I’ve got lots of work to do this weekend, so I’ll leave it to you folks to entertain yourselves for awhile.
Be sure to tune in on noon PDT Monday for a special announcement related to Al Gore and TV.

You’re such a tease; must be all the TV experience. “… coming up after the break …”
OK, just to get the conversation started, I got a flyer in the mail this week for the annual Warren Miller movie – those of you who are snow sports enthusiasts, you will know this is an annual fall tradition to get you fired up for the coming winter snow play season. I was annoyed to see that this year one of their “corporate sponsors” is the Climate Reality project (“CRP” from here on). See link here for sponsorship info:

If you don’t already know, the CRP is Al Gore’s AGW political machine. Link for more info if you need it :

It’s really disappointing to see Warren Miller bring such a blantantly political sponsor into the movie. If you haven’t been to a Warren Miller movie, it is more of an event than a movie & all the “sponsors” are there – but it’s usually ski manufactures, resorts, etc. Having the CRP there will be a complete buzz kill. The movie is supposed to be about having fun & getting away from the reality of the world (and associated political crap) – this is really stepping away from why it is a fun event to go to.
I am torn between boycotting the movie this year & going and giving Al Gore’s representatives an ear full. If you are a Warren Miller fan, but not a fan of AGW theory, what would you do?

Well, if we’re gonna use teasers. I’ll start (just for fun) -a quiz.
Who’s seen the movie The Heroes of Telemark and what’s it got to do with global warming?
Unfortanately CRaP like this inundates our lives. The best way is to enjoy the movie, and the fact that CRP is spending money for your enjoyment!
Any truth to the warmunist claim that the Oregon Petition cover letter was intentionally made to look as though it was an official National Academy of Sciences document in order to lend the petition legitimacy?
CRP CEO travels all over the world, like Gore, to promote reducing peoples carbon footprint. Now they sponsor Warren Miller Entertainment which promotes traveling all over the world consuming energy to ski. Don’t get me wong,I love skiing but Jeff L sums up the situation nicely.
[sound of buzzer]
Did the director have the same name as a famous Nobel prize faker.
Does anyone have a link to a relatively simple timeline of the CAGW? “Who said what when” kind of stuff.
Thanks in advance.
@ur momisugly Jeff L –
Get a WUWT t-shirt and go have fun. It will dirve the gorebots crazy.

So the guy that inquired how to contact you about taking WUWT to the next level bought Current TV and putting WUWT on in some way?

At October 27, 2012 at 12:23 pm you ask
No, there is no truth in it, but so what?
If it were true then that would not affect the nature of the responses. And it is the responses which count.
Warmunists have tried to counter the Oregon Petition by obtaining similar polls which support their cause. All such attempts have failed so they try to smear the Oregon Petition. Your question derives from one such pathetic attempt at a smear.

New Zealand maybe positioning itself to “leave Kyoto” at the upcoming Doha round. Lets hope!

Hero’s of Telemark are the Norweigians who blew up the heavy water plant.
Was a harsh winter that year?
Not impressed by the film. Read the book, “Skis Agains the Atom”, much more real.

Thank the Creator the WUWT community had a major influence in wrecking the Cap and Tax UN carbon credit financing arm of their global governance scheme.
Think I read somewhere that in statistics two standard deviations was at a 95% confidence level.
Shouldn’t that be 97% for post-normal numerology?
Under the “be careful of what you wish for” and “unintended consequences”
it appears that the undercurrent of “it is worse than you said, you pay me”
has now been formalized by the Italians in
The L’Aquila Earthquake Trial
Regardless of the details, any scientist/technologist/bureaucrat who makes a public statement of anything will now always
“actuate the negative.”
if the alternative is to be sued/tossed in the clink.
Just look at Irene and Sandy for excellent examples of the bureaucratic CYA version.
have you seen the price of carrots in the shop.

This is the “models” tracks for Hurricane Sandy offshore of my home here in Charleston. One idiot model has the storm going EAST TONIGHT!
If the “models” can’t tell me where the damned hurricane is gonna be tomorrow, how in the hell are they gonna tell me what the temperature will be in 2015 or 2020??!! Duhhhh………….

Kyoto expires end of 2012 anyway, so what?

Interesting quote in that article suggesting that 85% of all carbon emissions are not covered by any agreement for one reason or another.
I think the real question about the next round will be less about who may quit, and more about who is left in at all. Even those who sign, will, in my opinion, be signing mostly for show. They’ll drag their feet on ratification waiting to see if
a) any of the players that matter like India and China step up (they won’t) and
b) if 16 years of flat temps turn into 17…18…19…

Agreed – the EU are still arguing over their stance at Doha – Poland is being a pain in their side by not buying in to the EU bulls***. Doha will just subside into a promise to meet again at some other nice location; until ultimately no one turns up any more.
Then it will be – oh – by the way – what was all that talk of CAGW about in the early 21st Century?
The central issue of evidence for projected catastrophic anthropogenic global warming is how that evidence is evaluated. The “consensus” method, led by the UNIPCC, is to evaluate evidence on how well it fits with the hypothesis. If it fits, then the evidence is accepted (and in cases exaggerated). If it contradicts the CAGW hypothesis, then the evidence is anti-science.
I believe that scientific evidence should be evaluated by more rational and objective criteria. The projected impacts create costs, so assessment criteria needs to be within the realms of economics. For those interested, (and with an understanding of intermediate level economics), I have drafted out how that assessment criteria might look. Please let me know what you think.
