It’s worse than we thought!

They get 72 climate virgins, so they’re laughing.

Good one, Josh!

If only …
It’s more like news of its death have been greatly exaggerated; bureaucracies never die, they just mutate into more deadly forms.

Well, maybe now skeptics will focus on the EPA.
Through the EPA’s greenhouse gas regulations the undead IPCC lives on. EPA regulations to limit GHG emissions are on the books and have the force of law unless reversed by the courts or legislatively preempted by a law that Congress passes and Obama will actually sign (or have his veto overridden).
The EPA’s Endangerment Finding is a target rich environment – it relies primarily and extensively on the IPCC.

Boy have you got that right. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
The rest of the quote is
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship”
I figure a government collapses when the number of bureaucrats and the number of laws completely strangles the wealth producers in red tape and taxes.

Is this what railroad-Pachauri would call “The End of the Line”?

Well, after the victory of the Democrats in 2008, I predicted that limiting CO2 would fade as an issue for the Democrats and their supportive media. It was only a political tool to undermine the Republicans.
It worked. However, it will be as painful for the Democrats to control CO2 as the Republicans. So, ditch it.
The Copenhagen farce quickly followed. The MSM is looking for a graceful exit. Their readers may be so ignorant they may find one.
Expect a few efforts to raise taxes or increase Federal regulatory power, and then, some other issue will be created. Who knows, they may subsitute “climate change” for global warming and continue right on as before. They are already doing that in some writing.

To paraphrase Mark Twain : I won’t attend the funeral , but I will write a letter of approval . However , the reports of my death have been greatly exagerated may well be the case .

The movement is not dead in California. We still have the citizens’ vote on Proposition 23 in November 2010, which if passed will suspend the state’s climate change law (AB 32) until the state’s unemployment drops to 5.5 percent for four consecutive quarters. Presently the unemployment is at 12.5 percent.
This is one of the biggest issues ever to face California, and is generating intense interest and debate. What is very interesting is the change in emphasis from the AB 32 proponents. This was made into law on the basis of stopping global warming, yet now the proponents describe AB 32 as a jobs-creating law based on green energy technology.
They have only a vague idea of what those technologies are or will be, or when they will be invented, or how many of the jobs created will actually be in California rather than in other states or other countries, and how much government subsidies will be required and for how long to sustain those companies that will be involved.
Sadly, almost everyone I talk to has no idea what AB 32 is or does, or that Prop 23 is on the ballot. The election turn-out will likely be high since we are electing a new Governor. But, the wording of the Proposition is hostile, using words like “major polluters.” My feeling is that the average voter will read this wording in the voting box, and click NO because he or she thinks a YES vote will produce more pollution.

A celebration, some fireworks, in the background would be a nice touch.
No, I think that the alone and unmourned fits the bill quite nicely. Poignant, rather like the funereal of Scrooge as shown by Christmas Future. “Spirit, tell, me, whose body lay there? “

I would have used a bigger stone to keep the buggers anchored.
johnnythelowery: you were almost right. The report should be renamed AR5 backwards or AR5 first.

The BBC only reported on the IAC the day it came out. Nothing yesterday, as far as I know, and today the first half hour of Today news programme was 20 minutes (20 minutes!) about Tony Blair’s book, a slot about a new musical and yet more about the Pakistani cricketers. So either theBBC think that AGW is not important after all, or they are trying to distract us with bread and circuses.

Today’s Daily Telegraph (UK) has a marvellous cartoon of melting icey letters IPCC with horrified Pachauri skidding down the disintegrating final ‘C’.

Those of the hard left constantly reinvent themselves. They really want their world government. The price of the Open Society is constant vigilence etc etc

The US is not a democracy Gail; we are a Constitutional Federal Republic with representative democracy.
The IPCC is not dead and is not going away. Anyone who thinks it will is only fooling themselves. Don’t start yelling, “Victory!” too soon because you will most likely end up eating your words.

As used to be in very old times, they took all the gold, the servants, their wives, and the occidental culture to the grave with them.

Oh My!, now I realize it, PATCHY is a ZOMBIE!
