Oh this is rare, two Friday Funnies. This one is still rooted in the same humor sources as the new cartoon by Josh posted here.
Now you see it…94,910 people on board (last night ~11:30PM PST)
Now you don’t…73,010 people on board (today ~9AM PST)
And those two guys look so happy about “Liftshare week”, but I digress.
It seems that there was a quality control problem, which is what I’ve always said is the biggest issue in climate science. [UPDATE: They definitely had to purge some 20K+ in people numbers. This is confirmed independently here by Richard North of the EU Referendum blog in the UK, who noticed well before I did.]
When I can be signed up, along with Lord Monckton and James Delingpole (see the top image) along with Osama Bin Laden, Elvis Presley, the late Michael Crichton, and Nessie the Loch Ness Monster, you know you’ve got a QC problem.

Actually, there is another gaff. The “Learn” logo is stupid. (A) Everyone knows you learn nothing from watching television, and (B)…. Rabbit Ears???? Really???? It’s 2010 people!!!! How many even know what those are?????
Lukewarmers, skeptics and deniers are known for their total lack of humour. They would never sign up to 10:10 just to poke fun at them.

Someone should tell those nutters that cutting too much CO2 means oxygen, the stuff you breath to stay alive, will get cut in the long run.
This 10:10 stuff seems to be a mutual suicide plan. I certainly ain’t joining.
I think the 73k number is for the UK only when you pull up a UK news story (http://www.1010global.org/uk/2010/10/jadore-1010-paris), the main global page is showing over 103k (http://www.1010global.org/).

As I highlighted with screencaps last night on this thread:

Actually its the Warmist Fanatics who are known for their total lack of humor. Who can afford to laugh when “OMIGOD THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!!!!!!”
4. “Get help…?”
Yup. The 10:10ers could use some professional help, if ya’ know what I mean.
Lukewarmers, skeptics and deniers are known for their total lack of humour
And Warmists are known for making brazen, unfounded statements.
The 10:10 logo seems to be ‘The Age of Stupid’.
My bet is that phrase will come back to haunt them.
Perhaps ~20k people were detonated for unsuitable thoughts.
…and a shot at the first “hide the decline!” comment…
Oh and did anyone read their ten tenets?
http://www.1010global.org/global/about/ten-tenets
“4. Successes are celebrated, rather than failures highlighted, so as not to discourage people/organisations from signing-up for fear they will be criticised for failing to achieve 10%”
I think they broke at least three of their ten tenets with No Pressure.
“Lukewarmers, skeptics and deniers are known for their total lack of humour. They would never sign up to 10:10 just to poke fun at them.”
I know what you mean, Richard. After all, we didn’t find “No Pressure” funny at all. That proves we have no sense of humor.
Elvis has now left the blog . . .
hehe
“Lukewarmers, skeptics and deniers are known for their total lack of humour”
Disproven…
My apologies Anthony, I didn’t see that the other story was updated and the screencap sources were clearly marked.
REPLY: No worries 🙂
After the museum fiasco you’d think they’d learn that anything not worth doing well is best not done at all.
Franny dont want to talk to Phelim “noteviljustwrong” McAleer about her airplane Liftshare:
10:10 caught fiddling the books; claims ‘we knew it was wrong, but it’s just a publicity stunt’.
73,000 signups huh? There were 72,000 stimulus checks sent to dead people. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101007/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_stimulus_checks_dead_people . Coincidence? Or night of the living dead ( perhaps the corpses really were stimulated ) .
I wonder if Batman bin Suparman is on board.
http://comicfoundry.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/batman-suparman-02a.jpg
So what are they doing to get that curious collection of sign ups?
Have they just got a program which polls google for famous\popular names that have spoken on climate science and dumps them in the ‘on board’ list?
I hope some of AGW gang who are in it just for the goverment hand outs are busy in their spare time writing ” Confessions of a AGW propaganda agent – a down and dirty guide to 20 years of every underhand trick we were told to try “
The gentleman in the first screen capture in the article above, who is wearing the orange cap, looks quite serious. All of the other pics that 10:10 uses as their “Join Us” images are of smiling individuals. I wonder what type of demographic the gentlemen in the orange cap is intended to attract…
-20,00 in the UK? wonder if they got :”THE RED BUTTON!!!”
Fuzzy carbon accounting…

‘Lukewarmers, skeptics and deniers are known for their total lack of humour. They would never sign up to 10:10 just to poke fun at them.’
don’t be a t’ol. And disregarding the obvious fact of trying to poke fun at “Lukewarmers, skeptics and deniers” for not being fun, but what fun is it to sign up to something you have a right to sign up to but would be deleted for doing just so because some hobnob t’ol has decided by presumption you wouldn’t sign up to something like it?
Pointing out that whomever can sign up who ever, now that’s poking fun at someone’s lack of keeping their own system in order. :p
