Hump Day Hilarity: songs for round up day

This is amusing: We sing at events supporting peace and social justice around Oxfordshire.

That description from their web page seems nice, until you listen to what they are singing.

“what shall we do with the climate skeptics… if they won’t shut up?”

Maybe this? Hmmm, not so funny.

At least they didn’t explode any kids

h/t to The Daily Bayonet

 

UPDATE: The Lyrics

Climate Skeptic by Douglas Hamilton words copyright

Tune: What shall we do with the drunken sailor

The verses are sung in unison; the chorus is sung in harmony

Chorus:

What can you do with a climate skeptic x3

If they won’t shut up

1. Tie up their assets in coastal property x3

Rising expectations

2. Put ‘em in a desert and ration their water x3

We’ll see how they like it.

3. Take ‘em to the artic and make ‘em tread water x3

‘Mongst the polar bears.

4. Lock ‘em in a room with nothing but money x3

See what good it does them

5. Make ‘em explain to their children’s children x3

Why they did not care

Seems to me the cumulative IQ in that choir is something less than that of a turnip.

Truly appalling. Such a nice, prim, genteel chorus—until you hear their vile, hateful lyrics.
Does anyone still think this is just about ‘the science’?

Shows quite clearly that warmism is a religious cult – development stage comparable to the age of the inquisition. I see potential for development but it might take a few religious wars.

The depth of self-righteousness indignation is astounding, but it does cast a light on understanding why so-called witches were burned enthusiastically by the general public. Sociologically it would be interesting to see where the greatest anit-skeptic ranting is: during the days of the Inquisition, the greatest witchburners were Germans, then French, then the Scots. The English hung and drowned their witches, but to a lesser extent than the Scots. The Italians and Spanish were actually better at not killing off their political and neighbourly rivals under the guise of witchcraft. Which is another good example: the witchcraft persecutions were more about the wealth taken from the accused and the settling of scores than about actual practices of witchcraft. Just as climate alarmism is less about climate change damages than about settling socio-political scores and …. money.

The good news is, they didn’t bother to rehearse. So we can’t really call it a “concerted” effort!

That is so not-beautiful, but is almost moving, as in related to . . . movement.
It is such a contrast to this random act of culture:

Nothing like the sound of Orwellian sheep to add holiday cheer.
But seriously, I have a question for anyone who might have an idle moment as the season sets in:
1. If we release CO2 and energy by burning carbon-based fuel, and then
2. natural processes absorb all the CO2 and energy to re-form the carbon-based fuel,
how is there any net release of energy to the environment?
Indeed, since some of the energy from (1) escapes into space, I would assume that we need energy from space just to enable (2).

Speaking of idiots, the famous London Black Cabs may be seeing their last days.
The London city officials require that all new black cabs need to be all electric by 2020.
I can just see it now, you call a cab and get the following response..
“Be there in 3 hours gov, just chargin’ the old girl”

Yes, peace and social justice. I couldn’t make out any of the things they would do to people such as us, but it probably isn’t a group hug.

Well, there’s certainly no way we’re going to shut up, and in fact telling us to do so will have the opposite effect. So, I guess that means we’re in big trouble. I, for one am quaking in my boots! From laughter, that is.
Thanks, Anthony. You sure know how to lighten the mood.

Thanks for the link Anthony, the hump day Wattsalanche is a lovely distraction from the fresh 2ft of global warming on the driveway.

“The group is named after the colour of the ribbons worn by the Levellers, a radical movement in Cromwell’s Model Army. The Levellers believed in equality for all, justice, and human rights – things that inspire us, centuries later. We try to be true to the spirit of the Levellers – steadfastness in the face of oppression, determination to live by their principles.”
I don’t remember the Levellers having a penchant for hypocrisy in the history books.

Its easy to hate, one step from fanaticism and ignorance and intolerance too many. Its hard for cult members to define and adhere to normal civilised moral behaviour buts its also a very natural psychological reaction of true believers to lash out in anger at any other people who do not belong to the cults greater personality.
To admit error, ‘when the facts change I change my mind’ is actually difficult and represents the highest gift of higher human endeavour. When a cult group personality is forced to face reality it acts to withdraw from that reality but also begins to hate those this group personality sees as responsible for this exposure. The natural reaction of the fanatic is anger and hatred and denial and a desire for revenge.
The tragic result of the years of brainwashing by cynical opportunists has created many fanatics, they will find it almost impossible to see reason and return to some semblance of rational thought, just as rescued cult members are difficult to be deprogrammed so a whole mass of people with an entrenched belief system will be cut loose. The poisonous legacy of a poisonous anti human anti rational belief system unleashed by selfish cynical and manipulative forces will linger long after the CAGW theory is derided by those who champion it today.
