Global Warming Hoax Weekly Update, August 15th 2008

It’s the end of the week, so here is your weekly hit list of hoaxy climate-changey things.  Enjoy, and if you find any stories you think should be included, please email me a link and any snark you’d like to see attached to it.

The Profit himself writes that there have been a few set backs this year.  I don’t know how a set back is different from a setback, but this is Al, so it must be right, right?

Soon to appear on Al’s next list will be Andrew Bolt’s growing list of Gore watching links.  See the great man bravely go where few hypocrites dare to tread.  Here’s my favourite:

If Al’s monstrous hypocrisy isn’t enough to make you mad enought to eat a polar bear, try reading this, where they report that Al could have made $100 million off the global warming hoax.

Gore-lite David Suzuki is offering tickets to go see Radiohead.  I guess no-one told Hippy Dave about the last time Radiohead tickets were offered to green fans.  oops.

AGW believers are a funny bunch. If you find scary totalitarian morons funny, that is.  Here are some stories that demonstrate what kind of people have jumped on the global warming bandwagon.

You have the marxists, of course, that want to undermine democracy.

Then there are the lefties that would shut down all dissent; more of that here.

The you have the idiots that think the courts can decide if global warming is real or not. (hint, they have already, pay attention)

Further left you have the 2-or-more-issue-conflation squads that think going vegan will stop global warming.  I ate an extra steak to celebrate that one.

Then there are the hippies, that will soon be living in the dark in San Franciso, wondering where all the working people went and, like, where did the welfare go, man?

Finally, you have Democrats.  ‘Nuff said.

In British Columbia, home of North America’s first carbon tax, more people are noticing that perhaps climate change isn’t such a big deal.

CO2sceptics finds an article ‘The Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated‘

Two sides of the BBC: read this one, then this other one.  You decide, I still think they’re a bunch of hopeless leftist hacks, but don’t let me sway you.

Actual news, the US is now the world’s largest producer of wind energy.  How did that happen, I thought President Bush was Satan or something.

The Australian writes about bloggers and the skeptical side of life.

From Silicon Valley comes a story that the global warming activists have officially found a way to stop progress.  In Silicon Valley.  Who are these people, pets.com?

The Washington Post gives you the truth about those Democrat claims about offshore drilling.  Read it, memorize it then run over to your local insufferable Democrat neighbors house and return fire.  Thank me later.

drilling can be beautiful too

The one thing that drives believers nuts is when skeptics use science to debunk their claims about impending planetary doom.  So, here is a list of useful stuff with which to drive believers nuts.

Take a favorite ‘sustainable source’ of energy, and wreck it.  Just because.

Mention that quiet, large yellow ball in the sky and explain why it might get cold.  For a while.

Print this explanation of the flawed hockey stick graph, and beat your nearest believer with it.

Global warming?  Not in this century:

The climate models on which all global warming relies forget to measure some pretty important things; like aerosols.

Add another scientist to the skeptics list.

Using seals to advance understanding.  The dolphins were booked I guess.

Following last week’s story about how endangered gorillas are actually breeding like rabbits comes another success story about humpback whales.  Expect cheap copies of Star Trek IV on eBay any day now.

Another Jennifer Marohasy link.  An excerpt to get you started:

As an example of the vacuousness of the AGW agenda, read this story.  It’s about a scientist investigating the snow-shoe hare.  The animal is not endangered, nor in trouble.  But in a desperate bid for funding, this ‘scientist’ is planning to go into the arctic to figure out if global warming might threaten the hare.  Why?

First, here is a typically balanced story about global warming: “all is lost on global warming“.  Nothing sells like doom.

Unfortunately for the believers, a lot of the doom is turned around and refers to their gigantic hoax rather than the fate of the planet:

Americans are caring less about global warming.

A green blacklash is coming, and it’s getting harder to find funding for propaganda.

Meanwhile, seniors aren’t buying the hype about climate change.

This week’s hottie is brought to you by the most tenuous link ever.  I mentioned the famous hockey stick above.  This week’s hottie like hockey players.  A lot.  And what do hockey players use. Sticks!  Fantastic!  So here’s Elisha Cuthbert:

Enjoy the weekend.
