Heh, gaze upon the face that launched a thousand quips.
I figured though, that I owed Dellers a linky for the big LOL I got this morning as I read that CTM gets press in the UK Telegraph for his recent WUWT article.
The figures refer to the number of “views” for Gore’s special “24 Hours Of ManBearPig” which this column helped celebrate the other day. Gore claims that as many as 8.6 million flocked to his thrilling festival of climate fear; but a nasty cruel man called Charles the Moderator at Watts Up With That? has “done the math” and reckons the figure is probably more like 17,000. And that, he believes, is a generous estimate.

Another deflated climate change estimate!
Charles…….at last! Something to make me smile….you geek! 😉 By the way… I am DHL’ing the cat to take care of that lip growth!
You are all wicked wicked people who will get your just deserts for making fun of a holy and wondrous man. I believe by buying beach front properties he has by his saintly faith managed to lower the sea level, if not walk on it. His vast fortune made from climate change is a signal from the Universe that he is correct in his blessings and it his said that he can even make the USA rugby team capable of winning a match in the world cup. ( Ok Ok that may be a real miracle, but you get my drift)
Attaboy, Charles!
Well done, Charles the Moderator, and much thanks for the many other great things you do at WUWT.
What CTM failed to appreciate is that if you consider the 17000 ‘attendees’ as a proxy for climate interest, and carry out a statistical assessment using ‘Mannian’ theories, it is clear that the rate of ‘attendees’ was spiking up sharply during the last few minutes of the 24 hours, having flatlined for the previous 23 and a bit hours. Clearly CTM ignored the possibility that this ‘hockey stick’ response meant that, with high certainty, there were going to be 8.6 million ‘attendees’ by the end of hour 25. Jeez, some people just don’t understand stats, do they?
This ‘rebuttle’ was drafted, peer-reviewed (by myself), and ‘OK’d’ by a randomly selected editior teetering on the brink of resignation all within 8 minutes 32 seconds. Now move along folks, nothing to see here!
Eeek!!!! Run Away…. Run Away!!!!!!!!!!
Aha! I always thought CTM was working behind the scenes to make sure the contentiousness level at WUWT was high enough to ensure the readers don’t get bored. I’m going to go back and check all my comments to make sure he hasn’t changed them.
Hideous Gelfling!!!!!!

Times Atlas to omit Maldives in upcoming edition: report
MALE, September 21 (HNS) – The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World will completely omit Maldives in its upcoming 14th edition, media reports say.
British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported that the Times Atlas will omit Maldives, Tuvalu – an island nation located midway between Hawaii and Australia – and major parts of Bangladesh in order to convey the “emotional truth” about “man-made climate change”.

Careful Charles, Al may take up residence in his waterfront property near you and curse you with endless blizzards.
Way to go Charles!!!
“I didn’t go through 8 years of Evil Moderator school to be called nasty and cruel, thank you very much.” – CTM, Evil Moderator
Ah, Charles, Charles, Charles [The Moderator]!! Wicked funky nifty kewl photo to match the peice.
Pete H., no need to DHL the cat for that CTM lip growth – the cat is already eye’n it. Where’d ya think the photo came from? Clearly it’s the Cat’s Eye View of Our Own Charles The Moderator.
If CTM had really done his homework, he would have found that most of the 17,000 were skeptics doing due diligence.
What’s that saying again ? You’ve got to be cruel to be kind ?
CTM,
Stuck you head over the Gorean parapet? That is cool. What did you see in the Goreacle’s world? I would think your view must have been Orwellian and ahhhh hot. : )
So with Al baby it seem it is both millions of degrees and millions of CRP participants . . . and for him also it seems that through the years it is millions of dollars in green marketeering. [chuckling]

There is a feeding frenzy going on in the comments there.
Congratulations, Charles the Moderator, you ol’ evil one / sarc.
I wonder if the Administration sent over some of those $16 muffins they had left over for the attendees?
Congratulations with your now peer-reviewed publication!
I think you’re absolutely right. I know nobody who did see the propaganda or read nor heard anyone even mentioning the event.
Alphabet soup! 🙂 CTM the NCM at WUWT.
