simpson, Paris Hilton and Al Gore have in common? They all compete for headlines. And Al doesn’t like competition. With Al, it’s always about meeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Al Gore cannot speak Chinese. Sounds like a dirty hippy style translation to me.
If you ever made the mistake of thinking that the global warming movement was about science, Al is happy to correct you. It’s a spiritual issue, you see, just like that religion thing.
David Suzuki, enviro-totalitarian, is trying to frighten the kids again:
shareholders, make a profit, and cosy up to federal politicians so he
can continue doing his work without having to answer to his
environmental crimes.”
Alarmists like nothing better than another species doomed by global warming. This week’s special is on jumbo squid. Add them to the list.
The UK’s Met Office has trouble, of the legal kind.
Global warming makes half a million square kilometers of sea ice disappear, overnight. Oh, wait. It was the scientists that did that. Because the science is settled.
Joe Romm, enviro-nut and censor.
Australian greens go ‘ga-ga’ and throw shoes at an effigy. Yeah, nothing works like shoe tossing.
T. Boone was unable to get even more super-rich from his wind-farm scam, so now he’s trying the public health angle. Let’s hope he finds slim pickings there too.
A scientist announces the results of his latest trip to the Arctic, before he even leaves home. Doesn’t he know the Arctic is doomed, again?
Here is a new fact-filled, coldly scientific video from the alarmists that in no way tugs at heartstrings or plays emotional blackmail. My favorite animal hari-kari is the bear, I love the way it just flumps off the massive but almost certainly melting iceberg. What’s your favorite, and where were the lemmings? Poor lemmings started the whole thing off and now get no credit.
Laos, Thailand and Vietnam are improving economically. Greens hate that whole progress thing, why can’t poor people just stay poor so that BBC journalists can enjoy the wildlife?
A Democratic congressman says that Christmas trees are threatened by global warming. No, really, he said that. Out loud.
A leftard alarmist sees the light, supports nuclear power and is immediately underbussed by his ‘friends’. Heh.
Global warming alarmists kill. Literally. Note in the story that the thug was not only aggressive, but he was wrong about his facts too. Sound familiar?
The polar bears are so hungry they are eating their young. In a zoo.
Cub. It’s what’s for dinner.
Alarmists go anonymous. Silly Rabbett.
Keanu Barack Nikto. Warmer movie The Day the Earth Stood Still reviews are not pretty.
Hey kids, get brainwashed into the global warming cult here.
Climate change will hit the poor hardest. Also hitting the poor hardest, green activists.
People love polar bears so much they want to be bears. This mass insanity was to raise awareness of global warming, because apparently these fools think no one has heard of it. How morons jumping into a freezing lake will fix a ‘lack of awareness’ was not immediately apparent.
Here is the perfect gift for the green in your life, the carbon cilice. Attach it to your green of choice, run around turning all the lights on and delight in the howls. Fun for the whole family.
Remember that the oceans are going to rise and destroy us all? Not happening.
America’s Left Coast gets… snow:
Leo DiCaprio’s house not picturedHere is a handy guide for warmistas and dirty hippies on how to handle people like me. On a side note, I’ll probably unbearable for a while once the global warming myth implodes. Think ‘I told ya so’ as a nuclear option.
Wind power, it’s great. Except when windmills wreck the local ground temperature and moisture content.
Alaska’s glaciers are melting and all the polar bears will die. Oh, wait. I mean the glaciers are growing.
Alarmists use the polar bear as their icon of choice to guilt stupid people into falling for their nefarious hoax. Fortunately for the bears, and
inconveniently for the alarmists, the scare is just a big goose egg.
This week’s must-read post is by Alan Caruba. A teaser:
the U.S. and other developed, western nations. It’s proposed “carbon
taxes” and “cap-and-trade” programs have NOTHING to do with the actual
climate or weather.
In a year of dire predictions for our planet, here is a list of the top ten worst predictions.
Tom Nelson wins the brand new and probably never to be repeated Headline of the Week:
US Northeast: 1.4 million face a number of involuntary Earth Hours
Imagine the Sun in a John wayne movie, “it’s quiet. Too quiet.”
The SPPI has a new PDF primer for the wanna-be skeptic in your life, you can find a link to the full document here.
Global warming is not caused by SUV’s. It’s caused by computers.
The BBC ties itself into knots trying to spin a cold 2008 as proof of global warming, which sort of proves the point of American Thinker’s pondering of who are the real deniers, exactly?
The EU, the Utopia much beloved of radical greenahadeen across the planet, has taken steps toward climate realism.
The Associated Press used to be a news organization, but recently it seems to be a home for the deranged.
Here is a phenomena that has a far better chance of killing the planet than made-up global warming – great big holes in the Earth’s magnetic field. Al Gore will soon realize his climate crisis is failing and will re-tool his empire to make powerful fridge magnets to offset this threat. Count on it.
CNN ran its alarmist Planet in Peril series, and no one watched.
In a move that could easily have been predicted by everyone except the lefties and alarmists, the European steel industry threatens to pick up and leave the EU to avoid carbon taxes. Rational actors for a hundred, Alex?
Life is easy, math is hard. I’m not even sure what a speliothem is, nevermind that they’re dating already.
The French don’t think the electric car will work. France is home to the Renault and Citroen brands, so when it comes to cars that don’t work, these guys really know what they are talking about. Also without electricity, French homes.

Green,
Thanks for dropping by. I notice that, as usual for warmers, you have no desire to refute a single one of the 80+ links in the post but resort immediately to attacking the person asking the questions about your delusion that there is something unusual about climate changing.
The planet is just fine, so quit worrying about how rich Al Gore can get and drive the biggest SUV you can afford. Like I do.
Merry Christmas.
Pretty funny blog. Too bad you’re in denial when it comes to the environment. But I’m sure you don’t care because your self-centered, I don’t want to change to make things better attitude will be pushing up daises before the reality hits the fan.
