It of course, screams for a caption. I’m sure our readers can provide one.

Here’s the original caption and story from the NYT.

Major Snowstorm Hits Atlantic Coast

A major winter storm was moving up the Atlantic Coast on Friday night, with forecasters expecting accumulations of one to two feet of snow in some areas. President Obama returned early Saturday from climate talks in Copenhagen, landing at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland in the midst of the storm.

    Sorry, I don’t know where else I can post this and get input from knowledgeable skeptics.

    I am currently trying to find out more information on this:

    In Lord Monckton’s letter to Dr. Pachauri he (unscientifically)
    demonstrated that the slopes for the previous periods of warming were
    similar to the slope of the warming period we are currently in (page 6
    in the PDF linked below.)

    http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/originals/pachauri_letter.pdf

    However I’m having trouble finding data or studies that demonstrate
    the warming is occurring at the same rate as earlier in the century.

    This is where I am going with this:

    The scientific literature says that our current warming (last 30-35)
    years is too great to be caused by the sun alone. They attribute it
    of course to anthropogenic causes. They wholly attribute the
    1850-1975/1980 warming we have seen to natural causes. It sure seems
    that if our current warming is at a rate no greater than the previous
    warming that it could be caused by the same natural mechanisms.

    Please help with any information you may have.

    Plenty of excellent, I like the “don’t worry Mr. President, Hansen, Mann, and Jones assure me this will be ‘adjusted’ to be the warmest December 18th this century” as well as “Obviously my trip was a success. Global warming has already gone”.

    yesterday went to watch videos of Piers Corbyn, there was an opportunity to read his forecast done on the 2nd of December for the second part of december. for the US and Canada he wrote: “19th to 31st: a series of waves of severe and at times dangerous wintry weather” a little bit down he wrote “severe deluges of snow/blizzards hail & winter thunder/ tornadoes at times”. And more particularly “19-20 Dec Major SWIP & Deluges / extreme activity”. Ok it started on the 18th but it is relatively accurate so far.

    Sorry guys but 22nd and 23rd is the same, then 25th to 27th, it is moderate and not major. then “28th to 30th MAJOR (in capital letters) cold blasts & snowstorms extreme activity TOPa SWIP with notable simultaneous extreme events around world.” I do not want to know what he would have forecasted if there was no global warming!?

    Limo Drivers & Caterers in Copenhagen

    The CRU “Mole” (leaked Climategate emails)

    Mother Earth (She provided her opinion with “weather-not-climate” in Copenhagen and around the world)

    Santa Claus (maybe the eco freaks will leave him and the polar bears alone now)

    Attorney’s; The momentum is obviously on the side of rational thinking and the fight will now go into the courts starting with a challenge of the ridiculous EPA endangerment finding

    Copenhagen – Losers:

    Christmas Trees (UN did not allow them at COP15)

    Al “Nobel Prize” Gore (completely discredited)

    Capitalism (paying billions in global welfare to undeveloped countries to lower the planet temp 1.5C per COP15 agreement – huh ?, how will the undeveloped countries do that ?, actually lower the physical climates temp – huh? Come-on folks – this money will go to corrupt third world governments that will spend it on socialistic activities if they don’t shove it in their pockets – your tax money !)

    Socialism (Man-Made Global Warming + “Green” movement + UN/IPCC = Socialism) became more exposed

    Carbon Trading Initiatives and “Green” Venture Funds (values have plummeted)

    Science and Academics (thanks to corrupt researchers, professors and institutions who sold out for grant money)

    Genuine environmentalism which was hijacked by the Socialist “Green” movement and may become collateral damage

    RealClimate (http://www.realclimate.org/ loses credibility)

    “Major Snowstorm Blankets US Capital

    Forecasters say snow accumulations could reach 60 centimeters around Washington DC

    A snow emergency has been declared in the U.S. capital as the region braces for what may prove to be the largest December snowstorm since 1932.

    The National Weather Service predicts more than 30 centimeters of snow will blanket the U.S. northeast by late Saturday. Forecasters say snow accumulations could reach 60 centimeters around Washington DC.

    Just south of the capital in Virginia, more than 12 centimeters had already fallen by late Friday. The national guard is on alert, and a state of emergency has been declared.

    While the country’s entire northeast will see considerable snowfall, the Washington area is expected to be among the hardest hit. The U.S. National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning in the capital for Saturday, warning residents travel will be “extremely dangerous.”

    “get connolley on the phone. there’s some spinning to be done”

    Lawrence Solomon: Wikipedia’s climate doctor

    One person in the nine-member Realclimate.org team — U.K. scientist and Green Party activist William Connolley — would take on particularly crucial duties.

    Connolley took control of all things climate in the most used information source the world has ever known – Wikipedia. Starting in February 2003, just when opposition to the claims of the band members were beginning to gel, Connolley set to work on the Wikipedia site. He rewrote Wikipedia’s articles on global warming, on the greenhouse effect, on the instrumental temperature record, on the urban heat island, on climate models, on global cooling. On Feb. 14, he began to erase the Little Ice Age; on Aug.11, the Medieval Warm Period. In October, he turned his attention to the hockey stick graph. He rewrote articles on the politics of global warming and on the scientists who were skeptical of the band. Richard Lindzen and Fred Singer, two of the world’s most distinguished climate scientists, were among his early targets, followed by others that the band especially hated, such as Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, authorities on the Medieval Warm Period.

    All told, Connolley created or rewrote 5,428 unique Wikipedia articles. His control over Wikipedia was greater still, however, through the role he obtained at Wikipedia as a website administrator, which allowed him to act with virtual impunity. When Connolley didn’t like the subject of a certain article, he removed it — more than 500 articles of various descriptions disappeared at his hand. When he disapproved of the arguments that others were making, he often had them barred — over 2,000 Wikipedia contributors who ran afoul of him found themselves blocked from making further contributions. Acolytes whose writing conformed to Connolley’s global warming views, in contrast, were rewarded with Wikipedia’s blessings. In these ways, Connolley turned Wikipedia into the missionary wing of the global warming movement

    Here are my favorites. (I’m partial to brevity.) I’ve put asterisks on my top picks.

    Not a problem, I’m good at shoveling.
    “Shovel ready?”
    *Time to keep my promise. Order 600,000 shovels and get those people working.
    “I ‘hope’ this weather will ‘change’….”
    “Don’t worry Mr. President, it’s rotten snow.”
    Get Hansen on the phone! “Hey bro, wazup. Listen, we have a little problem here. Can you come up with a trick to hide the gawddamnsnow? Good.”
    Damn I’m good — sea level’s probably falling, too.
    *Mission Accomplished!
    “I suck! Inhofe for President.”
    Well done Mr President; a washout and a whiteout!
    *WATTSUPWITHTHAT !!!!
    *“Try looking out the other window.”
    “Step away from the windows… nothing to see here…”
    Looks like we just landed in the Twilight Zone…
    Hell actually froze over this time.
    *I leave Biden in charge for ONE day…….
    Where’s Al, I’ll skin him
    Bring me the Head of Global Warming.
    Run that past me one more time, Al baby – cooling is really warming?
    *“Hi, Dr. Mann, this is Barry. I expect an explanation.”
    OH goody daddy we’re going to have a white Christmas… Shut up kid, I don’t want to hear it.
    “It’s worse than we thought!”
    “Negative feedback has kicked in, Mr President.”
    *“Ticker tape parade greets President after European climate victory”
    Welcome home to the land of the FREE – ZING Mr President!
    “The day after Copenhagen.”
    What’s our Plan B?
    “Are we in Kansas yet, Toto?”
    *“Sir, we may have overdone it with the carbon offsets.”
    “Welcome to Loring AFB Maine Mr. President. As part of our Executive Sustainability Project we’ll be taking the bus from here to DC.”
    You generate hundreds of tons, and what do you get?
    Another day colder and deeper in debt.
    ♫ Let it snow let it snow let it snow ♫
    “Oh H-E-double hockey sticks!”
    “Can’t anything go right?”
    “Figures.”
    “It’s a CRUel world”
    “Stewardess… make mine a double”
    *“Phew, good job I used the phrase “climate change”; otherwise I would have looked a right boob.”

    Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
    And the skeptics are so delightful,
    And since we’ve nothing to show,
    Throw some dough, go find Joe, I’ll lay low!

    And I kinda like these submissions of mine:

    “Where’s a blind eye when you need one?”
    “Who’s the humorist at HAARP?”
    “Good thing we left early (arrived no later) or everyone would be laughing.”
    “Out of the frying pan and into the soup!”
    *“Get outta here with that parka!”

    I live in the north west of England (and yes, it is currently -5degC and covered in snow) but over the past 30 years I have regularly travelled to the US. One of my memories is from about 1993, I missed my connection back to the UK because the taxi driver taking me from La Guardia to JFK gave me a tour of Long Island to boost his fare, and I was sat in my hotel room fuming with anger watching some talk show on the TV. On which a popular female singer of the day said “I cry myself to sleep every night knowing my young son will never see snow in New York”. It made me smile then, it makes me smile even more now. (You will recall that in the early 90′s there were a few years of low winter precipition across the northern hemisphere)

    I just had to weigh in on this 631 comment thread.

    “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. –Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

    “In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

    Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

    We, therefore, the Representatives, of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

    There was a page at Climate4you.com regarding a comparison of the amount and rates of change between the early and late warming. Can’t find it though. It is a bit hard to browse the site. He found very little difference.

    I have done this in an Excel chart with old Hadcrut info. Probably before the latest “fixes”. It showed what Monton shows.

    Also, for fun I did a chart where I averaged the temperatures for each warming and cooling period, created anomalies for each period based on each average. The early and late warming differed by 0.06.

    I wrote this up in the comments section a thttp://wmbriggs.com/blog/?p=1467, which also comments on Patrick Micheals book Climate of Extremes and his comments on the early late warming.

    Marshmallow World music !
    By: Carl Sigman

    Ahhhh, it’s a marshmallow world in the winter,
    When the snow comes to cover the ground.
    It’s the time for play, it’s a whipped cream day,
    I wait for it the whole year round!

    Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly,
    In the arms of the evergreen trees;
    And the sun is red like a pumpkin head,
    It’s shining so your nose won’t freeze!

    The world is your snowball, see how it grows,
    That’s how it goes, whenever it snows.
    The world is your snowball just for a song,
    Get out and roll it along!

    It’s a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts,
    Take a walk with your favorite girl.
    It’s a sugar date, so what if spring is late,
    In winter it’s a marshmallow world!

  709. JER0ME says:

    Dr. Bob (10:42:37) :

    I am currently trying to find out more information on this:

    In Lord Monckton’s letter to Dr. Pachauri he (unscientifically)
    demonstrated that the slopes for the previous periods of warming were
    similar to the slope of the warming period we are currently in (page 6
    in the PDF linked below.)

    http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/originals/pachauri_letter.pdf

    However I’m having trouble finding data or studies that demonstrate
    the warming is occurring at the same rate as earlier in the century.

    The graph there speaks for itself surely? The very same graph that is being used to tell us that the rate if warming is dramatically and continuously increasing, can just as well be used to show that it has happened before at exactly the same rate twice last century, with little or no CO2 to make it happen.

    The same graph, completely different message.

    The point being made is that the figures don’t lie, the lies are being made to figure (to paraphrase my high school statistics teacher)

But it isn’t the snow that doomed the summit’s agenda – it was the moral incoherence of the Western leaders there. On the one hand, they appealed to lofty Western ideals like public-mindedness and charity. On the other, they portrayed the culture which gave rise to these values as monstrously exploitive and on the verge of anihilating all life on the planet. Can’t have it both ways – and the politicians got stuck on this paradox.

    Let us start a new UN Agency which will enforce that all dead animal corpses are collected (by officers of this mentioned UN agency) and when they rot, we will collect all the dangerous greenhous gases in a bottle.

    Who can’t say that Copenhagen was a success?!

  920. On December 10 last, a small Obama statue unveiled at Taman Menteng, Central Jakarta. The statue named “Barry Dream Statue” that shows Obama wearing a little T-shirts and shorts were lifting his left hand the infestation small butterfly.

    This statue of development initiated by an organization called Friends of Obama. The bottom of the statue reads “Little play with her mother in this Menteng area. He grew up and became President of the United States (U.S.) to 44 and Nobel Peace Prize. ”

    Stance identified only reason for giving inspiration to the children and the teachers that education in Indonesia can print an extraordinary president. In 1967-1971, a small Obama once served on elementary school students in two schools, namely grade 3 in elementary school and moved to Assisi Besuki Menteng elementary school in the 4th grade now the SDN 01 Menteng.

    Related establishment statue, a positive response came directly from President Barack Obama. Having heard the news, Obama had promised would look directly at the statue visited Jakarta in early 2010.

    Establishment of “Barry Dream Statue” was not without resistance. Some small communities Jakarta, for example, consider the statue as an absurdity that made up. Mr Obama once lived childhood in Menteng.

    Although today he made history as the U.S. President, Obama is an American citizen, not a nobody in the history of the Indonesian nation. Obama is considered not to have an important contribution to the Indonesian people.

    In contrast to, for example, “Clinton Statue” which was established and inaugurated in Kosovo in November. Populous Muslim country in the rest of Eastern Europe were made by former President Bill Clinton as their hero.

    After the break away from Yugoslavia in 1991, the prolonged war and genocide can not be circumvented in Kosovo.

    Until the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia Clinton orders in 1999 until the surrender. Kosovo had just declared its independence in 2008.

    The relevance of “Barry Dream Statue” many critics questioned whether the nation has been the lack of a more worthy and appropriate for making statues and placed in Menteng Park? If the purpose of establishment of the statue to give inspiration to the youth of the nation, why is not such figures as Ali Sadikin, M Husni Thamrin, Ismail Marzuki, or legends such as The Pitung Batavia or Batavia Benyamin Sueb figures?

    Is harder, the critics claim that this nation is a sovereign nation, a country that has identity as an independent nation.

    Statues Obama has no relevance to the history of Indonesia. The monument should be seen from the historical struggle of the Indonesian nation. Like the statue of General Sudirman or Prince Diponegoro who was recorded in the history of Indonesia.

    For all the reasons why, according to his critics, should be a statue of Obama in Menteng Park must be dismantled and lowered for not complying with the color and Indonesianness face.

    Then, how should treat a small statue of Obama standing already overdo it? Is it because of the criticism and the various reasons and should be dismantled and lowered it? Or refer to the penggagasnya reasons, the statue was still standing upright in Menteng Park until President Barack Obama was later seen directly, and let the kids be proud Menteng.

    Without having to engage in two currents sentimentalistis interests, it’s good to see, explore, and understand the existence of the statues of the monument, which still exists whether or not exist anymore.

    In essence, it is clear the existence of a statue of the monument not set in stone. Sometimes he made and the established thanks to a regime, which one day could be dismantled and lowered, or vice versa can also still exist because of fragrant name.

    May still remember the scene on the monument overthrow Saddam Hussein statue in downtown Baghdad after the U.S. invasion succeeded in overthrowing the regime in 2003. So did overthrow the statue of Lenin in 1991 after the Soviet disbanded and turned into Russia. Unfortunately, there is no monument or a statue of Suharto in Jakarta, because if any, may also be cut down students in 1998.

    The monument is poured, whether in the form of statues and paintings, depicting the existence of the ruler or the aromatic character name.

    In his work titled Beauty and Islam: Aesthetics in Islamic Art and Architecture (1997), Majid Fakhry explained that the monument represents an existence.

    Like the statues of many established in Europe or the paintings that decorate the old buildings in Europe, they wanted to show an existence.

    Dikreasi monument that artists have lived in his time and trying to tell us who lives now that they never existed in his day.

    The question, whether the statue of the character’s impressive because terkandungnya truth in it or vice versa? If not, the statue is certain to be torn down.

    The statue as a symbol actually represents the truth, both versions of a regime of truth and the truth of people’s version. If the truth is accepted by both parties, either by the authorities and the people, a memorial statue would survive until whenever.

    But on the other hand, if the truth versions only rulers and not for the people, wait for the date of the game.

    At the time ruler and his regime is gone, monumennya statue will also be eliminated.
    In the context of “Barry Dream Statue”, live how society Jakarta or Indonesia in general take the perspective. Would Obama or placed as a symbol of historical figures who have their own impression of most people of Indonesia, or vice versa Obama became a symbol of U.S. arrogance?

    Problem is overthrown, or at least “Barry Statue Dream” is a matter of time. For maybe the pejorative tone that was criticized for a small statue of Obama only a small part of Indonesian society. While most of it supports the existence of these statues.

    If any statue in Menteng Park will be dismantled again, let the time said. Does Obama on his way to prove the promises of change over time, or vice versa. If Obama broken, just Collapse image. If not, abadikanlah him as a world figure who had an impressive heart of Indonesian society.

Not sure how to show him to folks in the animated version, or to send to Anthony to consider adding to the photo?? Suggestions?

    The flickr non-animated version was/is at: Rational Debate (01:59:44) :

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/45729162@N07/?saved=1

    He’s animated very much like Mann is animated in the “Hide the Decline” spoof video, pumping elbows up and down in a little dance… makes him pretty funny where the still version isn’t anything to bother with. Sorry about that, I didn’t realize before that he wasn’t animated on the flickr upload.

    Anyhow, if anyone knows how/where I can upload the animated version, and have him still be animated, please post and let me know. Or if Anthony or moderators are interested, let me know where to send him. :0)
