The Global Warming Hockey Stick Graph
New Gallup poll on global warming…oh my. And this time the hockey stick is not completely fabricated.
Bin Laden Campaigns for Nobel Peace Prize?
In an odd statement sent today, Osama Bin Laden sent a message about a new evil of the United States – and the best way to bring us down. This time, though, it comes straight out of An Inconvenient Truth. Bin Laden is now on record as being very concerned about Global Warming.
I type as I sit here waiting for the blizzard of 2010 to hit the East.
Much like the Al Goracle, Bin Laden sees the United States as the cause of this weather chaos, and his plan to stop it is to bring down our industry a bit. The last time someone spoke with such boldness, they won a Nobel Peace Prize. And if you are concerned that the little terrorism side of him would hurt his chances, Yassar Arafat would disagree.
If he can’t win the peace prize, Senator Bin Laden could be in the future if he ran as a Democrat. Ok, ok….that’s a little extreme. Though he blames Bush and corporations for climate change, wants us to join Kyoto, sides with the Palestinians in the middle east, and is an avid fan of Noam Chomsky.
Bin Laden notes that ‘Noam Chomsky (the US academic and political commentator) was correct when he compared the US policies to those of the Mafia.”
The recording hasn’t been confirmed, so it may all be a hoax. But the irony is that the hoax is on us (if you’ve paid attention to the past few month’s ClimateGate, HimalayanGate, and uh..IPCCgate )… and even Osama’s alleged idea to bring the country to its knees isn’t too far off from Cap and Trade.
Other excerpts from An Inconvenient Beard
Talk about climate change is not an ideological luxury but a reality,’ he said.
‘All of the industrialised countries, especially the big ones, bear responsibility for the global warming crisis.’
He added that while wealthy nations had agreed to the Kyoto Protocol that binds them to emission targets, former U.S. President George W Bush had later rejected such limitations before Congress in deference to big business.
The United States never ratified the existing Kyoto Protocol, whose present commitments expire in 2012, and has said it will not sign up to an extended Kyoto Protocol, preferring a new agreement.
If it wasn’t already, the science is definitely now settled.
Climate Scientists or Your Lying Eyes?
I’ll say, this is one cold blip…but a blip Winter 2010 is according to Climate scientists.
3 decades cold snap fills up hospitals in .. Florida. Blip
Wind chill near zero in Canada. I mean Texas. Blip
Wind chills near -50 (your thermometer is doing it wrong). Blip
But indeed, this, and the past few years have been a blip on the grand scale of climate. Fair enough. They’ve got facts to back it up…climate data showing overall we’re warmer the past decade. I mean they don’t make those stats up right? It’s science. (John Stewart weighs in) It’s not like they’d get barred from the scientific community or lose their funding if they went against the established theory.
There was another one of these climate blips in the industrial age. Man made global cooling.
So bundle up and wait for the government to let us know what we can do to help. Wait long enough and they’ll change their mind.
Until then, your lying eyes.
How Could Climategate Happen?
The thing I hate about Microsoft Office is that it always tries to get in your way and figure out what you’re doing. Generally their suggestions are wrong, but apparently sometimes they are very helpful.
