Climate Roundup

There are two very important bits of climate news around.

First, for my reader in Oz, please read this and share it about. If you can do something about it, please do. It's absolutely disgusting what is going on here.

Second, an excellent deconstruction of Moonbat's unending hypocrisy.

Less urgent (but still important) is the fact that "global warming" has been replaced with "global climate disruption." This is another shameless attempt to disguise the fact that the temperature record is so addled as to be almost useless and that raw temperature data universally shows a temperature decline.

Yet governments and corporates and greedy sacks of shit like Al Gore and Tim Yeo are coining it from us, so the show must go on.

Cunts.

The going rate

Mark Wadsworth shows that a) the Tories are no fucking different, b) Byers was charging the going rate and c) Tim "Green but Dim" Yeo is a weapons-grade cunt.

Deniers!

What a load of old shite:

a systematic campaign by neo-fascist climate-denying BNP supporters seems to have achieved just what it wanted. To sum up, the BNP campaigned against these ads and the ASA did what the BNP were calling for.

Hurrah! Left Bollock Backward (who I'm really not going to grace with a link for this shit) continues to promote the meme that only lunatics, fascists and Nazis "deny" climate change.

And I must admit that I had been surprised by the ASA breaking ranks over AGW, but as another bunch of loonies (LabourLost, who I'm also not fucking linking to, fuck 'em, they've never linked to me!) quoted in the article shows that they haven't really:

... the ASA actually threw out 9 out of the 10 objections placed by the climate changes deniers. They agreed with DECC that “there was extremely strong evidence for human induced climate change whereas no national or international bodies with climate science expertise disagreed”, that "over 40% of the CO2 was coming from ordinary every day things like keeping houses warm and driving cars" was unlikely to mislead, and that “the story-book images of a dried up UK river bed and a flooded UK town and the mention of "awful heat waves" and "terrible storms and floods" was a narrative about what could happen in the UK in the future, given the scientific projections based on current trends and unlikely to mislead”.

Out of the 10 points made by the climate change deniers, the only one that was upheld related to the precise level of certainty behind predictions of extreme weather events in the UK, and whether the words “ will become“ imply a 90%, 66% or 50% likelihood.

So, no, there never was any cause to celebrate, the ASA is still firmly in the AGW camp and we can forget about these fuckers ever stopping the sucking of green cock. It might be interesting to see where the ASA's pensions are invested ...

Pointless security theatre

John Redwood is right, in his own wry way:

Yesterday was another successful day for anti terrorism. I was especially grateful as I was travelling to and from Manchester by public transport in order to make a speech there. We should not tempt providence or take things for granted. The anti terrorist police and Intelligence services are to be congratulated for all the networks and plots they have intercepted to make us safer.

When are the sheeple going to stand up to this pointless, expensive, time-wasting security theatre?

I bet the useless fuckers couldn't even get THAT right!

Definitely one to watch.

BBC Bias (Again)

From Counting Cats:

I saw a small bit of a thing on BBC News this morning. OK, this is from memory and I didn’t watch the whole thing because I would have been sedated to prevent me from hurling the cat at the Samsung. And neither Timmy nor the telly deserve that…

I would though chuck an irate ocelot at Harriet Harman’s minge. That is another story though…

It was about “The Rise of Climate Scepticism in Australia”. It described climate sceptics (they’d burn ‘em if that weren’t “polluting”) meetings as being like an “American religious revivalist meetings” (that’s so BBC on so many levels, that’s the sort of thing to get the average Indy reader priapic) and it was just generally horrendous. Despite my inchoate rage I did though clock something which outraged me beyond feline-throwing comprehension.

It opened with a shot of the cracked, dry Australian Desert. You know that thing that Australia has a lot of but also had a lot of when Captain Cook made landfall and even had a lot of during the Dreamtime of the Aboriginals with this soundtrack:



Yup, whilst the BBC now calls us “sceptics” and no longer “deniers” it plays music from a symphony written specifically about the Holocaust.

Where do you think that band is performing? Don’t look much like the Royal Albert Hall to me unless that gaff has really gone downhill very recently.

So the likes of me, PA and Cats wanna disagree with the “consensus” on a scientific issue and we’re ushered to the “naughty-corner” along with that cunt Nick Griffin. Well, some of us, Aunty Beeb actually not only can parse the science but will not fall for cheap tricks like that. Some of us know what an adiabatic lapse rate is and some of us have also been to Auschwitz. Some of us even listen to C20th orchestral music.

Some of us also know what pride comes before.

PS. Fellow bloggers. Take this. I want it known. I want it screamed from the highest parapets.

Pardon?

It's not just our government that talks out of its arse:

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson engaged in doublespeak of the highest degree today as she told reporters that no statistically significant increase in global temperatures since 1995 does not mean that there has not been human induced global warming.

There's been no warming, but that doesn't mean there's been no warming.

“The science regarding climate change is settled, and human activity is responsible for global warming,” Jackson said, adding that the EPA needs more funding to ensure climate change legislation is passed.

Jesus Christ. How much more naked can they be about their agenda? And fucking "progressives" applaud them for this shit?

What utter cunts.

Now that's something you don't see every day!

Snow in Fort Worth, Texas. Which is right next to Dallas.

Yes, that Dallas.

Big Oil

Whenever you read about someone being sceptical about global warming, or even worse, a "denier", you will almost always hear that they are in the pay of big oil, especially if there is any academic rigour behind their comments.

Well, read this and then reflect on the motivations of those promoting the scam.

Still not convinced?

You couldn't make it up!

Heh:

NOAA had planned a press conference in Washington D.C. yesterday to release the following statement:

“More and more, Americans are witnessing the impacts of climate change in their own backyards, including sea-level rise, longer growing seasons, changes in river flows, increases in heavy downpours, earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons in our waters. People are searching for relevant and timely information about these changes to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives,”

Because of the blizzard, the press conference could not be held at the National Press Club and had to be conducted via telephone.

I'm really beginning to wonder if these cunts will ever overcome their mongnitive dissonance.

Indiots

This tickled:

For the first time, Indians are experiencing an organised, systematic and vicious attack by powerful and well-funded lobbies in the developed world. These lobbies are aiming to diminish the perception of the impact of global warming and climate change on our common future, and the consequent need to change our lifestyle. Such lifestyle changes will damage the future of many industries, so there are vast resources and stakes in continuing present consumption styles.

The anti-climate change lobby has, after Copenhagen, mounted such an attack on RK Pachauri, director general of The Energy and Resources Institute (Teri) and chairman of UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); on the Indian organisation that he heads (Teri) and thus on the credibility of the IPCC and its reports on climate change. It started with vicious personal attacks on Pachauri’s earnings from his counselling of various organisations around the world.

When they discovered that Pachauri gave all payments made to him in connection with such work to Teri, they charged him with using his position to help fund Teri. They then found a serious mistake in the findings in the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report relating to the melting of Himalayan glaciers, and used this mistake to condemn the idea of climate change itself!

Teri is perhaps the best-managed research-consulting-action institute in the country.

It all sounds like it's being taken very seriously, but at least we hear that TERI is very well managed.

So, who performed this incisive analysis?

The author is visiting fellow, TERI

Yeah, that'll be an honest, unbiased assessment, then.

Tip of the clown wig to the Anglo-Saxon.

What a load of FUCKING bollocks

Fucking fuck.

I picked up a copy of the Independent last night which had this fucking load of outright cuntbollocks as its lead on the front fucking page:

'Climate emails hacked by spies'

Interception bore hallmarks of foreign intelligence agency, says expert

What a fucking load of fucking shit. Especially when you see who the fucking expert is:

A highly sophisticated hacking operation that led to the leaking of hundreds of emails from the Climatic Research Unit in East Anglia was probably carried out by a foreign intelligence agency, according to the Government's former chief scientist. Sir David King, who was Tony Blair's chief scientific adviser for seven years until 2007, said that the hacking and selective leaking of the unit's emails, going back 13 years, bore all the hallmarks of a co-ordinated intelligence operation – especially given their release just before the Copenhagen climate conference in December.

My guess is that David Kunt wouldn't know a fucking hack from a fucking crack and as a result, this is just a load of rancid cockwaffle from the greenies biggest fanboi clubs.

The Independent: sucking Al Gore's cock since forever.

Fucking arsebandit cock-sniffing cuntweasels.

Doing the math

Mark W crunches the numbers here:

Instead, parts of our atmosphere act as an insulating blanket of just the right thickness, trapping sufficient solar energy to keep the global average temperature in a pleasant range. The Martian blanket is too thin, and the Venusian blanket is way too thick! The 'blanket' here is a collection of atmospheric gases called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases also 'trap' heat like the glass walls of a greenhouse do.

*ahem*

From elsewhere on their site:

Venus - average distance from Sun 67 million miles
Earth - average distance from Sun 93 million miles
Mars - average distance from Sun 226 million miles

As the intensity of light received from an object is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, it'd be reasonable to expect the Sun's rays on Venus to be 193% as intensive as on Earth, and on Mars to be only be 17% as intensive on Earth. Which might have something to do with the temperature differences.

*/ahem*

I can't argue with that!

#Climategate - From Russia with Love

It seems that the Russians have weighed in with a contribution to Climategate: they accuse the Met Office's Hadley Centre of cherry-picking data sets which support global warming, while ignoring huge swathes of the data because it would have cancelled out the warming shown in the data they did select.

The rather sound Delingpole has more.

#Climategate - follow the money

A monumentally hypocritical, venal cunt, earlier

EU Referendum has a very, very important post here about the Climategate scandal:

Our friendly part-time chairman of the IPCC, Dr Rajendra Kumar Pachauri, is quite a remarkable man. As well as his onerous post with the UN's IPCC, it seems he has a considerable number of other interests.

Dr Pachauri's main day job is, of course, Director-General of The Energy Research Institute (TERI) - which he has held since April 2001, having become its Director and head in 1981 when it was the Tata Energy Research Institute.

Intriguingly, for such an upstanding public servant though, he is also a strategic advisor to the private equity investment firm Pegasus Capital Advisors LP, which he became in February of this year. However, this is by no means Dr Pachauri's only foray into the world of finance. In December 2007, be became a member of the Senior Advisory Board of Siderian ventures based in San Francisco.

The post then goes on and on (and on) detailing all the roles that this selfless UN bureaucrat fills, with some highlights being:

1. member of the Board of the Nordic bank Glitnir, which launched the The Sustainable Future Fund, Iceland, a new savings account "designed to help the environment."


2. Chairman of the Indochina Sustainable Infrastructure Fund


3. Board of the Credit Suisse Research Institute, Zurich


4. member of the Advisory Group for the Rockefeller Foundation, USA


5. member of the Board of the International Risk Governance Council in Geneva


6. Chairman and Member of the Advisory Group at Asian Development Bank


7. member of the Policy Advisory Panel for the French national railway system, SNCF


8. President of the Asian Energy Institute


9. previous directorship with and current post as "scientific advisor" to GloriOil Limited

Investing in oil exploration, it was observed at the time, makes it possible to drill oil more efficiently, and produce greenhouse emissions in even greater amounts, and stands in contradiction to the firm's stated public mission. No one mentioned Dr Pachauri's founding role in the company – or that he was currently chairman of the IPCC.

We continue:

1. Director of the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies, Japan.
   
2. Member of the External Advisory Board of Chicago Climate Exchange, Inc. This exchange is North America's only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide, brokering carbon credits worldwide


3. member of FEOP (Far East Oil Price) Advisory Board, managed by the Oil Trade
Associates, Singapore

4. Member of the International Advisory Board of Toyota Motors


5. Member of the Climate Change Advisory Board of Deutsche Bank AG


6. Chairman of the International Association for Energy Economics from 1989 to 1990


7. Independent Director of NTPC Ltd (National Thermal Power Corp), from 30 January 2006 to January 2009


8. non-official Part-time Director of NTPC Ltd, from August 2002 to August 2005


9. Director of the Indian Oil Corporation until 28 August 2003


10. Director of Gail India Ltd, India's largest natural gas transportation company, from August 2003 to 26 October 2004


11. Member of National Environmental Council, Government of India under the Chairmanship of the Prime Minister of India


12. member of the lobbying organisations: the International Solar Energy Society, the World Resources Institute and the World Energy Council


13. member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India since July 2001 and also serves as Member of the Oil Industry Restructuring Group, for the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India

So, the next time the chairman of the the IPCC stands up and defends the science, just bear in mind how much he personally stands to lose if the science doesn't actually stack up. And when someone says that all the deniers are in the pocket of big oil, well, it's pretty clear to me that all the warmists are in the pocket of "big alternative energy".

Cunts.

PS Did I mention that this fucker has a Nobel Prize as well? Looks like having an igNobel Prize is a higher award.

"Global Warming" in perspective

#Climategate - 1200 Limos, 140 Private Jets in #Copenhagen

Utter fucking hypocritical cock-sucking cunts.

#Climategate - how can you "contextualize" this?

One of the most frequent criticisms that alarmists have made about the interpretation of the Climategate emails is that we don't have the full context.

But when you read an email like this in full, it's hard to understand what context would make it anything but completely damning:

Without trying to prejudice this work, but also because of what I almost think I know to be the case, the results of this study will show that we can probably say a fair bit about <100>100 year variability was like with any certainty (i.e. we know with certainty that we know fuck-all*).

In other words, when we look at temperature variations, we know a fair bit about what has happened north of the Tropic of Cancer in the last 100 years, but south of that we know nothing and before 100 years ago, we also know nothing north of the Tropic either.

Does that really sound like someone who is certain of the scientific basis for AGW?

*My emphasis.

#Climategate - Some video clips

#Climategate - Should Al Gore lose his Oscar?

I think he should lose the Nobel as well, but a couple of members of "the Academy" want to rescind Al's Oscar:

Roger L. Simon and Lionel Chetwynd, both Academy members, are among a small, meandering pack of known political conservatives still believed to be on the loose in the liberal bastion of movie-making.

In 2007, the Academy sanctified Gore's cinematic message of global warming with its famous statue, enriched his earnings by $100,000 per 85-minute appearance and helped elevate the Tennessean's profile to win the Nobel Peace Prize despite losing the election battle of 2000 to a Texan and living in a large house with lots of energy-driven appliances.

Chetwynd and Simon were prompted to make their hopeless demand this week by the leak two weeks ago of a blizzard of British academic e-mails purporting to show that scientists at the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit systematically falsified data to document the appearance of global warming in recent years.

The university is reportedly investigating the claims, which added dry fuel to the never-ending political debate over whether the Earth really is warming as a result of human activity or if it's just normal natural cycles and the debate is what's heated. The demand to withdraw Gore's award provides yet another opportunity to argue.

Too bloody right. While they're about it, they should take away his fucking Nobel prize and stick his fucking thieving head on a pike, as well.

The cunt.
